Seelie/Unseelie Courts

If you'd like, we could work together on this-we can still make our own distinct nations if you want (it's always nice to have something to call your own, and I tend to be stubborn about the directions I want creative projects to go), but sharing the research and concepts, and making sure that the nations we create are distinctive, might not be a bad idea-you're a good graphic artist (with access to the unit databases, which I lack), and I like to think I'm getting better, so helping each other out with sprites (pun completely intended) would help keep things on track, and get the work done more quickly for both of us.

Were you intending on making a generic nation, or one based on a specific part of the world?

The word "Cantabira" sounds Spanish/Iberian-and there haven't been any Spanish mods yet.
The Spanish had their faeries too.

Ah, that reminded me of Changeling: The Dreaming. I couldn't find a single player interested in it here.

Most likely because IIRC you offered to make the mod and only(sic) needed someone to do the sprites.

As you have seen, that is a low probability occurance. Many before you have tried with equal success. Ideas are cheap, sprites are real work.

If you go through the dozens of mods here you will not find more than two cooperative efforts.

First you need to post a mod of your own. Then you can look for a partnership.

nah, I meant the actual tabletop game of Changeling. Couldn't find a single player in Turkey.

Also, how do I made sprite?

"Two heads are better than just one" (old Ettin proverb )

Well, I don't know what is better : working together on a same nation, or cooperating on two complementary nations .

I'll prepare & send you a quick presentation on what I was planning to work on, so we can see how we'll work. I was personally intending to work on different myths & fairies legends, maily celtic ones or adaptation of celtic fairies. I would like to mod a nation showing the "bad" aspects of fairies, even "good" Seelie Fairies being mischievious an darrogant creatures, who don't care what happen to their human "toys"...

In fact, I teach Spanish. The name "Cantabira" is just an alteration of Cantabria (a northern province of Spain I like a lot), but the nation will not be Spanish at all ! It's just that "Cantabria" is supposed to come from "Cant" (which means "stone") & "abr" (dweller", "inhabitant"), so "Cantabros" (the name of an ancient celtiberian people) probably meant "Those who live in a rocky place", something like that.

In fact, I want to make a nation of people who built circles of standinf stones & monuments like Stonehenge, a late stone age/early bronze age nation with good mages, good sacred, and awfully bad & poorly equipped troops (cheap, but weak, like Machaka infantry/militia/archers). So, the word Cantabria jumped to my mind, because of its relation with stone & ancient peoples (the origin of Iberian is largelly unknown, but some authors believe they descend from the neolithic tribes of europe, like the Basque, who dwell in the Pyrenee mountains since the Palaeolithic, and were among the first inhabitants of Western Europe).
