As someone who buys but almost never plays fantasy-based games, I should know better than to be tempted by this. Esp. fantasy 4x -- Fallen Enchantress and Endless Legend are installed but I simply never play them... And why did I drop $45 on Pillars of Eternity the other week?  Oh yeah, because I'm a sucker.

And yet...  those Tolkien-esque maps look freaking amazing.

Don't forget about the 30+ playable factions and their individual storyline campaigns.  :D

Q:

If the game is in 'Early Access', then why are the beta patches being released as opt-ins?  Are they so raw that some will likely need to revert to an older version?

I'm okay with all that, as it's the safe way to approach it with the Steam client limitations.  Just wondering if the beta opt-in patches are getting uploaded as soon as they're finished or if they are getting a little internal testing first.

I'm thinking it's essentially a combination of: 

1.)  Better safe than sorry

2.)  It's become standard practice for Steam anyway.

It's the game version of the Papacy.  That's why you can't play it.  Ties in to a couple of nations victory conditions.

Does it auto patch?  Or do I have to apply it myself?

For steam, right click on the game and open up "properties". Go to the beta tab and it drops down. Select "open beta". Do that once and it will automatically update to the newest test betas

Got in some more action as Sonneneve.  Palemoor declared on me and I have taken two of the Undead's provinces, including the capital.  They have an army in my territory, but, I am trying to lure them in to a trap and destroy them.  Found out how to take prisoners.  Not sure their signifigance yet, but, I'll keep'em :)

Finished my war with Palemoor.  I annexed all three of their provinces.  As soon as that operation was complete, six countries declared war on me!  Turns out, if you annex a capitol rather than occupy and leave before annexation, you incur a SERIOUS diplomatic penalty with everyone on the board.  Ariselle, Calland, Cragenwaste, Dunmar, Crivia, Riesental and one or two more that are escaping me right now, are all at war with me.  I have -50 relations with several other nations, including two that I have diplomats in already trying to improve relations.  Doesn't seem to be working :(  I have several units in queue, but already have all my Elite and Unique units built.  Not sure what is going to happen, but, it looks like I am in deep doodoo.
