I love you. all of you.

I decided to look up the old WC universe a few days ago when i bought my brother a joystick for xmas... and what can i say, i've installed the old games i still have, ordered the ones i don't, and played them all through. i went searching for new material... and found you.

i am truly stunned. i CANNOT WAIT for the full release!

cheers.

Thanks. We are working hard and most of the missions for the final release are ready for testing and bughinting. So you could say they are near beta status.
A lot of things are missing and finetuneing all over the place is required.

Still its good to hear that people like what we are doing.

Just played this mod this morning and just Had to register here to let you people know how awesome of a job I think you guys did with this.

Ship models look really good, it really brings back the old WC3 atmosphere. though the textures for the ships look a bit bland. Voice acting was pretty good as well! I played the WC stand off mod before this and the overacting british was starting to get on my nerves, so much infact that I just couldn't play more then 4 missions. Sure you guys are not profesionals either but the well written, witty and funny dialouges really made up for any of that. Some times I was really laughing out loud. Good stuff man.

The freespace 2 engine lends itself pretty wel to emulate the WC experience, like I said already, you guys really caught the atmosphere of it all.
But please, up the punch of the Thunderbolt's main weapons. In wc3 you could seriously damage a enemy craft with 2 full gun blasts. But in Saga I hit a Demon with at least 3 full blasts only to see it still flying about with around 20-40% hull left. The thunderbolts batteries are however pretty much depleted after that.

Anyway, keep up the excellent work!

We tweaked some of the balance of the game after we released the Prologue and I think that there is a "patch" in progress, well basicly we transfere some changes we made for the main release over to the Prologue. It will be a good while till the patch comes since we are currently focusing on getting the main campaign done.

I hope you will like the main campaign as much as the Prologue.

How about a patch to give the Prologue those nice autopilot flybys, too!  :nod:
