The Newness - 18AUG10

Or the Scots Berzerkers, who even sold themselves to the Dutch, when the Dutch were raiding the Scotish coasts.

Anyway,  more on subject I am hoping Crafting is next on the release list.

Apparantly it is wanting for the completion of Trade V2, so it should come before the AI faction release.

They were named Reislaufer meaning "one who goes to war". Warriors of the Swiss cantons who earned their reputation against the Austrian Hapsburg empire of the late 13th century. They were fearsome and disciplined pikeman who were capable of defeating units including Armoured Knights at impossible odds. So great was their reputation in attack and defence that by the 15th century the The Valous Kings of France considered it impossible to take the field of battle without these Swiss pikeman. uhmm yes Olek's idea of hiring out units is interesting. Just one thing though , since we have four races it will take some mechanic to ensure that different race units, serving under the same commander, fight at the same unit level. I imagine this has alreay been done with the NPC's Bayne's Irrgulars.

how acculturated!
my respects.

nothing new has arrived since the T2 buildings......i am desperately waiting for the factions to go live and introduction of the remaining T2 bildings

Do not forget all the unseen work that they were/are doing to the servers to make them more stable. They have done alot, and are working almost everyday if not everyday. You got to remember that to most, this is their full time job.

It sounds like they have come along way on magic but are waiting for the defense magic to get done before they release it. What is the point of releasing attack magic if there is no way to defend yourself from it?

One thing I forget as well, there is alot of..don't want to say pressure, but pressure to get things done. When you say you are working on something, there are people out there that expect it to get done in a heart beat. While on some things that is easy, its hard to know because one small thing they change could break something else or cause something they didn't expect to happen. Not to mention having to test out everything to see if it is well balanced and make sure that it runs as smooth as possible.

And the last thing they released was: http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/09dec11-release-notes-apopalypse-now_topic2924.html

I do believe that took alot of planning and testing..along with alot of headaches. XD
