I stopped development on this mod years and years ago, to the point that I think I would practically re-do the mod from the ground up if I were to resume work on it. However, I have learned a lot of tricks insofar as modding this game is concerned, in the the time being, and although my efforts are presently focused in another direction, I believe I could do this mod many times better were I working on it once more.
I would use new models, custom made and custom textured, so as to keep a consistent appearance throughout the mod, something I had immense difficult keeping with imported Civ IV models. I would utilize a number of different modifiers and workarounds I have discovered working on other mods, and I would probably embrace a different gameplay design in general that makes the game more balanced and interesting to play.
But I am not working on this mod now. And it shall be that way for some time, I think.
However, I have known that this mod had its fans just as it had its detractors, and I want to give you all this hope today that this mod may not be dead forever. In fact, It may not be dead for very long at all, depending on the level of interest I am able to guage for it now and in the future.
In the mean time, I have considered releasing this mod in its entirety. There is a lot presently in the mod, and if I am indeed discarding most of the assets used here, it would not massively impact my work. If there is sufficient interest regarding that then it will be something that I do as well.
Finally, thank you to all who have looked on this project with patience and sympathy. I was probably too quick to abandon this project, but let the negativity of the baidu forums, the lack of support here, and my own quiet disgust with the aesthetic direction of the mod force a harsh decision that I know disappointed some people. If I do resume work on the mod, it will still face the same challenges, and I can not promise as steady a stream of updates as this mod once had, swamped as I am with other projects and classwork.
Im looking forward to seeing your updates!
Great to know that there is a possibility of this mod and i do hope you best on it i really like your work you are talented.
