While I would like a beta *hint hint* I think that we should trust the people making the mod on when they should release a beta. Other than maybe the Empire I doubt that even the skins for all the factions are done. Let alone the animations, traits, city and building design, and some of the complete unit rosters for factions. While this mod has come a long way it still has quite a while to go as far as I can see. Although a few new pictures couldn't hurt
