i guess that the original wierdness i felt when i made this thread and got unconforting feedback as disapeared
it would also be interesting to do such things in french dutch deustch arabic farsi turkish and a few more languages that are normally kind of ignored (not everyone speaks english you know) and that are normally don´t have such atractive input on their region such as the bohemians and the boii for instance i mean the mod as great potencial in the arab world poland (luigii) switzerland and a few other places normally neglected in the gaming world
i say this because i once bought a game just for the hype of it regarding a specific time and a specific time period just to discover that the game was kind of a rip off from age of empires set in a diferent timeframe and wasn´t even userfriendly (historians making games when they aren´t properly suported do suck) so a litle time love and tenderness and some specific shinning on peoples ego do go along way to increase the adhesion factor for specific regions
the downside of such an aproach is that normally the people doing the adhesion (gathering on the gangwaggon so to speak) aren´t normally the leveled headed dudes and it sometimes can deteriorate into chauvinistic and nationalistic arguments such as the one´s we´ve seen back in eb1 when the lusitanii where picked over the celtiberians and alot of feelings from a few spaniards where hurt (altough it did took the form of presenting alternatives like the illergetes wich i enjoyed reading quite a bit)
so if properly planed and orchestered this mod as the potencial to go even bigger then rometotalwar2 in quite a few places and countries (belgium comes to mind particulary if in a later release the atrebates or the nervii get included )
