Glad to see you back, Leith (and I hope you've not been too affected by political unrest). I've actually fallen off MTW a little of late; just busy with other things. I am, however, very excited to hear that you're contemplating another mod. I am still quite impressed with your work on VI III, and think it could be even more stellar in a "finished" form, but we all know how it feels to tire of a project, and I certainly consider it a highly playable mod as is. I was looking into Psychonaut's Britannia Divided, at his amazing unit roster (great historical names, etc.), and thinking that it would be an absolutely unstoppable game with: a) a few more factions added, and b) your beautiful skins. Unfortunately, I am a modding illiterate and would have no idea where to start on such a project. Still, between you and Psychonaut (who unfortunately doesn't seem to care about modding MTW anymore), no one's come closer to elevating the Viking campaign to the truly great game it deserves to be. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing what new things you'll bring to the community. The classical hoplite mod sounds a lot like what was done with Hellenic Total War, which––if you haven't played yet––has some superb skins. Also, a Dark Ages mod sounds intriguing. Or did you mean a version of Medieval with a "darker" atmosphere? That would be neat, too. Anyway, all the best in your future endeavours.
