The ethics of modding

[NaeBlis]

Yes, you're right, the public has the right to inform you of any problems your mod might have. However, this is not what the "RTR project...rant" does. It doesn't provide any positive/constructive criticism (which is the kind you state is acceptable). The problem with RTR, according the starter of that thread is not bug-related, but content-related.

Now the issue here is that its the modder's choice of what content the mod will possess, and it doesn't mean you start up a thread because you don't like something about a particular mod.

hi all
i must agree what duke john says, im a player not a great modder when i use a mod i want a good mod not crap.
and its right its for the community, made from the community and its for the community.
when some modders think they are tooo awesome and dont like share their wisdom with the other modders then dont call yourself modder, make a company and made games for sale.
the community before rome total war was much better and friendlier too each other.
the modders from medieval total war are great they have answered all questions and when you not understand while you from another country like me they explained it again and "shared" their wisdom with you!

and yes the currently mods are not bad but not the greatest work.
total realism is not so realistic as it says the barbarians in example the horde formation its not real they are barbarians yes but they are not dumb, many of them are disciplined enough to made a square formation.
think about the defeat of the legions from varus in the teutoburger wald!

the good side from total realism is the ZOR system thats a genius idea or from the augmentation pack(total realism too hehe) the new units thats good :) and those domain thing.

pls do not think i will flame anyone!(my english is not so good and i must use the words that i know hehe) i like your works but do not harass the other modders like duke john he is good modder!
and pls forgive me when i have something spelling wrong or i have attacked someone that was not my mh dont know a word for that hehe
and think always we are all in the same boat we are the community !!!!!!!

The modding community closeness is definetly not what it was since Romes release, not being rude there but its the truth. For me now there seems to be a race with people to bring out a mod just to have one out. Although a few like the Europa and others are taking its time and mods such as those will be great when they are relased.

I haven't modded Rome for months due to real life commitments(i really hate those ) but when i have released my final super mod i'm going to to work on something which hopefully doesn't tread on anyones toes.

What i will say is that modding whether in a team or singular is bloody hard work. I enjoy constructive criticism but people who just moan about a mod really annoy me, they obviously have not the foggiest idea how much time and effort that goes in from the modders part.

yes thats true, ive tried it with some smaller modifications add units, add buildings balancing troopstats thats now not so easy like medieval(medieval modding is hard).
too add new citys and provinces like in total realism i cant do that or becoming the idea of making something like the ZOR system, or the DOMAIN thing in aug pack 1.5 .
or the making of new units.

but the godlike thinking and looking down on the others thats annoy me.

i have a question too you BKB do you convert the super mod too RTW?
and can i help you? i learn fast when someone teach me too do that.
