*STATE OF THE MOD*

[Falco]

Keep on truckin' guys!

[rohirrimelf]

Take your time and release AE when the team is confident it will work out. This mod might be worth the long wait.
2 fractions is a good start to let the community work out what is lacking for the campaign.

[The Wandering Storyteller]

Keep going, Rome wasn't built in a day

Have to give credit to you guys for slogging on this, most others wouldn't, so it shows your dedication.

If I'm permitted to make a prediction, this mod will be released around Jan-Feb. Not too hopeful, but a somewhat...optimistic guess.

[Scipion1177]

best of luck to you guys, we all hope to see your work one day

[FrontierWolf]

FORWARD....ENGAGE.....RELEASE!

[Martha_Pfahl]

I think the mod will release after the berlin airport "willy brandt" was opened.
I bought the game last year, after the "release" video.
Take your time and marry christmas all, the next decades.

[Kal-El]

Great progress has been made - Not going to promise anything at the moment, but Rome and Carthage are ready for a full complete test.

Some detailed items i am working on the next fews days:
- continued polishing of aor system.
- fixing garrisons for Iberian factions
- Completing Chapter and Victory conditions for other factions not named Rome and Carthage
- completing some missing building icons.
- Complete implementing the work of San Felipe, for barbarian building descriptions.
- Learn/Figure out how to implement dilemmas and minor missions/events

Petelius is working on naval combat to complete this as well.

[Kreissig]

This is great to read guys! I have been lurking this thread for some time, and I also bought Attila only for the mod possibilities.

All the best...

[Nochyan]

If you guys need an extra tester, I'll do my part

[Totalknight]

Just saw the screenshots... man oh man.. the navy looks lit! Anyway we can get aquaduct, Roman Collosiem etc to show on the map in Rome?

Aqueducts already show up on the campaign. Colleseum shouldn't be a problem.

Me too. Wouldn't mind testing Carthage - because their roster is absolutely ********* beautiful. And seeing them besiege Rome? Double awesome.

The first faction I'll play is either Nabetea or Parthia when this is released - would love to see how they play out on the map. Parthia will dominate the world...except it won't be Parthia, it'll be Persia Glory to Ahura Mazda! Strike down those barbarians!

However...if I choose Egypt, then expect Egyptian cities dotted around the map!

Might even save the screenshot as a background wall paper

Can't remember if there's a Persian faction in the mod.

The last screenshot reminded me of a film...like Sinbad or something.

The desert....never forgets.

Great progress!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year to all, and make your predictions. When will it be released? When?????!!!!

I give it Jan 23rd.

If not, then Feb.

Do most of the battle maps have siege escalation and can the naval ships land properly on the beach?

[UMCenturion]

Do most of the battle maps have siege escalation and can the naval ships land properly on the hbeac when you besiege a port city?

Only the custom ones. The majority of settlements are ported from Rome 2 - which are not perfect, but definitely a better feel. The custom ones do have escalation. Once this mod is out and in decent shape, i plan to go strictly to maps and make many more custom maps for the future.

As long as they work then that's the only thing you can do I suppose. I think it'd be worth getting this done and pushing through the campaign. You're close. Get that done. Release. Take a break. Then start doing the fun stuff - test battle maps. That's just my suggestion.

A fun suggestion. Take a cue from W2 when it comes to the Tomb Kings siege maps which will have level 3 tier cities. How about having level 4 cities - with each Egyptian city having four layers? It'd be so fun to see fantasy style Egyptian cities instead of the Greco-Roman Egyptian style one.

But then, it's only fantasy! And a cool suggestion..

However, hearing the custom ones work fine is very good
