The Big Questions Thread
As is traditional this is the main thread for your Maelstrom questions, at least while we're still starting out with a fairly small community.
as the community (and this thread) grows, things'll change, but this should always be the first port of call for questions.

1. How involved is terraforming, compared to Perimeter? Are there units devoted to terrain modification?
2. Will there be devoted servers? With Perimeter, online was severely ruined by the terrible service at GameSpy Arcade. 3. Are there plans to support the community with regular patches and additional content?

1: It's more advamced than perimeter
2: Too early to say, really 3: I hope so- certainly as far as patches. I don't know about additional content though. I guess it depends on whether the game takes off.

 1. Terraforming is not the main focus of Maelstrom as with Perimeter but it's still a useful tool, and one that requires a more 'hands on' approach. In Perimeter you simply marked out an area and your drones handled the rest, but with Maelstrom you'll be in control of the constructor's terrain modification beam and can play with it yourself. 2. We're working with Demonware to provide a fully integrated online service, including dedicated servers, match making and an online ranking system. 3. While we'd like to avoid patches sometimes it's inevitable. We're currently working to ensure the game is balanced but sometime things are missed. In this case it's very likely we'd put out a fix. We're also planning to release a version of the editor with the game.

Your spelling is fine For information check out our web coverage thread The Web Coverage Thread. Also watch this space, we're currently working on the official Maelstrom website. This will eventually contain lots of useful info on the game.

It's an RTS game.
