It is you that keeps me motivated. Not sure what your new year resolutions are, but mine is that I should find the time to make some more regular public updates, especially on Shadow Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been working hard since summer and January 2023 should see the official release of 1.12. If you are already on the open beta that won&#8217;t change anything for you, but if you are still on 1.11 it will make a world of difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max a few months later the Oceania DLC should follow up the 1.12 official release. I have been happy to see that most people understand why I am doing a paid DLC. Yes, it is to make continued development of Shadow Empire economically viable. Note that I am putting a lot of effort into improving the Core game as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope the DLC will do well as I have so many ideas on the shelf to follow up with.  Please help me get a rough idea about what you&#8217;d like to see in the Shadow Empire future and answer the two questions below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"polls-19\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_19\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_19_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"bdf2d3fae3\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"19\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>I would prefer a possible 2nd DLC to be focussed on<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-19-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-96\" name=\"poll_19\" value=\"96\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-96\">Tech Level Zero (and 1+2), Complete Mad Maxish game starts<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-97\" name=\"poll_19\" value=\"97\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-97\">The mid and late game, with much more intricate politics and trade<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-98\" name=\"poll_19\" value=\"98\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-98\">I do not want you to do any DLC, but focus on main game instead<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-99\" name=\"poll_19\" value=\"99\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-99\">Whatever you think is best<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(19);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-19-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vrdesigns.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"polls-20\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_20\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_20_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"6832c933e6\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"20\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What would be the most important improvement you want to see in the core game?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-20-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-100\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"100\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-100\">AI Speed<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-101\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"101\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-101\">AI Quality<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-102\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"102\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-102\">Graphics and illustration improvements<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-103\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"103\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-103\">Interface improvements<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-104\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"104\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-104\">Supply system rework (to make it easier to use)<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-105\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"105\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-105\">Enrichment of the Tech Tree<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-106\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"106\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-106\">More Planet Statistics impact on the rules<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-107\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"107\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-107\">Allowing Leaders to embed with normal Units and Assets<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-108\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"108\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-108\">More diversity in Minor and Major Regime Types (and cultures)<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-109\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"109\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-109\">Improvements to the late games (&gt;150 rounds)<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-110\" name=\"poll_20\" value=\"110\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-110\">Enrichment of the Politics &amp;
