Will Khalifate be left out of 1.10?

Post by Coffee »

Hello

Just noticed that the SVN version has now not got any Khalifate units. Is the Khalifate faction going to be left out of 1.10?

If so, maybe there should be a thread about this on the forums somewhere. Would have been good also to indicate that they are going to become liminal and that kind of thing also, considering it was going to go mainline.

I don't know the reason(s) behind the decision, but right now it looks like the Khalifate will definitely not make it into 1.10.

Hey, if they never make it to mainline, they could always replace the Airiya in the Feudal Era :p
Maintainer of the Imperial Era and the campaigns Dreams of Urduk, Epic of Vaniyera, Up from Slavery, Fall of Silvium, Alfhelm the Wise and Gali's Contract.
But perhaps 'maintainer' is too strong a word.

AFAIK, the Khalifate are being removed for 1.10, because they are not balanced yet (which is rather important for a stable release). Instead they will be released again as an add-on, which makes fast changes (e.g. increasing a units damage, or modifying its movetype) much easier. So, we may hope for them to be in 1.12 mainlined in a stable release.

That would be possible, if we updated the Feudal Era.
