A Couple of Things

(Screen Grab of You Tube Video of WWII Mod)
I do not have a great deal to report at this time, which is a good thing. Lucky build #13 seems to be very stable, and only some rare edge case/minor issues have cropped up. So I do suspect the time for the end of Early Access draws nigh.
WWII Weasel has been quite prolific with his WWII mod. On Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/EmpireDeluxe/
He provides links to two different sets for play. Also on Reddit he has posted a video of the mod to show some of the different units.
I do not know what AI he was using there, but it was not very aggressive. Even though a mod like this seems built with PvP play in mind because of the number of new unit types, I have definitely enjoyed playing it and learning the units using the Expanding AI player for an explore and conquer game. I would recommend that for those wanting to give it a try and learn the units. This is a ranged fire fest!
On the subject of the AI DLLs, there is definitely more interest in both the AI open source and the World Building source as I have confirmation from a few people that they have been able to build the AI and World Building components for themselves. The information contained in this Steam thread :
https://steamcommunity.com/app/742700/discussions/0/1696043806564552535/
has proven useful to people wanting to build both AI and WB Dlls. Seeing that wall being cracked tells me that hopefully over time we will see some exciting measures in this space, and take advantage of more complex mods like WWII.
So for you C# coders out there, the water is fine, please jump in!

Empire Deluxe Combined Edition is the latest in the classic Empire Series of games, which has spanned almost five decades.
Empire Deluxe is a game about taking cities. Starting with just one, the city enables a commander to produce units. These units in turn can directly attack or support the attack of more cities. Your imperialistic desires are not satisfied until you have taken every city on the map.
Then there is an added complication:
There can be multiple opponents with the same goal. You cannot work with them to capture all of the cities. They don't want to work with you. You must work against them. You spend a good amount of time preventing them from taking your cities, and you try your best to capture their cities.
So come back to the classic 4x strategy wargame that has inspired so many other games!
