Just posting a quick update here to make sure people know that there is progress on this, we're just working hard in Trello trying to keep organised and come up with ideas.
At the moment we seem to have the UI pinpointed, but still very little chance for a model.
I've been working on a leaderscreen for the best part of the day, which is a bit more accurate to history then TPangolin's, however it will come to a vote between the people working on the mod whether to use mine or his. It's quality or historic accuracy.
We've been discussing whether or not to put a charity/charities in the description of the mod when released to encourage people to aid the Syrian people in their crisis.
We've come up with idea for most Mod incompatibilities, including YNAEMP, Cultural Diversity, Civ IV traits in Civ V and Decisions.
Coding has yet to start.
There is a DOM text basically done.
We have some wonderful icons given to us by DJSHenninger and Kujarim.
but apart from that, stay tuned to this thread we may have more progress for you in the future.
(My leaderscreen (wip) for those interested)
