Not as dead as this forum. But yeah, AW is pretty much dead. It isn't popular in its home country, Days of Ruin didn't come out in said home country, and the only ROM hacks we've seen are minor edits and map packs.
Compared to Fire Emblem, there's plenty of ROM hacks for that game, plus a sequel is coming on the 3DS. I'd love to see AW get a sequel, but it just isn't likely at the moment.
Well, we still have Commander Wars and AWBW, at least.
