I've been doing it for years for Civ III, I can't really remember with a lot of them to be honest. Googled some; people have helped with images from Osprey books.

Besides the civs on your site, are there going to be others in the mod?
I was thinking (rightly or wrongly) of uploading the mod to my AtomicGamer account. It's a very big mod.
How many MBs?
Yes. You'll have to wait to find out who though
.We're talking around 400MB at the moment with items still to be added. That's slightly larger than it's Civ III counterpart.
A size like that would indict art asset after art asset after art asset. :/
It's a complete conversion. The way I look at it is that I want to create this mod for my own enjoyment and will upload it in case anyone else would like to play it 
. Whilst there are a lot of art assets (and a lot of new stuff people can use if they wish for their own mods), it's not just window dressing, there really is a lot packed into the mod - for those that want it, that is!
Once I've RAR'd it, it will still probably be smaller in size than Anno Domini for Civ III.

I still really doubt it will be 400 MBs. Ancient World is a total conversion as well, yet that only took up 10 MBs (granted, I did compress the images, but it's still only 25 MBs uncompressed. XML and LUA files aren't that big. It's weird to hear about 400 MBs....
I've just RAR'd it as a test and it came in at 99.5MB!
Whilst I have stuff to add, I reckon by tidying up the files at the weekend, I can save quite a bit of space, so it should end up under 100MB.

do you think you will make the mod a .zip file or a .rar file?
It will definately be a .rar file. People can download a free winrar extractor at www.rarlab.com

I agree with Putmalk. All though I really want to know what is inside this mod, we should really wait until Rob fully releases it and allows us to "mod the mod."
