Why aren't the GOTM using the Conquest expansion? NT

For a couple of reasons:

Firstly, there is no point in running a competition that we are not geared-up to support. We have been making great improvements in the basic things like getting the results out in a timely manner, and if we start on conquests now, then we will most likely slip back to the problem with results taking weeks....

Secondly, the bugs in Conquests, and the major rule changes that have been implimented with the successive patches mean that a tournament format for conquests is difficult. We will most likely only support v1.22f, but people playing succession games etc in 1.18f can't (at the moment) reliably patch to 1.22f, or they won't be able to reload their succession games...

But we will move to conquests, have patience.

Is 1.22 already an f = final version? I really hope not!

I believe that it means final(ised) version as opposed to a beta version

Yes, that's what I thought. But I never quite understood the last full release number they brought out for the Mac - 1.21g. I guess when you've already produced a buggy 'f(final)' then 'g(etting there?)' was the only way to go . Ah well, that's water under the bridge now. Mac players have been running 1.29b for over a year now, waiting for 1.29f. P'raps 'b' actually means 'better', not 'beta' .
