A friend of mine sent me an IM the other night, claiming he'd come across the patch notes of the still forthcoming 3.16 update. Not believing him, I demanded he'd show me these allegedly leaked patch notes, and to my surprise they were in fact very real. After perusing said patch notes, I came across something truly horrific. I could not believe my eyes. After staring at it in utter disbelief for several minutes, I decided I'd share an excerpt of this grievous information with you, the community of our highly venerated game.
Quote:
We are pleased to announce that we are making a complete overhaul of our strategy engine. Previously the combat was decided by inputs players would manipulate prior to the battle, and then having had the ability to view the ensuing fray afterwards, if he so chose to. We feel this engine does not meet up to the high standards of the genre in which we are planning on integrating Dominions 3 The Awakening into. Therefore, we are replacing this archaic engine with a new much improved one, where you as the player has direct control over every single battle in real time. Never before have you had such an emergent control over your armies and magics, worrying whether you'd lose half your army you've so painstakingly built up since the inception of the map, or whether you would cast the correct spell accordingly to facilitate the current situation being a thing of the past. Join us as we claim dominion over the world time and time again, with the most profound and tactile experience conceivable. We hope you enjoy battling just as much as we have enjoyed working on this project. Thank you for your support. We could not have done this without you.

Truly, this must not come to pass. I had to make the community aware of this so that we could take action against this prior to its planned release!
Leaked patch notes for 3.16!
