Because people would have seen every unit before downloading the mod. Then it wouldn't be interesting. Take Argalius as an example. He don't post many screenies.
But a few, yes. :-P
I'll start on some buildings on Friday, and in the 4 days weekend. I'll get LOTS of time then.

Well... I have to log of the computer now.

You probably shouldn't post everything that happens.

For example, when I was helping the LoTR mod, we tried to not release very much. There are several pages of cards, units, stats, buildings, etc that the mod was being built on, but no one other than the "developers" saw.

I can do PR _{(public relations)} management for this mod. Would you like me to?

So what would you do then (What is PR for a mod)?

And I agree we shouldn't release everything, but at least a showcase for every unit.

Found a spelling mistake. In your picture of the sword rider, it should say chance, instead of change

WOW!!!!!! That Improved looks so amazingly good!!! Great Work, Linus.

I'm busy with the Lancer now and you all can guess which unit I'll use for the Great Lancer and Lancer Legend...

I would try and make sure what gets out is managed. Instead of having floods of information, new information or more information comes out, for instance, once a week. I would also try to make sure things are fairly standardized. ex:

(2 pictures)

Probably, I could set up a Google docs to collaborate information. Essentially, I would just make sure information gets out at the right time while working on mod aesthetics.

General II, it looks cool, but it says: Ordinary swordsman, which is just a swordsman, and legendary swordsman, which is an improved swordsman. Also, that font (bleeding cowboys) is nice for titles, but a bit hard to read. Also, I liked my text more.
Wow, that's a lot of negative talk...

Anyway, I think it should be standardized too, but on a different standard.

@Linuchadnezzar,
Did you use the Highlander model for the swordsman?

Sorry, was in a bit of a hurry and wasn't clear. For the pics, I was trying to show that I could help reformat the pics so they took up less space, by "formatting" the pics I had, they use about only 44KB- compared to the average 130KB of the showcases being posted.

I think having a PR guy would be helpful to keep people interested through releasing information in "useful" amounts. Some of the mods we have lots of stuff at one time, then no one hears about them until much more stuff is done. The collaboration would also be useful. It would also allow for me to learn what unit icons I need to make.

Yes, well, I get that you did that, but why? I like them more when they're zoomed in.

OK, so then we'll all post our news on for example Friday? That seems quite a good idea. This prevents us from the first timeline and gives us the second:

!!!!-----------------------------------!!-------------!!

!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!----!

!=News
-=No news

I'll surely agree with that. So let's say Friday?

*gasp* good skins! I'll play your mod when it's done. Keep the good work. I also loved the thread design, but you could have "centered" the logo.

My email is general.second@gmail.com. If you would send me pics and stuff, I can compile them and release accordingly. Keeping with what Tahattus said, I could "write out" a BB code if you'd like.

Hmm... I'll start making textures today. I suppose Spanish will use a culture that looks somewhat like the Mediterranean culture already in game? I'll just edit it a little bit.

I saw a good movie, some days ago. (The creator of it seams to like Queen) It really gave me an idea for the Britons.

@Northern Marvin: The Spanish and Italian use the Meditterean culture, the rest is up to you although I'd really suggest you to use the indian culture as a base for the Arabians and Moors.

@Linuchadnezzar: OK, I'll do

@Lord Tahattus: I know you stopped making flags, but could you please make the ones for this mod?
