A Great Work is Approaching Release

**Marcus Tullius Cicero** · December 10, 2011, 11:55 AM

@ The developers behind DotS,

Your work is the sole reason I log into twcenter and has been for the past few years, that is how eagerly I anticipate its release and look forward to playing Kingdoms again!

Sincere thanks for all of your hard work.

Yeeeessss!!!!

Not to be a spoilsport, but I am honestly surprised... TWC is a hotbed of great mods and although DotS is exceptional it is not the only reason for 1000s of members, I suggest that you lot don't take the time to explore our forum and are therefore missing out on what is an internet treasure for no less than a 100,000+ active persons since 2003, and home to monumental mods of more than the Total War series.

True, but not everyone has enough time to go through all the millions of other mods about and try/follow them. I was introduced to SS by a friend because it is a big improvement over vanilla; I then heard about DOTS about a year ago, by pure chance, and havn't played medII (including its mods) since then because what DOTS is (or will be) is all I have been wanting from a mod, playing SS or vanilla doesn't seem worth my time since DOTS is so near release (fingers crossed

). There may be other contenders for the perfect medII mod (for me) about in other unexplored areas of TWC but I doubt it considering it seems to tick all my "desired playstyle" boxes.

Despite all the other active areas of TWC (debating/general total war discussions) what I'm sure draws the most crowds is the modding; and the effort that a few people make "for the greater good". Besides I'm a one mod kind of man.

Fair enough, nice input

For the era I agree with you ALTHOUGH you must try Europa Barbarorum II when its out... it will tick all you boxes

Me too. I've played so many other mods for Medieval II, but I've been waiting for this one since shortly after it was first announced. Can't wait to finally play it!

The DotS preview video was mindblowing..

I'm really excited about this mod.. It's a piece of art.. It's really nice to see a big community of modders, wich spent their time so we all can enjoy a better and better game experience.

Got to be the most expected release of the year !

I can just thank you all, guys !

So time is about to come to forge a real empire after great challenges and lives of many heroes. Video preview has really an exciting touch. Due to forts it seems like a real empire. Surely waiting eagerly.

Sorry Stainless Steel but I think I've just found my new favourite mod!

I honestly cannot wait for this, I'm just hoping that as well as being able to build other religious buildings which do not match your own factions, that Heathenism is an option

barthigi,

You can always have more than one love, SS is my first love, but I can always find a place for another.

Obi Wan Asterix,

You do posts here I can understand

, but in the Curia you talk in riddles my good man, anyways good thread+rep

**Megasalexandros** · December 14, 2011, 02:28 PM

Iam waiting so many years for this mod and for Europa barbarorum 2 that i hope ,really hope that when they come out they will worth my waiting just like Roma surrectum did.
Hopefully that thread suggests that the mod is weeks or even days from release, i hope i will not be proven wrong!

**G-Megas-Doux** · December 14, 2011, 03:45 PM

I hope this comes out before Crusader Kings II so I can give it the proper attention it deserves. i signed up to twcenter to post about this mod back in 2009 so over two years ago. Keep up the good work I want to enjoy the variety that you bring to the game.

**kingman1337** · December 14, 2011, 06:52 PM

Third Age 3 will be a nice holdover until this mod is released, along with Europa Barbarorum.

**Xtopherus** · December 16, 2011, 08:54 AM

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing i need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
Feudal wars, all night long
Make my wish come true
All i want for Christmas
is Dots!!!!

(I have way too much time on my hands at the mo....) though seriously cant wiat

**kingman1337** · December 16, 2011, 03:14 PM

Brilliant.

**Father Jack** · December 19, 2011, 03:27 AM

It is looking awesome guys. I will be completing a bachelors degree in Medieval History in 6 months time so it is great to see a mod with realism in the making. I particularly love the whole castle/minor town approach, it should make for a really interesting frontier experience, particularly in areas like the Norman Vexin, Northern England, Rhineland, Iberia etc.

**Ares O Chalkothorax** · December 20, 2011, 01:19 AM

I can't wait to burn rome with my heathens norse.berserker rage unleashed

**JohnMilburn666** · December 20, 2011, 08:38 AM

As a massive total war fan and history student at the uni of Kent i'm really looking forward to this. EB was absolutely amazing...hopefully EB II will be out soon. With them doing the ancient world and SD doing the medieval world i dont think i'll leave me room for months.
