3 Months and 12 days in Summary

I appreciate this post and the thoughtful remarks.... I have enjoyed my nine months of game play, but I too have been somewhat disappointed by the lack of new "bells & whistles" (that have been discussed for months) but more so by the recent lack of communication from the development team.  I write this as a loyal customer who wants to see great things come of this sandbox.

What about those muskrats? The only one you'll be disappointing when you fail to release them on time is me right? Unless someone else is anticipating the muskrats more than the AI factions...

They're like the meaning of life...only better. 

I can recall Faldrin and one or two others raising concerns similar to those outlined by Creat at the head of this thread, in the past. Like most players in Illy,  I have my own shopping list of developments that I would like to see prioritised in Illy. Chief among them is pathfinding; next comes resource values and sov for oceans and waterways.

Generally speaking I feel that "game content"   has seemed to slip down the list of priorities of late.  However, I seem to recall the devs pointing out that we should not always be reliant upon them to lead the community on developmental initiatives - this is a fair point to make. This game is a "sandbox" as the devs, in general and SC specifically, constantly reminds us.

 This game, now, has so many mechanics available that is in fact a simple matter for alliances to utilise them and promote their own tournaments, quests etc .Whilst the tournaments have been well received in Illy we should not become dependent on the devs for game play or game contents. We ALL need to make our contributions.

Nonetheless I feel that more frequent updates with game content would be  an improvement and once again I would plug "pathfinding" to be at the top of the list.

Edit: typo's
