    Default [Request for Permission] For use of siege equipment for RTRVII submod

    Apologies if this is not the correct way to inquire about pemission requests. I am making a small submod for RTRVII in which I hope to be able to include the siege equipment, more specifically the Triakontamnaioi Lithoboloi (Thirty-mina Stone Projectors) and the Talantiaioi Lithoboloi (1 talent Stone Projectors) from EB, as well as the unit cards and unit descriptions. I always found it frustrating that the RTRVII devs didn't include these most important weapons for the Greeks and Romans. Thanks for your time.

    I guess I can't edit my posts, yet. I just wanted to add that I regularly am on the TWC forums (same name) but someone there recommended that I ask here because they say that EB members are more active at the .Org. Thanks again.

    Your request has been noted. We will discuss it and one of the team will be in touch with you shortly. And thank you for asking permission.

    Just remember friend, it is easier to ask for forgiveness, than permission.

    When I made a mod for WC3, I used everything I wanted without asking, but prominently displayed the authors name and thank them in the loading screen credits. Never had a problem.

    In the TW modding scene requesting permissions are considered common courtesy, rarely is permission not granted when a specific request is made as well.
    Hence I wouldn't be following this advice.

    True, another modding community(aoe3) I'm a member of, also holds the permission asking in high regard. Noncompliance is usually penlized with the supreme punishments Internet community law allows.
    Deliquents have a hard time, as they are often banned from comunity led forums and tend not to get permission even if they ask, also nobody likes them.

    So I would certainly ask for permission unless I'm sure that nobody cares.

    Its just common courtesy, they obviously put a loooot of time and effort into making something that is a labor of love and the fact that they should have the right to allow someone or not to use what they've created, goes without saying. It's a moral issue, besides being against the rules. Also why some risk getting your mod remove and/or banned because your too lazy too post a thread or send a PM, is beyond my comprehension. Sure you might be able to get away with just using someones stuff without asking, just credit them, it could work, but I know what it takes to mod and I ask out of respect, if nothing else.
