Dev Blog #6 Better late than never eh? Overall In the last few weeks, we saw good progress on AoFE. Alot of play testing, balancing is going the right way and graphics and musicare shaping up as well. Optimistically I would say we’re actually going to makeour deadline! Balancing Thanksto the enormous amount of suggestions in last Dev Blog, we finally rounded upthe Unique Techs. Providing all civs with a useful technology that canhopefully crack open a new bottle of tactics. On top of that we are streaming alot of our testing games, including expert matches on AoFE. Feel free to tunein at our official Forgotten Empires channel or ZeroEmpires’ channel. It may happen that our matchesgo out of sync though and that errors occur. Which immediately makes clear whywe haven’t released the damn thing yet file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif Graphics Jan and Yan are working hard to get the Slavic graphicssorted out. It’s all matter of “hitting the right spot”, but sadly we’re notthere yet. But we can clearly see them getting closer everyday. As you can seein this comparative screenshot which shows the evolution of the feudal agebarracks: They have also completed the graphics for the palisade gate (it’s pretty!), updated the Magyar Huszar and even created a full set of Slavic walls & gates. 11111 That’s the amount of fans we hit this week on our FBpage. Sadly I wasn’t able to capture this “hilarious” moment as I logged inwhen we had 11112 fans. So, next stop, 111111? Campaigns Slow but steady. These things take a lot of time tocreate, but they’re coming alive. For the release next month we hope to have atleast 2 and hopefully 3 campaigns ready. The theme will be the Italians. Eventhough you won’t play every campaign from the point of view of the Italians!Additional campaigns will be released in the first late-January/early-Februarypatch and more shall be added as we go. Site-outages Over the next week, the site will be moved to a new host.This might lead to error messages and generally the site being down. However donot fear, that means we’re working on it. See you next time!
