It's absolutely not true. Development of 3th version (Battery) is started.
English translation of RtL-version is coming soon, I guess.

You wrote it here yourself:
http://mop-drew.ru/forum/showpost.php?p=746&postcount=101
"В связи с жизненными обстоятельствами, в силу которых я скоро надолго лишусь возможности активно заниматься модом, разработка RtL сворачивается, а преждевременный релиз версии состоится в ближайшие два месяца."

So what? The semantics of post is completely different and doesn't mean "Next version will be last". RtL != full MoP. And I wrote later:
http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=15385&view=findpost&p=586824
"В моей фразе не содержится даже намёка на конец мода. Я просто переезжаю в другой город - чуть побольше, чуть поюжнее и чуть позападнее. Там у меня, скорее всего, будет безлимит, а комп едет со мною. Просто я намеренно (чтобы не обнадёживаться) пессимистично отношусь к возможности быстро вернуться к разработке и поэтому выпускаю RtL раньше времени."
By the way, RtL latest and grandest video (14.29 min)

Once again the video rocked hard but was too fast for me, I didn't catch most of the new features
I am sure that the new features are cool (you have nice ideas and more importantly you implement them in the game very potently) but I gotta express my suggestion/complaint once again: Stop adding new creatures/objects whose animations don't fit at all. Those animations that don't fit well in the eyes of the player and the whole game in general. I for one couldn't bare to play a game in such a state like this.

The main problem is lack of model makers on the team. But frankensteining or repainting is even worse than ripped units, I think.

I don't have any problems with ripped creatures, filled several of my mods with and no one playing them gave ever a complaint but instead enjoyed the visual change. Moreover, after so many years of H3 gaming, most people play with fast animations (or even instant as myself-Turbo mod rocks) so hardly notice a few extra frames in animations. Now, naturally I would prefer hand made and in perfect H3 style, but only if quality is better, until now I didn't see any except HoTA but it took ages and life is short.
For me the only turn off is when great maps/mods are released in chinese or russian only, which greatly slows down their world wide advertising. Should be done in english from start then proceed to local translations if time.

Lol.
Ripped units is the best solluton, because they are made professionally, and often are much better that H3 classic units itself.
What is bad about repainting? Grades are distinguished by color in MM/HMM. Good repaint is a good way to make grades.
Look Red Castle, it's repaintings are cool.
Frankenshteining is not very good, but some examples are outstanding. HoL castle warmachines are examples.

Right. That's why I want create next version like a totally bilingual (Eng / Rus). RtL-version is bilingual already, but only partly (creatures and spells).
Also, 90% of translation is prepared now.

That's very eclectic thinking. H3 has a STYLE, units which don't match that style look bad in game even if their resolution is higher or the level of graphical sophistication surpasses original H3 visuals. Also, the cartoonish style looks good on the game.I prefer H3 graphics to the overdesign of H6 anyday.

Preferring H3 looks to H6 may be about personal taste, yes. But expecting harmony in H3 graphics within itself is about being tasteful or not.

The last remark is very true. Now, just to remind, the huge packs of ripped creatures were done with the expectation that this huge database will serve future modders one day, especially for custom mods or scenarios, not for mass-filling them together without aesthetic or story purpose.
As for the style, the day when Slava got the wog idea, it was only a matter of time until everyone realizes (some still didn't) that the style will suffer some extensions. Then of course, artu remark is true, you extend the style tastefully or not tastefully. But in the end, it is only the audience your mod meet which will judge its qualities. Some prefer to play with little modifications, others try to exploit the immense power of erm until the game is barely recognizable. None is wrong, to each one his dreams. The only ones who are wrong are those who start criticizing, while the author spent months or even years to give a free game-extension, without any material reward or seek for glory. You play if you like, you skip if don't.

Depends on how you criticize, if you use a constructive manner the author may improve his work. Criticism is not only complaint, it's also feedback. Most mods here are still on going projects.

Yes, when I said criticize I had in mind harsh reactions as the slaughter of Grove in df2 forums, or some comments on mapsforheroes. Sometimes, is like the mod you did removed all his money in bank, they guy gets really aggressive.

So...
Order of installation of "Master of Puppets v.2 - Ride the Lightning":
1. Unpack MoP v2 RtL Installer.exe in the game catalog (SoD/Complete/WoG/ERA)
2. Unpack MoP v2 RtL Patch Final.exe
3. Unpack MoP v2 RtL Eng.exe (English language)
4. Run MoP.exe
Every part of install package is SFX RaR-archive.
Unfortunately, mod's "Unholy Bible" (user manual, PDF file, 58 pages, 27693 words) not translated on this moment, but we are working on it.

so, my nude pixies that i pixel-tailored wasn't to your liking? i find that hard to believe, as the end result, in my eyes, looked authentic to h3 style. i would even go so far to say that it looks absolutely natural, and blends well together, being that i used the def's natural colors, and blended to match.
maybe you say that because i'm not part of a high-speed group, maybe that's it.
