    Default I am here! Stand Fast, and hear... The Neew DoTS Preview!

    It has been some time since the last DoTS preview. This is why I, as a new fan and (unfortunately unskilled and without any modding grasps) came here to hopefully burst a fresh breathe of life into these forums and absolutely put the masses into hysteria. But I cannot do that alone! Indeed, for all such effects to happen we first need to have an awesome and ground-breaking mod. Failing this for now, this is why I came here to ask - nay beg - for a new preview! Please, DoTS team! Anxiety is owning our souls as we speculate and wait and I could not keep silent inside me how eager I am to see a fresh insight into the WIP. I hope it is ten, nay thousand times better than the October Grand Preview!

    Now, pretty please, can you tell us mortals when you're going to release a new preview to appease us ?

For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    Be patient. We are working 24 hours a day (almost) just to please! I'm sure that someone is gathering up some new footage to show you guys!

    Would even be enough for me if I was able to see the first preview.
    Open Office clearly has it's advantages ... viewing previews of DotS doesn't belong to them.

    But to say this a bit more positive: I will get a much bigger surprise than all of you if the mod comes out since I do not know anything but the rough concept. And I really like the rough concept.

    The coming preview will most likely showcase the map, however, as a team, we want to show the entire map once it's done rather than just give you pieces of it. I say, the day when we finally release some new screens and info will be a glorious day for us and you guys indeed. Also, the reason it's taking quite some time is because the map head has decided to value his teams ideals and is currently planning to give the map a new look.

    That selfish b%@^&*d! What the hell is he thinking - "valuing his team's ideals" pffffft... This is almost as bad as the time when I was homeless and a "kind" rich guy gave me four kilograms of gold - I mean how frakking inconsiderate! Doesn't he know how heavy it is?! How the hell was I meant to carry it all?! Honestly, you people don't think! Less thinking, more action is what I say!

    [/weirdrant]

    As desperate as I am to get my grubby little hands on this mod (honestly, my mod-virginity is starting to grow back), I'm glad that the team get chance to realise their ideals You guys keep up the awesome work, and we'll keep up the whining, complaining and impatientness. It's worked out well for us so far - why change?

    The new dev blog is awesome, the new map is SUPERB!!, such fantastic work! You guys really deserve some extra hands, I only hope other awesome modders such as yourself will see the chance to be part of the awesomeness that is DoTS, especially a fantastic and hasty skinner/modeller!

    There are no words. Barring any changes, this is the most perfect map I've seen for a mod to date. Hopefully the provinces work out just as beautifully. Well done DoTS! I eagerly await this mod!

    The Grand preview was not good enough? What more would you like. Except map we won't be introducing too much of new graphic stuff and thus description of features is all you can really get (along with some illustration screenshots).
