Colaboration with mod "Imperium Universalis" #52

Closed PhelanBavaria closed 8 years ago

PhelanBavaria commented 8 years ago

Imperium Universalis is a mod also set during the Ancient times. Their map doesn't represent the whole world however, so I don't think that we are at direct rivalry to them. I didn't want to approach them without having your guy's approval, so what do you think? Should we collaborate with them?

I don't think so, I think that would limit us and undermine the project. Their focus is Rome, and anything before Rome seems to be ignored. Also the quality of their research is not high. On 12 May 2016 19:23, "PhelanBavaria" notifications@github.com wrote:

I haven't really seen much, I'm looking at it now.

They seem to ignore anything outside of Greecaly On 12 May 2016 19:27, "Science-Recon" notifications@github.com wrote:

I agree with the research part... But they have some nice events, balance stuff and they also want to create unit models. I think we could benefit from each other.

Science-Recon commented 8 years ago

How would collaboration work? Would we somehow merge the two things together or move to them completely, or are you just suggesting we swap certain code? (Events/art/stuff)

Firesoul7 commented 8 years ago

I wouldn't be opposed to use of some of their events and models, but I don't see what they would gain from the bargain, and I wouldn't want to compromise our high quality of research to things that are only partly thought out and possibly highly inaccurate.

Collaboration is a good thing. If that mod has some events or other stuff that could be useful in this mod, feel free to ask them for permission.

PhelanBavaria commented 8 years ago

Alright, I added the main developer as friend on Steam, let's see what he'll say. What I meant by collaboration is that we exchange things that are useful. We can help them with history while they can give us events, help with balancing, units and who knows what else.

Firesoul7 commented 8 years ago

That would work.

PanzerfaustJoe commented 8 years ago

Eh, I don't know if I agree with this, but if that is what everyone else wants.

Firesoul7 commented 8 years ago

Turns out the Imperium guy doesn't want to colab with us anyway On 15 May 2016 17:18, "PanzerfaustJoe" notifications@github.com wrote:

Well, it doesn't seem like they want to. I think we should just look at their mod and get inspirations from it. If there is something they do better than we do, then we can try to copy it or make it even better.
