Just a memo for all those who are still visiting this forum:
The main BL development team has moved; a major revamping of BL is in production.
Ill post here about progress from time to time.
For now, we got most... no wait. We got all campaign crashes (as far as I can tell) fixed; but we decided to go a step further and balance/redo major aspects of BL tech, culture and unit trees. Also, some game mechanics have been changed and need to be tested now.
Stay tuned...

Ah, well. To be exact: for now all errors on the campmap have been removed, and the nex tech and wonder tree implemented. So don`t shout just "hooray" yet. Next steps are:

1. Gertgregoor/Moros will assign the Units to the new buildings
2. Balance Step 1 (closed Beta)
3. Assign 2D Art to the new buildings
4. Faction specific descriptions for about 50 Buildings to be implemented.
5. Assure the correct appearance of the new buildings on the battlemap
6. Balance Step 2 (open Beta)
7. Alpha release.

Since we are doing all this work alone - anyone ready to help, especially with Step 4? Then sign up at
