    Default don't you afarid of competition?

    Team, don't you afraid of competition with the mod "Peoples Of God"?
    This mod is also about the Mideast and it has more interesting factions.

    With AD and Strelac, and Mirage's scripting and mapping madness (Not sparta - Nishapur!), I'm hardly afraid of any competition.

    I'm curious to see the mod, as I've never heard of it.

    Would be nice if you could post a link to said mod. But i have faith in BC, they are after all in my view the EB of MTW2. -Leon

    It is on "Mods in development" in the ORG.

    They sound Interesting, but they do not seem to have any posts on their official forum since october 2006.

    I wouldn't say they have more interesting factions. Not that they are less interesting than ours - I like their shi'ites, but their choice of focusing on the western near east loses the chance to feature something like Khwarezmia or the Rajputs. If they are not in permanent hibernation, then they'll give players the chance to play some of the factions we could not feature due to our timeline. They're focusing on the Crusades at an earlier period, we're focusing on the Crusaders at a later period as well as the Indian affairs, and Khwarezmia affairs.

    Either way, it's no worry at all.

    More interesting factions? I dunno about that, Kypchaks, Rajputs, Makuria, those are all pretty interesting. Plus AD and Strelac are basically the best skinners/modellers for M2TW and they're BOTH on the team.

    Strelac's reply pretty much sums up how I feel about competition.

    I don't want to sound like a competitive prick, I assure you I am not (kind of wish I was), but I get to play the current version of BC and having played mods since the ancien' days of RTR 1.0 I know an instant classic when I see one. BC is exactly that, and not thanks to me, but thanks to AD and Strelac.

    Couple of points:

    - The mod you mentioned is effectively dead as far as I can see and thus not even on our radars.
    - The said mod has "faction preview" without a single in-game image.
    - Even if it did have more interesting factions it doesn't mean jack if they haven't shown any progress.
    - They don't have more interesting factions. BC has and will always have some of the most unique and fun factions ever made for TW. Big claim, but when BC 1.0 is released you will believe.

    So, no, we're not at all afraid of any competitions.

    First reason being that most other mods haven't made even close to the progress we've made - which I'm not saying spitefully, BC has been blessed by the gods/allah/jesus for having AD and Strelac on the team - two guys who are basically pros.

    Secondly, this is modding, we're not really even interesting in competing - each mod out there has its own unique vision and and unique aim and we wish the best for them all.

    As far as the mid-east arena is concerned, we're not even bothered by CA's crusades campaign since BC covers so much more than just the crusades (which was really small potatoes in the whole scheme of the medieval middle-east) so any similar mods are a long way off before offering us a challenge.

    haha Any competition? the only mod I would say is a rival or friendly competitor to BC is the CAE; as both seem to be more advanced than the other mods in all aspects ( no offense)
    The difference is that the CAE focuse on the regular Areas and BC on the ME/ ( former Persian areas, I saw that the same map is often used to describe Ahaemid areas in history books)
    Independence, freedom, Aryan republic!
    Socialism, Feminism, Anti-Rascism!
    It is the structures of Capitalism who make the class, race and gender struggles neccesary. I personally refuse to accept that I will have approximately 17% less money each month because I am Middle Eastern, I refuse to accept that if a girl is raped the rapist blames it on her clothing, and I refuse to accept that the working class is the slave of the modern society- thats why I believe in Socialism, thats why call myself a Feminist and thats why I am Anti-rascist.

    While I'm sure CAE is a great mod, I don't think it's even in the same ballpark as BC.

    Well I mean compared to other mods released CAE tops them all, the thing is very advanced and worked with great. I mean the only mod that might be able to reach up to the BC mod is the CAE one.

    But the thins is they are concentrating on different areas, so i don't think BC has any "threats" to itself, Besides the children of gods mod= not good. I mean when i read " Emirate of Iranians" I was like= Emirate of Iranians? Have I missed 200 years of history or did the arabs, mongols or turks even use the word" Iranians" referring to their nation. And who are the Daneshmands? in persians that means University students.

    I hate to drag this on, but you seriously don't have a clue.

    BC is a total conversion mod with a brand new map, game mechanic, AOR, skins, models, and 16+ new factions and 215+ new units.

    As I said, we're not in the same ballpark and you can forget about competition - there isn't any.

    Excuse me my intervention but since i work for another mod i want to say something ...
    1) we are ( we modders ) basically a group of people that are "wasting" time for a game ... much like other people spend time making crosswords or gardening or talking of football . in few words we do it because we like it , we know that we are doing nothing for the future , in 4-5 years we will play and mod other things ...always while we follow real life pleasures .
    2) there arent better mods or worse mods ... the only mod that is worth for each one of us is the mod we are playng ... we arent payed for how many people are playng our mod even if of course is a satisfaction to read that someone really appreciate what we are doing , but none of us search self estimation doing a mod ( i hope so ) ... just make something he like .
    3) of the planned mods just 5-10% reach a final release ... the half stop because the modders went bored of the game or scaried by the work that was needed ... the other half were opened just to blablabla , to make an auto-interview , to post some great ideas and to debate about a region name , but there never was the willing to carry things to an end .
