    macsen rufus--it's wonderful to see a modder--a great one, at that--who is still active on the forums! I want to add my voice to those above (hail, Gaiseric and Leith) and say that I am a big fan of your work. The forums might be "slow" at the moment (to put it mildly), but I want you to know that there are still those of us who appreciate your hard work. A tip of the hat to you, sir. I look forward to your future endeavours.

    Hello everyone,

    You see, friends, the reason why these forums are "dead" is because lurkers just don't post. I used to be a lurker myself but then I realized, hopefully not too late, that eventually the community of this game will die out if we continue to lurk around without making some comments about the mods we downloaded and liked or disliked. This game is a gem not because I'm a fan of 'old' games but because it does have potential which, in my opinion, has not been fully realized. But with modders like macsen rufus still around, perhaps the future of this game is not so bleak :)

    I haven't been active in this forum in a long time, but I noticed your post, Leith, and I think you have a very good point. Thanks for coming out of the woodwork and being a part of the solution.

    Indeed, modders are gems, a big part of what has made this place glitter.
    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    Hey,

    I hope you guys don't give up with this mod. I for one have been looking for a developed Ancient mod total war for awhile and I like to see this continue to develop. Hopefully this mod continues to evolve and maybe use the same engine of Rome Total War but in the Ancient war era. Rather then have the 'turns' be a year, I hope this changes to say 4 months or something like that. In other words, a year passes by with 4 turns rather then 1.

    But keep it up! I hope to see an update sometime soon!

    I love playing as Egypt on Ancient: Total War. After all this time there is STILL not a mod for RTW which covers the era of Ancient Egypt, Assyria, the Hittites, etc. and I keep coming back to this one.

    Cool I'm back!

    After a hideously long hiatus I have returned to the project. Unfortunately a very severe computer death means I lost all my original research and most of the modding tools I had.

    However, the good news is that I am now working on the Eastern Empires (Ancient 2) and will release an updated Ancient 1 (European/Mid East Bronze Age). Nothing new on Ancient 3 (Roman Wars) - I'd love to do a Conquest of Gaul scenario for that, but that will depend on finding the right tools...

    Currently in progress: a few tweaks for the Alexander campaign, and I have a Rise of Persia campaign that is coming together much quicker than I expected. I hope to get a beta release of Ancient 2 out in a few weeks (with improved Alexander and the basic Rise of Persia included). Then work begins on the Diadochi.

    A quick taster for RoP:

    Factions:

    Athens
    Sparta
    Ionian Greeks
    Persia (duh!)
    The Medes
    Neo-Babylonian Empire
    Gandhara
    Illyria
    The Scythians
    Egypt (26th Dynasty)
    Thracians
    Macedonians
    Argives

    Edit to add: and the Lydians of course!

    Ok, so the Greek world is a bit sketchy, but there are two reasons for this: a) the map concentrates on Asia; b) that's what HTW is for...

    More later
