What should have priority for continued work on SE? That was my main question behind this poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for participating (if you did)! And here is a link to study the results: <a href=\"https:\/\/survs.com\/report\/r4wshuqikc\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/survs.com\/report\/r4wshuqikc', 'https:\/\/survs.com\/report\/r4wshuqikc');\">https:\/\/survs.com\/report\/r4wshuqikc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to share almost all feedback. Especially the results for the very important question 18 was very close. Personally I have a slight preference for adding exciting new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering new features the &#8216;bigger oceans and navy systems&#8217; was the most popular request. But just as popular as &#8216;better AI + increased AI speed&#8217; taken together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latter of those two is something (especially speed) that is causing part of the players (about 15%-20% to be (slightly) annoyed). So it is something I should get on top of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It needs to be said that some of the other (other than navy) possible new features got a lot of support as well (like more varied minor\/major cultures, weather\/terraforming, deeper trade systems, more regime profiles and deeper politics and harder difficulty going into mid game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I am quite sure after reading this that the AI speed and quality should be a major point to work on for the future. Not sure I can work a miracle, but it would be nice if I could cut the time by half. With some serious effort that should be possible. Also the model designer might well have to be given its own dedicated non-paper based popup window. AI + Model design count for me as improving existing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question I remain with is related to adding new features\u2026 The navy systems in particular\u2026 I have the time after the summer to do either those ships &amp; navy zones or do multiple other systems that together might add more to the game. I start to feel like avoiding the navy systems would allow me to actually free up a lot of time and push for a lot more fun content. Anyway the jury is still out on that question. I&#8217;ll by enjoying my summer months first and then come late summer\/ early fall i&#8217;ll make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for participating! It helps a lot to have an idea of whats on the SE players minds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best wishes, Vic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The poll has been running for a few weeks now and I have just closed it.
