CREDITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(by Swolte)
Before I start a long list, I must give very special thanks to PawelS.
We have been corresponding on a daily basis for months and PawelS has been helping out with almost every aspect of the patch. His programming skills, sharp observation and analytic thinking were not only helpful in designing extra units and buildings but were helpful in testgames as well. When working on such a large project, his skills have been of great value and he certainly was a tremendous 'driving force' behind the project!
Me doing a lot of the 'Public Relations' might give the false impression of this project primarily being made by Swolte with the assistance of the teams. This, however, is not true. The project has been a product of strong cooperation and contributions from a lot of people with a lot of different skills.
BALANCE
- Arnout
- Darkmystery (invaluable in numerous testing of how abilities and spells really work! Large amounts of feedback, even when it was almost too late...)
- Jomungur

- Swolte
Special thanks to:
- Dwiggs (for his inspirational mod!)
- Kris Lighthawk (your mod was our starting point!)
- Air Warlord (multiple online testgames and long lists of excellent suggestions)

)
- All that volunteered to help play a testgame at Gamespy or private single player, and that have been a lot! At some point we could not keep track.
- All of the suggestions from the Heavengames forums from people that posted in the different threads, there are simply too many people to name! We've gone over them one by one!
Special thanks to:

))
- PawelS
- Swolte
- The Groll (Simply amazing! Nobody knew him very well, but he appeared a great teamworker, a brilliant mapmakers and a wonderful structuremaker!)

- Nojd & HeavenGames (For their help on the HG website!)
- Battlefield (For us using part of their site for development forums and helping out with the distribution! Special thanks to Horza666 and Napoleon for that!)
- Triumph Studios (I want to thank TS for making this wonderful game in the first place and their 'unofficial' support for this project. I wish them good luck with their new project!)
