The intended release date is approximately 3 months after the release of MTW 2, so there is still quite a while to go. This is certainly a large task by any means, however it will be a labour of love, and something I have wanted to lead and design since RTW first came about.......I am under no illusions that this will be easy.
At this stage I do not have my own website, I will however approach TW Center and ask for a slot in the Hosted Community Projects so that this has a home for the time being. If anyone has not been involved in a mod before or if you are finishing one in the next few months, you can show expressions of interest in a PM to me.
So in closing, if kilts, armour, swords, rain, fog, banners and Scottish Clan History is your forte, welcome to Medieval Scotland.
