Work on the 3.0 Beta has progressed into the third phase: AI and Modding support.
The main focus is on re-introducing AI to the game, but a lot of reworks have slipped in as well. This work is proceeding faster than I expected, and soon work will be moving on to the fourth phase: combat.
I'm planning on shifting 3.0 out of beta and to general release as soon as I feel 3.0 meets feature parity with 2.6. The major missing features are: diplomacy, combat, and sea travel. Those will likely be added by the end of phase 4.
Until then you can join the 3.0 beta on the bronze age community discord server.
