You're indeed mistaken. Ealabor switched to doing a mod based in the III Century CE which, as you all seem to have forgotten, will be an open beta. This is because the factions would be fewer, and thus he can get a playable mod to you sooner while he irons out code and scenes and the like that will go into 268 BC, as well as the vastly larger faction list. He's not being half-assed - the many factions, troop trees, etc. are a huge undertaking. The fact that he's not willing to use AlphaDelta's work due to alleged plagiarism doesn't help, either, as that means he will possibly have to do all of that over again. Regardless of whether or not you agree, that seems to be the state of things at present.
