Along with the 50 nations, what about Tir'na'nOG and Fomoria? For that matter, what about a selection of "officially" accepted mod-nations like Haida G'waii?

Random nations would be fun, then gang up on face huggers or those showing undue advancement

oh yeah, color me in for EA T'ien Chi if avail

Id probably want LA agartha, bandar log, one of the ctisian nations or possibly one of the new nations.

Random nations would probably be best.

I'd be happy playing EA R'lyeh or EA Agartha too.

Those two are actually already in the game. Nations 13 and 14 have those names already assigned but in 3.06 they dont have much they can do. So Im guessing that when they show up in the next patch I wont have to do anything. The Eriu I dont know where they are showing up so I might have to edit the mod for them.

As for other modded nations, Im not sure what is needed. Feel free to try it and find out. I probably wont be offering them in my game unless a single mod comes out that fills the empty slots and gives them flags. Anything else is more work than I plan on doing.

I might toss the empty slots into the game as AI's. Or some veteran might try them. They start with an army but most of them have nothing to recruit so they are basically freebies for whoever lands near them.

It was just a thought. I'd rather play a game that you yourself were hosting, Gandalf, than a random one. That would be more appealing to me.

In what way is Haida an 'officially' accepted nation?

I'm just curious.

VedalkenBear · #88 April 17th, 2007, 10:27 PM

Dunno, since it's, y'know, an egregious case of what I'm discussing in another thread ATM, Sombre.

Foodstamp · #89 April 17th, 2007, 11:12 PM

For this type of mod, I feel only the official nations would be appropriate.

Sombre, I think Honeybadger was saying it should be considered for some sort of list, not that it is on such list.

I didn't create Haida Gwaii with the intentions of it being forced on people or added to a list of accepted mods as is suggested.

I feel all player mods should always be a voluntary relationship, download it if you want, play with it if you like it.

And I think the criticism of such mods should always spring forth as constructive, not out of jealousy or a dislike of an individual.

Oh, I didn't know you made it, Foodstamp. If you like, I can explain my exact issues with the mod privately. With, of course, checking to make sure I have a current copy of the mod, so that I'm not going over stuff that is no longer an issue.
