Damn, my choice (Indiv. Combat) came in LAST.  Granted there's been a lot of dev log stuff about that lately.

individual combat is interesting, but let's face it, toady has been talking about individual combat a lot since that is what he has been coding this month.  mega beasts are cool, but sorta spoilerish, granted the nonspoiler stuff on mega beasts is still pretty cool.  this leaves sieges, which is how i chose sieges, i am sure something similar is how it became number one by a landslide.  when i was picking at first i couldn't decide between mega beasts and sieges until i realized that a decent amount would be spoiler type stuff, it will be a pretty good topic when 41 gets released in december/january.

The problem is that for some reason I don't think much will be said about Sieges other then technical problems.

I think he actually sounded pretty enthused about siege towers etc. last time that came up.  But yeah, pathfinding issues are inherent to sieges.

I do wonder if he will bring up making Constructions destructable without special conditions.

What he said. I'm also shocked megabeasts didn't win, seemed to be a lot of people gung-ho about that.
