Okay, I read a bit back on this thread.
It is indeed flattering You guys/girls (hey, never knew LM was a girl!
) chose VD as a basis for BAT.
About MEE:
- it does alter gameplay - adds a couple of new techs and unit classes
- the added unit classes are always updated with the new art available. In fact, much of the art available indeed fits into these new unit classes as if the art people are making their modern art just to fit into these unit categories (this is also a proof to me that the unit categories - BTW based on snafu's work - are well designed), there's some excellent artwork available for these and I do use them! So the variety is there, and I would never play without this variety in the modern era.
On the other hand, I did not change the game concepts behind them for quite some time, only in my Quot Capita mod.
If there is interest, I can revise MEE and update it gameplay wise. I have ideas and partly I have it already in QC.
In no way am I promoting my mod to be the one that has t
he power of BUG behind it (although it
always will have BUG included in my QC ( coming from RevDCM but even if it was not there I'd have it included anyway), BUG is just plain
AWESOME!)
I always have a small smile creep onto my face when I hear complaints/claims (let those be heavily founded or not) claiming some mods superiority to others
; it is really a great honour for me to have VD and perhaps MEE included in BAT, but I'll not commit seppuku in case some other mod is chosen instead.
It's partly because it's just so not me to behave and think like that; and partly because I'm committed to work high quality and pursue my goals I set with VD and QC nonetheless. If it happens to be something that pleases people and want to use it, well, I'm just happier!
