Guys there is still a lot of stuff you can do to help, even if you aren't a modder at all.

Just as we are starting to get close to having a playable mod, our support from non team members seems to be slipping. The more you help us, the sooner you'll be able to play this mod (which has 48 custom civs and leaders, 40+ custom techs, 100+ modern units, 7 new real world corporations, completely new war and economic features, and more).

We couldn't have done anything without help from you guys, but now we need it more than ever, to get this finished.


Things you can do if you are not a modder:

-Write civilopedia entries and quotes for our techs.

-Search around this board and find existing art for units we are including. We still need all naval units. Suggest placeholders for ones that don't currently have custom art.



Please feel free to send me a private message if you want to help but aren't sure how/where to get started.


If you are a modder, and have experience with XML, Python/SDK, or art, we can use you as well! Join our team or just lend a hand here and there. Send me a private message or head to our forum.




Beta Testing

Spoiler :

We have already had a number of people wanting to play this thing and help us test it. Well, it is not ready for testing yet, but it will be soon. We are going to limit early testing, so if you would like to be one of the first people to play this mod, post in this thread. Just write something like "I want to test", and we will contact you when it's time.

Only people posting in THIS THREAD will be invited to beta test, please don't post in our development forum about testing or playing at this time. However please feel free to post your ideas or suggestions in our forum even if you are not actively working on the project.

 

[Ajidica]

Sure, I'll do Beta testing once it is out.

 

[NwabudikeMorgan]

I'll beta!

 

[coreybowman]

i want to beta right NOW!!!

 

[alms66]

Sounds interesting...
I'll beta test.

 

[Krug]

I can't XML, I can't make a 3D Leaderhead, and I can't make units or buildings.

Just so my posting in this forum isn't a total waste of time, I'll Beta Test.

 

[sheep21]

i'll beta if you like

 

[Maaximillus]

I'l sign up for beta testing

 

[Koba the Dread]

I want to test. I most certainly want to test.

 

[DVS]

Cool guys, thanks for your interest, I'll be in touch when we have a working beta for you guys to try out.

Keep 'em coming. We have a lot of civs in this mod, so we need a good number of beta testers.

Also, we could still really use one or two more people working on xml right now, so if you want to be a part of this mod post here, in our forum, or send me a private message.

 

[Lord Wolf]

I would really like to do Beta testing the mod!!!!!!

I'm following the development of the mod already since it moved to the development forum. Unfortunately I couldn't contribute anything because I'm completely incompetent concerning modding. But I can play Civ and so I will participate at the Beta with delight !!!!!

greets Ben


PS: English is not my native language, i hope that won't be a problem. As you see i learn it at school and speak it quite well (but far away from perfect).....

 

[VeteranLurker]

I'd be interested in beta testing this also, depending upon when it happens and what the turn-around time is. Might be able to help with some XML also, depending upon scope/complexity/turnaround-time.

That's great, we're happy to have you contributing to our forum. Of course English being your second language is not a problem. Your English is better than my [insert your primary language here].

Cool. The scope of this mod is quite large, and there is still quite a bit of xml work to be done. If you have the time to help out to any degree, it would help us get this released that much faster, and be that much better.

Let me know what scope/complexity/turnaround-time suits you, and what you'd be most interested in working on, and I'm sure we can find something for you.

You can PM me, post here, or post in our forum.

 

[Firestorm94]

I can Beta test and if I can find the time, I'll be glad to help with the xml

 

[DWOLF]

this

count me in

 

[jwired21]

I'll test it for you. I've been trying all of them on here.

 

[RegentBob]

I would like to beta test this mod. However, I cannot help with the development (my brain can't handle actual programming).

Also, I will try to avoid any more controversial suggestions like the "EU civ and Vassals thing."

 

[civ3fanatic78]

I would very much like to be a beta tester.

 

[NikNaks]

Would anyone here be interested in coming up with some CityNames of some of the larger civs such as the African Union? I would do it myself, but I'm busy with other things.
