The End.....Sorta

**Kushan** · January 06, 2008, 04:16 PM

What I am about to say should be no surprise. I have decided to stop working on Rise of Kings. I will however continue to update it form time to time as the included mods are updated. As well as work on EB2. I plan on releasing a cut down version of v2.0 within the next few weeks. I just have to finish up some loose ends.

Their are two main reasons for my decision. One being me, and my current lack of interest in continuing to mod M2TW. I have been thinking of ideas for mods for other games. Modders can DO alot more in games like Civilization IV and Galactic Civilizations II then we can do in M2. The vanilla AI is also a lot better, and they have better support from their developers. The other reason being that there are other mods that do what I wanted to do, but do it better then I can do by myself. I just cant "compete" with mod teams that have 5+ members.

Id like to thank everyone who has supported this mod over the last year. All the modders who have let me include their mods and Eclipse for patronizing me.

Thanks,

Kushan

Hi,

The end of Rise of Rising is a bad news,

...but your help in others mods, like EB2, will be precious !

So, good bye and good luck !

See you soon

...anyways Rise of Kings was one of my favorites mods for M2TW, I hope you'll put your efforts for EB2, good luck and keep the faith!!!

Kushan what mods do you work on in Civ IV? I am one of the mods for Total Realism. Europa Barbarorum would be great as version one was my favorite RTW mod. Especially after RTR went with the pre-Marian units exclusively.

hi kushan,
i thought that your mod certainly would be the best mod for mtw2 because it includes a lot of other mods, a large map, good diplomacy, and strong ai. so which mods are better in your mind?

i like to play the ottomans on big maps, diplomacy and strong ai are very important in my mind. which mod would u prefer me?

When Civ IV was first released I was working on a medieval mod, but then MTWII was announced and I stopped working on it. Ive actually decided to start modding Sins of a Solar Empire. Its a bit on the "gamey" side of things, but I think it has alot of potential for modding. Im hoping to start work on it sometime this week after the new patch is released.

so maybe u can say me which mod would be best for me.

Im not really up to speed on the current MTWII mods. But when I left, I enjoyed playing DLV and Pro Deo Et Rege (PDER). Broken Crescent would be good if you want to focus on just the eastern provinces.

Again, thanks everyone for your support. Im hoping CA/SEGA learns from MTWII and make Empires worth modding (I actually like that time frame ALOT better). If so,
then I plan on coming back to mod that.

Thanks,

Kushan

Your mod was a great idea, perhaps you should've continued it. But well, you know what's best for you.

Farewell.
