I guess you do not.

Ahh! Someone is being rude on the internet, woe-is-you.

Some of you lot on here get so touchy and pedantic over this on here it is ridiculous, of course people are going to start to make assumptions about this when it has been a year since any kind of word on this site about the mod. What, you expect that the public who have been waiting a extremely long amount of time for this mod are just going to let it slip when the developer gives them nothing for over a year, and yet when anyone has enough courage to pipe up and say 'What the f*ck is going on?' they are blacklisted and attacked by fan-boys who are too blind to see the truth, and even worse have their comments removed altogether by the developer, funny that isn't it.
As I said before, ridiculous.

Oh yes, because I am clearly going to know the context it was written in, unlike some I do not obsess over this mod 24/7.

Well, you are a fool.
Telling me all these so-called 'steps' does not really change anything, and to answer your question "then why was it greenlit?" It is very simple. The people who use greenlight do not always know what they are voting for, if they knew it was a mod to begin with I am sure that they would have changed their opinion. The people who are against it are those that know the full background of the game and do not see why they should pay for a game that is in fact a mod (look at the home page, there are more people than just me voicing their discontent).
And step seven does not answer my question at all, it does tell me the reason, but it does not tell me why they decided to accept it and turn their back on their fans, rather than just stick with the original plan, or at least cancel this and create a new game that is supposed to be a game from the start.
Also, I must add that all of your attempts to defend and justify their actions seems to be in vain, because nothing has been said by the creators since it was greenlit, have they turned their backs again?. It was the 100th Anniversary of Franz Ferdinand's death last Monday, yet no word to be seen.
As I said before Adversus solem ne loquitor.

P.S Thank you for writing out a list of how B of E was created, not because it answered any of my questions or changed my opinion, merely because I do love it when people present things in a neat, concise list, even if it is a waste of time.

Fool.
I said I will not, and shall not buy this game becuase I refuse outwright to pay for a game that is in fact a mod.
All of this nonsense about 'did not dream about cooperation' is insignificant. If you acctually tried to read what I have said rather than try and argue with me then you may understand as to why the people whom supported this mod are now outraged that it has taken the sell-out route.
And if they did not think of any money at all, as you so boldly suggest, then why does this mod now have a price and gone under the fake guise of a game? Why have their fans been disregarded? And why, after this game was greenlit, has there been no updates to speak of since May?
I respect that you may have found somekind of ill thought allegence to this mod since you are the first to argue with all those who have any complains, but please do not pretend that you know what they want. I good sir, do not accept that.
Adversus solem ne loquitor.

Charity workers deserve to be 'paid for their hard work' [sic], but it does not mean they are.
This was originally planned to be free, but this preconception has seemed to be to no avail. If they wanted to make a free mod then make a free mod, they should not have gone down the sell out route and turn their back on the loyal fan-base who have been waiting for years.
If they wanted to make a game then they should have cancelled this project, or released a not-complete mod as thanks to their fans, and moved on to create a game that was planned from the start to be a game, that would be acceptable. This is not acceptable.

Well, this would be verily fact if I actually liked these titles. But unfortunately for you I do not. I feel exactly the same way towards these titles as I do towards 'Battle of Empires'.
I do cachinnate at your feeble attempt to try and normalize this practice.
Just so I am clear upon the ear, or in this case eyes, I shall not and will not pay for a video game that is in fact a modification that has decided it is now a game. I feel that this page is mendaciloquent and wrong as it depicts the 'game' as a mod when in fact you will have to pay out your well earned affluence to own. This is ludicrous.
I have tried to look at this page on hebdomadal occasions, but still I see no proclamation which say this untruth will be removed forwith under the category 'mod'. All I ask to is that this page be moved to the 'Games' category, rather than it be a reminder to people of what could have been. I personally will not buy this out of principle, but for those looking for a genuine game should not be lied to aswell.

I do not agree with your opinion, but I will defend your right to have one with my life, as I would do mine.
However the simple fact of the matter (of which you have plainly chosen to ignore), is that this so-called game is actually classed as a "Men of War mod ", this cannot possibly be true if it is in actual fact a game. And therefore it should be removed forthwith as a 'mod' and moved to the 'games' pages as not to allure those who are looking for genuine mods. This is not a matter of time spent on the mod, or what smooth starts it gives to whoever is in charge of this shambles, It is a matter of this 'game' being shown as a free mod when in actual fact it is a game that purchased by the user. That is misleading and, in my opinion, wrong.
Also can I pick up on something you have said, and I quote "Battle of Empires took a lot of time to be completed, [probably] a lot more than any other mod you are thinking of." How could you possibly know how much time is spent on this particular mod and why this particular mod would demand more time or effort than other mods? Surely this was meant in jest was it not?
Also this mod is not, nor ever has been actually 'completed' (as you have said it took a lot of time to do). So can I advice you think about what you are going say before you textualize as not to seem whimsical.
Good Day.

It is not the fact that it 'costs so much' [sic], it is the fact that we, the public, need to pay for a 'game' that is in actual fact a mod. And the fact that it is still published on a mod website is even more deceiving.
There are plenty free mods which people have spent a long time on, but they released it free, because they care more about their 'community' than they do about money. It is not the amount of money, it is the principle. If they really loved what they were doing and cared not for the monetary reward they would reap from making this a game they would have kept it free for the public. To me (and many others I am sure) this is just a sell-out. And it saddens me to say that.

I agree, this is deceiving. A wannabe 'full game' which is actually a mod in disguise is no place for a 'free mod page'.

Money, Money, Money.
Ca-Ching!

I highly doubt it will be that successful as a full game, I just don't see many people shelling out cash for a mod-turned-full-game.
It would have been far more popular as a mod.

Money, Money, Money.
Ca-Ching!

I am sorry, but paying for a mod turned full game is ludicrous.

I have, therefore your point is invalid.
Most Humble Regards,

Hello...

Cheers.

Cheers for uploading, feels like ages. Hope it is a good un' and can revive ETW for me. Many Thanks.

How would you represent it?

Seeing as East vs. West is dead, would you be thinking of making it a HOI 3 mod in the future. It would be sad to see it die.

Any chance of adding political leader (like seen in Black Ice) that would really add to realism.
(A unit such as Nicholas II or Winhelm II that is represented on the map)

If you played the Blood and Iron mod they used the 'B' key to attach and detach the bayonet.

For King and FATHERLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
