I am very concerned that this Steam release will not include the hundreds upon hundreds of critical gameplay bug fixes and AI improvements (not to mention the many new features--pop 1000, mirror civs, MBQ, music playlist, better widescreen than steam release, scenario editor improvements, etc) that UserPatch will bring to this community. Moreover, I really enjoy AoFE with its new civs and much needed balance changes!! I would encourage each and every one of you to post similar concerns at: http://forums.ageofempiresonline.com/fo ... spx#350368.
Competing products are divisive for a community. On one hand, we will have free Userpatch (1.1) in all its glory with ability to play Forgotten Empires.... On the other hand, we will have a $20 graphics facelift version w/ the support and matchmaking abilities of Steam. These should not be mutually exclusive options!! I really hope the Steam version includes ALL of the fixes in UserPatch and allows for mods such as AoFE. Otherwise, I for one, will have a very difficult time making the move to Steam. UserPatch is flipping amazing...
