Well, I often disagree with Eric but this time I am completely with him. There have been a damn lot of changes to the AI and very few of them have been thoroughly tested, probably. I have a very bad feeling, that we just saw the tip of the iceberg so far. Although the worst stuff has been removed, it would be a pity to ship an inferior AI that needs hours of polishing afterwards, ruining a lot of campaigns meanwhile. I admit it is more or less a gut feeling without hard evidence, but my instincts tell me we should look into this deeper. Many changes + high complexity + few tests = *lots* of bugs One more week sounds pretty reasonable to me. Maybe even more if we find enough additional problems. _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
