No, they still need to add the Leech People. I expect them to be another Blood nation.

Leech People? Is this a joke or did you read it somewhere? I thought Kristoffer said that he has finalized the races for the release.

Oh cheese! That means more waiting time. I'm crazy enough already... They could add that in patch 3.01 or something. It's not that a new nation wouldn't be fun or anything, but for me the game is that what I'm waiting for. Thanks for Illwinter for all the work they have done.

I think that might have been a joke. Altho I do remember Kristoffer saying that the nations are set but he had some in mind already to add later. I dont remember if it was mod or patch. Knowing him, Im instantly real curious about who he has in running around in his mind.

ummm... I noticed july12th is listed twice in the development list. Does a spell let you redo a turn/day?

And for me the new nations is what I'm anticipating most

My biggest beef with Dom2 is that I feel there isn't a nation that I can fully empathize with and enjoy their style of play. Therefore new nations are probably what will help rekindle the passion in the best way.
Atleast, that's me

You could always make one for yourself. What style do you look for in a nation?
My question stands, if there are no major changes or bugs to be fixed then why dont they release it. Is it because they are waiting for version 3.00?

I honestly don't see how you could not find a nation that suits your style out of all the varied nations in Dom2.

That's what I don't understand either. That's what I was getting at when I was trying to determine how they can arbitrarily decide on a target version number in advance.
