A New Name for Aberration II


The Archduke is back and will be working once again on his project, Aberration. Aberration II has become a different project from Aberration. Not so much in the broad picture and the general goals, but certainly in how these goals are acheived and the kinds of things that we are designing.

There is room for many more Aberration-type mods, and I for one wish the Archduke and all who contribute to that project the best in the work that lies ahead of them.

The Archduke has requested that we rename our mod, so that there is no confusion aurrounding the two mods. Not many of us would be troubled, but new players will be easily misled.

The Archduke has also offered that we stay in the forum, but I have made a request that we be granted a separate forum, with all of the threads created since March 1, 2005 to be moved across. I have not yet heard back. If the answer is no, then we'll stay here and have to use mod names to identify which is which. I suppose.

So, to the business of renaming. My personal preference is that we get a sense of Alternate History in the name, but Alternate History is about as poetic as AGC/EEP as a title. :D

Thoughts and suggestions?

I am still in high hopes of actually forsaking Aberration and create Aberration new from Abe II. but I am kinda set on not having England lite, Portugal lite and France lite for any reason. Question is, must those be in?
 
Well, you also said you wanted to get rid of the Caliphate as a non-negotiable. I am deeply commited to the Calipahet and think its the finest file I've seen in any mod.
 
Well, my big issue in Aberration was that the Caliphate was a total unstoppable behemonth. Nothing is non-negotiable apart from Portugal/France/England lite and I hope you understand why I wouldn´t like them in.

Caliphate especially doesn´t need so much goodies, especially the two barracks.


There are LOTS of Stuff I like about Abe II actually. :)
 
Something snazy like "Tales from al-Andalus" or "Shattered World" or "Chapters of Europe"

The two barracks events - one was made to destroy KoJ and the other is no different than the Cordoban events (we can get rid of it anyway).You have to remember the CAL file hasnt been finished ; at all.

Goodie events maybe, but CAL has a good share of bad events.Considering the large state it is, the revoltrisks and stab hits tend to drive any player crazy.

So, instead, you'd join Aberration II if there was compromise on the France, England, Portuagl issue ...

Thats a very different story from our private communications.

And, Aberration II is an open team. I have back down on a lot of issues and included material I didn't strictly agree with. Aberration I does not have that approach ...

And I think you might want to read the Caliphate file and update your understanding of it.
 
I can´t give out moderator privilegies, anything needs to be done, just tell me, I happily help.

And I hope I don´t put on too much of a brake anything here, but I don´t we should break the mods apart just yet. But there are some things which I don´t understand why they are in..

And maybe option for RotW aberration for multiplayer especially and no AGCEEP overtakes. I dislike the event flood from there.:)

By the way, Archduke, you should give moderator privilages in this forum to MattyG and Incompetent, so they can stick-close-delete topics.

I don't think a moderator can grant moderator priviledges, an administrator has to do that.

A new name? What about "EU2, but with different majors" or "EU2BWDM" ;)
 
I checked a latin-english dictionary LOL

Insolitus Universalis

Alienus Universalis

The list of non-acceptables is growing longer. Aberration II has now also too many events, and the Rest of the World material will all be a turn on option, not part of the basic set up. We have very few AGCEEP things here and they are all 'fill' until that region gets Aberrated. I actually can't think of many apart from the Incas and the Sonhai, the latter of which is being extracted very soon.

I think that if you want a real merger of some kind, then the detail needs to be laid out, especially where you are prepared to compromise. There are many critical issues of vision, style and decision-making that need to be on the table. ;)
 
Lets just go with a schism Matty, isnt that how you infidel Catholics and Orthodox seperated and FLOURISHED? ;)
