Localizing it for the french could be tough. Not only do you have to work on the translation, but you also have to change the mechanics so that it's the people in the back being attacked during a retreat..... :twisted:

Har har.

The developers haven't given any definite answer as to when, or if, the game would be localized to some other language.

This is yet another business / resource question. How much better would the game sell with EFGIS translations? Would it make sense to do the work to make the game translateable, and then outsource the translations? After that, one might wonder if CJK translations would increase sales (probably more than EFGIS, but they also require more work, depending on what kind of font system is in use).. etc.

Or would it make more sense to put the work into additional content, expansion pack, sequel, or something else..

Depending on how the game has been made, the effort to make it localizable ranges from somewhere between irritating chore to downright nightmare.
