Has the final version of AE been released yet? If not, any idea when it will be?

I like how both questions can be answered using the one single word sentence!
Not yet no, I have finally finished Rome though, and some videos and such should be coming out soon to showcase the general idea of what we're trying to achieve with the campaign. As for full release, we're having problems with the Assembly Kit due to a recent update and one of the three of us now left working on AE isn't free until Christmas.
As it is now, its pretty much down to me to do what I can. I'll get Rome and Carthage done ASAP, then expand onto Iberia and Greece.

That new DLC for Rome doesn't matter that much. It's all about Ancient Empires and i truly have all the faith into this team. This can be one of the greatest Total War Mods ever, so it aswell needs its time.
Wow, so of all the factions only Rome is finished ? and you're still meddling with the campaign mechanics ?
I didn't know it was that bad, I don't check forum often, but from what I've seen I assumed you guys were putting the finishing touches on it
Well as long as we've got a system that works we can afford up production.

I assume that when the campaign is released people will dance and sing in the streets xD
Nah, don´t stress it, it will take as long as it takes^^
Maybe consider a limited campaign release of just Rome and Carthage?

tempted, yes. And that should be relatively soon

It would at least get rid of the obligatory, bimonthly "when will the mod come out?" thread ^^

At this point I just hope the mod doesn't die or get abandoned like so many other promising mods.
I'm doing everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen.

so we are very grateful to you, petellius
To be honest I would be perfectly happy just to have Rome as a playable faction for the first release and then have the other factions come online as and when they are ready to go, as I would play Rome first anyways.
I'm sure you and some others would be perfectly fine with that, I would be too. However, with public opinion of AE being what it is I am incredibly cautious to release anything that could be perceived as unfinished or lacking after such a long time. I like not being murdered.

I would also be perfectly fine with just having Rome for a while, but it's completely up to you, team!
I have to admit I would also be willing to take Rome. People want to play this mod in any state....just look at all the threads. I understand you want perfection, but if people lose interest, I think all your hard work will be not.
My advice would be to get something out that is at least stable, plus most people play Rome anyways! Lol
Remember "Dominion of the sword"? This has that feel exactly.
Shogun 2, no thanks I will stick with Kingdoms SS.
I think this mod is death !
