Re: For Moderators, an idea!
Hello Folks,
Let me kindly explain please:
For example, I downloaded Hellenic Total War after Lord Zimoa and the Gerousia totally finished it, which is wonderful. The site for maintaining HTW was at a certain point maintained (financed) by LZof solely, I believe, and/or others. In other words, it cost him &/or others money to have it on the net, eventually it was pulled and I found out, NOT fully completed! Hence my question about how this forum is being financed.
Some people posting in this forum, get anxious about certain mods availability or date of full release. I, for one, have been a student for these past 5 years, and have tried to give input towards mods, when possible and I have had money issues. Now that I'm done school and have gotten a "real" job I can contribute financially to the construction of a mod, which I think that would make mods happen.
Time, effort, energy is spent going into these excellent modifications, and everyone should contribute historically, monetarily, somehow, to get a mod done. If people coming into this forum, like me, are initially told to please contribute somehow, I believe, every proposed mod would completed.
I am not a dictator/facist and most definitely not into censuring thought or people coming here or not.
My only concern is that mods that I've seen get started, end 1/4th or 1/8th or 1/2 of the way and that financing a conceptual mod, if legal, should be done or monitoring people to see that they give something instead of just getting or complaining should be done as an idea. Thats' all.

Contribute in what respect? I like everyone to contribute, but the truth of the matter is that completely new people to the forum aren't going to be able to contribute to a developing mod until they've gained a certain degree of modding knowledge - and for that the community (in the form of answering questions and writing tutorials) has to be there for them first.

How would such a system operate?
Regarding Myrrdhal's post
Hello Folks,
I understand "major" modifications like Zhan Guo or Vlad Total war or Chivalry Total war to be actually new TW games.
If they are new games, then it would logically follow that if CA itself developed them, CA WOULD charge money for them, right? right.
All I say is contribute. Somehow.
I've seen money to be a GRRRREAT contributor to mod success.
Myrrdhal sir, you're right this community is more than just that a community.
I, for one, WILL give money or whatever payback to those mods that are done provided I like them, ie. via a preview, demo, etc. It's no problem, if they'll take what I give.
I will also go to where Epistolary Richard directed me to go and see how this community here is financed. If this community takes contributions, I WILL CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY. Period.
I am not a leech. I reward work done through money or input.
That is my final post. I hope everyone understands. Thank you :2thumbsup:
