Remember all those legendary design teams that designed such awesome scenarios and files for ES's games. They've all abandoned us... SCNPunk, Tsunami...etc. That or they've all died.

I had hoped that Merlord would rise up to be one of those legendary teams but it seems not. Now we have no legendary teams at all, we really ought to have some sort of new design team that will be so determined that they'd even make efforts to decorate their site with some fancy graphics from a graphics designer and maybe even buy a domain on the www. The legendary teams of the past had done just that and brung great files for the ES community.

It's such a shame they've all abandoned us

Please don't start discussing making a new legendary team now cos it probably won't work out...

The oldies might have abandoned you, new ones are upon us. AMBITION DESIGNS is very active at the moment.

We've received several hosting and web-design offers already, but are still exploring the www-world a bit before we buy a domain.

You might not find us a 'legendary team' yet, but I have a very good feeling about this team.

Tsunami is still there, people working on scenarios over there too.

Punk has mainly moved onto Empires/DoF.

DGDN I frankly don't know, but have seen them around a bit.

Woad also has more concentration on Empires I beleive and some members are also designing for AoM.

The only thing is that when AoK/AoK:TC were out they were the games to design for, now there are too many games for which you can design.

DGDN has a few aom scns (tloa) (mine (currently suspeneded dew to computer problems)) and many aok/tc progects, all complicated and are in the middle of doing.

DGDN is still alive and running.

www.ambitiondesigns.tkis - although the pop-up add sucks - better then http://members.home.nl/thijswestera/ambition/aye? I'm aware of the fact that it looks cheap, but I had no choice. Once the community grows, prepare for a TRUE domain :P.

Yeah Kasei, I noticed :P.

Woad still has Matei and Shiva, but I don't know if either are still working on AoM stuff, but I know Matei has planned to.

The rest of Woad is working on other games right now.

The Merlord Studios Freeware Department was closed due to development of our own game. Though I hope some fans did enjoy our work and for that we are very greatful, maybe one day we will come back to desiging another ES production, who knows?

Though for the time being, I hope everyone goodluck in there design teams and keep up the good work, I just hope some design team comes and introduces there self and shows a lot of effort and quality.

Cheers!

I'm still working for AoM at Woad too!

Although I just got RoN, so I'm going to start modding there too.

I'm glad I was on one "legendary" design team, Arcane Studios, with LoME before they fell apart.

All the teams still exist Just that they're not "legendary" anymore.

It's turns out that some of those lame n00b design teams that everyone thought would fail made it. Considering how many teams get started in an average week, it's not surprising.

Of course, I remember when Woad was considered a n00b team.

It never was. We started much before the "Make your own team" marathon, and we've gone strong since.

Yeah, Woad is on my list of legens too Bascially the 3 things to do to become legendary is probably...

  • Get truely awesome designers and release legendary files (Ulio, anyone? )
  • Make a good site
  • Get a domain (this shows you have proper determination to make this team last forever )

    Well, another reason teams may not be as well-known as before is because the community has changed. Scenarios take a very line time to make these days; therefore, people new to the community have never heard of the oldies. The older teams do not continually post on the boards either that they released a menu pack or a series of scenarios that took a week to make. You've just gotta let the scenarios talk for themselves and represent your team, and the oldies, Woad, TS, DGDN, Punk, etc. do that very well. Quality over quantity guys.

    *ahem* A legendary team is one that was arround in AoK's time. Theres only 4 that still exist today, DGDN, Woad, Punk, and Tsunami, We call those "The Oldies"

    Though all of them probably put out as much or even less content as the current new design teams that sprung up when AoM came out.
