Well you should be proud, suguroku changed gekokujo in a very beautiful way, because of suguroku im still playing this mod and its been for about 1 year now. The reason im doing this is because i want to add something to your and philip's amazing work! And i should thank you for it.
About the final phase i dont really know how to make it interesting, i dont want it to become another copy paste, so i'll wait and think something (hopefully) new.
And release, i think i'll be done in a month, im in the final phase, making new scenes for castles and villages, i'll post new images to this topic.
