yes, that's a good thing to talk about
! it would be great to have a gotm mod. i can remember cracker proposed scenario files based on the gotm settings. i don't know if those files had ever been available.
as far as i can see, such a "mod" would contain only a .bic/ . bix file, as the needed downloads are already available to and installed by gotm players, right?
a couple of weeks ago, i thought about a pm to ainwood to ask if it would be possible to get some gotm *.bic/*.bix files to convert them into gotm scenarios for the epic games in v1.29 & ptw. now i would kindly ask for them here in this forum.
an obstacle to do this might be the information provided by publishing such a file, e.g. about the mystery traits of the small tribes (oda, tokugawa, and the like). on the other hand, it could be possible to assign some traits to those tribes with the explicit comment that those traits are not necessarily the traits for those civs in every gotm.
another solution would be to cut out all or some of those "minor civs" from the scenario at all. probably, they cannot be implemented completely, because with them included the number of civs exceeds max. number of (edited) 31 civs - at least i believe so. i didn't count them, but there have been a lot of civs added during crackers "expansion phase"
, just remember the korea gotm!
the main focus should lie on the new set of rules and on the resources, just like Demiurge requested, and on making the ptw civs available to v1.29 players.
a thread could be opened in the mods' section of the cf-forums with the downloads of the scenario files and links to the necessary game packs of gotm. hey, might be a good advertisement for gotm, too
