Well, hello there.

Jeff here to give a brief wrap-up of the Infernal and
Oblivion CID and to talk about what’s coming next in future CIDs.

At the time of this writing, the Oblivion CID ended not too
long ago, and the Infernal CID has been concluded for over a month. We had a
lot of content to get through in very little time, but the community really
pulled together and jammed out a number of playtest games, providing a ton of
feedback. In fact, the final week of the Oblivion feedback had one of the
highest responses of any CID to date, which gave us a lot of awesome data to
use as we continue internal playtesting and finalizing the model rules.

So, Infernals and Oblivion CIDs are now concluded, and those
rules are undergoing internal review. The big question is: what now?

Well, depending on when this Insider gets published, the
Steamroller CID is either imminently approaching or is even already here!

But what about after the Steamroller CID, then?

Actually, we’re taking a small break.

Infernals and the Oblivion releases are going to last us
quite a while. And by quite a while, I mean through this year and perhaps into
the beginning of next year.

So, is CID completely done until next year? No, no. Don’t
worry. We still have some goals on our plate for WARMACHINE & HORDES, and
that means we have CIDs to accompany them. We’re not prepared to discuss the
details of those yet, but they are coming…eventually.

What this really
means, more concisely, is that there is likely to be a couple-month-long break
between now and the next CID. This will let the game and the meta surrounding
it develop and settle a bit before we get back into the swing of CID cycles. We
feel this is the perfect time to let people take a breath and just enjoy the
models they have without constantly looking to the horizon to “see what is
coming out next.”

I figured the best way to close this Insider is by providing
a handy breakdown of the above in an easily digestible list.  As always, any of these things are subject to
change.

1. Infernal and Oblivion releases are scheduled to
   come out over the course of this year;
2. We are currently developing the releases that
   will follow Infernals and Oblivion;
3. Future WARMACHINE & HORDES releases will
   feature CIDs as normal;
4. There is no public timetable for when the CID
   for those future releases will occur, but it will likely be a couple months at
   least;
5. The development team will be keeping a close eye
   on the current and future meta of WARMACHINE & HORDES and reserves the
   right to provide dynamic updates to correct aberrations from warping the game.
