As an AoE2 fan who randomly happened to stumble across this, whats the current status? Playable at all? Single Player? Multiplayer? Does it have it's own art assets, or do you need a copy of AoE2? I'm sure the info is out there, but I'd probably have to sort through dozens of blog posts to figure it out.

Does it draw terrain in 3D with an isometric perspective or does it use the sprite approach? How does it tell when the unit is behind or in front of the building? Does it use depth sorting?

New blogpost about the greater merges coming in the following weeks.
