Fabius Maximus Update Delay

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, we have some bad news to share about the upcoming “Fabius Maximus” update.

While testing it, we discovered some major issues that we are not confident we will be able to fix in time for the intended October 28th release. Consequently, we had to make the tough decision of delaying this update by a week into the first week of November, which also pushes the follow-up patch with the end condition options and unit balancing closer to mid November.

We know many of you were excited to try the improvements brought to the game by this update, but we think that delaying until these issues have been resolved is the better option. However, we may be able to provide a beta version through Steam for those willing to give it a try.

Frankly, with a nickname like “Fabius Maximus,” we should not be surprised by this turn of events, but we still want to apologize for the additional delay.

Thank you for your patience and understanding

- The Amplitude Team

I think everyone is disappointed that we don't get it sooner. But i also think everyone will be happier to wait to get a patch that actually works. I do really want to get my hands on that Beta Patch tough, so any info when we will be getting that?

Roses are red, gaming is fun. You are carrying too much, to be able to run.

Better wait than be sorry! And in the meantime I will still just enjoy the game whenever I can. I just hope you won't forget out on the Google Stadia version. The game works flawless, the touch controls on Android and iOS are great and gameplay is really smooth.

It's just a bit painful to see the game is not up-to-date at all....

It is what it is. That said, if you guys are giving this update a bit more time in the oven, could you please look into doing something with Collective Minds and Land Raiser? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these two were not even mentioned in the Update Content Overview last week. I'm afraid whatever balancing you do, these two abilities will still put Scientist and Builder cultures leagues above all other cultures and still make the endgame eras feel extremely short in comparison to other eras regardless of how you adjust late game tech and industry costs. These abilities can't be left in their current state.
