At this point there's a better chance of Half life 3 releasing before this mod sadly. I remember being excited for it way back in 2008. We will have had three full Total war released since then next week.
If the Mod is dead, why not make the BETA publically available?
I don't think at all the mod is dead. Although the community activity has decreased greatly since the copyright issue, I am pretty sure that DotS team is still working on this great project slowly but continuously. :)
I remember joining this forum just because of this mod, now I'm sad to say that I'm not sure I'll even play it if it is ever released, it may be awesome, but I just don't enjoy playing the old TW games anymore.
I also dont think this mod is dead but we need more information from Hross or someone else about the progress or at least some pics to clear the things a bit...Btw ,now that Rome 2 is up,we surely wont see Dots soon.
None of the team are playing Rome 2...in fact we haven't played games in a long time due to all free time going to modding.
Criticisms about waiting years are fair... but we have always been working our arses off, so what more can we do? We always needed more modders and to not have people getting bored after two weeks and leaving us with unfinished tasks that one of the mod leaders had to then switch to.
Resurrection has just had his child born a few days ago, I haven't been able to talk to him about the files or the future because of the pregnancy and I will give him a few more weeks until I trouble him. Clearly games are not a priority for him right now.
I have the luxury of still being an idealist when it comes to this game, I am trying to find ways I can release some kind of beta or the files or whatever, regardless of whether I keep working on it. There are really only a few tasks left before a final alpha really, that's what's so tragic. This problem is that the tasks are going to take time, but all of them have been started. Once the tasks would be done we would have a very buggy game that would be prone to crashes however, so it would be nigh on unplayable anyway until someone with overall technical knowledge could correct the coding errors that inevitably occur and create any potential crash. It's all pretty frustrating.

you dont have to hurry, take your time. if you want play rome 2, or some other game. it wont be okay from us, people who wait this mod to be upsat on your team for not finishing this mod yet. we will wait, as long as we need, because you dont do this for some money, you do this for free to all us. i would realy help you, the fact is that i dont know nothing about moding although i play total war since first rome.
@Hross/Hengest: Great to read an official statement in here !! Cheers!
no he is a gayprince of the empire of gays
I've no idea what you are talking about Ed.
Ignore him, Ed's just on his own drugs again
will you still be releasing the public version of this mod even though it may be buggy??
is it dead?
This mod is not dead, just slow in progress due to number of active team members.. So, Guyverlance dont keep asking if its dead or not dead just to annoy team members and real fans of Dots, be a good boy and post some meaningfull things here or be usefull and help team member to speed the mods proggression. And Guyverance have a good day.
