While I am aware a new GM was brought on board, GM Luna, to help speed up the process, we still dont have navies. Troop transports, battleships, blockade runners, goods transports, captains for fleets, and area of influence mechanics for fleet control of waterways.

Oh yeah and pirates for the resource convoys. Which capture the ships and dissapear into the fog of war of course.

well if you keep your armies in your sleevies, where will you keep your navies? Be patient, they've said that ships won't be a year '11 project.

I just more or less said that in less cuddly hugging text Fluffy.

Given that seafaring ships require pathfinding, clearly they won't be in until after pathfinding.

We've had angry Petitions from players asking us why we've cancelled the moving cities exodus expansion (we haven't, see above).

We've also seen players in Global Chat talking about how excited they are about the release of naval units later this week (naval units are highly unlikely to happen *this year* let alone this week).

We've received some quite abusive rants along the lines of "why are you working on 3D buildings when you promised x?" (because 3D-model-makers don't actually write algorithms for Faction AI).

So we'd be grateful if players could stick to the facts of what has been announced officially in this forum, with the most recent mention or announcement taking precedence over any earlier incarnations.
