Some news would be very welcome here. What's the status on designing? Any problems that seem insurmountable? New interviews? I just checked the last Civilisation Showcase and was shocked to see it has been almost a year ago! It still lies fresh in my memory as a moment of joy to see new stuff.

I presume that the team is working behing the screens, because what has been said in the topic about game designers. That, and everybody is probably watching 0.a.d. for it's finishing phase. (It is finishing soon, no?)

'Shouldn't we send him a message and call in his help?' Erestor asked. 'It seems that he even has control of the Ring.'
'No, I shouldn't say it that way,' Gandalf said. 'Rather say the Ring hasn't got control of him. He's his own master. But he can't change the ring, nor break the power it has on others.'


No, my name isn't wrong, it's just a combination of Mithrandir and Mithril: look and see: MITHRandI(L/R)

we are making huge progress in design, so you can rest assured that we haven't stopped working :D The problem is that the work we're currently doing isn't something you can make a news item or post about without divulging too much. But expect something sooner or later :D

Even saying that you are making huge progress in design is news! And it keeps the boards alive...

Can you give any estimate (perhaps in %) about how far the design document is finished? Would be nice.

I was talking about the design document not the whole game! And an estimate doesn't have to be so precise :D!
