I don't think it needs exposure to survive. Many mods for MTW survive simply because it was uploaded on some obscure server years and years ago and no one bothered taking it down.
It's nice that you're still around Axalon. I haven't been here for ages. I'm even more impressed that you're still keeping Redux updated.

I wish I could sink some hours back into these mods (or games in general!), but I've been swept away with all sorts of things. I think I've added "releasing an MTW mod" to my bucket list, so even if these new fangled computers can't run MTW, I'll still do my best to release a mod.
