To my knowledge, we don't have plans to change AI any further, especially as our AI team is now toiling away at Endless Space 2's AI.

Patched?  Hooray!  

No time to post,  must PLAY!!

Thanks for the patch Amplitude folks but it is going to be a little while before I can test it due to game backlogs...

Yes, but no mention of the other achievements

So are the achievements gonne be fixed? :) I see the mention of Mare Nostrum (probably need a new save to unlock it), but I see no mention of the others (full deck, from the depths, sea monsters related achievements)

So i guess it's going to be closer to 3 weeks? :(

Miss this game....

Though, about a month ago, Wilbefast posted this in regards to AI unit variety

The AI only ever uses a single type of faction specific unit in a game.

Yep - this is something we looked into during the development of Tempest, and they'll be a free update at the end of the week with a bunch of changes to the AI  If you are still running into this issue after the update then, yes, saves would be appreciated.

Are you saying now that this will not be happening?

Indeed, AI in Endless Space 2 is built using a completely different system than the one in our previous game (with the aim of being easier to tinker with). This unfortunately means that progress made on it isn't backwards-compatible.

That's sad to hear.

Isn't there any chance that you can back-port some of ES2's improvements to EL?

I do hope that they share a common code-base, at least to a certain degree?

Because it is 2 weeks already.

Tempest will be great after some polish.

@ frogsquadron For the longest time, the biggest issue with EL has been it's AI and the amount of struggle it puts up to being conquered. Once this is solved, I would consider this game to be one of the best on the market. IMHO, you all are REALLY close to that coming to fruition. 

I'm going to have to agree with Slashman. Be thorough, and take your rightful place as game developer legends. 

Take your time and do it right. We've waited this long already.

As mentioned somewhere else, this might take anywhere from a week to three, depending on whether our fixes for resource distribution work, or require worldgen work from Jean-Luc.

I'm sure they will start adressing the issues with Tempest before long.

I think they've been on these bugs already for some time, and they want to release a patch containing more fixes, rather than several small patches with a few fixes each.

Additionally, I also believe that they're allocating more time and resources for testing the patch, since Tempest introduced quite a few regressions, unfortunately - so they don't want this to happen again.

Either way, I'm very confident that we'll see a nice patch not before too long ^^

More than two weeks and still no update. It's a failure gentlemen.

Games are broken due to this big problem, but there is still no support.

Would like a minipatch as well. Tempest is fun, but it misses polish, and the error the sea monster gives, is quite annoying as it often interrupts MP

I think OP was just asking because, in another thread, we had assurances that we'd see a free update by the end of the week, and that was 16 days ago. I'm not complaining, but I'm just a bit curious about what the ETA is as well. 

Amplitude? Everything okay over there? 

Well, generally speaking ... IRWIR (It's Ready When It's Ready) ^^

I think the devs at Amplitude are really under heavy pressure, fixing bugs in EL, fixing bugs in ES2 and adding content and features, and maaaybe ... but just maybe ... working on something yet again completely new, ready to amaze us ^^

Let's give them some time. I personally think that it'll be worth the wait.
