    Sorry to hear MA has being having such problems, and I'm glad to know it isn't dead.

    So has the original plan/map/factionlist etc. been scrapped or is it just being put on hold/hiatus to be resumed if more people join?

    W00t! You guys are alive!

    Italy wouldn't have been my first choice, and the angle of the map bothers me, but I do like the idea of a smaller scale of focus. Can't wait for more releases.

    The map has some advantages. One: It doesn't include too much of the Balkans which didn't play a major role in Italian history at the time, but does include Burgundy and Bavaria which did, and Two: You can scroll vertically down the coast which is a lot better in handling. Once you get used to it I find it's pretty good.

    No, the original plan still stands and we're working on it part-time. The main problem is research, but skinning and mapping for that stuff are also huge undertakings.
    I'm not sure if we can really get it done without a somewhat larger team though. As the aim was always a total conversion, one of that scale is almost impossible without at least half a dozen dedicated modders and as many researchers.

    The correct grammar is Italia invicta! Right, now that I've corrected you on that, I'm going to read the preview (you see how important first impressions can be?).

    True but the rest of the name isn't proper Latin either, only latinized
    Italia Invictus (even though it's the wrong gender) sounds better in my opinion.

    Edit: And since our initial name was already wrong, I thought we shouldn't start using proper Latin now

    Yes, we are still working on the Full-Scale version, but with such a small team, a smaller release is good to pique public interest and pick up some members, which gives us momentum. We have not stopped doing anything we were doing before, we have merely focused on a smaller scale release to gain attention and therefore, people.

    I'm sorry that the MA team is having so many problems, but you couldn't have chosen a better place than Italy for a small-scale mod. Are you going to include all of the features that were originally planned for MA (provincial titles, etc.)? I think that would really pique interest as people would want to see it in a full scale conversion.

    Try posting a recruitment thread in the Vacancy for M2TW, it might help with recruitment. Good luck and I hope you can eventually start on the full MA project.
