Ok, guys... If Rex doesn't mind, i'd like to allocate tasks: Active Members: Rex Caius Murfios BK Merlitos Fili RM#3 (Mabye) RichyG Jobs to be Done: Map UI Unit Descriptions Unit Names Unit Stats Historical Advisory Skins Models Names Borrowing BattleMap Textures from Tamiriel Traits Buildings Jobs: Rex & Caius: Map Murfios: UI, Skins, BattleMap Textures BK: Unit Descriptions, Unit Names, Unit Stats Merlitos : Models Fili: Historical Advisory, Names Vuk: Skins RM#3 (Mabye): Unit Stats, Traits RichyG: Buildings If we can all do our part, we might get this mod out very quickly. @caius: Please try to work hard on this map, we will need everything from the Aztec Territory to the Augurna and Inca... @rex: if you can help set deadlines and all for Caius to have different parts done, we could get the map done in record time... Murfios: You are the head of the 2D Department, just tell me if we need some more balance in the 2D job area... @merlitos: You are our resident unit modeler, thats enough of a job for now, just please remember that historical accuracy is the top priority... @fili: You are probably our best historical advisor that we have left, if you think we need to change anything, please let Rex or me know... Vuk: Please keep up the good work on those skins, we may have a Beta earlier than June or so!! @rm#3: I know you are working on a couple other mods, but since you joined the team as a coder, we might as well finally put you to use if you have the free time... RichyG: Since you dont have as much time as Merlitos to do modeling, you can work on the smaller part, Buildings, just get Fili to send you some building refrences... ByzantineKnight

ahem, Meliritos doesnt have much free time eighter. Sorry to inform you but I work in the Greek Foreign Ministry and Im in the diplomatic core. I understand that you all have lessons but my job isnt a game also. Its not like I sit around all day. And the fact that i make models is because i sleep at 4 o;clock in the morning and i wake up at 7 to go to work. But i feel comitted to this project and i want to see it released. And i try to remember what the word "personal life" means but i cant remember. So please, when you say that I have free time, well...its kind of insulting. The previews week i was working around 15 hours a day. But your initiative is welcome and a most suitable one. At last it was time someone tried to put things in order. Bravo, for the initiative.

In reality it sounds like i have more free time than Merlitos lol...
for me its around 5 hours a day on uni work [mon - fri], 1 hour personal fitness, 5 hours social with friends [wednesday], Saturday i try to spend as much time as i can with my gf, 5 hours most days research and development of games design and sunday im in work [part time job] all day.
@merlitos: You shouldnt push yourself too hard for this mod, granted the work needs doing but RL comes first. For me this is development of my skills and portfolio for my carear, for you its just fun and rewarding.

Thank you, and I'm so sorry to offend you, i didn't know... I agree with Richy, you shouldnt push yourself too hard, but i wont tell you to do anything. Just let Rex, Me, or Richy know if you might need help...

I have taken the task to make new units for 8 civs, and i will do it. And if Richy doesnt eventually have the time i will do buildings also. This mod cought me in a really tight instance in my life when i broke up from a relationship and now Im prepairing myself to go abroad to an embassy and work for, so I said no personal life for me and i put this mod my priority. That is why sometimes i push you also hard, because i have taken up this task as a real life job, and sometimes i expect you to do the same, sorry guys, Ill try to harnesh myself. But Richy i used to do cartoons when i was young and i thought 3d max would give me the opportunity to continue my work on that subject. And who knows when one day you become top executive in a 3d studio you can call yourself Meliritos to work part time for you, i believe i can manage my way through 3d modelling

Either way, seeing your dedication i may see fit to recruit you earlier but it would be very stressful work as it would run parrellel to a full time job... I presume then you got a few years on most people in this mod who are school goers, i think im one of the oldest here.

no in fact i guess i am the eldest, I am 32, old enough to be a parent to some of you, he he. And stress, i like. Its part of my everyday life. I am kind of workaholic. I work around 10 hours a day and sometimes when there is a visit from a head of another state or sth(and this happens a lot), i work 12-16 hours (yes, the previous week i came to office at 8.30 and left at half past midnight). I go to gym 3 to 4 times a week and i learn Bulgarian. So what do you think of my schedule?

Its impressive!! lol I couldnt do that, i enjoy my spare time too much and im more of a fun-a-holic ... i used to drink like all the time so thats probably why... i put on 2 stone just cus i drunk too much.. im back to 11 stone now.
I dnt wish for this to travel off topic too much... the organisation is fine by me but some of us (primarilly your 3d artists) are probably the busiest along side the most to do right now... Free time kicks in soon so ill put about 50% of my time into this. should provde around 15 hours a week modelling for this mod.

I am afraid that I am not nearly that industrious. I am so bogged down with finals that I usually only have enough time to check here every now and then and post. (I usually post when I am at school when I can skin anyway). After finals I will work as hard as possible to get the skins done as fast as possible. Good work Mel, but don't kill yourself . Vuk

Guys, 2 missing guys are need.
SSJVegeta(where is he?) and Antarki, our advisor.
So, we need to recruit another modeller(no offence Mel, but you are overloaded.You need to stop.)
Im working on the map.Im having a problem with 3dem, I guess im doing the things wrong.
Also, we are starting to coordinate with Rex.
Quotes arent done.Some are damaged or somewhat so Rome crashes.We dont want to give the people a game that wont start.tanit should be contacted, he told us he was going to fix the problem.
loading screens for Inca are done.Murfios made the loading screens so bigger, so I need to rezise.Maybe we are needing more
Splash Screen:Make this, use units from the mod, huge size, showing how they are going to charge one upon the other.Or celebrating.I know Im running out of ideas, but something more can come later.
Names:If someone can reorganizate all the names we have, maybe someone(Im offering to do this if its necesary) can do it, and that count as something less to do.
Some notes:
-Animations goes too.When Mel does every unit, I will usae 3ds max to create animations. -What we had done in descriptions?
Caius

If you can handle the animations, thats just fine. But dont worry about my workload ive been working since i was 18 and i studied in the meantime. I worked as a journalist, I have an MBA in management, specialized in human resources management, i speak three languages, English, German and now Bulgarian, and a little bit of French. so i guess i can handle pressure, in fact modelling for you guys is fun. dont worry i can handle what im assigned to do. and byz no you havent offended me dont worry. i will finish all units by the end of may and then we will need the mercs, the captain and the banner carriers, right? all these i will do, dont worry. oh and some time i will need to make the smaller resolutin cas files, those i sent you are the high, we need to make the medium, low and ver low cas files, like in the vanilla game

I just want to make sure I'm not chasing my tail here with the map. If Caius is working on it, I'll be more than happy to help him with what he's created or focus my efforts elsewhere.
