Nice one cheers mate, this worked a treat.

The 'freelancer stuck talking to commander' bug has been reported by many people on the official mod forum all week, let's hope a proper fix is incoming.

In response to the 'freelancer stuck talking to commander' bug workaround post.

Cheers mate your suggestion was gold. That bug has been reported by many people on the official mod forum all week, let's hope a proper fix is incoming.

Please, those actors and Peter J can say and do whatever they like. They are far too valuable to replace, especially as they have all signed deals and most of the filming is completed.

The negative publicity will not affect the actors etc, they will gain kudos for standing up for the little man.

Evil fascists WB will feel the squeeze.

Evil must be defeated, whatever the cost (cue angelic chorus of 'Aaaahhhhh').

Agreed. MERP team should finish production of the mod, and then just release it in Russia or some other place that does not give a sh1t about IP.

Once on the interwebz, it won't be contained.

The threat of tarnishing WB's prestige and image with a huge amount of negative PR etc in the run-up to the release of the Hobbit films is the angle MERP team needs to work.

The MERP team should contact Peter Jackson, Ian McKellen and other huge LOTR actors etc and get them involved.

If any of those can speak out in defence of MERP that carries far more weight, and is far more likely to be registered outside of the WB legal office.

That is the only way to win, by leveraging actors and those involved at that level to speak out in defence of MERP.

It's ironic that exposure not only of the mod, but of the complete ineptitude and fascism of WB has been highlighted to a much larger audience already. Long may this continue!

Boycott all things WB until they consent is the way forward.

WB have made a huge and costly publicity blunder and I hope they rue the day they made such a short-sighted decision.

All the C&D request does is make WB look like fascists and bully’s, and nobody likes those. In addition, people lose respect for them and when a company/brand/logo etc is not respected then people have no qualms about acquiring any WB or associated products by any means and not supporting them directly/financially.

Netizens remember, and netizens don’t forgive or forget easily or quickly.

If fat-cat WB want to screw over loyal fans for a few more $, then I suspect I won't be the only one who does not mind screwing them over and getting something back from them, be it now or in the future.

Excellent thanks for your swift reply, it's much appreciated. I'm having so much fun with this mod that those minor issues are not detracting from the gameplay!

I really look forward to the next version, keep up the superb work and have a pint on me.

Cheers!

Hello, a quick question for the devs - I hope you don't mind me posting here.

I LOVE this mod, it's outstanding, but when using the latest version for Diplomacy on a completely clean install, I see alot of 'String Not Found' icons in the menus, and some icons are blank or say 'TBA' (particuarly with the Borg).

Also, the individual character portraits for all races appear to be out of sync with where their placement should be so they are 50% too high which reveals another race picture below, which also only has 50% of that showing.

Are these bugs particular to me or is anyone else getting this?

Cheers, keep up the great work deve team!

This is one of the three best mods of all time for any game, outstanding in al regards.

I've lost many days and nights on this, and am really looking forward to 3.0.

Keep up the great work!

Resolved - nice one.

The first file to download at 572.2mb from Megauploads says 'The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable' - Any ideas when this will be resolved please?

Cheers

Cheers

Thanks for your reply Aledojo!

At least I know now that there is some movement. I'm itching to play this as the Dwarves and crush some greenskins...

No updates for over 3 weeks... No website that non-Russian speakers can follow... can anyone associated with this give us any kind of indication as to the status of this?

A mod is only as good as the community that follows it and this one needs more official input, considering at the start of the year it was claimed would be out by Feb/March!

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi... You're my only hope.

Respectfully, please translate 'empiretw.ru' into English so the English speaking community can follow the development. Cheers mate

Excellent, cheers for your reply Timorfeys!

This has massive potential... but... Is this going to be coming out anytime soon? Is it dead?

Is there going to be a English version of this mod... also if anyone associated with the Russian/Ukrainian website actually reads this...

PLEASE - YOU NEED TO TRANSLATE ALL THAT STUFF TO ENGLISH

Cheers!

Forgot to say that this has massive potential, keep up the good work!

This mod looks amazing, but...

I noticed the official mod site is in Russian... and seeing as my Russian is a little rusty, it is not too much help for me. Additionally, what little is posted here in English is grammatically incorrect and with spelling mistakes.

For it to be successful outside of the Russian-speaking community, it needs to have grammatically accurate and fluent English used for any English conversion (if there is to be one).

I say this because a) Warhammer and Games Workshop are English, and b) English speaking fans will detect any poor cross-over in language and grammar and this will ultimately detract from the playing experience.

If I come across as the Spelling Nazi its because there is no reason why people, for whom English is their native language, should not be able to use English grammar efficiently and effectively. And if English is not the first language used by the mod team, they should seek the services of one who is to give it a polished look and feel.

I’m sorry Varjon but I think that ‘bee-ess’ has a point. You say “we want constructive criticism” yet you told ‘industrialpolygons’ that “we don’t really care about your opinion”.

Furthermore, you claim that “we don’t care about bragging from some people which don’t appreciate things which modders are doing” in reply to ‘bee-ess’, yet he was not critical or made any disparaging remarks about the mod or the quality of the mod, only of your condescending reply to ‘industrialpolygons’ comment, which like he said was immature considering this is a forum for opinions, and in addition to that ‘bee-ess’ can reasonably call you ‘kid’ as your own profile says you are only 15 years old…

As for your comment “if you don’t have anything important to say you can just be quiet”, who is to say what is important, and important to whom? Perhaps if you were more considerate and ‘neutral’ in your own criticism of ‘industrialpolygons’ you would not leave your own, misguided, comments, so open to reproach.

A conversation is defined by its wisdom, not by its tone. I believe it is irresponsible for a member of the mod-team, whether official spokesperson or not, to tell those who leave comments that “if you don’t have anything important to say you can just be quiet,” and that “we don’t care about your opinion.”

Not only is this bad PR, but intelligent and informed readers of comments can make up their own mind about people’s forum posts without the need for being rude. Perhaps luckily for you, this was after the recent voting had ended for ‘mod db’ awards…
