To the Lords and Wellington

I was fascinated by the Napoleonic era ever since and I've done lots of research and reading about this time, especially in regards of the military aspect of the subject.

Unfortunately there is no game dealing with warefare in these times and so I was very excited, when I first found this thread. Especially when I realised that some of the most gifted modders posting in this forum would take part.

So it was kind of a pain to see Wellington leave the team and starting to work for his own Nap Mod.

What has happened? Wouldn't it be better, to merge abilities and efforts together. In my - the forum newbie's opinion - a mod like this needs both: The analytical brain of Welly with his very systematic approach to all problems and the gifted abilities of the Lords in actually modding units and graphics. What a waist of energy and effort to do two mods about the same subject.

Don't you think that there might be a way to get over it and start cooperating again?

Just my thoughts (and it was so important for me to say that - it actually was the reason I decided to actively take part in this forum). Not meant to offend anyone.

Anyway - I would prefer to see you back in one team again but in case you won't like to do that, I offer my - limited - services to anyone of the both teams. As my free time is few I probably will not be able to take part in establishing the conceptional structure of this mod but I can fulfill clearly stated and "non-epic" tasks.

My knowledge about this time is quite well and over the time I've collected a number of some 400 books about Uniforms and warfare in the time of Napoleon. So I probably could provide you with data about and images of leaders and uniforms of that time. My photoshop skills are good enough to mod graphics of other games - so they probably will be good enough for mtw as well - and I have a scanner.

As I would really like to play a mod like that I'm very willing also to do some work for it. Just tell me what you need and I tell you if I can do it and - if yes - when it will be ready.

Again I would like to repeat, that it was double fun for me to work for a reunited team but finally it's - of course - your decision.

Best wishes to all of you
Hal

First of alI bid you welcome, and thank you for your post,While it is admirable what you are trying to do .Theres a few parties involved, that choose not to communicate in this matter, and have taken what i see as drastic measures that others could not communicate with them, I will not lie I am sure feelings were hurt, but as far as I am concerned if you VOLUNTEER to assist people on a project , then pull out midway and cut all lines of communication other than the public forum of the post, then so be it, If the parties inovolved did not have the courtesy to say hey , I am out for now, I have to much going on, that is not understanable,but instead want to play childish games again thats there choice. to my knowledge nothing was said or done to insult any or all parties involved, so how it came to this I dont know, and I hope it works out, if said parties choose to open the lines of communication and then we can go from there, other than that this is a most disturbing, unfortunate turn of events.. not what I would expect from mature adults or friends...

My two cents worth.

I must say I agree. Welly has done some great work on mods and his LMM program. Not to mention the help he has given to many fellow modders, myself included has been invaluable. to see a great mod like this break down, due to whatever reasons doesnt seem right.
The same can be said for LK, im not sure what the differences the two of you had, but im sure they can be reconciled,

Welly I'd hate to see your presence in these forums go, as i said youve been a great help to many people here, we all hope with a little more patience we can continue to rely on your insights and skills and the future of MTW's mod's can be guaranteed.

Just to clarify, I'm not working on a different Nap mod (having re-read my original post in the Nap thread I see that I did'nt make this clear).

All I'm doing is working on a Campaign map that can be used for the Nap period. Once it's ready the Nap mod can use this new campaign map or not - whatever. The idea is that the work that LK and the Lords are doing, and what I'm doing will be complimentary - not competative.

Due to the time it takes to do such things it makes sense to 1 thing well rather than several things less-well, which is why I reluctantly could'nt offer 100% to the other aspects of the Nap mod.
