Demonstration?

**Moose** · January 10, 2006, 01:54 PM

This mod above all has capured my attention. I was an avid player of Shogun total war which was a great period in history on which to base a game.

I seem to remember i read something about a possible demo battle for this mod - to tide us over. Any intentions of doing this in near future?

Anyway, keep up the great work - I hope you make it

This is my personal opinion, so this is not on "official" stand of the team,but i would rather concentrate our efforts on compliting the Mod rather then making a demo.I think that Kuroganes movies are best way to show you guys the work on process.But this just my personal opinion. :original:
About the battles in the Mod.Darth Vader is working on some amazing AI formations for the Mod based on Historicall formations, for example The Hoshi,the arrowhead.It concentrates AI´s troops to all out frontal assault where AI really concentrates its forces against the player.First time i tryed a defend against it,the AI suprised me and crushed my center.Cant remember the previous battle that i lost to AI before that.

Just finish the mod

The activity on the forum is really low (very surprising) but it sounds like you guys are progressing well. I agree about your opinion on the demo. Better to not tease us and get the full version out slightly sooner that you would be able to had you released a demo.

I agree it has been pretty silent in the forums,but i think that is basicly becouse there have not been much graphics to show to you fans out there. We altough have to remember that the Mod is about one culture so the basic units and buildings (Ofcourse the different factions have their unique skins)are the same for all the factions.We will show more stuff when its ready.I think it would be kind of sad to show everything when its half done so we could attract more people to the forums. :wink: Prometheus our team leader and head modeller is now on a holiday in North Africa so he wont be doing much at the moment. What we are doing at the moment is something that is incorporating different parts of the Mod in the game(mainly text editing: Factions,names,family trees,loading screens, faction icons and buttons, formations and unit stats,sounds and lots of little tweaking ).So we are working our buts off.So basicly what i can say is hang in there and be patient. There is more to come

I agree with you that making a demo is a waste of time, just go ahead and complete the mod!

**fallingstar** · January 11, 2006, 02:32 PM

Possibly not a demo, but did you mention a beta or something, so that some of us can also identify anything that we feel we can put requests to add into the final master piece.

**Kinjiss** · January 11, 2006, 04:48 PM

well, ofcourse our frst release won't be our last. so when the time comes when you ladies and gents get your dirty lil hands on it, you can point out bugs, add some suggestions, ask for requests.

I think there was some talk about releasing units with Uesugi and Takeda skins for online balance testing.

**Ecthelion** · January 11, 2006, 11:42 PM

Just don't strive to have EVERYTHING in the first version. If you try that you'll get stuck in an EB quagmire. Seriously guys, time without a release wears horribly on team morale. I know Kagemusha will stay till the end but we don't all have O-Kage-sama's dedication.

If you have the field battles set, just release that. Even if all the voices and bells and whistles are not there, it's okay. Field battles are what require the most balancing anyway, so give the community ample time.

BTW, where's Prometheus these days?

**Kagemusha** · January 12, 2006, 02:31 AM

Hello Ecthelion! Prome is on a holiday trip in North Africa. Im sure that when he comes back,he will have his opinion to share with the rest of us. :original:

I can assure you that we are working as hard as we can. We do have jobs, lives and button pushers (girlfriends/wives) to attend too.

We dont do that in the RNJ Team!

**John Wayne** · January 12, 2006, 09:50 PM

This mod leaks freakin sweet, and I can't wait for when it gets released. I agree with Ecthelion. If you can, give us the ability to play custome battles (or historical battles) asap!

**caprera** · January 13, 2006, 08:31 AM

I disagree...sorry but after a long wait i'm not so impatient to see this work. Don't misunderstand me. I LOVE THIS MOD, but i prefer to see the complete work in a single release than 2 or 3 minor ones with only little capabilities and running problems of every type. I prefer to say that i hope the work u done so far will be implemented in a single file, an installer; i don't have any request...

KEEP IT UP !!

Dito!

In the principle of marketing this product; a. If you are less than 40% percent done with this product, produce some kind of demontsration lest we forget. b. If you are more than 40% done then complete it. Although when you are ready to show it to us, we will be ready to see it.
sometimes tantalizing is the key to catching attention (you have already captured mine).
