Why is DLV a minor mod?

**Faramir** · January 14, 2007, 11:02 AM

seems to have more changes than many of the mods that are in the major mod category...

do we meet this criteria?

only with extensive research. complete overhaul and a popular fanbase

I think we do... all DLV'rs please post your thoughts and support! Rally now!

My guess is because it's age appropriate for the children. Except for all the sex and violence, of course. Hmmm, maybe it's not a minor mod... dd

What are your plans for the mod? If it is to stay ar around the same level of content as is currently in DLV it will stay as a minor mod, but i know that many mods with around the same level of content atm plan on incorporating a lot more work into future versions, and so will become major mods.

It's bloody hard working out which category a mod should come under.

We're just happy to be here Lusted! Let's see how things develop. I want to add a lot more RP'ing elements to DLV.

Cheers!

If drakkens says it's a major mod it's a major mod. If he says it's a minor mod it stays a minor mod !

Not to difficult to differentiate:
- Minor mods are mods with certain specialist areas: AI, textures, heralds, maps, traits fixer, roleplay focus, battle ai
- Major mods are integration mods (darth, lusted, dlv, long road, .... ) or mods with big changes as 23 campaigns or ....

I didn't mean to create any issues so if I did I apologize.. I thought just based on repman's work that DLV was clearly a major mod based on the other mods that don't seem to change as much and are now classified as major mods... the field cost is unique as far as I know and simply the best way to stop the initial rush style of play without self-imposed limits... you just can't do it.

It also makes the game more real world.. it limits you to less campaigns and less multi front wars because you just can't afford it..

I think I follow the thought process here, but DLV certainly seems miles ahead of LTC in terms of the content being modded. I guess compared to Mods that really go and make it a different era/fantasy game, it is minor.

Still, this is the only one (I have LTC, Darth and DLV) that I will play now.

I would have to agree with you guys, I tried DLV but there were just too many changes in it for me so I went back to LTC, which just feels like vanilla with the major bugs gone. I will be trying this again when I play a few more campaigns on LTC, DLV reminded me a wee bit of Europa Barbarorum and it looks like a lot of hard work went into it.

Yeah, I'd second that in a second Drakken! I'd like DEUS Lo VULT to grow a really nice role-playing 'glow' about it's characters and regions. There's lots of interesting things being cooked up in Drakken's kitchen I hear and sure that Repman's broad foundation will support the building of a mighty mod indeed.

IDEA - How we can define a mini and a major mod...?
Lusted, why not define major or mini status by the number of posts and uploads a mod gets? Every mod would start as a small micro mod then turn into ---> mini mod, then ---> mean mod (average) ---> major mod and eventually ---> mighty mod all depending upon the postings and user base? ...just a thought. -- T*M

I asked the same question 3 months ago as I see in another thread ... I consider DLV a major mod as well.

I was thinking the same when I first started playing it just a weeks or so ago. In my opinion its a major mod, not that it matters much Id imagine.

**Boudicca** · April 03, 2007, 12:45 PM

DLV is, without a doubt, a major mod. I would have put it into that category even weeks ago. Though combining several smaller mod projects, it is in itself unique in idea and development and has its fair share of own ideas put into.

It should be in that category.

My pleasure to obey her majesty

**Tokus*Maximus** · April 03, 2007, 03:05 PM

I guess when Deus lo Vult's downloads are compared to other mods http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...sort=downloads it stands as a steady bet. Time will tell...

**verity_blues** · April 03, 2007, 06:09 PM

Major.

On a side note, congrats to the DLV team for being featured in the sixth edition of The Eagle Standard. Great read, too.

**-[Scorpion]-** · April 03, 2007, 06:37 PM

Like i already stated in another thread, i think it sould be in the major mod section. DLV add so much to the vanilla game, that's simply a new game for me even more if you use the superpack addon with it while LTC is basically a more balanced vanilla game. But really, it's not a big deal for me.

Hey, i could be biased since im a DLV fan

I say let it stay where it is, so I don't have to scroll down to access it, once the Hosted Mods section opens. It's right there, in the middle of the screen.
