ETA on Patch?

Last I heard the hope was a week or two, assuming QA goes well.

I would guess early March (2nd week by the latest), but it's hard to say right now.

I heard it mentioned that saves will be incompatible(spelling?), is this true? If so, I might just wait until the patch is out with buying the game.

We're in QA right now.  There are 3 absolute must features that we have to make sure are working well (the rest is gravy) 1) Updated/Smarter AI. 2) AI players replacing dropped players. 3) AI surrendering when its cause is hopeless.

There are other things in the works for future updates (improved multiplayer networking support, ironclad online updates, tweaks to units, etc.). But the 3 above we consider essential.

fix flagship dealy too please!

Thanks for the prompt response guys, and also the additional info on the patch contents. I guess I'm just used to Blizzard's patch note leaks giving time to ruminate on the changes before they've been released to the wild.

Oh make sure that if all human opponents drop out of an multiplayer game...you have an option to automatically win...beacuse than it will just be sorta pointless when you wanted to play against a human player in the first place.

Flagship deally?
