Hello,

We are very pleased with the reception Crusade has received so far! Glad you like it!

We have also received a ton of feedback and, unfortunately, cases where the data from the base game crept into Crusade.

*Only expansive civilizations will try the colony rush strategy now. [hattip: GalCiv forums]
