Topic: Future of Widelands

We've played this game for some time, added a lot of things, many many Ideas, but as we see Widelands isnt really played often.

• Do we want to make Widelands more open, like is it recommended if we continue to invite a lot of new players or try to reach players by youtube - or do we want to put more Focus on our community that it stays the way it is?

• The other question is if we like to make the game more fit for Multiplayer, which means, reducing time of the Games (instead of 6 hours 2 hours), getting an interesting start, first upgrades earlier to achieve and trying to make an overall balance which makes the game fair (Atlantean mine produces 7 per 1 turn, Barbarian only 1 and a lot of other balance differences listed in here: https://www.widelands.org/forum/topic/4982/?page=1#post-35121. I dont care who implements, but fact is we need some out of them.

If there is someone liking to play a competitive multiplayer, ranked or even interested in playtesting write me a message

Ok, out of your words i guess you mean

• you favor that new players are welcomed : -) so then ill continue to do so, some videos have more than 200 views especially the 1v1 widelands cast on "youtube" - (if there are contrary opinions of course I will delete the widelands videos)

• the 2nd question is also very important and i dont think it should be handled as a joke

A Video is hard to do, when you have no microphone. Indeed i always have to borrow from friend from time to time.
