Hey,
I'm writing this post because it's really hard to get up-to-date english information on whats going on with WoG because the majority of the community seems to be russian/chinese/polish. So here are my questions, as far as I know this is the official WoG forum, so I guess this is the best place to ask them:

1. What's going on with WoG 3.59? Any progress, expected release dates, feature lists, anything? As far as I know you finally managed to add new towns to HoMM and already have one town (Bastion) pretty much done. Is there anything else I should know?
2. What about HotA? As far as I understand, it's another yet-to-be-released mod for HoMM3. Is there a HotA<->WoG compatibility planned so we can enjoy the features of both mods? Why don't you guys work together instead of working in two seperate groups that don't seem to share much of their progress?
3. What about VCMI? As you probably know, it's an not-yet-finished open source reimplementation of the HoMM 3 engine. Are there any plans to use it? It should be a lot easier than binary editing HoMM's .exe...
4. Finally, could somebody explain me what Phoenix Mod and Era platform do and if they're available in English?
   

I hope you can help me with my questions...
Thanks in advance, mots
