The eta looks lovely, way to go!

"Finalize the civilian hats textures & export."
"Finalize the civilian hats..."
"Civilian..."

My.God.

Ofcourse Civilians or should I say, Partisans / Resistance will play a role in TK. Dutch Orange Resistance, French Marquis, Soviet Partisans, Yugoslav Communist / Loyalist Partisans e.t.c

Sturm.

But can't we have at least a couple of civs with no army equipment ? Like,civilian civilians ? Not everyone was in resistance squads or partisan,some ordinary citizens would be a pretty good entourage for urban or village maps.Just saying.

Vogel.

Its all coming along very nicely, Sturm. Great work so far!

hello, good work and when this mod will be released please ?

As soon as the required works have been completed in correspondence with the next versions 'to-do' list. So basically until the list is full of red crosses.

Sturm.

This can be my best new year gift, better than my girlfriend haha, Excellent work!!!.

Edited by: hércules96

I will try my best hercules, but there are somethings which TK just cannot come close to emulating

Sturm.

Possible to see in in AS1 this year?

Or only in AS2 next year?

I hope it is the first, it was promised by you Sturm, I hope you keep your word I'd even wait for next year if you do it both games.

Edited by: Lucianus
