Normally we get one big update each year, for the last few years it's arrived in November. This year we got MCC already and given the amount of work they have put into the game in the last year it would be unreasonable to expect another big update this November. They could have just said "We have given them MCC let's skip Nov this year", instead they roll up their sleeves to provide us with something for Nov. Now they could have provided us with barrack upgrades for the same effect but for the art dept at least this would have meant 600% more work. They would have also put themselves in the position of facing demands of the same upgrades being made to all other buildings.
