Awesome, im gonna download it later after my last final exam of the year but it looks great. :original:

edit: i paid no attention to the faction icon pics before but then i noticed they were different and clicked on it, very nice. I thought EB and you werent on good terms about this though, how would you be allowed to use their icons?

It's not EB symbols. They made their own, I made mine. Though some of them are close related to EB ones. It's because I was in the team before and was taking part in discussions about faction symbols. So since that times I have kinda definite thoughts about what symbols what factions should have... Hope I'm not guilty in spreading historical knowledge.

I think it's possible after some corrections for adaptation.

**The_Lords_Skinner** · June 20, 2005, 07:42 AM

This is amazing stuff....You realy
should join a big mod? Like? SPQR?
Or R:tr?

EDIT:

I think if he joined a 'big mod' we would lose him, this way is more usefull + Lt1956 makes his mod compatible with him and other....

Ow You Have A Point!

**HunterKYA** · June 20, 2005, 04:30 PM

Put this into RTW right after downloading it and jeez, was I impressed. New faction buttons, spies and diplomats for the city view, and the mini-map. Nothing less than fantastic!!!

**Carsomyr** · June 20, 2005, 11:05 PM

I didn't see anything mentioned about it, so I'll ask anyway. Are the scareface bugs fixed in this version? Or is it just me?

Sorry, not fixed. I just have no time and enough skills to do it. I looked through CVP files to understand how they did it (actualy I never played with CVP, just was told that they fixed it), but could not get it. For me it seems like they just disabled this feature. So it's a work for somebody more skilled in scripting.

Отличная работа!!! (Excellent work!!!)

Могу я поинтересоваться, почему в rebel_faction_descr_enums.txt вместо Otadinoi у тебя поставлено etOtadinoi ? Есть ли в этом смысл?
