It's good to hear this is going again, I was always interested in it. I heard you gave up on rtw though for awhile due to an accident.

I gave up on just about everything that involved use of my right hand until the physio was done and I could hold a mouse at all! Took a few months to sort itself out, but now it's pretty much back to normal.

I don't see any point in waiting for MTW2 to come along, so I might as well get cracking with this mod again! I can't think of any other mod I would rather be working on

Very clever! A mod for a game about ancient warfare in which you can upgrade weapon systems of robots and actually see it on the battlefield

I can't think of any other mod I would rather be working on

NTW2, Lord Bwian?

Just kidding, of course do whatever you like best, and this mod sure seems to get your creative juices flowing!

DJ ...I hadn't forgotten that

I have a few tasks to complete on that score in my spare modding time!

This mod is more of a creative 'build what you like' mod, rather than trying to make something that has to look exactly like what it is supposed to be!

But...to elaborate slightly on the build trees:

Each faction will be able to build a small selection of common units. These are the 'basics' with very limited combat use.

Each 'basic' can be upgraded. Build an 'Armoured Alloy Plant' and you can then build 'basic' and 'armoured basic' with a model showing base mesh plus armour plate. Then you can build 'servo upgrade' and have the basic unit or the armoured unit plus a power-claw. Power claw equipped troops will have a bonus against walking units. Next, build a powered weapon add-on, and you can add drill or cutting disc equipped unit.

For laughs, build a large chassis factory, and build scaled up basics.

For bigger laughs, build a Titan chassis factory.

I have also considered the possibility of making certain designs only buildable in certain territories, but I don't want to complicate things to the point where the AI just can't use the thing!

some of the 'leg' mounts in game and working. EAch will have a 'family' of top halves to decorate them!

Will there be any humans/alien lifeforms in the mod or is it all robots?

Looks great by the way.

no humans....but I did consider aliens. I don't know exactly how I would fit them in, since they would have to be fairly primitive to fit with the story line.
