That kind spammer the other day reminded me of the existence of this game. Had a big deja vu seeing this topic, and it was indeed the same topic I've seen for years now (and of course the first topic I checked). It really makes me sad to read that the game seems to be progressing slowly. I didn't read all the replies since my last visit, but I see you guys are lacking some programmers. The reason I found you guys in the first place was that, at the time, I was looking for more good strategy games. Big AoE fan here, still play part 3 a lot. Anyway, this game really stood out. It was simply amazing back then, and it kept it's charm over time. It would not do this game justice to not release it. So in my humble opinion, you should get those programmers and get it done. And guess what. I'm a programmer, and I study AI. So, long story short (if it's not too long already). Give me a pm if you still need help on this. Even though I prefer C# these days, I might be of some use. I've been in (big) indie programming teams before, although I must honestly admit no projects got finished, and getting some AI programming experience in a strategy game is something I'd really like. I've been programming for about 8 years, and know my share of C++ (little rusty maybe) and other languages (also scripting, like lisp/some lua). I can dream stuff like A* pathfinding, although I imagine applying such things in 3D games poses extra difficulties. I am experienced with OpenGL, although personally I crossed over to XNA since C# doesn't feature OpenGL. So I might be able to help out a bit there as well, although your graphics engine already seems way more advanced than anything I've ever created (big surprise there). Ok, apologies for little it become a long story anyway . I'd rather not fill in an application form yet as I'd like to hear a bit more about what needs to be done first
