The point of an alpha isn't to get the community to all just be able to play early or to 'get to play with the new joys'.

The point of an alpha is to have a relatively small number of players essentially chip in to offer balance insights without releasing the game for general distribution.

Letting everyone is in just early access, not an alpha build. We know what they're testing, just not the specific details. Which is pretty much common practice for any game dev company ever. I don't know why Relic gets so much flack for it.

The new faction is not coming out on May the 5th. But some people are getting to help contribute to balance and bug testing because Relic lacks the manpower and breadth of employees to do their own testing on the level needed for this kind of product.



Being a part of an alpha comes with the expectation that you are actively working to bug test, stress test and otherwise contribute to development. Of course not everyone does, but that's the intention behind it.

It's a very light part time job, but rather than get paid you get to see content earlier than normal.

If anybody thinks they 'should' have been in or it's somehow 'unfair' they're not they're a self entitled piece of pudding in the garden.

I've booked a day off work just to dive in properly.

I'm taking this seriously, I promise you.

An allied army that has a late game & long range focus would go a loooong way to balancing 4v4's, IMO.

CAS not withstanding.

Things I have done:

Booked the 6th off work.

Best decision 2015.

The brits, AFAIK, would be one of the few armies available in the war Relic can legitimately use body armour for!

Not a stock unit, but if we get a commander based around the single unit that got almost all of the bloody stuff we could have two infantry units that have an armour value rather than just one.
