« on: 26 February 2014, 16:20:48 »
So what to people think about some kind of in-game centre pack(s) with these?

Woodsmen
Undead
Prax
Japanese
Iroquois
Dwarves
Elves
Imperial

If my opinion it will be polished and balanced techtree then it's good idea,
otherwise it should contain only unknown factions (unavailable in mods' centre now),
that means without: Prax, Japanese and maybe Imperial (if versions are the same e.g. in Imperial_mg).

Sounds good to me, but what is Japanese downloaded as? Its an awesome faction and should be playable with other factions, not just on its own.

So far, Titi and Softcoder have had the final say o what goes into the mod downloads. I don't know all of these factions, but if someone will prepare variants of them which are properly packaged techtrees and meet the formal criteria (or they already do) then they sure should be added. Note that some of these are already available on the mod menu (Prax, Japanese, Imperial).

The same goes for techtrees which combine two or more compatibly-licensed factions, where balancing changed have been applied (to make them compatible) and tested (for more than 5 minutes).

Woodsmen
Undead
Prax
Japanese
Iroquois
Dwarves
Elves
Imperial
Well I feel all those mods look quite different. Personally I'd like to see more alike mods grouped together. But I think these mods would work well together.

Japaneese
Undead
Woodmen
Elves
Prax

Imperial, Imperial 2, and  Dwarves have a more cartoon feel than the others IMO.

It is playable with other factions > East vs Mega,
but isn't well balanced and somehow noone likes to play on it,
and "on its own" Japanese is nice, I've played on it many times.

I think a good and balanced techtree can be: Imperia l- Woodmen - Undead - Japanese. Dwarves are not good with other factions that have you wroten, in my opinion.
