Matrix Games Forums

Hello everybody! I'm new to this forum, but I'm an old WIF player : I bought my first game (3rd edition) 25 years ago. Shannon and others developers have made great job for MWIF, but there is still a lot of work to do.
First, a little problem : when Germany (for example) take control of a city with a red factory, this one is automatically repaired, even if I've chosen the construction engineers' option. The same thing
for oil resources (but for harbors things are corrects, and they are damaged until repaired). What about that?

And a question : when the game was issued on november 7th, a lot of options (23 exactly) were not working. It was said that people at Matrix were doing their best in order to implement these missing options as soon as possible, by the way of a patch.
Can we expect to see this soon? Some of these options are of little interest, but others add great variety in the game, and I'm rather disappointed not to see their until now in MWIF.
Thanks for your answer.

No timeframe for these have been announced yet. The current priority is bug fixes, NetPlay, MP with more than two players, IIRC The additional optional rules may be included at the same time as the expanded MP and is planned to be completed in 3-4 months. The AI is not planned until much later (11 months+) and will have an additional cost.

Right on the red factories - they should require an engineer if playing with construction engineers. (On the upside, this is quite an unpopular option these days.) Oil resources only require an engineer if playing with that option and they've been destroyed.
