Hello Subterfuge community. I'm a big fan of RTS games and I gotta say that this game lives up to my expectations. Its fantastic for a free game. Sure there's a 10$ purchase for full enjoyment of its potential but I believe its very worth it. However that's not what I wanted to discuss. I love the game how it is. However there's one thing that keeps nudging at my curiosity. Will there be updates!? I'm not talking about bug fixes... Compatibility issues... Freezes... Or anything like that. I'm talking about actual content updates. Perhaps Tournaments? Or game modes? I know its too early to tell and perhaps I'm just asking too much of an already great game but I'm just curious as to how far this game will go. Apart from all this, can we get players that DON'T resign from the start!!? Its annoying AF! Amirite?

Hi itzchewy, Glad to hear you're loving the game as much as I am.
The devs have mentioned that one of the things they would like to include in the future is tournament. It's certainly something I would enjoy. They have also mentioned different ways in which you can customise your games when you host it. This includes things such as game speed, player anonymity and factory/generator numbers.
And regarding the people resigning early in the game. If you join a rated game and half the players resign then you are guaranteed to have a ratings increase. After a few games of this happening your rating should be above 1250 at a minimum. Next time you go to start a rated game you can join (or host) a game that has a minimum rating requirement of 1201. If people are prone to retiring then their rating will be under 1200 and you are eliminating them from the equation.
You can also host a game and when somebody joins you can look at their profile and see if they have a history of quitting. Although, you can only kick them if the game hasn't started already.
