Hello guys.
Me and Bantu Chieftain have been doing most modding work by interacting on Skype. And i've only had contact with WarcraftHero here on TWC and also with Sulf on MOD DB and here - not often though.
As you might recall Bantu wanted a different system of portraits based on other stuff than actual persons - in order to have races such as Draenei without having them use Human portraits and such. There are limits on how many religions and cultures there can be - and we have reached these limits.
Bantu dislikes many things, such as the fact Nerubians, Legion, Scourge, Forsaken and Ahn'Qiraj share building tree and culture. He wishes them to have race-specific buildings for their recruitment, thinks they should have non-person portraits so the undead won't share pics with the demons etc. In essence he is still going on about this stuff. What do you guys think?
WarcraftHero wrote this to me:
"I think Sulfurion did a very good job with the buildings; in my opinion we should leave them as they are since they work fine and the icons are cool. Splitting buildings per race would be an impossible task; it would create confusion among the players and also there are hardocoded limits for the amount of buildings in the EDB. The more we add or modify in the EDB, higher is the risk that there will be crashes. Do you still remember that old building duplication bug in the campaign, don't you?.
So in my opinion the EDB is fine as it is."
I must say that i do agree. More buildings will only cause issues.. And i have zero interest in re-working any recruitment or make new building pics. That bug might also return.
Still - seeing as Sulf hasn't been active in awhile, and as WarcraftHero isn't really involved in the Skype-activity - i just want to hear other opinions on this.
My own opinion is clear - Buildings are finished, portraits are finished - and the only thing remaining is the voices and final units/faction rosters.
If Bantu wants a different building tree, different portrait-system and so on - he will be forced to create his own submod. I don't agree with the main mod taking that route. Problem is that it is hard to work with him when he does these changes anyway. So are the opinion with him or not?
I still do not feel like re-working anything.
