okay, folks, sorry for raining on your parade but this forum is a mess. Not to mention i have a serious gripe with information about "total war: realism" having little to no easily gotten "features"

I've spent about 1/2hr and i still haven't any idea about realism modification. All you folks reaching for the "quick flame" button should realize that the vast majority of folks play 'vanilla' and are quite leary of what amounts to glorified hackers telling them to download and install something unknown, just to "try it out"

i'm not interested in "trying it out"...you might call me a troll, but i think i'm pretty brave just to say something completely honest: This forum is horribly user-unfriendly.

would somebody please clean up all the stickies and have some sort of coherent structure that's going to attract people like me to try out some of the hard work you folks have put into this stuff?
