for any other mod I'd assume he was being sarcastic but suspect its true on this one

congrats to the team, on a long awaited and wonderful looking mod!

Damn.

Why does it have to be for RTW:Alexander?

**zznɟ ǝɥʇ** · October 13, 2007, 08:37 PM

So you can have heroes!

It does not. You can remove a couple of files (lose the heroes) and play it with 1.5. Not that easy as it sounds but I'm currently working on it...

Considering how cheap Alexander is by now I don´t see that as much of a problem. It wouldn´t be the first game I buy for its mod(s).

Hmm maybe... but I don't think a lot of people are prepared to spend (even) 5 bucks just for a mod because of hype... I mean... I have no idea whether this is gonna be quality or not.

Hell I'm not spending 6 hours torrenting Alexander for it either.

As someone said it will probably work on 1.6 (I would hope your using BI features...) with a bit of tinkering.

Take my word for it, it's well worth five bucks..

I would pay more than that. Unfortunately for me there is no way of obtaining it (being in Taiwan and all)...

**zznɟ ǝɥʇ** · October 14, 2007, 11:26 AM

Yeah, for those that can get a copy (basically everyone, poor Garb

) it's worth it. I bought by copy back in March for it and haven't regretted it once.

And you know it can only improve...

as soon as you get that to work could you PM me on how to do it, or send me the files please.

**Arakorn** · October 14, 2007, 01:33 PM

Can't you get a digital copy of Alex, Garb? (Lol, two names in a row

)

Wasn't it originally going to be distributed digitally only?

Sorry if I'm not allowed to post this, but couldn't you go through some proxy server to get around that?

I will try that; as long as there is no requirement to provide an address matching my credit card (and subsequent exclusion of addresses outside the designed geographical limits) it may work...
