When will work begin on EB2?

M2TW is out in Europe and I presume that this means that most EB EU members have a copy. As M2TW is out and 0.8/1.0 STILL isn't finished, will you just finish 0.8 and go to EB2 or will you finish 1.0 before moving to the new engine?

Although I haven't been an EB member very long, I know that our priority at the moment is finishing 0.8/9 and then 1.0 for RTW. Alot of the work going in to this can be used for EB2, obviously, like the many pages of historical and factual research being done on every faction.

I recall reading that .8 and the final 1.0 will be finish and not abandoned for in order to start EB2.

Khelvan and TA have repeatedly assured us that EB 1.0 will be finished, despite the work done on M2:TW.

There are discussions about the factions, and work being done on one of them already, but I'm under the impression that nothing has been successfully unpacked yet. Has anyone been able to do anything with this really moddable game yet?

I don't think so as no mod forums have gone truely active and nor has anybody posted a tutorial. I presume that soon we will see a few so then I can start on my first (non-public) mod based on AoM.

I believe that the current goal among the team. The transision from v.80 to v1.0 hopefully wont take long, although DONT quote me on that.

arent they just numbers? I meen unless ofcourse 1.0 is going to be BI there is no RTW platform above 1.5 really.

Versions above v0.80 should hopefully just be bug fixes, finishing up concepts, balancing, etc. Most of the hard work porting to v1.5 should be done, and we wont be porting over to BI.
