I didn't ask "when" but 'WHAT".
Are you really kidding us ? What is that team ?
You don't know what is next, when it's coming, and you dare tell me that it's NOT SHEDULED ?????? WHAT ? you don't think that there is a BIG problem ? We got the EA 4 1 AND THE EA 5 IS NOT SHEDULED ? (So may be june, july, septembre, we don't know ....)
It's really easy now to understand how they can be slow (more than 2 month late). They don't know what is next. LOL
SO when you gave us the first roadmap that was just a joke. You just did it to earn money. And we will not get a new one, never, isn't it ?
Please, just be honest, the final it's even not plan for 2018 ?

This is a brief overview of what you can expect from the coming bugfix patch. It will be ready for launch next week.
More crashes have been solved. The process of finding and selecting a plot for your new building has been improved and there are bug fixes and enhancements for AI-controlled businesses (your own businesses and the businesses of AI dynasties). As a result, your opponents are more active in economic matters now. We will further improve economy AI.
On top of this, a lot of UI elements have been worked over and UI bugs were fixed. For example, using the mouse wheel to zoom the area map should no more cause the world camera to zoom as well. Also, the position of texts in UI menus and tooltips was fixed. Last but not least, 3D models, textures and animations were fixed, adjusted and/or added.
We'll post the full list of bug fixes as soon as the patch goes live next week.

Important Message
This patch includes a lot of bug fixes and UI changes as well as enhanced performance and the new scenario map "Barony of Birmingham".
If you realize rapid camera movement due to enhanced performance, there are two ways to overcome this problem: 1) change the camera speed in the options menu or 2) hold down the “shift” key while moving the camera with keyboard or mouse wheel.
Transport items such as bags and carts are no more automatically equipped when you drop them into a character’s inventory. As a result, these items can now be transported like all other goods. You can equip characters with bags, hand carts or horse carts when you open the “equipment panel” via the arrow symbol top right of the production menu or the market menu.
After installing the latest patch, your old saved games will possibly no longer be shown in the menu due to the reason that the game recognizes them as “incompatible”.
All your feedback is appreciated! Please provide us with as many details as possible as this will help shorten bug fixing times. Relevant saved games help us while reproducing bugs, so please add them to a Redmine ticket.
Many thanks!

If you realize rapid camera movement due to enhanced performance, there are two ways to overcome this problem: 1) change the camera speed in the options menu or 2) hold down the “shift” key while moving the camera with keyboard or mouse wheel.
Transport items such as bags and carts are no more automatically equipped when you drop them into a character’s inventory. As a result, these items can now be transported like all other goods. You can equip characters with bags, hand carts or horse carts when you open the “equipment panel” via the arrow symbol top right of the production menu or the market menu.
After installing the latest patch, your old saved games will possibly no longer be shown in the menu due to the reason that the game recognizes them as “incompatible”.
All your feedback is appreciated! Please provide us with as many details as possible as this will help shorten bug fixing times. Relevant saved games help us while reproducing bugs, so please add them to a Redmine ticket.
Many thanks!

Patch notes for Version: EA 0.5.0 on June 5th, 2018
New Feature
- We implemented a new camera system that allows you to quickly zoom to points of interest by zooming where the mouse cursor is pointed to. Additionally, the camera is rotating around a focus point, similar to classic RTS cameras. Now it should be more comfortable for you to switch between close-up investigations and getting back a nice overview.
- As tastes are different, we provide you with an additional camera mode: the free camera! This mode allows you to freely rotate the camera on all axes.
- You will be able to switch between the two camera modes via a button above the area map button.
- To avoid creating the feeling of being stuck in the floor we added another smoothing feature to the camera. Now, the closer you get to the terrain the more the camera is inclining, similar to how it was done in The Guild 2.
- The new camera system is now also independent from the frame rate, so frame rate drops should be less recognizable.
Fixes
- One of the major problems with the UI was tackled: some areas of the user interface, where invisible/disabled elements were located, were catching mouse input which lead to several bugs (e.g. characters couldn't be sent to locations on the edge of the view). A lot of changes have been done to the system, so now you should be able to click through UI elements that are hidden.
- Another issue that was related to it is probably known by everybody too well: if the mouse-wheel was used to scroll in a window (e.g. the market menu), the game camera was also zooming. This shouldn't happen anymore due to our refactoring. Though if you want, you can move the cursor out of a window and be able to zoom.
- Camera fixes: we added a very short delay window when you are trying to pan the camera with the right mouse button. This should fix the issue that if you wanted to move the character the camera was moved instead. Also, moving the cursor to the edge of the screen now pans the camera much smoother.
- The process of loading a scenario map or a saved game now ends after the scenario is finally initialized and it is faster than before. The introductive narration and camera flight at the start of scenario maps will be reworked in one of the coming patches.
- Beside dozens of minor bug fixes, we as well solved a large number of bugs with negative influence on the performance - the performance will still be one of our main focuses in question of bug fixes in the next patches!
Art
- To further tackle the performance issues additional level-of-details are created and added for buildings and props. You should barely be able to spot the difference but at a certain distance the number of polygons per building is reduced. The following models have already been changed:
- all 4 farmers houses
- smithy level 1 and 2
- We took your feedback about the Depth of Field (distance blur) effect in the world view seriously and decided to change it. We are aware that shadow glitches are more prominent now and will remedy that in a future path. The field of view is clearer now and we think it fits much better than it was before.
Known issues
By refactoring the input system of the UI a small issue was introduced: in some cases if you are hovering a character portrait with the mouse pointer while another character is selected, the camera will focus on that character in the game world. We are currently on it to fix that.
Important Message
After installing the latest patch, your old saved games will possibly no longer be shown in the menu due to the reason that the game recognizes them as "incompatible". If you have problems with loading or saving, then we recommend deleting all files from the folder named "Games", where all of your saved games are stored.
It is possible that some of the issues that you encounter but other players not, are causes by missing or corrupt files. In this case it may help if you do the following: right click "The Guild 3" in your library and then Properties - "More" -> Manage Installation - Verify / repair
What we plan to do for the next patch...
- The basic character controls and management of all characters (incl. employees) in the dynasty: right now, we see that there are issues to keep an overview on the location of your characters and whether they have something to do or not. We want to introduce an easy access to the employees in your businesses and we will also introduce a feature that allows you to monitor and switch between your idling characters.
- The general controls and feedback related to objects in the game world: right now, the feedback related to what can be selected and what can't is not enough. We want to introduce feedback directly on the objects in the 3D world so it's easier to see what can be interacted with.
- The occlusion issues with characters in the world: currently the vegetation and general big structures are easily occluding characters. We are currently working on a system that increases the transparency of occluding buildings and props (i.e. trees). To avoid any bigger impact on the performance we may introduce an option in the options menu, which allows you to decide whether you want to use the feature or not.
- More level-of-details: for possibly another 20 buildings the level-of-details will be done. This way the performance should also get better with every version.
- More bug fixes.
A brief outlook...
In the near future we plan to jump on the topics "title and progression system" (more requirements for higher titles than just xp) and "better visualization of dynasty characters, employees and buildings" (with the dynastie's colors and/or crests) and "better visualization of employees" (with specific character models), so it will be easier to differentiate important characters and buildings from non-dynasty characters.

Don't misunderstand what I'm going to say. The EA 4 was very nice, even if too slow (for me) and this last is not bad for an EA 4 15.
But, I really don't know what can I reply. That is THE EA 5 ? A CAM ?
How dare you say that you listen OUR feedback ?
Because if the Community really asked you that (and if you have a proof please give it) as MAIN feature it's time to stop to listen.
And you know what ? The stupid dude that I'm, checked what you plan (I told me "OK he is kidding right now, but what will be the next patch ? Obviously after 5 month hunting bug in the forest, and after this good joke, that should be great") and I prefer to don't talk about it.
I like golems they are funny with all their bugs but you don't think that you forget Somethings ? 1 or 2 MAJOR features ? (I don't excpect a reply, no worry).
