From the creators of the 'Command and Conquer 3' mod 'Mideast Crisis 2' 'Geistkrieg: A Shadow Over Egypt' is a fantasy WW2 Real-Time Strategy game to be released on the Starcraft 2 Arcade. Fight across Egypt as the scifi-powered Allies or as the fantasy-based Reich with many new, creative units and abilities.
Hey, I'm team lead on Geistkrieg (I also do much of the game design, and all of the textures). While this is the first project for Starcraft 2 we'll release, we've been modding RTS for a long long time for the 'Command and Conquer' series. Our last major project was 'Mideast Crisis 2' for CNC3 (link below);
So far I have to say that Starcraft 2's engine, while not perfect, and lacking a lot of documentation, has allowed us to do things we never could've for CNC games. Geistkrieg has been a lot of work (both art and code) but it's finally coming together.
The plan is to release a rough, public, Allies-only alpha in the near future. By rough we mean; probably no new infantry (animations are killing us atm), particlefx or sound (not going to tackle that yet). The goal is to slowly add on and iterate from there.

smurfbizkit Hey how's it going?
hi, if you're looking for an update on this project it's probably dead for now. If we're lucky in the future one of us could pick it up again as a retail project in some form, but neither Simon or I have time for it and making a full scope RTS costs too much time and money these days sadly.
Thanks for the reply :)
Yes I was wondering what had become of this project. It looked really good just like Mideast Crisis2 that I played again. I can imagine the huge effort and time that can sink into this. Damn its been ten years since I first played one of your mods. Nice that you're still around :D

Hey guys, was looking trough again and really loved what you're doing. Will try to spread the word around, perhaps post on the old MEC 2 page.
Anyway, voted and good luck working on it. Seeing something before the end of the year would be an added bonus.
Good luck.
