hey guys what's going on? I read from Samods that you guys are releasing this by the end of feb, which would mean, from where I am, it would be exactly 7 days..

to keep this short, I just wanted to know what we'll expect when/if we ever get to play the new version, will you be releasing it with a campaign and melee maps and such? does it have an AI now?

anyway good luck guys.. I hope to enjoy this great mod once again

Heya,

We will be releasing next Saturday (Feb. 28th) by the end of the day EST (-5 GMT) with at least 2 campaign maps for the humans, hopefully three and we will be releasing more multiplayer maps as we go since the MPQ we will release will give us more freedom to expand as necessary.

Ah, sweet. Man, everyone's moving up to MPQs, it seems. I need to jump on the bandwagon. :P

modding with MPQs have been around since WC3 was born(actually it was during SC era), but a lot of projects back then were still in its infancy and/or never had the chance to see the light of the day so we don't get to experience MPQ-mods back then.. but yeah needless to say, this stuff is old, and datas released in MPQ gives you a lot of capabilities that are usually limited when you just use maps..

I'm not confident in the amount of polishing and testing the second level will get before Saturday. So, we will however be releasing the first level along with the MPQ and the revamped multiplayer balancing level. This will really help with trouble shooting any issues I might be missing with the MPQ.

The first level is your basic sort of introductory level, so we will be striving to get the second level out within two weeks at the longest. The second level really gets more into a varied style of gameplay. I will be including a hard mode version of the first level, so you guys will have to let me know if it is too easy because truth be told, I'm not that good at RTS games anymore.
