I guess it's because they are popular personnalities. Or perhaps it's a problem within the mod you are using.

Too many people have had this problem, TEW veterans included, so it's definitely counter intuitive. I'm sure It's not the last time we'll have to answer that question. If it's not fixed for full release with alternate ways to release a worker, it's not gamebreaking but this topic deserves to be pinned at the top as this question is being the most asked overall.

After his message from yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if Mister Ryland doesn't tell us the release date until the last moment. In order not have too many people trying to access the website and buy/download the game at the same time.

Once you know where it is, it's quick to access so no big deal. But yeah, there is no logic to put the "release" option well hidden here in contract details. It would have made more sense being able to release a worker directly from the negotiate tab and/or by talking to him.

Yes. It worked in TEW 2016.

<p>After some quick tests on the demo, it seems there's just too many stables for the AI at the start in the C-Verse.</p><p> </p><p> If I remember well, there are 52 active stables at the beginning of the game.</p><p> I deleted all of them before beginning a new game.</p><p> </p><p> After two months spent just observing, there's now 23 stables in the game.

If the first six months were always the same when we start a new game, I wouldn't like it at all.</p>

Talking of notes, I hope you and the team still have those from years ago concerning the never released "ThunderVerse Vice" mod. I didn't forget the hype, even 5 years later.

What have you done ?!? EDIT : False alarm.

Remember the infamous "King of The Road" match between Dustin Rhodes and Blacktop Bully ? Take this match with a really modern twist : instead of being in a caged-off trailer, the two workers are on top of a truck driving high speed on a road. The goal is to throw the other guy off the top.

As a French, it's pretty easy to understand a Quebecois (except for slangs) but I'm pretty sure I couldn't chat with an Acadian/Cajun for 15minutes without decoding.

Every region of Canada in the game should have a different level of "french-canadian" presence in names and language. Quebec -> Ontario/The Maritimes -> Other Regions This would be in line with the popularity spillover of Quebec and the fact that Ontario and The Maritimes are, in my knowledge, Canada's regions where french canadians (or assimilated) are the most presents, after quebec. I don't know if it's possible to do this in the game by modifying the database. But yeah, way more in-game workers spawning in Quebec should speak french even if it's not 100% of them. It's just the opinion of a non-canadian French.

Since we have two more weeks to wait, maybe I'll start a new game in TEW2016 before buying TEW2020 once it's released. Just in order to get back into the swing of things. But I'll surely wait for the release of the Thunderverse mod 2020 before playing TEW2020 full times.

<p>Demo : check the gameworld's state, familiarise myself with the new options/interfaces.</p><p> </p><p> Full Release : "Backyard to global" run. Opening a company day one in game and build from there.</p>

<p>I connect to the forum after months (maybe years ?) because TEW demo is releasing today and the first thing I read is this :</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="jhd1" data-cite="jhd1" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="47493" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Consider it official <img alt=":cool:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> This hypes me much more for TEW2020.
