On the Nival forum, in the topic "Open Beta - Glitches and Bugs", the first post contains information about what the developers considered a bug in the game... Here is a quote from there:
Gameplay:
...
The size of the battlefield is not final, as well as the number of obstacles.
...
Visuals:
...
The interface is being refined, for example, for duel mode or for construction in cities.
So, how does this align with Elle's words? :rolleyes:
In short, I have the impression that Nival's PR people are completely unaware of the situation and do not coordinate their words with the programmers and game designers...
