If you are not affected by the asset library bug and do not need the terrain plugin there is no need to upgrade to Godot 3.0.4. We're planning for a larger 3.0.5

For example, you can make the same goblin (well, moblin) fort play entirely differently by placing it in ways that interact with the terrain around it. Playing with terrain is a relatively inexpensive way to stretch content, since you have to make terrain anyway. You need to look for ways to stretch the content inexpensively.

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).
