Or, let's just pretend he didn't say anything and continue to wait patiently for this awesome Mod.

Well I'm not surprised that this still isn't finished. I gave up on Tet by about the 4th promised realease date......or about 1 year ago........But who's counting? Now I see there is a deadline date that he will release it whether its done or not.... Come on, I understand these things take awhile but over 2 years is ridiculous. Your all being played. Guess I was right after alll huh?

Dude don't be a jerk. He's doing it for free, and he's not doing it for your own personal amusement. Show some respect or go play another game. I doubt that lack of a free Civ 3 mod has seriously hurt your life.

It took me 2 years to finish my mod. If you ever tried to do a full mod you'd understand. It's people like you that make modding a real pain. Impatient and ungrateful for a free product. People like you are the reason some modders just throw their projects away and never return. If you don't have any reason to post other than to whine then please don't. Grow up.

Thank you!
I know it may be awhile before mine are released, but they will be. Not on anyone elses schedule, but my own. RL comes first, and I am not the kind of guy that puts in 12+ hours of gaming in a day - more like 12 hours a week. Most of my family and friends think that is way too much as is. I have a career, family, and life that comes before anything gaming.
I know from reading Tet's earlier posts that he faces the same type of thing - his life coming before this mod. You know from all of his earlier work that when it comes it be top-notch stuff. Personally, if I have to wait until 2007 for his mod I will still play it just as eagerly. And if he releases a partially finished version before then I would gladly help finish it.

Meh, I'm also working on a mod as well, and there are some periods of time that it just gets boring to work on, and you want to do something else, like play civ instead of modding.

Exactly. People have lives and modding is a lot of work. The extent of this mod is far more than any other mod I've seen before. Expecting it to be released overnight or within a year or two is ignorant. The Lord of the Mods is into it's third year and it is still not done and you see nobody crying about it on their boards. What I don't get is why this is the only mod thread I've seen where anyone cries about how long it's taking.
Technically I said I finished my mod after 2 years, but it's really still not done. I released it last June and it's still awaiting the final patch which may not get done at the rate my RL is going until this coming June.
Patience is a virtue, impatience is annoying.

Sorry for such a long wait, I didn't check this thread for a lot of time.
Some more reasons:
1: The archeologist Vasile Parvan discovered 2 documents from the 4th century, where a king from Transilvania is called "Jude". This is not a name given by the Byzantine empire (like "patriciu", "caesar", and others). This name has latin origin, so it's clear that the king ruled over latin people at the north of the Danube.
2: In all the documents, the Romanians are living in forests and mountains when the Hungarians came. Always in history the sedentary people retreat to live in the mountains when there is a danger in plains and grasslands, and surely not the people who came later start living in forests and mountains.
3: The Hungarians mention about "Codrii Vlasiei" which means "the forests of Vlasia". These forests occupied a lot of space in middle ages, but now there are only a few trees at the north west of Bucharest. My point is: in the language of the slavs, this means "the forests of the Vlachs" so the forests of the Romanians. Also the name Teleorman (in slavic Deli Orman) means in slavic languages "mad forest" so it's clear the people lived there!
4: I wrote in the other post about the kingdom of Gelu. In some languages (for example Greek) the letter "u" is written "ou", so his name could be Gelou. There is a big town near Cluj, called Ghilau (or Gilou), and it was a tradition in this area to give towns and villages names from kings.
5: But the most important reason is that all the names of the big rivers from Romania are very close to the original Dacian names, and this proves that there were people living in Romania always since the Dacian kingdom. So it's impossible that for several centuries nobody lived here, as the other theory sais (examples of rivers: Olt, Nistru, Prut, Siret, Buzau, Arges, Timis, Mures, Cris, Somes, Tisa, and many others. For example, the river "Olt" was called in Dacian "Alutus").
And I'm sure there are more reasons but I can't find them ATM.

PLEASE!!!!
UPDATE
I am waiting on a unit. It is being specifically made for this mod. Once that is done, then everything should be good to go on to the next stage.
I highly recommend people who are tired of waiting to move on. Go enjoy other games, other mods, go enjoy life. When this mod is done I am certain many will find it’s a worthy successor to the original. If you people only knew the schedule I have, the things I am undertaking, you would then understand my problem. I HAVE bitten off more than I can chew here, but I am doing the best I can.
Final note, I have actually LOST money with the time I have spent on this, time that I could have been doing other things. I would say upwards of $30,000 easy. That is a huge sacrifice, one which haunts me at times, so please save the negative remarks. I think a few people here in this thread know what kind of sacrifice is required and I thank you guys for your messages of support.

I know what you mean. I kind of sacrificed my reputation to my parents by modding for a full day, 10 hours total.
They got really really mad...

Yes he was talking to you. I know your reasoning for it, but it is barely on topic - if that. It's a game - or rather a mod for a game, and if it is not 100% accurate in every detail, who cares? If it bothers you so much, change it when he releases it. And I could be wrong, but I don't believe TET has revealed any of the details you are arguing about anyway.

well well, the ETA is over, and as predicted, nothing happened.
I guess you'll keep waiting for ever and ever and ever...
have fun.
Intead, I am really sorry for TET who spent such a huge quantity of time on this. I hope he'll reuse his project anyway to prove his skill for the job in computer gaming hes loking for.
