News on the release date and what is planned.

[Petellius]

Alright guys, how are we all?

So basically we might be late to the release date, I'm not sure for how long it could be anywhere from the weekend to another week or so. Alternatively we might actually hit it, I just wanted people to be aware so that we didn't have people freaking out on the 30th.

Q:So what happens if you miss the release date?

A: Well, we'd miss it and there isn't much to do about it. Come the 30th I'll talk to the team and will likely release the battles and possibly the naval battles to you all to mess about on MP until we fix everything up. We'll likely also release a closed alpha of the campaign to fix any bugs and for people to help with building descriptions and such (might even do this before release).

Q:Why didn't you release on time? WHY DID YOU LIE TO US ALL

A: Chill dude, we're modders, we don't get paid and this isnt our jobs. Literally moved into a new house a week ago so had to stop modding for a bit, same with the other guys, I mean philip is doing a damn medical degree and he still somehow trickles in content every week...

I'll make sure you're all kept informed and that you know whats going on.


Finally I'd simply like to say go watch Havoc on Youtube, the guy has access to our campaign and does regular videos on almost every aspect of AE and I speak to him daily so that he can do the videos that I dont have time to do.

Stay tuned over the coming days he'll be covering the campaign building trees and some other campaign things.


Thanks for your endless support and hope you guys don't hate us all too much :/
Petellius out.

Interesting but not entirely unexpected news.

I hope we'll be able to play AE some time soon.

[Petellius]

It's highly dependent on our success on a daily basis so we'll see how it goes.

[Tenerife_Boy]

It's not a big deal, just take your time and we will have a great mod to spend uncontable hours on.
Cheers!

First I have to say : Thanks for this mod to every AE team!

Personally I just hope and pray to Lord of light, Jesus, Ala, Buddha, Zeus, tengri... etc that 30th Sept will be a release day.

cause it is my birthday!!!!

whatever, whoever gods.. please give strength and power to all AE team.

to fulfill their oath!

[Gongo80]

nice for me, i've got a lot of work to do in these weeks

[Visarion]

Don t worry... better if it is a less buggy mod than what the guys from CA did with Rome 2... realeasing a beta and all... pre-alpha actually!

[The Wandering Storyteller]

Love to play the campaign when its finished. Although battle and naval release would be nice. Do hope you can get it done by the 30th, but if it can be released the next monday or whatever, good. Take your time with this though. A good mod should be spent with a lot of quality time. So hope it can come whenever it can.

[The Wandering Storyteller]

Nvr mind, have a look at the campaign map here, around about the end of the video, it looks AMAZING!!!

I love the fact that the campaign map looks and feels much more ancient, and the UI looks amazing with it, and the greenery is so better than that shabby looking Attila dark atmosphere.

Look forward on custom city updates in the future.

[The Wandering Storyteller]

I have a question, how finished are you for this first release? 90%? 50%? 70%?

Do update when you are releasing.

[Lord Damian]

It´s okey guys. It´s done when it´s done, we all wanna a less-buggy game becouse nobody like CTD.

[NateTheGreat1990]

Upset but understandable.

For the closed campaign alpha, would you be using the Beta Testers from before like those on the slack website ?

[shawn858]

we've all been waiting a long time for this amazing mod, i think we can wait another week or two if needed ;]

[Maetharin]

Would love to help you Guys anyway I can

[Petellius]

Yeah I'll try get a closed alpha soon simply because I don't have time to write down everything that needs doing xD (not that there's much)

[Heathen Hammer]

Yeah I'll try get a closed alpha soon simply because I don't have time to write down everything that needs doing xD (not that there's much)

Is there a sign-up process for closed alpha?

[adambomb1]

Wish ya the best of luck on getting campaign finished as soon as possible. You will make us the best of best game, with no doubt. Thanks for making it to begin with. Love watching the battle-tribes videos, all 140 or so of them.

[Tyler455]

Can't wait that's not much of a push back either so

I do have a question I haven't been able to find an answer to this mod covers a specific period but is like EB where we will not be able to continue past the end date? In vanilla it's an option as we know in EB you are kind of forced to quit once that date is reached

i understand the tech will stop advancing but maybe do we have an option to continue or?

Either way can't wait

[Tyler455]

Sorry for the last question but I know or I heard you guys are making units 240 per unit my rig is 1070 16 gigs of ram with a i7 4790k I find atilla isn't the best optimized so I don't use mods to up unit size from vanila max.


will there be an option to set the unit size to vanilla max not the 240 max or?

[servent9]

I think you set small ~ large unit size in graphic option. (ultra mean 240~300)

and I personally love ultra army.
