Just a small patch:
The AI will now contest the player's full R&D rush strategies, and you will probably no longer be able to win all technology races with this strategy.
The delay between clicking on a country on the map and opening the country panel has been reduced.
What's next?
Well, the core game (USA vs USSR between 1949 and 1989) is almost done.
I see no reason to make players wait until September to play it. I will probably take a month to polish the current version, then open Early Access in April.
That will give us 6 months to work on cool features like:
-Improved multiplayer
-Editor tools
-More content and paths for the USSR
-Etc...
Anyway, I plan to keep updating this game even after the final release, so concepts like "early access" or "final release" aren’t that relevant...
(For those of you asking about new countries, France and China are planned as DLC.)
Have fun!
