The devs have said that they want to try to get one more build of the beta up before release, probably this week.  It would be nice to have it for the weekend.

This makes me giddy as a schoolgirl.

Final beta is up before release next Thursday.  It seems pretty complete to me.  Other than some fine tuning in a Day One patch, this might as well be the release version.

OTHER FIXES
Fixed 250+ issues. Too many fixes to be listed here... :)

I m in the middle of the tutorial, and I would suggest going through it even if you've been playing. A few things have been changed, particularly how combat works and optimization of boroughs


[edit]I take back what I said about there being nothing more to add.  Having finished the tutorial and gone back to the main menu, I can't find the faction editor.  I assume it will be in next week's build.

I haven't played this for several updates, sounds like its time to get back in.

One more thing.   The tutorial is one of the best I've seen in a long time.  Clear, concise, and covers (almost) all of the bases.

[Gusington]

How long is the tutorial?

[undercovergeek]

ive got to put my hand up and say i havent seen one, unless it was built after i started

[tgb]

How long is the tutorial?

More or less an hour, depending on your speed.  It's a separate item on the main menu, so skippable, but I do recommend going through it

[Gusington]

I definitely will, thanks tgb.

Does this actually have a lot of content?  Or is it another AOW3?  Looks like the latter, from a vid I watched.   Been putting it off because due to doubts about the depth of it.

[undercovergeek]

far more scope, even if it was endless space with dragons (which it aint) it would be infinitely deeper that AOW III

I don't know what you mean by "a lot of content", but if AoW is 20% empire building and 80% combat, this is the opposite.  Here's a pretty good preview someone wrote up:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/c27u9hgzcir1bcj/Endless%20Legend%20Early%20Impressions.pdf?dl=0

I haven't played much but from what I have read,
It is very deep. Haven't seen anyone complain that it lacked depth (like many did in AOW3)

Doesn't tequila do the same thing?
