A request

[Rt. Hon. Gentleman]

Hi you guys,

Well, I'm not stupid enough to ask something like "When will RSII be out?", don't worry, but nevertheless I would like to ask something. As I may have mentioned here before, I was very disappointed by ETW, and now it looks like they just upped and stuck all the features they had no time for in Empire into Napoleon, and released it unfinished with no intention of seriously patching it. Well, I think it would be a great message to them if people boycotted it. However, Empire's flop left a dirty great hole in my games library, and I am getting a bit bored of my Hidden and Dangerous 2 revisit. If RS2 isn't out by February 2010, I know I'll end up buying NTW, and I really don't want to.

So, all I wanted to ask was, do you reckon you'll have the mod finished by February 2010?

Cheers.

Yes

Basically what's left is this....

1) Further tweaks to the campaigns
2) Finishing and testing the Roman leadership system
3) Remaining unit descriptions
4) Graphic tweaks - remaining unit cards, some building icons, one or two minor unit model / skin improvements
5) Roman rebellions for the Rome player
6) A few more trees, some shrubs and some grass tweaks
7) Testing, lots of it

....and a few other things that I've probably forgotten

[Rt. Hon. Gentleman]

Yes

Thank God!

[Mr_Fluffy]

Right on, Rt.Hon. - I must confess to having been put off ETW and intend to wait a very long time until mods and expansions make it a viable option. Until that day, there's more than enough with Rome in general and RS in particular to keep my urges for world domination under control. Good news, tone. Thanks.

6 months to go?

RS2 is right now a playable and so far 'stable' mod. It's just that a lot of the nit-picky things aren't done yet, and proper testing....which I insist on because I won't release and find people saying that there's way too much money, or too little, or it's too easy, or it's too hard, or........a bunch of other things that will annoy me no end because they should've been resolved before release.

[torzsoktamas]

As a beta tester I can tel you that the unit stats(attack,defense...etc)are almost perfect,...just some minor tweaking is needed.

[Leeham991]

Nothing is perfect right away.

RS1 was like RS1.5a b and c and a bunch of other I don't know.

[LittleD]

can you guys at least tell us if its going to be more or less then 4 months?

[C-Rob]

good to hear you guys have so much heart to see this, aptly named total conversion, is perfect. I have a feeling I"m going to finish my roman RS 1.5c campaign, which I think is perfect, and just being blown away by RS2 and thinking to myself, how did I think RS1.5c or any other mod in the world was any good at all!? You're spoiling us. Thanks. I wouldn't mind if it did come out 2010, amybe release it christmas of09? Gives me plenty of time to do what I want in 1.5c= turn the entire map red.

[BunnyPoopCereal]

I think Tone clarified that it will be less than that LittleD

[tone]

My hope is that it's less than 4 months.

The campaigns play well generally, a little more balancing to try and get things right. CTDs are very very rare (I've run some AI campaigns for about 150-200 years with no problems).

Most of what we're talking about is fine tuning and polishing

[Banana Jelly]

OMG 4-6 month sounds like an eternity. I thought RS2 was going to be released in 1-2 weeks. OMG

I wanna be a beta tester. Please let me

[tone]

If you fulfil the criteria, then yes, by all means. We need more testers still.

[Banana Jelly]

Yes, i have FRAPS, i can take screenshots and i can post out the errors in the game. Also I am mature. If this fills out your criteria which most of it does, then where do i start?

[tone]

PM me

[Banana Jelly]

Done

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

I've done so as well. I believe I could betatest RS.

[Ballacraine]

I agree with the OP. ETW was a real disappointment, for all sorts of reasons. There will be temptation with NTW, but I doubt I will buy it.
I never play ETW anymore.

This mod will be awesomely awesome & I am looking forward to its release.

I know I will not be disappointed this time!

[Leeham991]

1st off: NTW? Info please?

2nd: RS2 in less than 4 months!? WOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

3rd: Thank you!
