Yeah TFM was just 2, for instance. I was going to send them a "pull request" but when I downloaded the code and saw it was basically just rsync into an FTP server to deploy I was pretty surprised!
I guess you could still use git alongside your co-devs and publish from there into BGA, but the default experience does leave much to be desired for collaboration and dev scaling.
Anyways whenever you need more alpha testers I would also be up for it. I've taught the rules of TI to many players, played a few dozen games, and am also a programmer.

As a reminder, no further testers are needed at this time.
When I am ready to add more testers, I plan to post here.

Good thing attention to detail isn't necessary when playtesting...

Just to give a little progress update, some things that are now working:
* All public / secret objectives.
* All basic units besides Infantry II and Fighter II.
* 11 / 16 basic techs.
* 32 / 59 action cards.
* All special map effects (anomalies, wormholes) except gravity rifts, which will be laborious because of manually assigning units.
There are still a bit more than 100 different effects to program for the current feature set, which is why I still do not need more testers right now. Thank you for your patience, everyone.

Pls, if you can, write a blog on Medium or simila on how you built this game. I'd like to see the diagrams to understand the complexity behind it

I might add some testers in January, but please wait to volunteer until I ask -- otherwise your post may get lost.
Quick status: All map effects and general techs are done. This unfortunately took a while with some of the more complex techs. Faction techs and remaining units are the next priorities.
Happy holidays everyone.
