A plea

[stormbringer951]

Modders, please. Pool your resources. I know each mod should remain special and different but cool feautres from mods like the crowns and swords from DLV and the BBB traitlines. But it would make great mods even better if some central ideas were shared between mods. I don't mean hand in all your great work, but the groundwork for it.

For example, EB's trait-matrix is a great idea. A few tutorails on how this great RTW team did it would be awesome. The events from Anno Domini. Some pointers on these things would be nice. And there should be a few less mods. I know there are the fun v realism groups, but have some realism mods cater towards different things, with small redux and addon packs for added realism.

Wouldn't it be awesome if RC and Lusted, Darth etc. AI stuff got merged into an actual really good AI for M2TW? That's the srot of thing I think off

I'm sure if mod-B asked mod-A nicely if they could sample from mod-A's ___ then mod-A might consider collaborating...

from what I have seen, a massive pooling of resources doesn't always work out... if a mod needs help in a department, i think they should/could kindly ask modders with that department as their specialty if they could help out
but I think the Mod Squad is doing ok, and they are also making Broken Crescent I think
but don't take my word for it

but its a nice idea...

What I mean isn't neccessarily sharing all cool stuff, but just the things that ought to be there. For example, the trait fixes the SS team are planning. The current trait system is horrifically broken.

The battle AI. I'm sure the AI mods all have their own strengths and weaknesses, but if we managed to put them together, we should be able to create The AI for TW. That's my .02USD

The problem is that not all modders agree, for instance my ideas about traits are different than the SS trait system...

Thats why people do their own thing.

It would be difficult to add all the different mod traits into the mod I am working on. For example, in my MOD, religions are not essential, there is no pope. Each faction works with administrations that represent each faction. Scripts that surround my mod play off of these administrations, increasing or decreasing a regions economic/military output. Not many mods would work well with this, as they are fine with only islam, catholicism, and orthodox.

Most modders pick the mods that work best with their ideas, add them, and then change them as appropriate and as it works with their mods. The best you can get is a base mod that incorporates several mods (this is also being done on mods like SS, TLR, DLC).

Try different mods to see how you like them, everyone has their favorite, or multiple favorites.

Darth retired :violin2:

and as GrnEyedDvl said not all modders agree.

Maybe in a land were everybody likes each other and agrees this type of mod you are looking for might be created.
