    Impressive it only took 400 hours to recreate not only the entire map, but also 50 quests.

      I was about to say the same thing. 10 working weeks of human time to make a large project is amazingly short.

    I love hearing about stuff like this. Besides the time and dedication, it’s impressive that everything looks authentic to Skyrim while being made entirely from AOE2 assets.

    Looks cool and when it’s out I’ll download it. But holy shit, that page had an ad like every other line I’m the article.

      Firefox Mobile + uBlock origin. I didn’t see a single ad.

        I used hermit to make a web app for kbin. I’ll have to see if I can have it open links in Firefox! Thanks for the tip!

          Or on Android check out adguard, blocks ads systemwide. That includes in app ads. I couldn’t live without it anymore.
          I can’t remember what the free version is missing but I bought a lifetime license and it was well worth it.
