I finally was able to recover my old Matrix account. Is there any way to merge it with my new account?

Poke a moderator or administrator.

Email inbox is still empty. Guess I'll be hoping for the next wave.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to say if we're in the beta or not.

I assume it's okay?

But if you haven't heard by now, it's likely you're not in the first drop.
I've been beta testing myself for decades.

I'm also not in the beta, but I'm an adult and I can handle it.

Not part of the beta this time (don't have the time that used, especially with 4 kids). Good luck to Elliot, Erik and everyone!

Pretty sure applications are closed. They have such a large pool, they will not need new Beta testers for a whole while.

They must have reopened applications recently because that link didn't work the last time I attempted to use it. No harm trying, the worst they can say is no.

Okay as I just uninstalled the next terrible strategy game
(To make it clear: NOT DW2 ... where this happen
in the last months, have been the games
Imperator Rome, Shadow Empire, AOW:Planetfall, Field of Glory Empires, Imperiums: Greek Wars
... could be that they already fixed that)

where the AI cheated like hell and was playing with different rules than the human player
at NORMAL SETTINGS (that is the key point, normal)

PLEASE DEAR BETA players,

check that AI behavior at normal skill level
if it has to use the same rules as the human player and don't get any buffs.

Doesn't matter , if it is stupid af
THAT COULD BE CHANGED after time and a better one could be coded in the months to come.
But not using the same rules is hardcoded and we will have to life with it forever,
at least that is how it is with all that other dozens of strategy games out there.

Please urge the devs that they deliver a proper AI opponent ...

THANK you
and have fun !

Totally agree with that, an AI with different rules and cheating have nothing to enjoyable, and I prefer an AI stupid.
