Despite the belief, WotE is NOT dead. It's just that Kyross (the current Mod Leader) doesn't have much time for modding (college, duh !), and neither do I (I have to work hard in a shop and meanwhile get ready for university). However, Kyross told me that he and Annullus continued working, and got much programming and coding almost or half-done. Not much work done on the new units/heroes so far, but we'll work things out eventually.

Actually, I just consulted with Kyross and we both think that we're going to release Beta 3.9 (or 3.4, call it whatever between 3.3-4.0 ) around Christmas. It will contain Elendil's re-designed heroes, Egalmoth's portraits for the old units and all the bugfixes/balancing Kyross and Annullus made so far.

Stay tuned

Speaking of Elendil's redesigned heroes, did he run off without giving us the sourcecode?
I think he did.

[MorrisB]

I'll get him for this

Well, that's a good sign.

I was afraid of the gone of WOTE. And it's so good to know that it's not dead!
How many members in the team now? I'm not going to leave ths mod anyway.

Well, since Guess Who and Elendil have left I guess we are a team of 4 now (plus-minus those who show up sometimes, like Grizzlez), counting Kyross, Annullus The Grey, Egalmoth and myself. If we could get a reliable skinner/modeler or two it would hasten up things... actually, we are recruiting again just right now:

By the way, I just had a very weird dream about WotE. Guess I was playing too much WotE AND CnC Generals, cos' I've dreamt about a clash between MotW/USA and Evil Men/GLA. Dunedain Rangers were paradropped from planes, Gondor Knights charged at tanks (and were winning !), but then Easterlings drove them back, then the Rohirrim counter-attacked , but then Saruman and Pallando summoned a tornado together, but during this a small commando team sneaked up to the Evil Men/GLA base and a Gondor Trebuchet hurled a nuclear bomb (!!!) at the enemy Fortress, and while the explosion set off, the game came to an end, claiming that I was victorius

Guess I should play with only ONE game at a time...

[xno The Black]

1.Gondor Knights charged at tanks (and were winning !) <<< What the...
2.Nuclear bomb <<< Please...
Last thing, "Guess I was playing too much WotE AND CnC Generals" <<< ...Totally!

[Annullus The Grey]

i could make you a nuclear trebuchet if you want morris or would you rather a plasma explosion

[Grizzlez]

I'm literally crippled with work and my final year of school to mod at the moment. I have my first exams in January and then it cools down for a couple of months before it starts again for summer exams. Maybe after January I'll try to find some time to come back, but at the moment I have totally stopped work on all the mods/projects i'm involved with.

[xno The Black]

I think that's fine, remember, life comes first.

[MorrisB]

@Annullus: I guess a nuclear weapon is weirder

@Grizzlez: I can't help but agree with Xno. Although I miss your skills, school is more important

[Hexman]

Cool WotE is not dead

[Annullus The Grey]

[Miku]

Hello, and thanks for reminding us that the mod still lives I don't have really time now, but if you can use one more team member next summer, I'd perhaps join in

I fixed the problem I had earlier when I signed up for a mapper, but I think I'd like to do something else rather... But we will see more about this in the summer.

[xno The Black]

Cool! I hope you'll join the team, Miku!
