I will do my best to try and find it. Thanks for the offer, but, finger's crossed, we're actually rather close to a release now… If you can believe it...

Well, as a reward you can get a glimpse at the Roman disaster events!

Joar, please do try to find it. Beautiful event message pics, thank you. Well, I want to believe that the release is close; but that's what faith is all about, after all: wanting to believe! Some time ago, in the RO thread, Julianus Heraclius also said that he hoped to release that iteration of the IB mods this year, too. If that comes to pass, then 2019 would be an amazing year indeed. Let's see.

This is probably a fitting song for what we had to go through.

Indeed !

Fixed the video Gallienus linked - To have the [youtube] tag work properly, only what comes after the v= in the youtube URL should be included. So in this video, with the URL of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBzuYNK95sM only DBzuYNK95sM should be in the tag

Thank you for the correct link!

I guess you know what building I was going for here:



It will not feature as a historical building, but rather as the final level of a certain string of buildings.

It's the mausoleum of Galla Placidia, of course. In the "XXL Summer Preview", its icon was among other "Historic buildings and sites", but I guess that with RR starting in 410, it's not correct to have it placed on that date ... It will represent the final level of christian cemetery/catacombs, I suppose...?

It's always risky to predict a release date, but let's just say that it's never been closer than what it is now!

Correct!

By the way, yesterday I uploaded a free to use portrait of Arthur -->here.

Beautiful artwork, master Joar! Thanks for sharing!

I was wondering .. if today, a man like Arthur, with his odd fixation of fighting at all costs against the continental hordes of Angles and Saxons and Jutes, would be considered a Brexiteer ..

A big thanks to King Athelstan for fixing my link.

Whoa Joan..amazing as always, and gentlemen how is a life?

[Joar]

Thanks!

My health is a bit poorly these days, but otherwise I'd say it's ok.

Fight on old norse! Remember: any disease that is so fool to attack a noble old norse and his battle axe, is too stupid to be dangerous!

Well come to the club. But don't give up...Instead find "refuge" in your art. Its realy apriciated arround.
If I can still fight so you can... In fact I will recruit you in TGC mod because this picture of yours seams to got out of my mind when I was looking someone to modify or create ROME I/BI style buildings UI cards:
That was exactly what i ment years ago when i asked people to make a "Fortified Port" that could evolve to Naval Base.

True...Diocle you are a master to give courage to us all!

Hahaha! That was great! You're very creative, my friend!

[Joar]

Thank you for your kind words.

Greetings good people, Spring has come in force and it's the evening of May Day. Any new preview on the works - or something else, perhaps?

[Joar]

No previews planned at the moment. We're in the final stages of finishing RR, so hopefully it will not be too long now.

[Leon Katakalon]

Great! Are we talking about a few months? How many religions there will be?

[Joar]

Great! Are we talking about a few months?

It's hard to say with certainty, but we are essentially finished. There's still minor stuff and some polishing and so on left to do, but I'm hoping this summer.

How many religions there will be?

Nicene and Arian Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Paganism, Manicheism and Buddhism.

[Leon Katakalon]

Great! I am prepairing another IBFD edition and working on starting positions for Restitutio Iustiniani. I have added (with the invaluable help of Julianus Heraclius), Monophysitism (to show the hate of the oriental provinces to Constantinople) and Nestorianism for the Lakhmids. I am also adding material from the Fall of Rome to IBFD. Also I am updating currently the germanic factions which will be more powerful than before. Force dimplomacy will be added and 4tpy system.

Good news! Waiting for more than 10 years, so a couple of months won't make much difference... hopefully.

"Summer" like in "midsommar"?

Good, keep that up

Sounds very interesting!

It's not impossible, but probably a bit longer than that. We are, however, close enough to say "any day now"...
