From the east came the Empire, their mecha and weapons soon overwhelmed the defenders of the Allied Kingdoms but, they were beaten.
Three warrior from the Kingdom Domen stood against the tide of chaos when no one else could. Wielding the powers of the eight great elements of mana, the heroes beat back the empire. However, the aftermath of what we today call the Second Imperial War was high indeed. The Empire lies in ruins, the allied kingdoms threaten to break apart from within, and Mana, the source of all magic, has vanished.

WOW. The imagery provided for this mod is stunning. The expansiveness and detail of the maps looks like it really immerses you in the world. Sooo can't wait for this one to come to bear. And yeah...any connection to the series of games by Square-Enix?
Maybe we are indeed inspired by one of thise games you meantioned ;)
Would imagen that it's based on the SNES/PSX Mana series. Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore("SoM2") and Secret of Mana 3(never translated to english) for the SNES and Legend of Mana for the PSX.
It kind of reminds me of a game "Legend of Mana" that I use to play on Playstation. Any connection there?
oooh strange ive never seen this great mod before :p meh there are so many for source but this sure one of the ones you really should try out :p keep it up :p
This mod is turning out really nice guys, only mod i'm really looking forward to now.
I wish HL2 could work using OpenGL...... :_(
Nice mod. But HL2... (
The only thing I would really like to see added to this game is HDR support. I don't know how hard it is to reimplement this into all the maps, but it would be very awesome, and I think this game, especially with its fantasy setting, would look great.
Wow this rocks dudes! keep going and good luck
A way that we will use to share the finished mod will also be torrent. Works fine for great files. However. There will be no problem to get it when its finished. But you have to wait a little bit more^^
