In a recent blog comment, Lar said "June is what we're hoping for", so apparently it is still on track for a May/June release.

I'm eagerly awaiting more videos that show more than 3 seconds of gameplay at a time. There's not even enough action to follow.
Are they still doing the simple "You win"/"You lose" screens? I thought those were only temporary for the early build. No Starcraft style summary which shows units built/lost buildings built/lost, army units lost?

I'm looking at the trailer right now  The win/lose screens are followed up by a summary screen which even has importance as it tells you how many units will be left on the campaign map screen. I know we're late, but we do have a load of stuff coming - if everybody we're seeing over the next three weeks (and the ones we've seen last week) writes about/show what we've been/are showing them, then you're going to be seeing plenty of footage.

Is a joystick support (to pilot the dragon) a feature you intend to put in ?

That new video is amazing.
About Joystick support - if the dragon controls about the same way it does in Divinity 2, the mouse should actually work just fine to pilot it, without you needing to switch back to another controller for the other modes.

I don't see how we could get the RTS working with a controller at this point. You're going to get a lot of hands-on previews over the coming days/weeks as well as some actual gameplay videos and then you'll understand what I mean.

This, sir, is an heresy. You don't use a mouse when flying an aircraft (or a dragon), you use a joystick, for Maxos sake ! May Bellegar strike this impudent person, or change him into a chicken ! (I was more thinking of switching to joystick when going in "dragon mode")

She is the voice actor of Lady Catherine, one of our Generals. According to Henry she is the "Queen of Westbridge".
It would seem that she is going to be a strong force for feminist rights if these dialogue sessions are anything to go by. This would align with Larian Studio's desire to imbue Rivellon with modern day issues, in this case civil rights for women.
Her assistance with the war effort better worth the trouble. I can already feel the undead and dwarf counselors breathing down my neck over wanting to legalize gay marriage and introduce homosexuals into my military, even months before the game's release. If I also have to deal with her demands I may have to go to war with the bonies and shorties at this rate!

I think I'll approach the Undead (and to a lesser extent the Dwarves) the same way I approach the Religious faction in Tropico 4: Forget them. They're useless and their constant whining doesn't help any. I'll throw a church their way when funds allow and I don't have anything useful to build, but that's about it. Translated to Dragon Commander: I think I'm gonna have to do without a lot of Undead support. They may toss out a good idea from time to time that I'll be happy to adopt, of course, but on the whole I'm not in favour of theocratic policies so I doubt we'll see eye-to-eyesocket on many an issue.

What is the voice actress name ? Also do they improvise or is the text pre-written ? She is the voice actor of Lady Catherine, one of our Generals. According to Henry she is the "Queen of Westbridge".

I suppose that makes sense. If the only repercussions to angering the dwarf and undead factions (don't know if I'll have trouble with the lizards) is a few missed cards and resources then one could manageable play the game though with harder difficulties than if one had simply compromised their principles.

I don't know who the voice actress is, but the developers have said they were going to hire professional voice actors and the lines would naturally be scripted. Though I am sure they work out the kinks when the actors are actually reading it (if it sounds funny and etc).

If you tick off a population too much, you can have strikes and uprising in those territories, which will mean a loss of gold and resources you would otherwise get. Leaving additional troops in areas where the population is discontent will prevent that, but that leaves less troops for the front lines.

Oh, right, forgot about that. The devs went over it in a video. Well that makes things harder...

Kickstarter>dev diaries! hope Dragon commander got one too...? though it's feasible to get one after the release since DC is more of an experiment I suppose.
