But you ppl can do WE you wan't. I'm not forced to touch your mods.

My plans to build a Middle Earth/Tolkien mod for Dom disgust you - perhaps you might have been better to keep that to yourself?

Do me a favour and don't bother to explain why.

Come now! No need for people to start throwing around comments like that. The beauty of a mod is you are not forced to play it, know it exists, let it have sex with your wife or eat cornflakes!

I would hope that the Mod's don't become standard but an added flavor to change and diversify the game if (and I highly doubt any time soon) the game becomes stale or the balance an issue.

The only real issue I see, is that in the age of "Modding" people want to play a certain way or with a race and once they recieve the tools *They* won't play any other way since they know the ins and outs of it and they are more likely to win. That isn't saying that everyone that mods, does this. But it's the general theme.

If a Mod ever becomes standard in MP or SP and the features raved about. That simply clues the Developers into what the community desires.

Don't rip on those Modheads any more than people should rip on SPers or PvPers. Everyone is different, at least until the Inquisition comes.

My happy-happy thread has become polluted with meanness

Maybe if I mention the new "Lions and Lambs" Pangea theme, where cute forest animals unite to spread a dominion of love, the unhappy people will become smiley?

Sorry to be a cynic but wouldn't the Lions eat the Lambs?

So instead of blood slaves Lions would carry around pet lambs and eat them at the start of the battle to get bonuses.

Don't worry, be happy . . .

Hell yeah! I want to play with a LotR mod!

Nerfix, there is no need to start pissing on everyone else just because you don't like the idea of mods. As you said yourself, you won't be forced to touch them anyway, and if they are available, others who want to can do so while you play the vanilla Version.

As for the Tolkien mod, yay, I'd like to see that!

I enjoy mods personally. They add variety to the game, let you experience new things, and certainly add life to a game. As for making multiplayer more difficult, I disagree. I have participated in many multiplayer games on platforms that support heavy modding. Generally a short hand is developed to specify the terms of the game which makes things go fairly quickly during setup. It does help if the game developers place some code in the game to verify that everyone is using the same config files (ie acting as an honest broker that everyone has the same setup), but this is certainly not required. Frequently, known cheaters and abUsers become outcasts and can only find games with fellow cheaters and abUsers.

P.S. I also would love to see a tolkien themed mod. I could see it being a fun mod, especially if you made sauron have a ton of troops etc. with the allied races of good forced to confront him. It could be a great strategic and tactical challenge.
