Hi Hegemonia team,

was just wondering if anything new is up cause its been a while since i have logged on to check things.Thanks very much for any info and I sincerely wish you the best of luck for this fantastic mod.I think you have the support of everyone around here and anyone who is into RTW modding.Once again keep up the good work!!!!!


With Honor,

POLEMIDAS.


ps. Hope you aint tired with people asking you for news all the time and i am sorry in advance if i cause you any problems.

[Snevets]

It's not a problem, provided that people are polite- you're doing it correctly. I hate to say this as always but we have big news coming up that I don't want to spill the beans on- you'll be happy about it, trust me. Other than the big news our work is primarily focused on the technical things we can't show off; we've been reducing the polygons in models at higher viewing ranges (lods) to increase game performance, working on some scripts, strat models and other non unit models, and various coding. As soon as we have something we feel ready to preview you'll know. We still can't say when the release date on the final game will be, and before anyone guesses that isn't the big news either.

well if thats not gonna have people guessing i dont know what will.!!!

[thebigsalad]

That's all good news.

Another question to the modding team please, i dont know if it's been asked before but will the game be able to be played with RTW Gold edition or do I have to reinstall Rome and then Barbarian Invasion???Thanks again for your time.

ps. All you other guys dont kill me for monopolizing the teams time and not letting them finish the mod!!!

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

they are making it for BI so you shold be ok with gold edition as i would expect them to be doing it for ver.1.6 but you never can tell. and they have been working on it for quite some time now, so it may be an older spec.

but as this thread is in the eras section(which is pre patched to ver1.6)
i think you should be ok.

[Snevets]

BI 1.6.

We don't intend to keep you guessing ad torture but there would be no point in speaking about something before it's ready.

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

see i told you it was 1.6

[removeduser_3482674582374]

Thanks a lot guys that took a weight off me, anyway i cant wait to play this mod as I am sure everybody else.I would offer myself for the history department but iam sure your historians are much better than me. Anyway see you later guys.

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

so when are we gonna get to hear this big news?

[removeduser_3482674582374]

SO guys are the big NEWS ready???Although i think i have guessed what it is...Anyway i just need to see if i am right...Thx again!!!!

[spirit_of_rob]

It will be ready when team members return from various holidays (vacations if your american), illnesses and the chaos of starting a new job

[Snevets]

I'm happy to hear your guess Polemidas, if you get it just right we'll preview early.

[Quinctius Cincinnatus]

where can I see what Polemidas guessed??

Q.

[removeduser_3482674582374]

I think my dear Snevets Almighty that it will be be either a video or the beta, and in case you really dont want to spill the beans just dont answer me and i will guess again if I am right (although most of the time I am)....

AS ALWAYS

[Snevets]

A video or a beta... nope, sorry.

[monkeyman]

is it the persian preview we've all been dieing to see

[removeduser_3482674582374]

It's definitely not a faction because they wouldn't make such a fuss about it, they say it's something really important and since it's not a video or a beta version I don't know of what else to think about although there is one last possible answer but still it's just seems pretty early for the mod to announce such a thing and I am not talking about the mod being publicized for those hopeful out there...still what i have in mind is very unlikely and i am going to stop guessing BUT i might pm you Snevets in a few days with my new guess and if i am right he can then publish it.....

[removeduser_3482674582374]

So there haven't been any news for a long time and i expect that this very moment the team is working hard to finish the mod.....( GET YOUR LAZY ***ES FROM THE BEACH AND GET BACK TO WORK)...just kidding...anyway i have checked all the previews of the factions and I was surprised to see that the Cretans haven't been previewed still and since I am a Cretan my patience is running... ehhh I mean I would be glad if you presented it as soon as possible just as a favor to me your NUMBER ONE FAN.

Hi HCS team,

My guess is the recruitment system in HCS.

As an aside, as the thread title is "What's up? Any news?," I would say that the biggest thing thats' up is the hoplite vs. hoplite gruelling warfare this mod will produce!!!!

People are dying for this mod but don't realize that battles of this time period didn't end in 1 hour. These battles were messy, bloody and at times, ruthless. Consider Demetrios (Dionysios?) I Poliorkitis of Syracuse and his modus operandi in ruling and warring.

What's the point? This mod will probably, most definitely tax a great many people who think it should NOW be released. Folks, you just might get what you ask for.........

Consider my simple input please, hellas1
