I must ask, why doesn't AoF have the map marketplace like AoS? Might make adding new maps easier, and provide a reason to spend gems when players have the whole upgrade tree.

it has a reason, since there are phases of an ao* game lifetime:
- pre-market phase - where we need players to make publishable campaigns. (AOF/AOW)
- post market phase - where we have enough built in maps/campaigns so we open the market for creativity (AOS)

Do we need more campaings for AoF? Its a lot of them after my three campaings,honor,merchant live and pirating lords (sorry if I skip some campaings) get published thought.

i can check, it needs to be in balance with the upgrades (you need to be able to buy all upgrades from campaigns)

In my opinion there arent enough campaigns, and because of unit balancing some maps became virtually impossible/too easy

For example:

Cataclysm:Valthaya Rising

Map 1:Impossible to get 3 or 2 stars because shelters can shoot fireballs

Libery

Map 2:Impossibke to lose also because shelters can fire fireballs

But no worries im workimg on more campaigns

So about how many campaigns do we need to open the market?

we need to have Alexander consider we have the game "ready" so stopping the 2week votes and only 1 vote per month will come (so no many new units come anymore)

that time we can open market since the "unit increase" will not require much more maps.

We still have many units and techs that should be implemented imho. 2 weeks is already difficult having more races. Also when we will implement dwarves and scalefolk the need for gems will rise again.

Yeah, and I must admit it is hard to earn gems from the campaigns in AoF. I'm more than willing to pay for the development of this game, but many people aren't. I think the constant flow of new units is definitely necessary too. Once dwarves and scalefolk are added, gems will probably be in short supply, so I can certainly understand not wanting people to pay for maps.

yes, so it is far from now.

I can still regularly supply you with campaigns if you want to

thanks!
