Well, I am German and we are notoriously bad at English, but when it comes to the Swedes, they speak a pretty decent English (judging from my 1st hand experience traveling those nordic countries). No, it's definitely NOT the language barrier. How hard can it be to understand what we mean by 'give us back the core features' -- they don't even have to read what we write but rather look back at those older titles and implement what was there before.
And I fully agree -- the 'great sandbaggening' (a term coined by Enders) cannot be too much effort, especially as they reuse assets that exist and just have to place them on the existing maps. For elevation changes, the same is true and even with the worst of level editors should be doable in a pretty short time. And they already SHOWED the rework of Kaleidoscope and Renewal, so, this is was already more or less 'done' more than a month ago. Why this is not out is really hard to explain, even if there would only be one sole developer left working on the game.
