Hi Guys,
I am back. Damn, every time I am on vacation some **** happens in London. Well I made it back. The team has worked great so far and surprisingly much more is done for the coming patch than I thought.
Mexico alone implemented roger bacon flying mod 2.0 (flying mod, dale's range bombardment, mad nuke, missile, revolution mod, auto ai play). All credits going to him. We still need more testing though.
The conversion to Warlords are going excellent as well.
The plan is the following
- Release of Patch TR 2.1.0 for Vanilla Civ4 for the coming weekend (Hopefully) This will be the last TR patch for Vanilla Civ4
- Release of Warlord TR sometime in 3-4 weeks from now
- We will move from this thread here to the Total Realism Project site (which is also located on the Civfanatics, but not yet public)
I haven't read most of the posts since my last post, but it seems I have pissed off someone with my signature. I am sorry about that, since my intention is to make people to think! During my studies in USA I realized that 2/3 of the American students I met had very limited to no knowledge at all about the world outside their constitution. Most of them were thinking in a way of black and white; Star Wars or Lord of The Rings way, good vs Evil.
I remember how happy my room mate was when he was reporting to his mom "Mom we got the bastard!". For a second I was thinking he is talking about me, as his German/Iranian room mate.

But no he was talking about the capture of Saddam Hussein. I was just looking at him, shaking my head with a tired smile on my face.
His president didn't tell him on Fox News that America and all western nations were selling all sort of conventional weapons, missiles and even bio/chemical warheads - through which I lost one of my cousins - to Saddam Hussein in his 8 years war against Iran. Now that the ex-vassal was a thorn in the western eyes he needed to be removed. And the weapons that he paid once for needed to be destroyed...certainly without a refund.
I don't blame these American Students I met. They are victims of US media like FoxNews. I remember very well how amusing the 20:00 FoxNews was in the canteen. 15 min report about Football, then 10 min report about baseball. Commercial break, 30 seconds about events in Iraq Invasion (2003/4) - naturally only action scenes how the good Americans are winning the war against the Orcs. Aehmm I mean the rebels, oh no rebels were good in Star Wars, aeehmmm I meant the insurgents. Then a report about weather and Basketball. That was it.

how the hell shall a student get his world education in there - such as not everything is black and white but there is always a shade of grey?
Anyway because of recent events I felt my signature needed to be extended by three more links. Feel free to watch them or not.
Sorry now back to the topic again. I just felt that needed to be said.
Cheers
Houmie
