Sorry for the late reply, Thank you so much for your encouragement.
BTW, if you have the chance, it would be great for all people who want to support this mod to sign onto ModDB, and rate this mod a slightly higher rating than you would normally provide.
I request this because we are under troll attacks, i.e. people who are having past grudge against the project, intended on smear campaign us by providing the lowest ratings possible. One of the trolls is a confirmed pirate who wants to hijack Amazons Total War as his own. He released an old 6.0 mod by copying our work verbatim and added two load screen pictures. Moddb as well as Strategy Informer have both removed his releases.
Just to show what damage can such an attack do, for example, we were having a "10 out of 10" rating for the first three months of release, because it is a new title, we do not have many rating entries, so just a few people who rate the project with minimum rating would sink the mod's popularity.
As a result, we lost about 6,000 visitations everyday until more people gradually add the "10" rating to bring the current rating a bit higher.
We are now barely the top 5 mod because of this malicious ratings.
