Credits
I take pride in giving due credit where such is needed. The following work has been used in creating this mod. I sincerely hope I haven't forgotten anyone, or gotten anything of the following wrong, because that would make me feel really ashamed, since all of this (mostly artwork) is worth all credit in the world. Please excuse me in case anything is wrong here, and do tell me. Furthermore, I do try to use work from all the most prolific artists on the CivFanatics download page, since all of them make stuff that suits me and this mod. Some artists have become favourites of mine though. Special mention goes out to Danrell who produces large amounts of high-quality medieval units, SeZereth for his excellent Ogres and Trolls as well as other great medieval units. I also want to mention SaibotLieh who has female units as a trade. His hot ladies are most appreciated and this mod would be nothing without all the hot ladies, eh. Just check out the Norse Valkyries. He also made the Princess look fairy tale just because of my wishes. Zerver also does some really good stuff. But to all the artists generally - thanks for sharing, and keep it up.

The Leader Portraits were made using the Computer Game Oblivion (and some Morrowind too!). I got tired of searching for copyright-free Fantasy art online, as there is none, and resorted to taking screenshots of characters I've played or created in Oblivion instead. The leader of Clan Crystallin, Socuzia, was actually the lady I beat Oblivion's Main Quest together with. Now she lives again. I got art that suited me far better than that
they demand money for online, and I see my Oblivion-pics as a small tribute as well to Bethesda's great Elder Scrolls series, which I have been following since Daggerfall.
The Fairy Tale music was composed by Zero-Project (
http://www.zero-project.gr/). Watch the YouTube video also (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mcJjTWHWbo)! Can't you see that's Principality knights charging a mass formation of Namyri? The Diplomusic was compsed by various 19th century great composers. Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Chopin and Grieg.
Special Thanks
Le Sage's Special thanks go to Jennvare, Ajidica, VeBear, Krchak and Ono-Neko. Super special thanks, of course, to my modding buddy HighwayHoss, who keeps up a really good job with his HEFT updates of Fairy Tale and have made this a much more pleasant modding experience, thanks also to Zero-Project for his music. This mod would be nothing without you guys. Special thanks also to the nice guys and gals on the CivFanatics forums who have been most helpful. Notably EmperorFool and Phungus who patiently helped me with Python, SaibotLieh and The_J who have helped me on several occasions. Thanks also to all else within the lively and friendly Civ4 modding community and I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.
Thanks to Sid Meier, Firaxis and 2K for the best computer game in World History. Thanks to Bethesda for the best RPG's in World History, the Elder Scrolls games.
