-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You are right that it makes sense somehow, the only problem is that several smaller adjustments will be required. The problem is the earlier development releases will not get much playtesting, so I see this is the only decent way how we get several players to provide feedback before we get into the 1.12.x RC state (with the start of compatibility).
I would prefer to have a good idea about the Khalifate balancing already in 1.12.x. If we come to the conclusion that this really does not work out and things are by far too unbalanced for it to be the default for "normal" players in multiplayer we can probably still change it back to something different. I just see that many players will just not use the "Default + Khalifate" era resulting in us not getting much feedback and what we need now is feedback. Plus this faction is one of the greatest new things we have for the new stable series, so IMO it should be prominent. Yes, for (very) competitive tournament games it is likely that in 1.12.x the "classic" era would be used.ยด (or "old default" or however you call it).
