Senor Ramon buenos dias!

I tried to see the progress of the new IBFD but the link is broken or down, not sure which.

Nevertheless, How is the new version progressing?

site was down for a while, last I checked (few mins ago) it was back online, but the mod itself is progressing satisfactorily, I was trying to make a new intro movie but might have to delay that as is taking too much time for something unnecessary.

I didnt want to be the first to ask about progress. We are all aware of the pressure on modders from the eager community... but how is the next version coming along?

and I'm sure the most common answer is very soon

but I can be more specific.
I have to do the ff:
redo unit costs/stats on a few factions (Sassanids/Armenians) (2-3 hours work),
retest for stability of custom battles (was OK but shifted some units around a bit) (depends on amount of damage might take a couple of days),
finish the mercenaries.txt (3-5 hours work),
redo some ui elements (I saved my cards in photpaint w/c seems to corrupt alpha so have to resave in photoshop (half a day probably),

I cannot make any new previews as almost all the work is textual in nature

and anyway, we are very close to release
I won't be adding anything in unless it takes only a few hours to incorporate, so very soon, as in very possibly within the month, if not then early next month... :wink:

Ramon and IBFD team

Great news! but without pressurising, could you tell us what the primary featurs of V6 will be?

We know of map, factions etc, but anything specific on gameplay? Which version of Darth will be used, Mylae's latest buildings etc.

Dis you ever incorporate Caius Brittanicus' campaign idea of generic army icons not denoting strength?

Just in posting form would be great - meaning not a preview!

Keep up the good work on the world's premier BI mod!
