St. Polycarpe, is it possible to edit the music in the mod, or will it make something incompatible?

Oh and a little bit of nitpicking, its daneaxe, not danish axe. The daneaxe is a term used by non-norse
for the long axe used by Scandinavians. The term dane was used by non scandinavians to describe
scandinavians right up until the 13th century. In other words, it was the classical "you all look the same to me" type of thinking


edit : Oh and of course blood great work!

St. Polycarpe said:

It should be compatible if you edit your own music, no problem. But if you asking me to update the submod with new music, I'm afraid I will have to say I won't. I'm here to help CHIP only and after that I'm leaving SS.

Leaving SS to mod other game or just to stop modding for awhile? Where are you at in Canada by the way?

St. Polycarpe said:

I've start my mod project, preferring to work on it instead (if you want to see it, just follow my signature; War of the West). Maybe you could give me some feedback idea for it

I live in Quebec, I'm French. Do you live in Canada too?

Ichon said:

Half my family does and I lived in Toronto for awhile. My dad is Quebecois but his family barely spoke french and he never passed it on. Went to Norway and Germany to visit my mom's side of the family as well but aside from German and some small bits of Korean and Tagalog never expanded my languages since its so easy to communicate in English most places.

Indeed, English is an easy language to learn and very versatile. That's good to see there's some Canadian here (I've always felt alone, didn't see a French Quebecois yet in TWC). Your lucky that you travel in Europe, I'm really curious to see the West and Istanbul

Ichon said:

Well I was an exchange student to Germany so that helped me travel in Europe a bit and went back later for a few months to re-visit Germany and had the chance to go to Norway/Sweden for the summer.

Istanbul is very cool. Full of history nearly everywhere you turn. Knowing German actually came in handy there... was backpacking in some remote areas where for the first time anywhere I've travel no one spoke English.

I think Aphrodisias and Sardis were the most interesting that I had a chance to visit. Turkey is moving to take more care of its ancient monuments but there are so many and it costs money. Still- you can crawl all over the place in many ruins whereas in Italy or Greece they are blocked off with fences and sometimes guards.

I've been to Europe too many times actually... visited a friend in Morocco and went on a trip with my sister to Ireland last summer. The only places I still really want to go are Spain, Alps, and Ukraine.

Hopefully can visit China soon but its more difficult to take time off from work these days then when I was only a student.

Your War of the West looks interesting- do you plan on representing more of the German Duchies? That mix of cultures and some of the building ideas look cool. How many regions do you plan for the map or is it already constructed?

Yeah, I just hope it does not continue as everything has been great for 353 turns, and I was really looking forward to a large showdown between me vs Novgorod/Sicily.

St. Polycarpe said:

Good it now works. What do you mean with "Knock on wood"?

Click to expand...

Wikipedia said:

Knocking on wood, and the spoken expression "knock on wood," are used to express a desire to avoid "tempting fate" after making some boast or speaking of one's own death. In the United Kingdom, Egypt, Ireland, India and Australia, the term "touch wood" is used.
The expression is usually used in the hope that a good thing will continue to occur after it has been acknowledged. So, for example, one might say: "The rain looks like it's holding off, knock on wood," or "Knock on wood, I'm much better now." Another example would be "I have never had to use my gun before, knock on wood."
