enough talk
I posted this same message on enother mod...
All credit to modders, but in the words of Conan himself..Enough Talk!
The art is great, but Lets play...why do I get the feeling I'll be reading this mods dead in six months???
LETS GO! Even with all the great art etc if the gameplay sux...well....
I will be a beta tester.
Re: enough talk
Trust me, I want to see the damned thing released as much as you do, but there are currently a few problems:
1. This is a big mod. Every single faction is new and different, with new units/art/sounds/text/everything, and that means a lot of fiddling about for balancing (so thanks for the volunteer for playtesting!), and right now only myself and Cherryfunk are working on it. Other people have expressed an interest, but are working on other mods.
2. Real life concerns. I had planned on having an entire year out from education to work on the mod, but a number of outside factors meant that some 4 months were cut off the end, and I had to start work again earlier than I wanted. Combined with *two* recent foot injuries, this means mod progress is going far, far slower than I want.
It's driving me nuts that the mod isn't done yet: I specifically held off on announcing the mod until I had a lot of work done already, in the hopes that I wouldn't have the potential fanbase waiting for so long. At the same time, I want to release a reasonably polished and stable mod, so that people can actually play it and not have to suffer crashes or errors.
But as for the mod being announced dead: not on your life. I'm OBSESSED with Robert E. Howard, and I can't get enough Total War. I've experienced creative burnout many times before, but because of the nature of the Hyborian Age setting it's pretty easy to just switch your attention. If I'm sick of doing Cimmerians, I'll do some Kushites. If I'm sick of units, I'll do art and UI. If I'm sick of visual stuff, I'll record sounds or write up text.
I just hope this doesn't come off as more meaningless platitude (enough talk indeed!) but it's all I can do right now.

Re: enough talk
Believe me, T., if there was anyway else I could help aside from tossing suggestions into the bowl here and there, I'd have done so already.
My roles with WotD and Persian Invasion are merely historical research and public relations, which I imagine your needs in those departments are minimal.

Re: enough talk
Very apropos comment, general_varro, and good response Taranaich. Far from meaningless, it's nice to know what is going on.I just hope this doesn't come off as more meaningless platitude (enough talk indeed!
Hey, back to work!Nice one.
Anyhow, I felt like stretching my legs from the rewarding, but intense concept work for EB, so I whipped this up. I call it "Enough talk!".
I hope all is well!
