PS I think we should get on our asses one day and make a cooperative "vanilla" mod. I feel enough "mature" to do that in MTW and i am sure you do too ;)

It shouldn't drag over a long period of time (we'll just drop it in that case most likely). We should just set up the fundamental principles, translate them to concrete actions, divide the workload and get it done in incremental steps (while keeping a log of the versions marked by the implemented actions while trying each change to safeguard for gliches and crashes). Then, we can release it here and see what Main Hallers think - in this way can have plenty of play testing. If concentrated effort is made, helped by say doing it over Xmas or something, i am pretty confident that we can have it done within 2 weeks (action only - not concepts). In things that we disagree, we can offer different versions (with/without naval aspect etc), if concensus is not reached among us.

In this way, you won't have to deliberate whether you should give in or not to the modding urge ;) There would be a place to start right here.

Can share your thoughts here or in pm.
