I'd like to second that (two more things BC has going for it! :D ). At the very least, if we play FactionHeir's mod, could the Big Map mod somehow be added to it? More settlements not only means more space for the player characters to play around in and fight over, but makes it easier to absorb a lot of players. It means more marriages, chidren born, etc since they're tied to the number of provinces you have.

Good point Zim.

I just tweaked my parents with the idea of downloading a mod and they aren't too thrilled about it. My mom is worried about the reliability of a mod that wasn't made by the actual CA. If you would be able to get CA approval for a mod we picked, that would be amazing.

Warluster was supposed to make a larger map for it but he vanished sometime ago with it. That's one of the things I had planned for the mod.

Gibson, to what extent do your parents know what a mod is? I can understand a certain...reluctance to anything that is not "officially" published, but given that
a) a lot of stuff officially published is still crap; and
b) if any sort of problem with a mod is run into, it can be very easily uninstalled, and the game will be back to normal (even more so, now that mods actually have their own locations), I can't help but think their fears should be able to be addressed.

I don't think CA can "approve" of a mod, simply because they would never be willing to take responsibility for something that they do not control.

I was going to say something else of vast intelligence and pivotal to the overall debate, but it has escaped me.

Deguerra, your thoughts parallel my own. I think they're afraid a mod would alter something non-M2TW based or have some secret Spyware. Maybe I'd accidentally download it from some shady place that hides viruses along with. Who knows? Haha.

They were OK with my fixes though?

They must not use the internet!?

You have more problems surfing and visiting sites then you do loading a trusted mod on to your computer. There are a lot of nasty things out there and at least they are aware of potential issues but a trusted gaming mod would should not be a concern.

I am very vigilant what I download and where I surf so I can see where they are coming from but I have never had an issue with a popular gaming mod.
