Depends what he meant by small. It's small in terms of download size, compared with nations.


I read "small" to mean "not significantly game-changing," which would rule out CBM.

LP should tell us what he meant by "small."

Well... I was thinking of worthy heroes as good, and CBM as bad. I do think including a mod nation might be okay, though, since it doesn't change the fundamental mechanics for everyone, and the game manual is still usable.

I'm willing to be flexible. And while CBM is something to consider, I'm not ready to switch over to it. In the future, when I've got no other mods going, and I've got enough basics under my belt to start worrying about balance and other game changes... There are somethings I find attractive about CBM, but I'm not ready for it, as I found out in Veturi (oddly enough, my most successful game to date, where I'm among the last two players left alive). When I make the switch, it will probably be wholesale.

Cool, let me know if you need a hand setting up a mod nation or anything.

Yeah, I'd encourage including balanced mod nations, particularly the lovely Ulm Reborn and Vaettiheim. It'd be good if they started to be used in ordinary MP games, since they're certainly interesting and balanced enough to merit it.

People have mentioned, but not personally requested a mod nation. I don't think I'll need a hand setting up a mod nation, Sombre, but I'll keep your offer in mind. I appreciate it. But where I know I'll need advice is deciding whether a nation is balanced enough for multiplayer. If it's a little too overpowered, perhaps we can treat the playing nation like LA Ermor. You know, love, flowers, the whole red carpet treatment of ganging up on a threat warfare.

LP--

Well, I'm finally settled (I think):

T'ien Ch'i, Midgard, Marignon

That's it!
