I've never tried modelling and stuff, don't you have to pay for the programs?

I would like to make a a new mens fortress at somepoint, and have a moat for protection like the elves.

Ok thanks...

I will release my first beta this weekend possibly...

I want a few private testers before release who can use LAN, probably hamachi and have 1.06 or whatever the latest patch was called.

Don't think there are any bugs, but I'm not the best spotter.

If anyone want to help private test with me (I haven't played online in 6 years so I don't know how good I am (I can kind of battle HARD CPU, but lose in the end).

I'm looking to play a 4v4 battle (we can be together, or against each other), and use also CPU as well to see the ai with the new units. (I have them built, but just to double check on how they perform ect).

You shouldn't count on getting private testers, they are hard to come by

[Elric]

[Chocolate Star]

I will release beta tomorrow in a post for everyone.

Also on moddb.

I can't find any bugs right now, there may be one or two incomplete strings, palantir images or balancing issues, but that will be fixed in next update.

[Elric]

Put it on "the3rdage.net" (its the main site of these forums and there is a section for mod downloads.)

[Chocolate Star]

Alright. will do

[Lauri]

I would suggest that you upload the mod itself on ModDB, but post a link to the download on the main site here after you create a mod profile for your mod. Saves bandwidth, which I hear is good to do
