Maps that have resources in the matchmaking system. Everything else is a temporary issue or not that important.

looking bleak ngl, but 24 hours come and 24 hours go, and there's reason to think things will happen.

This is by far the most important thing to me. Everyone is now effectively playing on EP or something very similar, which is what this community was always hoping to achieve.

One more thing to add is the server-based multiplayer.

DE surely has its flaws to work out, but compared to the unpredictable lag (especially with observers) and the general state of the RE patch I think it stands head and shoulders above the old game already.

1. More new people joining in, thus expanding the community
2. The potential to unite the community under one single "patch"/platform
3. Decks unlocked and a lot of worthless ones got kicked out
4. A ton of great maps
5. A lot of the ESOC 9 balance changes made it into the game

I don't want to repeat stuff, so:

I'm enjoying the QS, even when it's not new at all we never had a functioning QS on EP.
I love some small things, like the copy-deck feature
The art of war is super useful for new players
Simplifying HC, now 1 per civ allows to go random or mirror civ if they want to include them.

I assume you mean copying someone else's deck? Haven't discovered it yet, which is why I'm asking.

When selecting villagers and hovering over a mill or estate, the icon shows you if the maximum amount of villagers are tasked to the building or not. You can quickly discern which of your eco buildings are not at maximum capacity yet.
