is there any discord for Ultimate General: American Revolution, please?

I would also be interested in an update, pretty please

He just needed a vent. More important is the substrate of what happened here: people who are caring about the game are getting frustrated by what was happening. There's no denying that Stranger above cares about UGCW: he bought the game in EA period, and even more, he spent his time writing about his frustration both on Steam and UGCW forums. A patch was announced as not later than 12th Dec, and yet is 20th Dec and there's still almost no official announcement made yet regarding what is going on While there's no common sense customer not knowing the fact that things might get dirty, even on the 12th hour, and an announced patch date might get outdated, customer's very eagerness to get more of what he likes is doing him a disservice: as no new patch date was offered, he's getting back day after day after day with the hope that the patch will come out eventually. His frustration level keep rising until it eventually reaches a point some of the less patient ones are exploding. The developer lesson to be learned here is that if you offered a data, you must stick with it, no matter what. If the hell broke lose and there's no way you can respect it, then you absolutely have to make a public statement offering your apologies for the wrong presented date and offer a new date (eventually multiplied by 2 or even 3, just to make sure) or say that you can not offer any new date until the unforeseen problem is first solved. Publicly appearing at least once a week during this period (best time would be sometime during week's last working day) and offering some update about things were progressing during the passing week would be also something I would strongly advice (and not only during this post outdated patch date, but during the whole development period). Just my two cents.. PS: I myself, being a game developer and perfectly knowing everything above from my own experience, couldn't helped but kept checking a few times a day with the hope the new patch magically appeared and then feel dissapointed by the lack of it, and of official updates about the matter). Imagine how anyone with much less experience and patience might feel about this..
