Well, Absinthe, it is pretty certain that we don't need to care for whether we make Hungary less popular nor not - we couldn't be much less popular already. I can assure you that the negative press since the second Orbán government took over power produced a pretty unfamous image of Hungary. Really, the don't report anything else than Gyöngyöspata, Gárda, Jobbik, poor gypsies, release of the axe murder, Orbán is proceeding with Gleichschaltung and saving his power by altering the constitution, bla bla bla. That's all people lately hear about us, so what do you think do they think about us? I had to realize that myself at my previous workplace, where a former colleque of mine gave a hint that Hungary would be on the edge of dictatorship. Although I avoided hungarian politics... That guy was my favorite collegue, I really liked working with him, so I left him in his belief as he wouldn't have believed me anything anyways. Also, there is an entire german language blog about the unbalanced press about Hungary in german media. Well, I won't try to teach the westerns something about the situation in Hungary (I wouldn't be the right guy for that anyways), but still, sometimes it is just necessary not to keep still.
Besides of the Austria civ, Firxais made a lot of mistakes when designing civ5. No matter where you look, there are flaws everywhere. To be honest: I wouldn't be here to make the Hungary mod if kusztax wouldn't have sounded so... well... helpless on the hungarian forum. So, I am frustrated with civ5 anyways. This might have led to why I've become that strict with the Austria civ case. Still, I don't think I'm wrong here. If we just sit down and do nothing, nothing will change, they will continue making mistakes. After all, we don't even have the chance to return the game if we don't like it, thanks to steam. Yet fair trade works in both directions: paying a fair price for a good product is cool, but delivering a good product is also cool if the price is considerable. Now, 40 - 50 per game is considerable. And no, I am actually not here to fix their mess (no, mods aren't there to fix mistakes, they are there to adjust the game according to the players taste), nor am I here for the fame and I certainly don't sell anything. I am here to include stuff (namely Hungary) that wasn't included by them. I don't depent on customers, so if people like my stuff, they are free to load the mods, if not, well, then they don't need to use it. And I certainly don't care for childish people that can't make differences between two mods, people, that will rate down the other mod, because they are unsatisfied with the first. There will be trolls downrating the mods anyways.
Finally, I don't get why you insist on including the Austria fix into the Magyar Mod. I'm sure that most users of the Magyar Mod will also use the Austria bugfix, but it won't cost them anything more than one or two clicks. I now also updated the G&K entry of the Magyar Mod to point to the Austria bugfix, so that they can find it easily and can be sure that it will work together with the Hungary mod. On the other side, polish users may also be interested in my Austria mod because of the button, the colouring might attract even more players / modders. Those don't necessarily want to load the Magyar Mod as they don't plan to play it. As both mods are independent from each other considering the content, it's perfectly fine to keep them separate. This wys, no one is forced to anything. Even more, I get some flexibility as I can update the Austria mod even though there might be a huge bug in the Magyar Mod files or vice versa. The Austria bugfix is not going to be merged with the Magyar Mod.
