short progress report

[King Kong]

Hi all,

because some people wanted to know when 4.0 will be released, I wanted to inform you about the current progress.
First of all, I'm sorry for my poor replies in the last days, but I had a lot of things to (unfortuntely not all only modding-related)

I'm really glad that finally the most time consuming project, the new map, is almost finished (~98%).
Personally I think that I'm likely never able to finish my map, because I always find anything that can always be improved further.
Well, overall I think the map will look quite good and I will only have to edit some details...

The new factions are now almost completely included and everything is working really fine, judging from some first tests...
What isn't finished yet, are the unit cards and also the unit descriptions which will need some days probably...

Many smaller and bigger projects (units, mercenaries, slaves, adjusting other mods and more...) are done to greater parts, but will still need some time.

- The last but almost important point is that I need a few days to test the new version...

Unfortuntely I can't make much until next week and also due to the creation of Aragon there is some delay, but I think I can release 4.0 in about 10-15 days...hopefully

Hi KK!!!

Its great to hear these news from you!!! A bit of delay? well I think the new factions and units deserve it.

Maps: Im glad to hear you are editing it, because the 3.2 one I think needs a pair of tweaks in the Iberian Peninsula specially to be made in order for it to be great. (Cause you are making changes also in the Iberian Peninsula right?...)

Unit Cards and Descriptions: I think you have an army of fans that would be glad to help you out with these xD(At least I would). Im talking about the words you put in the description not the editing thing, and you could always make them for yourself if you didn't like them xD. It is up to you to ask us to do some of this, I also recognize that it is your mod and in the end maybe what you want is to try to do it 100% you. Thats great also, just consider this as a further help offer from my part at least.

waiting for the new ones always fun so take your time to make better.

[ME2_junky]

Just to add my two pence here...
Delay it as much as needed, no rush. Thats what I would do.
Reasoning being; slow is smooth, smooth is fast. So if you built it right, you build it once

Why not let us test it for you?

[Mike13531]

[grinninjim]

KK, awesome! I can't wait for 4.0 I have played 3.2 so much it's like a second job... now I will have to rush and finish the 3 campaigns I am playing right now. Just so I am ready to try the new Kievan Rus!
Now all I need to do is figure out the whole signature thing... I'm so busy playing... :-D

[King Kong]

Thanks for the replies and that most of you are patient!


Hi Yuiis,

Unit Cards and Descriptions: I think you have an army of fans that would be glad to help you out with these xD(At least I would).

That's a very nice offer! (btw, sorry for my late response!)
If you have some ideas for any special Aragonese unit descriptions (i.e basque archers or knights of montesa), let me know them please!


Hi Dagda,

Why not let us test it for you?

Actually not a bad idea...
Well, if someone want seriously do this (note that it isn't just playing, but you should be able to spot a lot of things ) you can write me a pm...
I would be glad to have some more beta-testers!

[Titus Protius]

Betas a good idea, i just finished the WIC closed beta and the feedback the testers gave actually made the game so much better so would be good. Maybe make a beta test thread for people interested so your PM doesnt get full in the next hour.
looking forward to 4.0, SS is already the best mod so should be great.

The WiC beta was so fun and I agree that beta testers can help alot
