Interview with JMRC at leviathyn.com

This doesn't sound good. Unique gameplay and historical accuracy were the two main strengths of EB1. Unit models etc. are important, but the replayability depends mostly on gameplay. The mod cannot feel MTW2-ish or it will turn people off.

Of course, that's why things are moving so slow and why the mod isn't released yet.

So does this mean scripting, traiting, etc.? What exactly does 'gameplay' mean when you say you are lacking people?

[Tux]

Yes.
