I believe that we lack publicity, although the work that is being made here is considerable. So i asked the TW center to provide us with a sub-forum, additional to the .org so more people will get interested in our work. Here is the link www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=390Rex i was made moderator and there is still room for one more, i thought this could be you, i contacted the administrator and said you can do so, but you may need to register first. If you are already registered, you can contact Halie Satanus I would like to have a brief description of our mod to publish in this forum. I have already published a list with our names, but i want your help with this forum. Thanks, in advance

Halie Satanus told me that 2 people can be moderators. I thought of asking Rex, being the mod leader and all. If he doesnt want, then be my guest. But its up to Rex

Ok, guys i decided that the best way to get people familiar with our mod and the civs is to publish in the TW center thread a brief description of each civ every Monday starting from the coming one. I can write about the Inca this Monday, so that leaves you more than one week, but i would like descriptions about the Mapuche, the Diaguita and the rest, except for the Inca, the Maya and the Aztecs. The scripti should not exceed 350 words. You can publish it here and i can copy it to the INCA TW thread giving you of course the credit for all the work and research you have done. Rex maybe you can help me with this?

On second thought, i need all you guys helping me. Visit the thread, read the posts and see if there is anything missing. I intend to make the thread a class A advertisement center for our mod

I think it may be a good idea to kewl on the news. We should not show people things until they are done, or nearly done, so they don't get the impression that they are going to stay like that. We should release things in official news blasts. We should have Murf make us some "Inca Total War News Blast" headers, include as many graphics as possible (where appropriate), and check everything for spelling. We can post the news releases here, check them over, then copy them to the Center and the Org. That is what I think at least. Proffesionalism attracts people.

Hmmm, I agree. But the thing is that lately there hasnt been much feedback in our mod and I decided to take an initiative. I know we should discuss all the releases and everything i post in the tw center, but in the meantime other mods, like Narnia for example, gets credit for having done bearly sth. Do you know that Narnia mod leader has got an interview in the tw center and Narnia hasnt not even one unit made? They have some units they borrowed from another mod, two i have made for them (and they havent given me credit for that, but i dont mind) and except for that nothing. But they got that interview because oscar reeve, the leader of the mod has advertised his mod everywhere, posting about a zillion posts to everyone and he has got attention. We, on the other hand, have over 55 unique units, we have started the map, progressed with other aspects but publicity is below zero. I suggest you all help me with the tw center, post in the appropriate links and correct me if i have done sth wrong. But we need to act, thats what i think. Anyway tell me what sort of action i should take and i will.

I could handle the publicity if you'd like. You or Rex could post them if you'd like since you're mods, but I could write them and stuff. I could coordinate with Murf and we could have nice graphics and everything. We can advertise just as much as oscarreeve, but make ours look a lot more proffessional. I will handle that if you'd like. Though they do not apply directly, I have taken some courses in professional advertising and I have some pretty good strategies. As currently I am only skinner (and after next week I will be working my butt off) I feel that I am not contributing as much to the mod as I could and would be heppy to take another task on. This is one of the only thigns I'm good at anyway. Lord and Emporer of the Universe P.S. It is good that you took the initiative and did that. The mod needs publicity, I just think that we should re-think our strategy.

Post by Vuk on May 11, 2007 14:41:48 GMT
lol, I will. Skinning is my primary job, and I want to see them done well. I just think that I could do more for the mod by doing both. My last final is Thursday next, but then we are having a celebration party Fri, so don't expect me to get much done. I will get down to serious skinning the week after next. I think I will probably finish all the skins in a month at the most, best case. Vuk

Also, on the TWC forum we will post only FINISHED STUFF, previews, and so ! My thoughts exactly. Don't worry, I will make the previews nice and proffessional. It is better to wait a month to release a really nice preview than release an incomplete, unproffessional one every week. Vuk
