XC units as a sub mod?

**The Old Crusader** · July 11, 2012, 07:14 PM

Hello,

Can the new units present in XC be downloaded separately as a sub-mod? For example, is it possible to use the 'militia phalangites' or the Ptolemy phalanxes in vanilla? Is it also possible to download the new traits and buildings in sub mods aswell?

Thanks

You will be running into permissions territory here I think so you'll have to wait until AM GMT+1 for a more useful answer from the team but why not play the mod as is, if you're not already?

You can make a submod for personal use, however anything that could be distributed to other players is tricky as the mod itself borrows units (all with proper permission of course) from other mods.

Hello again, thanks for the replies

I would only use it for personal use, but how could I make it into a submod?

Thanks

That would depend on your modding skills.
There are plenty of tutorials about porting and changing several aspects of the game, try taking a look at here:

Is the "stealing" of units somehow judicial accountable then?

For personal use no, but in any modding community the use of someone else's work in another mod without proper accreditation is something that is quite rightly frowned upon, if you tried to make money from it yes, you could find yourself in court I guess, but I wouldn't know for sure.

So long as you are only using the items or whatever for personal use and have not shared them, passed them off as your own or sold them you should be fine.

It's always polite to ask anyway if you are able
