Generally speaking, if anyone can do 2D illustrations or has someone they know they can recommend, let me know - we'll want to redo the logo and banner for one so it's not owned by Microsoft.

On a separate note - if someone has experience creating SMF forum themes, let me know, and I can pay to have it done.  Would be interested to get the forum + site maybe looking like it did originally at its peak:

Thanks - but at this point I'm more interested in trying to build it into a standalone game.  Constantly updating the mod to keep up with every patch or expansion that might get released is just not sustainable.

Does the old map not work anymore? Doesn't seem like they did anything new

with DE.

Hi pftq,
I make maps for aoe3 and have had some people inquire about old maps and scenarios. I found fort wars but it doesn’t load on DE and the code is, well, intense! Not sure if you’re interested in updating it to make it work for DE or not. I’m not sure where to begin tbh.

Also, not sure who I emailed about your np rush maps but I’ve been admiring your work from way back.

I'm starting to transition to working on this.  I'll start by hiring out bits and pieces to get foundation going.  Does anyone have recommendations for the following?
- 2D artist for concept art / illustrations
- RTS engine work or transforming the UE4 engine for that.  Current UE4 isn't meant for high unit count or pvp networking.
- 3D modeler for units with AOE/AOM aesthetic.

Hi,

Just curious if there's any plan to revive fort wars for aoe3:de? Would love to play with people, and with the renewed interest in aoe3 overall, seems like a good opportunity to revitalize fort wars as well.

Currently cutting my teeth with a VR arena game - was a good refresher for how to make a ladder from scratch which will no doubt look familiar.
