thanks for the tips - to be precise i have got mtw -xl and i know that i'll never be able to anything like that in the near future. What I'm trying to do is maybe edit text files , e.g alter faction name to make them accurate, alter startpos and region ownership, maybe create a new campaign with some new factions, something like that. And I was planning on making semi-new (cloned) units, and i'll need descriptions for that so maybe you could help with that if you like. But I do know what I'm going to do - nothing major e.g new maps etc, just a few alterations. Thanks again - i'll post when the units are ready - probably about a month or so cause i'm away on holiday. I'm only the joint team leader though - this guy from my school was in on this idea as well and for some reason he hasn't posted in this thread yet.... Anyway thanks for the help mate - in fact I was kind of hoping someone would post something like this. But I can't name it until the other team leader bothers to post in this thread!
