What's still left to do
- Terrain tools
- Difficulty Balance
- More resource buildings
- More special buildings
- Performance optimizations
- Various bug fixes
I hope to be able to hit the June/July target for release. Players have expressed that they are eager to play the game, but would prefer a game that is as delayed but good instead of a rushed product :)
