[Caius]

sounds promising.
Good luck!

[cunctator]

Wow! Good luck, I really enjoyed your mods so far.

[Justiciar]

Wow, gosh, and gee-wizz. Best of luck to thee.

[Andres]

Good luck, Heer Zimoa van Vlaanderen !

[Bijo]

Looking pretty good. Now I'm curious about it.

[Herkus]

good luck

So this means you guys will have to move away from the TW engine and make your own?

[Lord Zimoa of Flanders]

Well we now use now a shared engine and source code, it means our programmers can make what we want or need, so no more modding restrictions.

The Arcane Legions : A Rising Shadow game engine will be used as a base for our next project, most recently the Arcane game engine has been nominated for the technical excellence award at the Independent Games Festival 2007.

Slitherine Software has put a lot of time and effort into this new and improved engine for Arcane Legions. We are altering and programming this engine towards our own liking, so it will be a new game on our hybrid engine.

The engine looks quite impressive, although obviously M2TW has taken a bit of the shine off it. Still it's good to see that a group of talented modders who are committed in their focus and work well together (something most mods miss out on), get rewarded by having the chance to create something new and exciting for themselves. The best of luck with it.

Good luck with your venture, Lord Zimoa of Flanders!

All the best Lordz!

Just had a look at the Arcane Legions screenshots and it looks rather like Total War battles:

I think the Lordz should be able to use that engine to provide serious competition to CA. My only advice would be try to get a decent strategic layer. Its combining the superlative battles with the hook of a meaty campaign that really makes TW shine, IMO. Just doing historical battles alone will probably remain a niche market.

I second everything that has been said here! I would suggest making the campaign a huge part of the game.

[Lord Zimoa of Flanders]

We use the Arcane engine, that does not mean the new game will be a TW or Arcane Legion clone. Just like the Quake or Torque engine provides very different games. We are not modding, but writing a new game and programming a fitting game structure. That will look and play totally different.

All we can tell you at this stage is that the new game we are developing, will be a historical strategy game set during the Napoleonic Wars. It will support single-player and multi-player battles and have a campaign, more focused on military micro-management.
