Hittite Empire was pretty dead by our timeframe, also their complete empire is out of our current map. (Not sure if the map will be expanded yet.) Nonetheless, thank you for the suggestion.

Yup, the Hittite empire was gone for good by the IX century BC, but the "Neo-Hittites" are another fact.
Simply put, they were aramean and anatolian who took the Hittite cities, intermingling with the local population, and taking hittite technologies, language and (probably, I don't remember really good) Hittites scripture.

The Hittite Empire crumbled by the XIII-XII century BC, but these "Neo"-Hittite rised to power in the XI-X century, binding themselves in a confederation of city states (roughly beetween Phrygia and Phoenicia) that survived past the VIII century.

I think they're probably still in the planning stage...

No, we are not in the planning stage. But as it happens, most of the team are busy with real life, which naturally is more important than modding, we are not very active for the time being.

Urartu was historically gone during our timeframe, but we will add it for gameplay sake. Hope you understand. Also, it was a country, not a city.

yup, something like this, right?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

city-state of Urartu, subsequently capital of the kingdom of Van
founded around the XII century;around the IX century, capital of a mighty state rivaling Assyria. One and half century later was conquered by the assyrian. Urartu was renowned for the high technology (above all metallurgic techniques), more developed compared to its southern neighbours.

thanks

You'll see for yourself when it's released.

[The_Judge]

I am looking forward to this mod. Will it use RTW, BI or Alexander? Will it be as historical as ROP, RTRPE or even EB?

[Lord Zaya]

Any updates on the progress you guys have made on this mod?

[Sigma]

Yes, progress updates? One thing I've noticed about mods that kill them quickly is texture/modeling of units and coding. I hope you guys have a handle on those things.

It seems we are going to be active again. Check the "Aaaaand we're live!" thread.
