marc32123 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have been looking around for awhile for a game that was like aoe3 and this game looks similar, except far more amazing. I don't like to play games though until the finished product is out, and i see that this game is still in production. Does anyone have any idea when the final version of this game will be released?

feneur Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Short answer: no one knows/when it's done.Long answer: Since we do this in our free time (mostly) we can have no idea beforehand how much time we will have available for the game, which makes it really hard to do any estimates. It's also the first game we've made/are making, so we don't have any previous experiences to compare with when trying to estimate how long something will take to finish. It will definitely be several years more before the game is finished though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight32 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's a free, open-source project - funded by donations, developed mostly by volunteers. No way to know how much time people will have to work on it, or even how many will be working on it. It looks like it's getting fairly close, but not much more you can say.The main reason for playing now is to help with the development process as a tester - finding bugs, suggesting improvements, etc., which provides its own kind of satisfaction. If you're not into that, that's cool - to each his own.It's a good game even at this stage, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrettin Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It feels quite a bit like a complete game. I only miss campaigns with historical scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It feels quite a bit like a complete game. I only miss campaigns with historical scenarios.From Alpha 17 and onward it is possible to create story-line based missions. It can't take very long before some skilled designers come with a campaign (sequence of story-line based missions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobi95 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 How are campaigns planned? Will there be an official one? Will there be the possibility to chose between mutliple campaigns in the ingame menu? Are there any ideas or plans for campaigns? (I'd really like to play a Julius Caesar campaign, maybe I should make one, if I have time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Software development never finished!It could always have:- better/more music- better/more maps- more units and infrastructures- better graphics...The game is better with every version. Try it out! Edited September 24, 2014 by raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feneur Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 AFAIK there will be no official campaign. As far as I knew we wouldn't have triggers either, so it's hard to say for sure. If good campaigns are created we will certainly put them in the game, but as it looks currently we don't have people on the team who will be able to do it, so it's best not to promise anything and rather try and focus on getting the other parts of the game finished + create the framework if we see that there is work being done. If it's good enough we'll certainly include it in the main game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta1127 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 To put it simply, campaigns aren't currently in development and were only planned to be made for Part II, now called Empires Besieged, which focuses on civilizations in their prime from 1 A.D. to 500 A.D., because triggers weren't even expected to be implemented until then.

iNcog Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Are triggers implemented?? That's actually very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
