Après plusieurs mois de phase bêta, une importante mise à jour est arrivée en début de semaine pour ce 4X offrant un très réussi bac à sable stratégico-tactique sur le thème du berceau méditerranéen. Patch 1.10 qui améliore de nombreux mécanismes et propose un nouveau système pour représenter la Diplomatie, approfondissant ainsi un peu plus les choix et subtilités offertes aux joueurs.
Au passage sachez que Field of Glory II est lui passé récemment en version 1.5.25, patch qui améliore quelques aspects du gameplay, des unités ou encore de l’interface (voir ce changelog).
