2) Sebastian a member of Wolves is bugging me for a long time to get something done into the direction of RPG elements for his own mod, he may be someone who would be able to help keeping things alife. Have a look at his mod "Battle of Europe", i would think here in terms of a merger, that but with the clear goal to have a M&B2 mod later on too and castles and towns really existing in Europe. Overall how it would look like is open for discussion i guess, Sebastian has some graphical artists but is lacking coders so you both may benefit.
3) 2) depends storngly on the answer in 1) if you would let die of cRPG/strategus there will be the intent then to implemented in BoE, elements of an RPG and of a Strategy game, then still with your influence as you made the groundwork for so many amazing concepts. I personally would prefer that cRPG/Strategus stays alife, as i just invested too much of my lifetime in this game and this community and aslong i don't see the new game i am not sure that i would then just switch to that one or BoE. Nolifers also have structures they can't just let go ;) .

My personal offer is that i can bring people together have a look out for suitable additions for your team and help finding common ground. This is basicly what i do in this comminity in terms of Strategus and Clan Leading anyhow. In addition i still would like to be part of a test crew when you choose to organizee that a bit more professionally.
If you think that would be something you want or need send me pm with requests and we could talk more private also on teamspeak "cotgs.de" or in steam(kinngrimm).
I remember the time around february/march 2012 when I had endless discussions with Kinngrimm, about making a new mod similar to crpg but with a huge amount of new features and realistic gameplay.
Kinngrimm was very interested in developing sophisticated RPG mechanics while I was more interested in making the mod very realistic and historically accurate.
We would like to port the "good" things of Strategus over to BoE and enhance them, if the development of it really stops or already has stopped.
This is in no way a type of propaganda against crpg, we are just interrested in continuing the great work of strategus if it's development really stops.
We definently will develope our mod also for M&B 2, so the future is safe
As kinngrimm said, we only have a few programers (Sebastian, kinngrimm and another guy), but more 2d/3d artists and historical consultants...
This seems to be a common problem of the modding scene... you will find alot of guys with good knowledge about modeling and texturing,
but getting a capable programer is a difficult and long task.
This is the big difference of modders and indie game devs. The most modders are 2d/3d artists and the most of the indie game developers are programers.
