As we enter the last three months of 2016, I'd like to reflect on a post that me and a few others have made.

At various points we've spoke amount new units and new buildings, with players eager for something new and something to shake up the game balance. And frankly, that hasn't happened.

In July of this year, I made this post, and alot of people agreed with me. CoW was entering the crossroads, it could either carry on pushing the limits of a browser game and even possibly develop into a downloadable game (such as LoL) and prove to be a worthy successor and contender to S1914. The general view at the time was that CoW had to make its mind up- become the WW2/Cold war it was setting its self up to be, or stagnate and drift off.

So far, we've had none of that. Since that update we've had one new map, and the crates. THE DAMN CRATES, which happened two weeks before Bytro had to issue, what was in effect, an apology to the community about a lack of communication.

Recently, we had a contest over a new map which could be put into the game. So far, I've heard nothing of it. To make matters worse, the fact that it was a simple 'could' be updated into the game really annoyed me; why make the poll if you're not going to do it?

I became a frontline member about two months ago, and since then I've tested some new features which didn't need testing- including the full screen button. No idea why, but it seems F11 isn't needed anymore.

I said to a friend that paras and marines should be in the game by November, and my prediction doesn't look anymore wrong. The community is crying out for new things and lately the mood in these forums hasn't been a happy one. I'm not sure if its seemed that way for anyone else, but it has for me.

So tell me, how do you think CoW is doing? Do you think its stronger than it was July, or do you think no major changes have been made.
