I am glad to finally be in the position to offer you an update on the ongoing negotiations even if I can’t get into specifics today.
As you know we have been speaking to both King's counsel and to King executives directly over the last few months. While we thought there was general agreement after speaking directly with those involved in King’s leadership, I can say that any agreement we may have received was pretty far off base from what we as developers and, most importantly, the community would be comfortable with. I know this may be extremely disappointing to those who looked forward to reconnecting with elements of the previous Battle Nations.
We have proposed what we would consider our maximum concession to King’s team and have asked them to kindly respond shortly.
If we are unable to reach a deal that is favorable to the community, I am confident based on the growing team of talent we have assembled (including former artists and developers of the long defunct previous Battle Nations) that you will all be satisfied with what we are able to release in the New Horizons build. Additionally, we will be resuming our trademark proceedings.
Before any news comes out, I just want to say that we have tried our absolute best these last few months to carve out a beneficial deal and I am incredibly thankful to our team, our donors, and the community for their continued support in such a challenging time for the project. Without you all, we would not have the positioning that we need to choose what’s best for the community long term. For that we are immensely grateful.
Stay tuned for more news soon…

我很高兴终于能够向大家提供谈判的最新情况，尽管目前还无法透露具体细节。
如大家所知，在过去的几个月里，我们（BNR团队，下同）一直在直接与 King 的律师和 King 的高管进行交谈。 虽然我们认为在与 King 方交谈后达成了普遍共识，但我可以说，我们可能达成的协议会与我们团队曾经的开发工作相差甚远，不过最重要的是，（达成协议）这一点会让玩家们感到满意。 我知道，这对于那些期待原汁原味旧版本Battle Nations 的人来说可能会非常失望。
我们已经提出了我们认为对 King 团队的最大让步，并要求他们尽快做出回应。
如果我们无法达成对玩家们有利的协议，我相信基于我们聚集的不断壮大的人才团队（包括前游戏画师和早已解散的前 Battle Nations 的开发者），（你们都会对什么感到满意）我们能够在 New Horizons 版本中发布。 此外，我们将着手恢复我们的商标申诉。
在发布任何消息之前，我只想说，在过去的几个月里，我们已经竭尽全力达成了一项有利的协议，我非常感谢我们的团队、我们的捐助者和玩家在这样一个富有挑战性的时间点对项目的持续支持。 没有你们所有人，我们就不会有选择长期对玩家最有利的定位。 为此，我们非常感激。
