any update on the Golden Century?
« on: 04 December 2018, 21:27:25 »
I have not seen anything new since Aug-Sep on a Golden Century (TRO?).  I would love to have an update.

Still in the works. I'm waiting for the dev-reviewed draft to come to me for editing. Should be any day now.

AGREED.

This sounds very promising.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

Is it only going to contain extant Mechs? Are we getting some new designs and/or variants? Stuff that went extinct for whatever reason?

A thread is out there discussing the specifics- or at least what we have been given.

The only hard part is that Jaguar Bloodname we can't mention in conjunction with the Century.

Will there be a lot of new artwork in the Golden Century TRO? Also, how many pages or total entries are we looking at? If we include the "C" type variants, prototypes, and SL era conversions on top of new Omni and 2nd Line designs we could potentially have an easy 300 pages of clan goodies to read through.

Some. A bit.

We haven't disclosed the final number of entries, but it won't be anywhere near that many. Larger than an XTRO, smaller than a "regular" TRO.

Mmmm.
Due the art, would be there existing art used for known designs (e.g. C-variants of SL designs)?
