Hello to all, it's been a while since there has been any news on this front. I expect that most of you consider the PoM to be dead and gone. I won't say I haven't thought about giving up on it a few times but I can tell you with 100% certainty that the project is still on and will be resumed soon.
The part of the project I have been thinking most about lately is not the work on the mod itself but the organisation of our efforts here. The main problem at the moment is that their is no real focus, no plan of action and many people working at cross purposes. This is why I feel that this needs to work in set stages if it is to resume and indeed bear any fruit. Previously it had been proceeding in a rather haphazard fashion with myself adding in scattered bits and pieces instead of focusing on one area.
A clear policy also needs to be set, that which we will not cover/represent and that which we will. Everything has a line which needs to be drawn. With regard to historical accuracy, we can improve it but it should not be the main focus of this mod, gameplay should always come first and foremost. 100% or near historical accuracy is going to be impossible but an atmosphere of some historicity is always a good thing.
With this in mind I feel that we can go on, but that it will need to be much more regulated. For example there needs to be one or more input threads for ideas and the discussion of these ideas. These ideas should then be either finalised or scrapped altogether. All other threads should be "action" threads for posting up information, code or bugs etc.
I say all of this because this kind of organisation and streamlining will make the mod an actual feasible project that I may actually find the time to work on and indeed finish.
I am open as ever to any ideas, suggestions, input on this. I am also more than happy to make this a true team effort and put a team together with members handling certain aspects exclusively.
Regards
Caravel
