Does anybody from the developing team have any idea when the mod will be ready? I can't friggin wait until it comes out!

Short Answer: When it's ready.

Longer answer: No, they honestly don't. As EB is a non-profit project and it is made at the free time of it's maker's. Thus the producing is even more uncertain than a normal game project, and even they are higly suspectible to a numerous things that could delay, or rarely accelerate the finishing of the project. For example a severe bug could delay a project for months.

Nobody knows when it will be released. Remember that it is a total conversion : we have to redo EVERYTHING . However, things are going faster in the team these weeks. Wait a little and you will get some nice previews.

This is an alternative charging animation for the hoplite, with an underhand thrust. This does not delete the overhand thrust of the hoplite, or any other overhand animation for the matter. It is rather an exceptional alternative for the hoplite that wants to surprise the enemy at the last minute, by changing the direction of the thrust:

The soldier thrusts with the buttspike of his spear, which could also be used as a weapon in some cases.

OMG thats awesome. How many different animations are possible?

**HunGeneral** · 10-07-2009, 10:51

Now thats what I call a well made animation.

Conisdering that most defenders would think the hoplite attacks with spear above shield, such an attack might even come as a suprise.

An excellent level of detail, as always. I just wonder: won't the spear clip with other soldiers when carrying out such a complex manoeuvre?

The fact that I sniggered at this comment is proof that the twelve year old within me is not dead.
