All hands on deck!!!!

I think we're getting very close to the point where RS2 will be able to be released. Thanks to the hard work of some of our fans, the unit descriptions are near finished.

There are still however a few outstanding items and I'd really appreciate if people could make every effort to get these finished off:

1) Roman previews

2) Buildings images (anyone with graphics abilities)

3) A list of levy armies (I did request that this was done in the 3 weeks while I was away which should have been enough time for people to do some thinking, but it turns out that very little has been done)

4) Levy army script (me)

5) Last bits of modelling and skinning (me, Leif):
a) Leif - few skins
b) Me - new models for.....numidian cav, spartan general, add secondary weapons to officers.

6) The last few buildings icons (Tzar)


Also I would love to update all the loading screens to new ones with the new vegetation and so on.

I think we can very realistically expect to release the mod in February if we all pull together on this.

I can finish the Syracusan swap faction too.
Most of the things remaining to be done are tweaking and testing. (I will do the model thing as soon as possible)

[tone]

Excellent, then maybe the Bosporan kingdom after that?

[Paedric]

Yep; but there are some graphical things to be done (faction symbole and maps). I can't made them.
By the way, the maps are also missing for the Syracusan campaign.

PS : Have you receved a PM from Naxzull about the video?

[tone]

yes I have

Well, before starting on anything else, I think this Syracuse swap faction needs to be finished correctly. There are quite a few things missing\mistaken in this campaign. I have fixed the character traits, diplomats and the spy (wrong traits for aging and turns alive), and the former Spartan units need to be added to the 'Free Greek' (britons) barracks.....the britons cannot recruit ALL of them, but most of them. We'll really need to go over this with a fine-tooth comb and make sure that it is dead-on correct and tested.

I will upload to svn a version with some corrections soon.

I'll take care of those few units Tone asked me to change today or tomorrow.

Leif, how's this going?

[MarcusTullius]

Is one of the Roman previews lacking something major? I can help out there on the writing front...

Mainly we need quality screenshots now.

[swhunter]

Levy armies ? What would you like me to do?
Can you explain further?

[tone]

With Brusilov out of action due to getting a job, maybe we should hold a screenshot competition and have the winners take screenshots for the Roman preview?

[swhunter]

That would be cool.

[pacco]

Competition? Between us and beta testers?

[tone]

public

I can assist you if needed but Tone please post a updated building icon list.

[ray243]

I'll do my best to get the intro videos done ASAP.

[tone]

Thanks guys.

The other thing we need to do is to go through the names files and make sure that every Roman name has a cognomen - at the moment it seems that only about half do and some have 4 names, so there appears to be some mixing up going on.
