Coming Soon: 

"The Tale of Archon" is planned to be released in late 2004.
It will feature 12 great cinematic maps. 
It will be several hours long.

TTOA may be released in two parts, depending on how long it actually ends up
being. As about halfway through the cinematic there is a point in which
it could easily be split up into two parts. The second part would then be 
released later.

This version does not include a custom loading screen, or minimap preview, but
in the final version these files will be included.
