Just a heads-up to those who will give this mod a try. The next version will most likely be the final version of this mod. SR2 has been out for some time and I only stopped working on the B.Net version cause players on B.Net would rather play Dota, more Dota, another AOS remake and the random Footmen Wars rip-off's floating around.

Just a heads-up to those who will give this mod a try. The next version will most likely be the final release for this mod. SR2 has been out for some time now and I only stopped working on the B.Net version because players on B.Net would rather play Dota, more Dota, another AOS remake and the random Footmen Wars rip-off's floating around.

So the reasons why I decided to make one final update for this mod are:
1) I will start working on a standalone (commercial) version with SP/MP/CO-OP of SR after this. Even though I am working on another standalone game, I intend to use that game as a base for SR game in the future.

2) I refuse to let all the work I put into this mod goto waste just because Wc3 community is more interested in mods with new models/skins or same old Dota remakes. So to please the crowd one last time, the next version will be SP only with all the added bells and whistles of the other mods.

SP only? Yes. 0.8v will be kept online as a MP version. 0.9 will also support MP but the size of the map will not let you play on B.Net, so you will be limited to lan play or something. The SP version will include all the high-res skins and models I added in one of the unreleased updates along with new AI changes for SP mostly, gameplay updates for SP pace. The people who have played this mod have always given the AI a try and have spent most of the time playing against AI in SP. This is like people who spend time playing UT offline with bots. So I should have supported the offline play a long time ago instead of wasting time pleasing the B.Net crowd. SP it is then, maybe I will even throw in some quests if that's not too much work (ie. it will be too much work).

SR's focus was to keep it simple, mix all the best mods out there into one map, and to give the player a detailed unholy arena to battle in. I pretty much accomplished all that, now to finish the job. Hopefully, those who play SP maps will enjoy this more than B.Net players.
