Time to focus on the silver lining
The excelsior bug has been fixed.
Generals and quartermasters stay ready for elite troops even if emptied.
The send army dialog does not keep emptying itself whilst trying to select generals.
Whilst BB have admitted that the game is not fully playable, at least the Mac and Linux players can get in and do as much as the Windows players can, so they are no longer disadvantaged.
The developers no longer have to worry about code being compatible with both the flash client and Unity versions, and they are now all focused on resolving the problems that we have.
Whilst I would, of course, prefer the game to be fully playable, let's remember that the developers are doing all they can to bring that about. Any mistakes made on the road from Flash back to browser are more likely the fault of BB management than the developers.
This is a long-term game, and many of us have been here for years. Surely we can potter around doing basic island maintenance for a little while whilst BB works on the game. It is an ideal time to do some building upgrades!
