Help needed for porting a 2D TBS/RTS game written in VB 6.0

Hi, I am posting here, because the game The Kings of the Dark Age (KODA) has a chance of getting released under the GPL (code and media) if a team of developers can be found, who will port the game from Visual Basic 6.0 to a portable language. (C++ and Python was proposed by the game's developers.)

If you are interested in supporting the project, or want to learn more about it and the plan to port it, please visit the forum thread about releasing the source on the official forums or the wiki page on FreeGameDev, which tries to combine in a nutshell, what might be relevant for interested developers.

If you whish to help porting the game, I suggest that you introduce yourself at the official forums. You are also welcome to join the discussion about this game on the FreeGameDev forums.

It would be nice to find VB6-devs, who are interested in helping porting the game to C++ or Python.

Here are two screens of the game's battles:
