I'm not a dev and don't quote me on this, but I think 2.0 was initially planned for after Sorcerer King release.

Yeah they did say that somewhere, early next year-ish.

 

My question would be, what the heck will be in it?  And if we were to petition with few things could we get a few fixes/tweaks included from our peasantry wish list ?

SK is the first Elemental game that looks aesthetically nice (in fact it looks very nice). Is it possible to make LH at least a little bit like it? I know that backporting graphics is impossible (I'd be awesome though), but some graphical update would be really appreciated.

Oh, was 2.0 the big diplomacy update? Or was that 1.8? I hope not because 1.8 was just released and contained almost nothing...

Can someone find the Frogboy post where he details what 1.7, 1.8 (and 2.0?) was going to contain?

From what I understand along with a few new features it will mostly be about backporting all the engine improvements and gameplay tweaks from SK to LH. I can't wait for monster ZoC. I have been asking for that since the FE beta. The current system just doesn't work very well.

There hasn't been any mention of backporting gameplay tweaks afaik, only bugfixes. They've said they want FE to go its own way. Unless something is specifically mentioned I wouldn't get my hopes up.

They mentioned monster lair ZoC.

Thanks for the kind words.

Quick status report on LH.

In July we released 1.7.  In August we released an update to that which was largely a bug fix.

Right now we're about to announce a new fantasy game in the series but is NOT a replacement to LH (i.e. LH is a 4X empire builder, the new game is an asymetrical 4X).

Once I have a chance we will be updating LH to v2.0 which is scheduled to have these features:

New tactical battle AI
Updated unit design (we're going to do more with damage types and designing units to counter)
ZOC for monster lairs
Lots of updates to the monster AI
I don't have an ETA for this as I have to put my time between GalCiv, the new fantasy game, and LH.  But most of what I'm talking about is backporting.

We also have a new DLC I am desperate to get out there that is mostly new tactical battle maps and new random map seeds.

 

Backporting is mentioned. I just bought the DLC packs because of the sale but I'm probably going to wait for 2.0. I enjoyed LH but it never felt like it quite met its potential. But I haven't really played it since launch so I'm hoping once 2.0 comes out with all the DLCs and numerous patches it will feel like a complete new experience. 

If they could backport some of the graphics changes from SK that would be legendary.
