Thread: 10,000 downloads :D Competition time

  1. #1

    Default 10,000 downloads :D Competition time

    There's now been around 10,000 downloads of FKoC (1.0 and 1.5 combined)!

    For a mod based in a time period few care about, with the subject being a war that even fewer know anything about, involving only one nationality, 2 factions, 1 culture and very little unit variation, it's quite incredible.

    I'm happy my little toddler of a mod can please so many and I really hope that the community here will update it periodically.

    To celebrate reaching 10K downloads, I've decided to hold a screenshot competition.

    There are 3 categories.

    1) Unedited
    2) Edited
    3) Comedy

    No more than 1 screenshot per category. Feel free to post a screenshot in 1, 2 or all of the categories. After a week I'll close this thread and open 3 polls, one for each category so we can choose the winners.

    Good luck and I look forward to seeing all screenshots.

    Cheers

    Why, you shouldn't be surprised! It's a wonderful mod you've done!

    Congratulations, AD. Your mod was presented in the GameStar magazine here in Germany as a mod you (we) can play while waiting for Empire. Your mod isn't the biggest or the most difficult, I think, but it's the most remarquable just because, how you said, it's about a war nobody knows about and everybody wants to know what a mod with only two similar factions looks like. The other mods only improve MedII.
    Germany thanks you for the great job you did (although you've found it relaxing as you wrote).

    Thanks for all that took the time in this comp. Apologies that I didnt declare a winner, there just wasn't enough entrants to have any really competition.

    If I ever get back into TW modding, y'all be getting beta's long before anyone else.

    Cheers

    There have now been about 25,000 copies of FkoC downloaded! Just awesome!

    That's 25,000 people that might have learnt a little bit more about the ECW!

    Honestly, AD, I don't know of any greater compliment, than what you have just spoken. If people know more about ECW then they realize the progress which took us to how things have become what they are today.

    If the King had won early, then the parliament would have been destroyed and England would have become just another absolute monarchy like there were in the rest of Europe.

    If Cromwell's sons were left to rule, then a tyrrany would be imposed upon the land sooner rather than later.

    As it happened, King returned but in a land that would never again tolerate absolutism, whereas the fanatic Parlamentarians would migrate in Amerika (I had read somewhere some time ago that the parlamentarians and former Cromwell followers were more often than not thrown out of their homes by the King's authorities), which led to the creation of the U.S.A. (Cromwell's revenge, one could say even if that might sound far fetched). U.S.A. then paved the way to the modern world, and hopefully the future one.

    It's good to know when it all started and how. Thank you so much AD!

    Congratulations. I've always been an ECW fan, but it was fun to see it in 3-D!

    The 25000 downloaded is absolutely a reflection of the quality of this mod. Congrats AD!

    Btw I don't think that the Parliament would've been destroyed if the King had won, and its destruction was never Charles' goal in the first place. You can see from the views of Clarendon and other mixed-constitutionalists that they would've never stood for dismantling the Houses. The war broke out because it was the Parliament who seemed to be unhappy with a king.


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
    -Samuel Adams

    I agree. What's amazing is the effect it had on the American colonies. I've been studying that over the last six months.
