I am pretty sure that this applies to EAW as well - frankly I don't know where you come by your information; it isn't from official sources, and based upon what I know about EAW in general, you have never had any official connection with that series whatsoever -and mind you, I would know this.

I was addressing Xaver in terms of graphics- and frankly, I can categorically say that you have no idea at all what you are talking about. No one is going to talk about 'modders' and published graphics in the same sentence, ever.

I know that there are other things that have a higher priority than working with the EAW series, and you need to ask yourself why that might be that I would know that. It doesn't mean that it can't happen, it doesn't mean that it won't happen, and the rest of it -isn't even worth addressing.

Not sure why you from time to time have to shine with such unappropriated post. Your presumptuous way of telling be that I allegedly know a **** is nice, but keep it for yourself unless you want to officially state something that contradicts my info.

I stand by what I said, if one thinks just because another series got a lot stuff that stuff would be "easy to port" over to any other series he is just nuts and has not the slightest clue of programming. Go ask Berto or John, if all that programming would to so easy WDS would have graped all of Tiller's portfolio and not just some. And they would by now have put all the improvements, like the UI, into all other games.

And what Rich stated was for the SB series, it has nothing to do with this series. But what he mentions was already common knowledge before, WDS is full and labor is a problem, like it always was and like it always will be as JT seems do to all the programming himself. So unless JT plans to make programming a much bigger priority than the years before all the candy from WDS isn't coming to this series, but you can always ask Santa Claus for it....

And talking about published graphics and modders, who do you think made all the new graphic stuff for Petersburg? You seem to have no clue because that is all routed to Team Banshee. If WDS would not have come up with incorporating TB's stuff officially into the games, like other modder stuff was also officially added, then TB would likely have released it as mod, like the many other mods they did for all the CW games.
So again, if you think we suddenly see new art, in the way of the recent graphic improvements from WDS, for a series that is soooooo long out but that afaik Team Banshee never ever made any graphics for, then you are dreaming. Unless of course you foudn another modder doing it.
The TB guys surely have better things to do, you should know it, is or isn't the CW series set to be updated to the level of Petersburg? Ass full of work I would say, what surely has priority over a series that WDS hasn't acquired at all.


Not sure what you post is all about, this kind of self-congratulation is just a waste of anybodies time. If you think it would harm business to set the people back on the ground instead of letting them hunt high flying dreams, well that is your problem. I neither stated that this series is dead nor that it would never get any updates anymore. It is just a fact that waiting for all the WDS candy to appear here, and this in the foreseeable future, is just a dram, a nice dream but just a dream.
And I doubt that there is any official interest in telling the customers & potential customers to dream this dream while the next round of updates isn't even on the to-do list.
If you want to let the kids dreaming I don't mind, sooner or later it's time to tell them that there is no Santa Claus.
