Medieval: Total Realism

[3.14]

If you're talking about a Medieval EB, I will talk to Khelvan about it. What I want to avoid is another "RTR vs EB" competition. I know him well anyway so I'm sure that we'll be able to make an honest deal. ;)

Cheers!

Ach!

Oh and yes I said "Logical sequel" because MTR isn't 100% unrelated to RTR. As I said in the little disclaimer, "MTR is NOT an undertaking of the actual RTR team."

Very good idea. Healthy competition is all well and good, but here I think it might end up being a pointless duplication of work and waste of scarce modder time.

I suggest, perhaps, a different name than "Medieval: Total Realism." It associates the project with the RTR team, which has it's own problems. I don't have a good alternative, but leaving it MTR in my opinion causes too many problems. Like "Total Realism" in general, it seems to be a challenge, as if only this mod is realistic, or that it is the be-all and end-all for historical accuracy. I know that isn't what you say or mean, but that's just the way it sounds. In contrast, "Europa Barbarorum" could mean anything.

My (probably unwelcomed) $0.02 on the name of the project.

My other $0.02 involves praising the initiative and saying how needed this will be. I hope you guys really research and everything.

And I hope you'll find people outside of the RTR team to help you guys! New blood, more creativity, all that jazz.

We do have more than just RTR people working on the mod. Of course, those I mentionned in the announcement are all RTR guys but we have a lot of quality people from outside of the community and are still looking to add some more.

As for the name, well I don't think that we'll change it. It means what it means but I'll stick with the philosophy of "The best idea is always your first". But thanks anyway for your 2 cents.

Ach!

Yes, i think it would be good to group the realism mods together, something like has been done for the hl2 mod 'black mesa', with the different mod teams working together for a more efficient and better mod.
