Patron : PatricianS

PatricianS Hi Guys,

I have never tried to patronise anyone before but I feel I simply must try on behalf of Kepper.

Kepper is a great guy and he has been a good friend since he joined the Rome Total Realism team. He started as a beta tester with little knowledge about modding, however, he learns fast and has since released his own submod of RTR VII The Iberian Conflict called New Power. It was at its release that he joined the developers team and we have since come to work very closely together.

Kepper is a very pro-active guy which is an excellent quality. For example, when you make a suggestion of some element in a mod (maybe a suggestion for a faction), before you even have the chance to reread the post for any possible spelling mistakes, Kepper has already implemented the idea in the mod. Mostly this results in a fast progress of the mod.

Another reason why Kepper is so valuable, is that he is prepared to do those annoying, repetitious jobs that can be so tedious. As an example, at one stage we had a set of about 100 regions on the map that were all left without buildings. Adding all buildings to all cities at the same time didn't work because it resulted in an error, which meant that every settlement had to be added individually. However Kepper took up the task and finished it in record time.

For all above reasons I would be very proud if he became a citizen of TWC and I would be honoured to be his patron!

Regards,
Pat

Kepper Hello,

My name is Kepper and I wish to apply for the honour of becoming a Citizen of TWC's great community. It has been my privilege to have been a member of the RTR family for well over a year now, starting as a beta tester and now a fully fledged developer and I like to think that I have made a useful contribution to that great team, and to one of the best mods for RTW.

RTR VII: The Iberian Conflict

I also created a mod for RTR VII: TIC, called "New Power".
Some of the changes I made are:

Two more playable factions, of which one starts as a horde.
Three new regions.
For the next version all factions will be playable.

Here is a link to the thread where my mod is located: RTR VII: TIC - NEW POWER (a sub-mod for TIC 1.1)

RTR VII: Fate of Empires

I did create most UI building icons, of which those are a few examples:

Example

I also changed some skins of units:

Example

Code in many units in the govt building, many buildings and there bonus,
Some region are code in my.

Rome Total Realism VII

In the next (not yet released) campaign of the RTR team, all UI cards for ancillaries will be redone. Here are a few examples of my work:

Example

Other work I did on this mod so far includes:

I did code in many of the characters of the new factions*.
I did the code work for all new "mini-regions" in RTR VII.
I coded most new complex government systems for the new factions.
The new tribes and character names for some of the Tribal factions are added by my.

* New factions = factions that were not yet present in the mod RTR VII: Fate of Empires but will be present in the next release. This are approximately 11 additional factions.

Here you can see a couple of the mini-regions I coded in the Greece are of the new RTR VII map:

Kepper

First impression on this guy is that he seems like a good candidate for the title of Artifex but i will do some more investigation on him.

Edit : He has no active warnings.

**Justinian** · February 04, 2010, 03:36 PM

He looks very good so far based on the work he shows in his paragraph. Have to look into him more but I am leaning towards a yes.

**Legio** · February 04, 2010, 03:37 PM

Yes. I've worked alongside him, albeit only in the betatesting environment. He is amazing and friendly.

**Gertrudius** · February 04, 2010, 04:04 PM

His work looks to be more than ample, and he has an excellent attitude and seems like an all around good candidate. I'm a tentative yes, but I have to do more research.
