Favorite mod

[Zoythrus]

what is your favorite mod/faction? im asking this for two reasons:
1. just for general knowledge
2. that must mean that mod was doing something right, so maybe we modders can base our mods off of it.

(when i say "faction", i mean like the Indians, Norsemen, Woodsmen, etc.)

[-Archmage-]

I'd say that I like...........

Woodsmen, Romans, and I'll like the new Star Trek mod when it comes out.

My favorite is probably the persians, though I also like the woodsmen, and I wouldn't have made military if I didn't like it!

[Trappin]

All of the latest factions are good. Playing Glest on 2v2 maps against the computer with unmodified resource and fog of war files is loads of fun. I play magic often, tech sometimes and perform poorly with all the others.. still fun though.

[Zoythrus]

i love the woodmen, it is just so original, and it looks really cool (there's a big owl holding a spearman in a basket, it gets no cooler)

[John.d.h]

My two favorites are Magic and Woodsmen, but I really haven't tried very many, so make of that whatever you like.

[ElimiNator]

I like moon, Rome, and pirates the best.

Couse I made all of them.

[Carl the Great]

Mine is the Dark Magic and Elves.

Thanks!

[titi]

Uh only persian is mentioned here? Thats said
My absolute favorite are the indians, because they have a good techtree and beehives
So nobody likes them  ?

Norsemen is also good, but you have to play it a while to know how to play it.
My new favorite currently is egypt. But hey, its my mod and I'm currently working on it ....

If I have to choose from original glest I would vote for tech. Magic gets boring after a while.

[-Archmage-]

I like the MegaPack, but it's not in the top three of my list.

Oh and yes, I like Romans!

[wciow]

Egypt closely followed by Elves.

[-Archmage-]

Wait till you play Elves 0.9.6, it'll be coming out soon!

[titi]

@Archmage: Megapack only on place 3?
So you think don't need all those custom tilesets/maps/factions? (I think everyone like Evergreen)
I think its really a must have!

[-Archmage-]

Yeah, I love evergreen, definitely my favorite tileset!
But I was talking about the MegaPack factions.

[Trappin]

Titi - you make excellent factions and tilesets. All are top shelf. No one makes better textures than you. With that said. No one but you can care about these things and you must do it for your own gratification.

Here is an example.

Me and a friend love Enduro and Observed Trials motorcycles. We decided to organize sanctioned American Motorcycle Association races. We spent 5 years building an Observed Trials motorcycle course. We worked hundreds of hours cutting trail through dense mountain forest and I spent thousands (1000's) of dollars($) of my own money doing this.

We had one of the best designed Observed Trials courses in the US. This is not an exaggeration. The course was so good that two riders flew in from Hawaii to ride our event and others came from Utah, Montana, Arizona and Texas to ride our course in California - some driving 1000 kilometers from home.

what happened?

Riders complained and bitched and whined at us. A simple "thank you" was rare. After 10 years we quit organizing official events.

I still cut motorcycle trail - but only for me and my friends

Thanks for cutting Glest trail titi.

[Loronal]

1. Woodsmen
2. Egypt (best mod you made titi I really like it)
3. Dark Magic (these are the closest to the tech magic standards)
4. Persian
5. Norsemen
6. Romans
7. Nihilirian
Also titi on gameplay I like indians but in model and graphics uhhm i really dont like the models(no offense but colorful airbrush on textures is disappointing next to your other works of art)

[Zoythrus]

i liked the concepts in the Vbros packs, but the dorky smiles got boring... (we need quality over quantity...no offense to anyone)

[-Archmage-]

Trust me "quality over quantity" has been said to the Vejvoda boys tons of times.......
The animation quality seems to stay the same, but the models and textures get improved a bit when you ask Elim for quality.

[Zoythrus]

i like the factions such as the crusaders and the canadians, but eventually you realize that they are all the same thing...

[Loronal]

Yes moon and romans are elims best work

[-Archmage-]

Hey, it was me and Elim.
I made the general's model, didn't texture or animate it though, because back then I didn't know how.
He made the models except the general, he did all textures and animations, I'm currently re-vamping the anims, he also threw together some quick XMLs, which I straightened out.
I came up with the idea, and did the concepts.

[ElimiNator]

I did the hardest part but arch did give some realy good finishing stuff.

[-Archmage-]

Yea, we work good together, I just had to keep throwing cinder-blocks in front of him so he wouldn't go to fast.

[Loronal]

No I wasnt saying that those where his mods just saying that he made the coolest model for those mods

[modman]

I think no one could blame me for liking Dark Magic best.  I put a lot of personal time into it, and so it is hard to like anything anyone else made more than what I make.

For second place, it's really hard.  I always feel like I'll hurt someone's feelings if I answer something "wrong" (maybe that's a psychological disorder ).

Elves definitely makes second place.  It was well done from all aspects.  This might be naive, but why is Arch even bothering to mod it any more?  I like it now.

I'm going to have to say...Persians for third but only because I (sorry in advance titi) haven't gotten the chance to play Egyptians yet.  This also has to do with the fact that I'll also more easily fit Persians into my own personal "Neomagitech" tech tree (which just contains mods which I think belong in Magitech but I also want to play multiplayer).  I'll download Egyptians now.
