Hi
I have been playing (and loving) your mod, and reading these forums, for a while now.
What strikes me is the staggering amount of work and research you have done on pretty much all aspects of the ancient world, (the Pahlava naming thread illustrates my point).
Anyway, it occured to me that it would be great if all the information you have gathered were accumulated in one place! Histories of factions and individuals, political and military information like the goals they aspired to, units they used and the strategies and tactics they developed, as well as events like battles and conquests all seem to have been exhaustively researched, not to mention aspects of ordinary life in the various cultures of that time (I just read that someone actually went to Spain to harvest mussels just to see what colour a particular dye was... Now thats dedication (or do I mean obsession?)).*
Ok, this is probably a dream, but I would love to see all this stuff gathered together (an EB game guide/history primer?). Probably not high on your agenda at the moment, but certainly icing on the cake, when you release, and have a quiet spell with nothing much to do...
Thanks again for the tremendous effort you have all put into this incredible mod, and I look forward to losing a few more months of my life when .8 comes along.
edit: *And maps. The ones you used for load screens in .74 are a great touch, and really give you a feel for the world as it was then.
