[Calamity_Jones]

to be honest you have a very much valid point, i'll chat with boomer about another news post

[Hell_PDF]

In your last non-forum update, it says its almost finished. You make it sound like there's very very little for you left to do. Then, 3 months later, its the same! At least an oupdate on how far you've come since then! And f its so close to being finished like you said it is there, why is it still not finished? RARR (frustration)

Other Notes

SARGEANTS NOW DO THE CAPTURING, NOT BUILDER UNITS, this will force the player to build the basic unit squads, and in addition, each side now has a squad of units to start with in order to give each faction a pretty equal start as regards to capturing derricks.

We [nearly] have cameo's for everything now, we are still short of a few, but most of them are now done.

Each faction has MOUNTAINS of new special FX that I've been slaving over for a long while to get just right.

Each faction also has many new sound FX and each has its own unique voices, no more using the generals voices! [Need to record some Kroot voices, the sound like col. burton atm... handily I've spent many a year making stupid noises with my throat so I can do kroot voices ]

The mod is now much more accurately balanced than before, I've been meticulously making subtle balance changes for months now, me and Boomer played some test games last night, and I have to say, I think the mod is almost perfectly balanced.

There we go, as you can see, most of what needs to be done is adding in little things here and there, I'm going through list after list after list of bugs to get this mod DAMN PERFECT. This isn't another Beta, this will be pretty much final release quality.

Done some... ah... Quality Control on the post... shouldn't be any more serious typo's now...
