Second preview?

[Figman808]

Where's the second preview? They said it would be out some time around now (a couple weeks ago). Is that still the case?

Patience is the virtue

And virtue is knowledge. And you shall know very soon. But i can say it won't be this week, we are currently recovering from a bit of a forum reshuffle so theres a bit of filing to do.

My guess would be, expect an extra christmas present.

Mine's capped at 10... *tumbleweed* Oh, wrong game?

Allow me to repeat unto everyone here a lesson, taught to The Voice of the One True Mod by none other than the One True Mod itself:

"... and given the dissapointment that ensued by the traitorous RoE, The Voice forgiveth, and gathered unto him a mighty host of follows to his Forae, upon which he decreed, 'Our next preview is still on-the-go, we still have a map to work with', and at this the people rejoiced, only to then be announced by the Holy Hross; 'the map and all its extra functions will be top priority for the next preview. After that we are only a step away from a playable Beta.' There were many celebrations throughout the Dominion, for the Holy Hross, The Voice of the One True Mod, had proved to his disciples that he can show them the way to the promised land..."
(Announciation, Pg 18, Pst 352).

Have faith, my brothers, for The Second Comming shall be upon us soon, and then we are only a step away from the promised land!

For thine is the mod for Kingdoms, the Forums, and the Glory,
for ever and ever.

Amen.

There will be a preview of the map soon, and some campaign elements. You're right we are already late... so sue us!!! It has taken more than 'just a few weeks' because of the many changes our team went through around the time of the Preview, including the potential merger with RoE.

It may be likely that we produce a few Dev blogs before a second grand preview, so that way you will get some info and screenies a lot sooner. We aim to please...

Take as long as you need...
IMO, it would be better not to release blogs etc if it delays development and the release of preview 2.
I have to say I look forward to this day a lot - whenever it may be.

I am filling out the paperwork as we speak. I'll see you in court, sir.

Hey guys just to let you know... we have seen some little tasters of the map.. and well it is nothing short of.. err well ORGASMIC!... To be more civilized, I have a new wallpaper! Rep for Resurrection!!

[Hengest]

Yepp, Scotland has never looked so.... err Scottish

William Wallace would be proud to fight for the independance of the finely sculpted and epicly historical DotS Scotland!

And that's before you see the majesitc fjords of Norway...

*drools*

... but anyway, all in good time .

You are making me too excited!
The release of this mod will probably be better than Christmas!

[CaptainScott]

I had not been tracking this mod, but I downloaded the preview yesterday and all I can say is "WOW!" This looks like it's going to be really good.

Any idea on the release date? Hopefully by Christmas, when we all have a little time to devote to it?

If you're not prepared to take a week off work for this, then I say you shouldn't be allowed it!

[CaptainScott]

Looking at the preview, I might just do this! However, the mod has to be released first? When would that be?

The existing preview is great; don't see why the developers would need to do another one. They should just push on for release. I would think that they would want to get it out ahead of Empire Total War, at the very least.

[Copperknickers II]

No way it will be out ahead of Empire. We are only on our first preview! We will have probably 3 or 4 previews before we release. Preview 2 will be a bit smaller, i'm guessing, but you'll get it for around christmas. We have only just started making the map, and have added a new faction. A faction = unit research, unit modeling, tech-tree, descriptions, concepts, historical setting... thats at least 2 months work on its own.

[CaptainScott]

Copperknickers,

That's real disconcerting, but I certainly understand that it takes time to build a great mod like DotS. Darn, I was hoping to be playing this one by Christmas.

Previews build interest, but they also build anticipation--which can be good and bad, as eager gamers begin to pester you about release dates, etc.

This is going to be awesome, but I guess we'll all have to sit tight and wait for it!

Yes thanks we know...

[Subuatai de Bodemloze]

Well you know... you could always lend a hand there are loads of things that need doing.
