WOW! I can't wait!

Anyone know when it shall be out?

[Wundai]

Santa Claus!

[FabianScarus]

Christmas...?

[Wundai]

Darn... even from that answer it was thought of as a serious response

[FabianScarus]

I'm excited! I just want to know it there is a freaking set date!

[nhinhonhinho]

I hope it'll be release in October. It's a celebration month of 1000 year Thang Long

[Yelü Dashi]

There is no date set guys, activity has slowed down over the summer so no release this year - if you want to speed up progress find me some more modders interested in helping out

[FabianScarus]

What kind of modders do you need?

[Yelü Dashi]

Coders, scripters, artists (2d & 3d) ...you name it. About 20 people have access to the dev forum, but only two or three of us are currently contributing something. So we don't really have a team to speak of at the moment..its a 'difficult' period of the mod's development.

[Vaz]

If you need Traits, Ancillaries, and Balancing, I'm sure I can help out on occasion.

[TW_FAN]

not this year=( i thought it might be come out this christmas ;(

I'm sorry to hear that?...... maybe because exam season, or most of them working on their university final project?

Beginning of the semester actually, but I also took summer classes. I can only speak for myself in saying that school takes priority and my school schedule is very tightly packed. As you can imagine, it's difficult for a mod to make progress, much less release, when we don't have a corps of coders/scripters, and when I haven't the time personally to implement things.

This is not to say the mod is wholly stagnant, since our art department of 2 is diligent and we have some active researchers. We need more artists and some coders/scripters who are enthusiastic and willing to learn, take direction but also self-determine. Lacking that the release date questions will be met with disappointment for a very long time to come.

I should think it's not too much to ask that, if there are a lot of folks out there who want to see the mod release in their lifetime, some might come forward and provide an applicable skill. What people have to remember is modding is a hobby, even for those who are project initiators or key players. None of us are different than any of the people who follow the mod, we just decided we wanted to create something and sucked it up and learned some simple applicable skill so we could be of use in such a project. For some reason though there's a perceived divide between 'players' of a mod and 'modders', when in fact all of us 'modders' were 'players' who put in the effort to read a few tutorials and experiment. That's it really, and that's all we'd ask of driven people looking to join the team; that and communication.

Tibetan Unit Suggestion:

Meh-Teh
Yeti - Infantry / Various

Meh-Teh ( "man-beast" ) are large, hairy humanoids that inhabit the Himalayan Mountains. As tall as two men and covered in a coarse white fur, the Yeti have been legend for centuries. Until recently. The lamas of the Drikung Gompa have come to an understanding with the elusive creatures, and are employing them in battle! These warrior beasts have traditionally fought unarmed, but the Drikung have equipped them with various weapons of enormous size. Their long arms provide a strength beyond compare - a single blow is enough to mince a man. By necessity they fight on foot, without armour. Horses can panic if not trained to be in their vicinity. In addition to their unequalled strength the Yeti produce a distinctive, rancid stench. In game, this provides a moral penalty to opposing forces similar to the rotting carcass ammunition of the Trebuchet. Other names for the Yeti include Migoi ( "wildman" ), Kang Admi ( "snow man" ), and Dzu-Teh ( "cattle-bear" ).
