I think Yarlen has shared everything he CAN at this point. If IronClad is working on a Sins 2 or full expansion, burying that announcement in a thread about their current microexpansion is prolly not the best way to do it.
===============
Yarlen, quick question - can you slap up at least one screenie of the new work, or is at that stage yet. I realize the theme is diplomacy which makes it hard to actually show in-game content that'll be new until the very end, and you're most likely going to want to conserve things like the core trading/mission screens until you're done tweaking them, but perhaps a look at one of the new pirate vessels (if there are any) can be shared?
Put me down for a preorder, and thanks for making the price point of the game so appealing.
take a look at the (unofficial) youtube video made during pax. it shows the new diplomacy screen and gives a look at the diplomatic research screen. preliminary so far I guess, but it does give a little info.
well, glad it finally starts taking some form here. late fall probably means something like november, which would fit. entr. beta came in november and the final product came in february, so that makes sense.
I do have to say I wonder a bit about the 'we get down a discuss what we want to add' thing brad mentioned in the other thread. I mean, he himself started a diplo idea months back and by this stage I'd figure they should already be past throwing general ideas around and busy implementing stuff.
as for the pre-order. I have every confidence it will be a wonderful product and will quite likely give my say in the beta. but I have so far been less than happy with information policy and I will hold back until I get at least one good preview that goes into more detail about what all these new additions do, how they play out. but yeah, I get it, marketing and PR has its own ideas when what should be announced and nothing is worse than missign deadlines, scrapping ideas, etc. does not make the waiting any better though /)
