    Some cool stats about our mod:

    - We've been running for a total of 2,073,600 seconds. (34,560 mins or 574 hours) and counting baby
    - A post is made every 28 views, or on average every 13 minutes.
    - If we are running as long as ETW: WW1, we will have about 46989 posts and 1.36 million views.
    - We have by a fair amount the highest post to view ratio of almost any Total War mod ever created!
    - If we are running as long as ETW: WW1, we will have around 630 releases, aquaiting to version 60.3
    - Darth Mod can kiss our , this is the new big boy in town. Got it?

    I found this on The Great War
    Thread (Source: Check at the end of the first post)( they deserve a forum).

    When are you, Darth Vader, going to be subdue by the disastrous vanilla power of NTW ????

    This is another reason for you going to NTW.

    Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

    always, there are pretenders to the throne

    a statement to power of DarthMod, it is now the new benchmark all other mods are judged by.

    17megs? tisk, tisk, it's still just a baby!

    Call me when it grows up

    Seriously tho, I hope their mod turns out well.

    I even don't like the WW1 as a setting to play. Not much difference in the units and all is done by the arty a little bit to borring for me

    Wow, I've been following that mod for a while and never noticed that. How immature and disrespectful.

    This doesn't even justify a reply. Bunch of pretentious toe rags throwing mud at DM in the hope they'll get more air play.

    Don't bother with it.

    World War 1... with... wait.. total war engine... No... no I don't buy it. Good luck with all that. I'll look into it further once NTW goes on sale for like $10-$15.

    I agree. Everybody should worship the modders behind DarthMod.

    Especially Darth Vader

    Fixed that for my plan.

    I have to wonder though... is Darth Vaders son on this competing mods dev team?

    Because ETW is a perfect engine for a WW1 game when modern combat began to evolve. Totally.

    You mean you never read the OP? It's right there. Furthermore, lighten up, that post by Mitch, quite frankly, was very tongue in cheek. Please don' take yourselves so seriously, it's very unbecoming. It's a game.

    Now, onto Darth himself, if anyone has ever read my posts, they will find that I have had nothing but positive remarks for Darth. Darth and TW have become synonomous for TW veterans.

    Let me make a few points at about the Great War and Darth.

    1) We don't compete with Darth, we are on different platforms. He has stated he does not want to mod NTW for various reasons, but that is the platform for the Great War.

    2) We don't target the same players as Darth. He focuses on enhancing the existing Vanilla's theme with more units, better AI, etc. We focus on converting the vanilla into something entirely different - WWI. So he targets people who want to play the vanilla with Darth-esque changes, we target people who want something different entirely on a TW platform.

    3) I myself was a DarthMod player until shortly before the release of NTW, at which point I left for NTW.

    4) I have frequently referred to Darth as a benchmark by which other mods and modders are to be measured. He is the driving force behind TWC's popularity, anyone who cannot see that, quite frankly, cannot see the community as a whole who with very, very few exceptions regard him as something of a resident celebrity.

    5) We have been in development for a month, Darth has been in development for years. Think about that.

    6) Mitch's remark was meant as tongue in cheek humor, get over it.

    Please don't take the words here as disparaging to the mod The Great War. Some people may get carried away, but I genuinely believed any perceived hostility is still directed at CA, or at least mine was. I do however look forward to seeing what you can do with NTW as WWI, I think, is an often neglected period of focus for modern day strategy/war games.

    Quite the contrary to what is being said here I meant my comments to be as offensive and demeaning to DM as possible.
    This is a full scale, full blown mod war here and we all know what happened to Darth Vader, his allies and the dark side now don’t we.
