OK, people here's the deal.
It's time for me to get naggy.
Up until the alpha release we expected the release would result in a bigger team, more contributions from the community and more interest in the mod. As it seemed the result from the alpha release was, the team stopped working and the forum fell dead silent (except from the casual bug complaint). Now, some people say that no news is good news, but we are in trouble here. Some time ago, this mod was on the verge of extinction, and now, remarkably we are near that point again. We have released an alpha, but that doesn't mean we can just sit back and enjoy the ride!
I really really really encourage you, the community, to contribute the best you can in all forms you can. If you want a better mod to play on, you better contribute, cuz we really need your support once more. Restart the discussions, come with ideas, show some work or ideas, this mod isn't finished yet!
I can easily write events and oobs and all that, but research is one thing four or five people can handle by themselves. We still have a tech tree with large holes, we need new unit models, we need more events, we need ideas for tweaking. This is were our job diminish and your job expand.
Help us continue, dear community, if you want this mod to be active.
That's my two cents, heh
