As of January 7th, 2013
Amazons:Total War 7.0 Beta has been released
As of December 9th, 2012
Game Saving Bug in 6.0K has been corrected in 7.0 Beta
Edited Custom Battle so the battles are in the correct coordinates in 7.0 Beta
Completed Far East Celt Faction relocation and transformation.
Completed adding wagon units to Libyan Amazons, Thyssa Amazons, and Western Celt.
Completed Wagon Units Animation and fighting tactics
Armen and Thyssa Amazon factions are now hordable
Removed auto-gen scripts features in 7.0 Beta for now because it was deemed not straight forward enough to the users
Completed new Far East Celt units animations and skins.
Completed new mod script.
Completed new rebel units.
Added first path of Area Denial weapon, first of such on any RTW mod.
As of November 25th, 2012
Here are what the mod team have done.
1. Integrated the extended map with Amazon Culture and campaigning.
It is now completely playable.
2. R&D on Campaign Planner utility software and multiple campaign menu options.
We are still exploring and not sure of the final options are going to be.
3. Since this mod is more about Equestrian Matriarchal society, we moved the faction Numidia to the East and either going to renamed it as Central Asian Yuezhi (月氏) people or the Hindu Paurava (पौरव) kingdom, and I am still waiting for the after action reports and recommendations. Both people in these locations are Caucasians (yes, some with very dark skins because of melanin) and share close DNA's with modern day Europeans.
4. Introduce wagon warfare into Amazon Total War, since so many historical record have described battles fought with wagons, particularly significant is the Battle of Catalaunian Plains (451AD) or Sino-Hunnish Battle of Mobei (119 BC), both battle changed history and in both battles the laager (or wagon fort) played significant part in the battle. While the new wagon units for both rebel and playable faction won't be like wagon fort (either laager or tabor), the mod team is trying to make the war carts play far more important role in Amazon battles.
5. working on RS II battle map environment.
release is around Christmas of 2012 or New year of 2013.
