Now I'm able to cover almost all the duties required in the mod-building process, from the map-making to the 3d modelling, skinning, coding and so on.

My future plans include the continuation of the experience of "Paeninsula Italica", planning also a future version of the mod using the engine and the enhancements which will be (auspiciously) introduced by MTW2. I would like to promote a sort of "grand-project" which may confederate all the teams working on the mods covering the ancient world for a future coordinate effort to convert the different mods to the eingine of MTW 2.

My own two cents: Luciano is a very measured guy, who takes his time to say things, and always keeps his cool. At the same time he's persistent and diligent. In the TW world, Luciano has made many great contributions which can be seen in Paeninsula Italica's subforum and two major previews, and even more great stuff from him is yet to come. He's a great guy, a great addition to the community, and he's here to stay. I recommend him for the Civitate ranks.

He assured me that he wanted to become more active in the Curia and Valus and I both considered patronizing but Sig beat us to it....

Voted yes. Was part of the Pi mod for a while and know how much he has done.

**Valus** · May 14, 2006, 02:06 PM

Voted yes...
I was intending to patronise him but Signifier stole him from me, well he got their first but thats not the point...

:laughing:

**imb39** · May 14, 2006, 02:24 PM

Yes.

**Belisarius** · May 14, 2006, 02:48 PM

No, and No means yes.

**John I Tzimisces** · May 14, 2006, 03:24 PM

Why not.

**Wild Bill Kelso** · May 15, 2006, 12:43 AM

yes from me

**Boudicca** · May 15, 2006, 03:15 PM

If he is such a great skinner and thus contributing - a yes. I can't really tell.

Looking only over his posts I'd rather say no. Not that many and not that "innovative" but rather short.

I like the name.

I shall vote as I please.
