Wasn't Improved Anvil 4.0 supposed to be released today?

Google finds nothing and the dragon's hoard is down... someone knows more?

You can send Baronius or Sikret a PM via these boards and point them to this thread so that they can provide information to all who are interested in the mod.

Yes, the mod was supposed to be released on Friday (March 16), but BWL went down and offline. Really sorry for the delay.

The site will be online again (hopefully) soon. Now that the site is down I am using my time to add more new features to the mod. I had decided to postpone adding those new features to IA v5, because we already had much delay. But now I think it's better for me to add them rather than sitting idly. thetruth is also testing the new features. Moreover, I will also be going to a short journey on tuesday and will be back next saturday. Hence, the mod will be released when: (1) The site is online again & (2) the new features are fully tested & (3) I'm back from the short journey.

Thanks for your patience.

There might be a big delay in mod releases, unfortunately. Please read "more" here (http://www.sorcerers2.net/blackwyrm_mirror/)

^This is so sad. Well...I think there is little we can do but wait. At least we know it will be well worth it!

Thanks for the interest in IA, everyone.

I've justed added new features to the "Improved Gromnir" and "Improved Yaga-Shura" components of the mod.

Thanks to thetruth, the "Epic divine encounter" is now fully tested and approved. You will see Epic Divine Encounter in Pocket Plane just before going to face Melissan in the game's final battle. It's a true and big challenge.

I'm now in the middle of implementing the "Improved Illasera" and I should say that all credits of this component goes to thetruth, because this component is designed by him. He has sent me a detailed list of "who does what" and "who has what" agenda for this particular component. In fact, while fighting with Illasera you will be playing against thetruth's tactical genius and talent. (But of course the machine cannot perform thetruth's tactical instructions perfectly; so, we can still win the battle ;) )

I will continue to keep you informed of the mod's progress here.

Cheers

Heh thanks for the kind words Sikret ;) , though one thing is to ask: "Sikret can you do that ?" and another to actually do it.

The first takes only a few minutes, the later usually some hours of hard work.

Now I am reaaaly scared! I don't know if I.Illasera will be so tough, but there are at least a couple of battles later in ToB of which you should be scared. ;)

At least I was of a certain Epic divine encounter. :mommy:

But, as always, you studied and considered every detail of events in that encounter and managed to find the right tactics to win even that (extremely difficult) battle in a most genius way without asking for any tips or hints from me. :cool: :good:

This mod looks like it's shaping up to blow every other content and difficulty adding mod totally out of the water. :D

Coding ability of sikret + best BG2 player as tester = awesomeness... can't wait!

Thanks nataben1314 ;)

Though the testers of IA are actually 4.
Mordokai,me and 2 other guys (sorry don't remember their names).
But I don't think that we have the best BG2 player among us :p

^You are too modest, thetruth. :)

IA mod is getting more yummier by each day, I think when it comes out officialy it will be the number one mod for so many players!

Yes, Sikret has added some much new content that BG2, only with IA installed, is a completely new game ;)

Can't wait for the release of the mod!
(No wait, I already have the mod :D )
