Any news? Still on your honeymoon? If so, have fun! 
As a last I'd like to thank the creator of this pack, it's really a wonderful combination of mods
Edit: Ow, and congratulations by the way ^^
Edit Umpteen: If I come off as chaotic, my apologies, it's something psychological ^^
Unsolved:
Nothing! \o/ Sorry, seems a bit more effort was enough on my end ^^
Solved
I was wondering if anyone could help me. This pack does about everything I've wanted to get from the mod community safe adding a few resources. Since I saw some woc lite references in the folders I kind of (wishful thinking lol) hoped simply adding some woc resources into the mods folder would give me the extra resources I was hoping for but it hasn't seemed to have had any effect.
Is there anything particular to do that might get me to add a few resources in? Is it reasonably doable or would it require extensive changes? (I can change around some xml, not that I have any clue where to start at the moment, but doing any python stuff for instance is far... FAR beyond my capablities
)
Edits:On the resources. I think I'm starting to see how it works. The modular assets I got from WoC have 4 small particular xmls, Artdefines_bonus, Bonusinfos, Gametext and ImprovementInfos. My first guess is if I move the art to the apropriate folders and incorporate the info in those xmls in the main xmls that might work?
My biggest worry is though there's also the CIV4Artdefineschema.xml and CIV4Terrainschema.xml in those folders and I've no idea what to do with those or if they are needed.
I guess I'll try merging the particular ones and hope I don't mess it up xD
Edits: Ok, nevermind, it seems I was mistaken, it *does* seem to be working out of the box, absolutely wonderful!
Ow, another thing I found. I changed my civilization to have different techs, the way I used to normally do. But instead of changing the techs, i now seem to have the originals *and* the new ones I changed it to ... which is kind of confusing, lol. I just found another similar xml in varietas delectat though, maybe it was merged, I'll let you know if editing that changes anything ^^ Edit2: Ok that worked, I feel less like a cheat now
Ow, another question. Is there a way to *not* default to the BTS main menu theme? And perhaps even undo the custom theme? (Under graphics options there's only BTS now with the Civfusion mod). Not to sound ungrateful but for me I have always loved the original theme, *especially* the soundtrack, up the point that I could leave it on just to listen to the song. The whole thing just lifts my spirit to the point that I *want* to play even more. The BTS track however just makes me feel anxious. I might find it in the next few minutes but I haven't yet so far which I thought I'd ask already anyway ^^
Edit, *blush* ok, managed to solve it again, externally this time by simply replacing BTS MP3 and BTS Interface/main menu art folders with the Civ4 ones and removing the BTS main menu dds from the mod

Similar problem here, it freezes at an early stage of loading.

The current version posted is for BtS 3.17, so if you are running the current version of Bts, 3.19, it will not work.
However, I am pleased to announce that a final version of the ever-elusive 0.75 is imminent. Stay tuned.
Cheers,

Alright, sorry it took so long. Here they are, all the leaderhead personalities I have thus far. The folder's a bit disorganized, and there are some repeats, but I think you should be able to navigate through it reasonably. Additionally, some of the files also indicate which leaders I combined to make the new personality.

This looks great and I think the new traits are very well thought out. Gonna play this tomorrow.
Cheers for the sources too! I was planning to copy some of those very tags to traits for my personal mod too and now you've saved me a lot of time.

Thanks for the compliment, Captain Midnight.
I have been working on the successor to CivFusion on and off for the past 4-5 years and I am pleased to say that I have a playable beta version of sorts to show off. The mod, unnamed as of now, is built on RevDCM and features new civs/leaders, buildings, techs, wonders, civics (including your Civic Yields/Commerce from Specialist, Captain Midnight!), religions, and more. It is built on a redesigned tech tree and is aiming to be a medium-sized expansion on BtS, not a "everything and the kitchen sink" mod. I will post some screenshots soon to show some of the progress on the mod.
The current beta is quite playable through the Renaissance era. I'm hoping that my testers will give feedback/bug reports and then I will follow up with subsequent betas balancing the later eras. Almost all of the content is in place already, however.
If anyone is interested in doing some prerelease beta testing, let me know via PM.

First impression, those are some significant changes to game play but it is much more historically accurate than the standard tech tree. Counter unit placements seem logical and not game breaking. Taj Mahal should be later on in history I think unless its got other prereqs.
From a purely aesthetic point of view:
Have you check out this tech tree mod which extends the Y axis?
And this mod which makes the tech bar longer ?
If not, they might help clear up some of those overlapping tech tree lines.

Thanks for your feedback, Captain. I agree fully with your assesment. The Taj Mahal is a tricky wonder to place. I am thinking of moving it to Humanism and having it also require Architecture and moving the Encyclopedie to Printing Press and having it also require Humanism. What do you think of that?
In regards to the aesthetics, when I turn the colored era backgrounds off, the lines are perfect with no overlaps. I'll post a screenshot when I have a sec. I'm hoping to have someone mod the tech screen for me to add the eras at the top a la the Civ5 tech tree since my tree is lined up perfectly by era.
EDIT: I've attached a picture of the first screen with the colored era backgrounds off. You can see how none of the lines run into the boxes now. I did have to change one spot slightly, I slightly moved Monarchy, Athletics, and Aristocracy as one link was running into the Monarchy tech even with the backgrounds off.
