Great Preview.

It seems you use the guild-system to represent suburbs and provincial markets?

No they are just buildings. Our guilds are going to be something completely different. Some will be unions between factions, some will be the Hansa league etc

[Theodotos I]

Looks like great work.

[Leatherneck918]

i got a question. when i play this game will their be unlimited things u can do in ur goverment like real life, or will i run dead end with the options i can do in my goverment.

and i got somthing funny to say

when this game comes out men will be screwing domonion of the sword instead of their girlfreinds. people will loose their jobs and go crazzy from this game.

my asummtion is this game is gonna be crowned best game ever created, and will probally be more epic then world of warcraft

I think the glimpse of the buildings we have shown here gives you an idea of the kind of limits and activity of choices you will have in the tech tree. You have options to allow you to adapt. So you will probably destroy buildings and remake them in other options, changing government types etc for different effects.

Nova you might find this thread useful for asking questions

Heey, nice preview...Bohemians and Hussites will have different units? Probably bad question. Im from Czech and I think that it doesnt write pišťaličníci but pišťalníci or Husité s píšťalou (or s ručnicí) - Hussites with pipes (or rifle ). And you have to be faster, because I can not wait Cheers! ;-)

[knight_12]

Epic !!! Great preview and great job so far !

[ALFAJI]

is that map the oficall map

[Hengest]

No, its just something we had in testing. Our map will have this scale-

[Copperknickers II]

Actually it will be a little bigger than that one.

[Lukasenko]

Yea nice hussite units...but I hope that it will be not forgetten units and bohemia army before Hussite revolution...From second half of 13th century ( to 1420 Bohemia had mainly heavy cavalery units and very good knights .....these elite knigts were primary bohemia power in many battles for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kressenbrunn , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_on_the_Marchfeld , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cr%C3%A9cy

Palacky write that in half of 13th century Bohemians had more advancedchivalric culture than germans..

[carth]

wow.. it's.. huge..
great preview. im stunned, really.
it sounds like another game compared to vanilla. this really will be supermod. but i fear the micromanagment will be a little too much. but i will see.
plus rep anyways!

[Constantius]

Wow great preview ,really looking forward to this alot

[Samsonov]

Epic, great, awesome, etc....

However after seeing this I am more afraid than ever before that this will never get finished....

The amount of work to get this done seems staggering, almost too much for a profesionally funded development team working on this full time, let alone the heterogenous group of amateurs spread all over the planet.

I wish you guys all the luck, and would like to play DOTS one day, but based on just this one preview I am afraid you simply took a task too big for your own good. (Hope you don't see this negatively, and I hope you prove me wrong one day, soon.)

The only thing right now that I would agree with you on is the production of units. At the moment with our current unit team, based on the rate of production we won't have a fully customised set of units for each faction for literally years. We need new people to help with that. Apart from that though no I don't agree and I think a beta release within the next year is reasonable.
