Conquest of Elysium 3 dev log

[Valerius]

I'm curious what decisions have to made when it comes to combat. For instance, with Dominions you decide the composition of your forces, the equipment for commanders, unit placement and a five turn script. The interaction of these factors makes for an interesting and challenging game - the drawback is that managing all this late game can be painful. I know that COE3 sacrifices some complexity in favor of streamlining play but if I'm about to face an opponent what are the things I need to take into account? If my units don't match up favorably with his is there something I can do to compensate for that?

And on a completely different note, is KO still involved with IW? Seems like it's been a few years since I've seen him post.
