I won't be able to work on it all of the time, as I have other work such as my animation work at uni to get done. But, of course, there is no point in rushing, so...

Now...hmmm...what about the messages which popped up telling you of certain events, such as the Alexiad being completed or the Peasant Crusade? Would I be able to do anything similar to those, in that at the press of the turn button, one is told of an event, and say, farming output is increased in a certain province? Or would I be very limited for this?

I'd also love to have emerging factions...but, from the replies, it seems this idea might not make it... I'm guessing XL, since as it uses MTW's map, and isn't a full conversion, didn't have issues with emerging factions being included. But, what are my prospects, then?

Hmmm...as for the Marius Event thing...would I be able to do it so that there is, say, a 'Republic' era and an 'Empire' era (to coin phrases on the hoof)? In that, when you 'enter' the Empire era, you get new units available to build as the Romans, pretty much like the factions in MTW when you pass from Early to High, then High to Late? Or could I only implement one set of units the entire campaign?

Another thing - what are the limits for the map itself? Dimensions, maximum number of provinces, etc? I'd prefer an entirely new map so I can at least get room for Numidia and Parthia. I'd also like a more colourful-look to the campaign map, but is that possible? I have no idea what the limitations of the map-making software will be, and at the moment have no chance to access it (bro is redecorating, so I'm sitting in an awkward position typing all of this ).

Thanks so far. I know absolutely nothing about modding MTW: VI at the moment, but that will change.
