We have handed off ME 1.01 to Matrix/Slitherine.  Vetted the installer too.  Public release should come soon.  It depends on M/S' schedule, however.

Just out:

Nice to see released...will have to try and return to playing sometime soon...

WOW!!

:o


That terrain mod looks amazing for wargaming pixel art purposes.  I actually enjoy such well done 2D pixel art.  O0


Really need to move this title up higher on my purchase list.

The graphics look much better, and to be honest the release graphics were a substantial improvement over the original Divided Ground. This moves it up a level. O0 Time to get my patch!

That 3D mod looks absolutely amazing in game. For the first time we have a Campaign Series game that looks great in all views, 2D and 3D. Really nicely done, both by the CS:ME team and modders!

Thank you for your kind comment  :)

Yes, while 1.00 was not in anyway a rushed release, there were just so many little details we had to leave for the 1.01 UPDATE. How the game now looks and behaves is so much more in what we wanted to achieve in the first times place.

And the mods are starting to come too 

Happy times!

I need a "gimme" emoticon very badly right now...

Here it is:

Ode To AIW Terrain and Counters Mod (2D Zoom-In View Only)

It only supports maps with base elevations of 0, 1 and 2, true to the AIW map boards. I put three scenarios quickly together to try this out (included in the mod):



Let me know what you think  :)

CS Middle East is very modder friendly, and among the documents and guides available to modders I did a thread explaining how this was done.



A pic from there:



Was good fun  :D

So...we really need Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader mods for CS now. Hint...  ;D

[savatee]

Played Bir Gigafa! Great fun. Now, again, as the Egyptians! Let's have more like this! And YES to PB/PL! Thanks for all your work!

[Crossroads]

So it is not only me then who's all  about this then...

That is great to hear, I am glad you guys are enjoying this too!

Oh yes, having PB  and PL mods available to East Front 3.0 and West Front 3.0 is reason alone to have them done  O0

But meanwhile, it would be great to have all the AIW situations converted. So need to get  on that then, no excuses.

Just got the update installed (was in the middle of a PBEM game) and all I can say is "Nicely done!"   O0

Thank you Al, a lot of TLC went to the update (too)  :)
