Right after most modifications are released, developers find themselves aware of something that could have made things better. Whether it's simple glitches that weren't found or parts of history that were overlooked, the developers at Knights and Barbarians want to avoid second thoughts. The way this is done is fairly simple: critique and develop everything extensively. This is where you come in.
Observers know everything. Just ask them, and they'll likely have an opinion. The developers want to hear your opinions - your thoughts and ideas. Specifically, the development team is looking for designers interested in helping draft civilizations and provide better insight. Those aren't the limits. Anyone interested in helping can play a part in Knights and Barbarians. You have the ability to drastically influence development for the best.
If you're interested in contributing, there are a number of ways. You can leave comments at any one of the Knights and Barbarians threads found at any Age of Empires III fansite. Simply discussing Knights and Barbarians helps. If you're interested in the aforementioned position that helps draft game mechanics and features, the development team would like for you to simply send a small draft or outline to me at general.second@gmail.com. Just show that you understand game elements and are interested in helping. The development team can't wait to see what we get.
