Open letter to Lusted

[irishron]

This is in response to your TE5 gold is dead thread and my and probably others efforts to keep it alive.
1. I wish you well with LTC. No hard fellings to M2TW but my graphics card craps out about the 90th region taken and I don't have 200 bucks for one that will. Family obligations.
2. The skins and animations and biuldings you say you lost on the old comp I don't have either to put in gold. Also, I don't have the $3000 to $4000 for 3dsmax or the time to learn it. You young people who have the time and the opportunity, my hat's off to you. Take advantage of it. Your work is great in TE and LTC. TE just needs a little of your help in this department.
3. I could dl Darth's last formations but to tweak them for TE, I'm not a mind reader to know what objectives you are trying to accomplish.
4. Any new building types you mentioned, whch ones do you have in mind? Are they something that can be taken from BI or even M2TW? Your post sounded like you hdn't decided yet.
5. My main objective right now has been finding missing cards, text files with msiing parts, etc. I have not made my own agenda except how I have modded it it for personal use and some of it history be damned. Other cultures have proven very adaptable with great survival skills if given time and a chance.
A: Highways. I like giving all factions and cultures a shot at building highways.
B: Caravans. Caravans only for eastern cultrue and can build all the way to Ireland is pure vanilla. It's not even close to being historical. Check the maps. Africa even had its caravan routes. I know it's for trade income purposes but there are better ways.
C. Temples. I like multiple temple scheme and mine pretty simplistic compared to Nero's efforts. This is a personal decision. Not everone like multiple temples.
Any of these or any combination of these can be an addon to TE, not part of TE, but as an enhancement of mod.

I don't want hijack your mod. You have put too much into it and I enjoy it myself. I just would like to give the community more optoins to enjoy this great mod.

I could only do basic tweaks to those files as well.

4. Any new building types you mentioned, whch ones do you have in mind? Are they something that can be taken from BI or even M2TW? Your post sounded like you hdn't decided yet.

Can't remember, don't think i planned on adding any new ones.

A: Highways. I like giving all factions and cultures a shot at building highways.

I added stone roads to all factions in 5.0 didn't i? My memory is a big vague in that but that was my way of lessening the bias in favour of the Romans, as well as all the new buildings the Barbarians got in 4.0 or 5.0.

B: Caravans. Caravans only for eastern cultrue and can build all the way to Ireland is pure vanilla. It's not even close to being historical. Check the maps. Africa even had its caravan routes. I know it's for trade income purposes but there are better ways.

Yeah sounds good.

C. Temples. I like multiple temple scheme and mine pretty simplistic compared to Nero's efforts. This is a personal decision. Not everone like multiple temples.

I stuck with one, forces the player to think more about what Temples they build where.
