Mainstream support for Windows 7 ends January 13, 2015. After that only security fixes for 5 years. They won't release a major feature couple months before support for the OS ends.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="3" id="3217003"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 2I'm sure they had a good reason for it. I believe the reason is when the game crashes they get a report about the crash via the internet.[/quote] No. Each launch beta downloads fresh xml data from stardock's servers so that numeral changes like unit cost etc. can be changed without releasing a patch.

Elemental is being made by Stardock, not Ironclad. Ironclad said (on these forums) that in a week or so there will be a patch to SOASE + Entrenchment. Also there was information on impulsedriven.net that next SOASE expansion (diplomatic?) is delayed, so they are hard at work. Silence berore a storm, so to speak.
