IBs mod

[IBPK]

I thought maybe if I started a thread it might speed up my on/off work on modding. I'm unsure if it will.

At the current rate I expect to have an early beta test mod by about 2010.

2010? You have to be joking, KoH 3 would be out by then. Seriously though, try to release it by January to be realistic.

Okay, you want to start paying me?

Okay, you want to start paying me?You had better pay us so that we're sure we want your mod :p

But seriously, your modding enthusiasm won't last for 2 years [I think]. I'd try to have it finished in a few months.

[Mephistopheles]

Carbon and Doux, try getting some humour off ebay or something. ;)

[IBPK]

Heh, I just found a shortcut.

Shortcut to ImgView.exe
"C:\Documents and Settings\Veso.FRUJIN\Desktop"

Carbon and Doux, try getting some humour off ebay or something. ;)Sounds expensive.. is it?

Heh, I just found a shortcut.

Shortcut to ImgView.exe
"C:\Documents and Settings\Veso.FRUJIN\Desktop"I tried Frujin several times, but he hasn't reacted yet - I guess he doesn't have the time to upload the program behind that shortcut.

I reckon your main goal is to make the game more difficult?

Not difficult exactly, I want more...playability if that sounds right. Holy Rome has some nice stuff, massively reduced gold, negative food experiment. Hard mod has the event, which I think could add some flavour if there were more different ones, I don't like the chain super wars that never end part, they are a little too unrealistic. I want to mod the techtree primarily, the problem is the AI is pretty dumb.
