Could you not help out one of the many mods struggling to complete? There are many to choose from...or you could sub mod and indirectly help out. What is your area of skill, and your area of interest (historical period/genre etc.)?

Regarding ideas / suggestions for an independent mini-mod, why not create a faction or two that are not too common in the existing mods currently available? If you're willing to create the units from scratch and have enough ideas for faction unit rosters, then that should keep you more than busy for a while. Here's a few faction examples (for RTW unless otherwise stated):

• Illyrians
• Etruscans
• Samnites
• Moors (for BI)
• Boii
• Sarmatians
• Chinese (obviously for larger maps)
• Saka
• Alani

I'm sure there are many more you've thought of yourself, what do you think?

Seconded. Not many people are waiting for yet another mod, but there are many people waiting for mods that are struggling to get finished; particularly when it comes to models and skins, which I seem to recall you are good at.

Well, I will always let a mod have any skins or models i make, it is only fair that people can use my works. However, i feel that personally, that i havent made anything that i can look back on and proudly say 'i did this'.

To be honest, i would be happy for any mod to use any of my stuff, but, in all honesty, i do not want to join any other mods for now. I know they struggle to complete, but at the same time, i feel that it is a modder's right to do what they would like over what is 'needed', after all, it is only a hobby.

Actually, I may just make a couple of 'unofficial' factions to replace some vanilla ones like seasoned alcoholic suggested, it would be quite fun yet allow me some time to make some skins and models for use by mods.

I liek the ancient era, but i feel like every conceivable unit from the rome period has been perfected time and time again, so i dont know what units to do.

Why don't you help Byzantium TW?
We desperately need skinners!!!

I know how you feel man, ive gotten bored with EB and Pike and Musket (hard to belive cause their so AWSOME!) but Im really wanting to play mods that have Islamic factions. So you should probably help Edzy or Caius Britannicus please!

My experience working with MODS is most end up being disbanded and the Mod never released. Or worse, the MOD gets political or autocratic. Both times the experience was miserable and I will never again do it.

I've completely redone the skins for BI, the Traits system, added the hordes capability for 4 more factions, completely redone the unit strengths and weakness. I also added a complete new unit roster for the Sassasoids and Berbers, and added 7 new units for the barb factions. All of these using vanilla style coloring schemes and vanilla style unit cards. I used existing models like the axe heerban and ported it over to all factions through simple recoloring.

I did that strictly for my own enjoyment. I don't have to hear any complaining, 'suggestions', or do something that offends my sensibilities because of someone trying to lord over me.

That I understand completely! Nothing sucks the pleasure out of modding more than being told how to do something by someone who can't do it themselves

A good mod team can be great, providing everyone is working in the same direction. Personally..I work better as a team of one

IF you are still bored and looking for something to do...do something like I did with the 'skeleton' mod for RTW. Just make a new set of themed models to replace a faction. Comedy characters....cartoons....animals. I think a set of Simpsons characters to replace a BI faction .... say...saxons...would be fun!

Maybe a race of H R Giger style Aliens .....
