Sorry to bother you, Rev. But I just wanted to ask what exactly you had in mind for this release? I know things are slow and there are a lot of things happening that take your time away, but there are a few things I wanted to ask. I understand you are intent on releasing the mod as incomplete yet I am starved for some news.
3 particular features in the mod are of interest to me.
1. How many factions do you plan on releasing?
Personally, and this is just my opinion, I thought 13 land owning factions was a tad excessive for an M&B game (the 5 factions in Native were a bit much at times). At the very least you need 4 factions up and running to keep things interesting on a large map, so I was wondering what you were considering.
2. Concerning the races, are at least the Kalids up and running?
Dwarves and elves are all well and good but I think the fans (such as myself) are very excited by the prospect of playing a red-haired blue-skinned warrior with a penchant for hammers and longbows. The mod would not be as fun without them.
3. Will the Museum be cut out?
Well, the question speaks for itself. They sound like an interesting bunch but it is understandable if you cant include them.
