The big IF

[Matrim]

Speaking of Cynwulf's Pocket mod, what all does it entail?

On topic: I would very much like to see the modding community given a boost. I believe it was one of the Civ series games (or one similar to it) that petitioned the game-developers for the source code to the game, after it's "hay day" was past and they were on to other projects with much more up-to-date technology. After a short... 'battle' is too strong a word, but the community got thousands of fans to basically sign up, and the developers were so stunned, they outed the source code.

I wonder if TotalWar will ever release their source code. Unlikely, but who knows?

A full list up to now is:

Tweak Re-Emergence of Defeated AI

E.g. Once the Pope is gone, the fool is gone. I'm not saying he can't re-emerge like any other faction, but is it me, or does this guy come back more often than anyone else? I'm not saying cut him off, but make it a little more... realistic. It's sad when the Pope brings a larger army to fight you than the Mongols. (No joke: 5,600~ Mongols showed up in 1230. The next year 6,200 Papal clowns tried to bring down my parade.)

And I honestly wouldn't mind some of the Rebel provinces setting up to take control of neighboring lands. No doubt there would be some warlords with some ambition, and not simply sit idly by waiting for their neighboring superpowers to snatch them up. Like the Burgundians or Swiss popping up, have the run-of-the-mill rebels set up to do some fighting of their own (but no kings for them, just regular troops). Or somesuch.
