I have been looking forward to this for so long I so hope so.Come on guys and thank you for all your hard work so far!
I'm praying it gets finished!!!
Well, you've been very patient with this mod, so I thought I should update this thread.
Current Status

I know it's been a very long time since I updated this post, and I apologise. This mod's decline must rest on my shoulders for the most part, as I've been a poor leader and have had less and less time to work on it. But also, a lot lies at the feet of the members who promised work that never got done. I'm not accusing anyone directly, as I know many people did do a lot of work on this mod, but I got very little sent to me or posted on the forum. But, with another year gone, I thought it right to let people know what's going on, and what's happened for those who haven't been around.
Completed:*XML only
Development
To Do
So, as you can see, there's still a great deal to do before we even get close to a finished product. If you want to help, send me a private message, or post anywhere in the forum, as I just don't have the time or energy to do it alone. If anyone wishes to take over leadership, I'm also open to offers, but I won't just give it away to anyone.

- DVS, the mod's founder, went AWOL over the summer and I haven't heard from him since
- Many other members lost interest and went to other projects or left the community altogether
- We switched from the buggy WoC mod to RevDCM, which meant losing a lot of XML work
- Mattygerst volunteered to build the mod himself, and did a vast amount of work, but I've heard little since we were unable to fix the DiplomacyInfos file and such unable to load the mod
Completed:*XML only
Development
- Scenario - Genghis Kai was working on this, but retired. Mattygerst also had a go, and his work is on the SVN currently
- DiplomacyInfos.xml - Frank is busy fixing the last file to have a working pre-beta released
To Do
- Civics - Bahmo was working on this, but I never heard back.
- Buildings - Firestorm94 was going to start adding buildings once we had a complete list, but this never happened. Please give us suggestions in the buildings thread
- UUs and UBs - sandman730 and Joecoolyo made many ideas, but no-one ever put them into XML
- Units - Ajidica started adding them, but I never saw the results
- Features - I never heard back from Steve, as he was DVS' contact, so none got done
- Ideologies - Ian started work on this, but I either lost the file or it never arrived. The file has also changed in RevDCM, so would need redoing anyway
- Events - We have enough good ideas for events but none have been added
- Leader Art - We have a few good LHs, but most are placeholders that bear little resemblance to the leaders they represent
- Building, UB and UU Art - None has been created or found

I'm still here NikNaks...I built as much as I possibly could with everything & sent it all to you. Just waiting for the DiplomacyInfos to get worked out by whoever does them...
I can't go further with anything until that is done...

There's a lot of detail on our ideologies idea in the Ideologies thread. We're going with the cultural option discussed there.
Dude; I completed that a long time ago and even asked if I could help get anything else done. If anyone needs them again; just search in that thread we had.

Same here. I uploaded the ideologies files to the SVN twice. I had XML done and buttons and icons done and working. I can't check myself from this PC if they are still on but I'll do.
Some UU art has been found. It is listed here.
I wonder if - next to Bahmo's, Genghis' and mine - other work has been done as well but is currently lost and just needs to be re-discovered. We should think of a better way to organise ourselves.

I'll have a try tonight to search our forums and make a kind of central indexing thread for both ideas and actually done and found work and I'll keep it updated. Any ideas?
Whoa, really? I'm really sorry I missed those. Ian, I'm not sure what you mean by ideas, but if you link to anything you find in one thread, that'd be immensely helpful. I missed the art in that post, as I thought you'd just updated the list. I can't actually find the Ideologies XML on the forum, so I'll have a dig through the SVN. It might be that it's in another branch somewhere, as I had to move a lot of things around when we switched to Rev.
Bahmo, I've found your civics file. Again, sorry about that. Is there anything you fancy tackling from the list? I think I have someone who's interested in doing buildings, so maybe the unit XML?
Equally, if anyone else has a bit of free time, do volunteer to do whatever.

I can get started on the units if you like; I need something to do! Just give me some guidelines and I'll get to it! Also, this is important: Did you make sure to download the last instance of my Civics file (In other words, the final version)?
On that subject, where is Genghis? If he's been gone for a long time, can we at least use what he completed, like the map?

I have the map completed.
The map is done with all cities updated, etc. The only thing we need to do is place the units. But that is useless without the DiplomacyInfos fixed.
All map work/leaders/etc. I completed & are on the SVN. The only thing keeping us from starting the game, as far as I know, are the diplomacyInfos.
