I am releasing the BETA version of Medieval Universalis III which starts in 1288.

Please contact me with all kinds of feedback so we can have this mod running properly. Thanks.

Dear mandead,
I am sorry you feel the name is your property, but this project has been going on for quite some time now, much longer than your three week old thread on this forum and much before EUIII has been released (early September of 2006): http://europauniversalis2.myfreeforum.org/forum96.php

I found your mentioned thread 10 pages back with the last post dating from two weeks ago. There is no sign of activity or information. You throw around a date in one post, but did not even bother to answer questions posed at you over there.

I admire your enthusiasm, but if you want to be part of a medieval mod, you can help us with some feedback. There's still much to be done and room for everyone.

Also You have to really have something done. No offense but it looks like Tunch is on the ball so it would be best if you both work together.

I don't 'own' the name, it's just the name of my mod. It'd be silly to have two mods (particularly with similar timelines) with the same name.

It's just courtesy, isn't it? If you'd change your name, I'd appreciate it immensely.

Cheers!

Dear mandead,
My mod is currently being uploaded and should be released within 30 minutes or less. I would have loved to see your mod released as well, or at least read something about your progress so far. Unfortunately, all I can find is the mentioned three week old single post claiming your intentions and ideas.

It is a Paradox tradition to name EU mods in a fancy style ending with "Universalis"; please chek the EUII Mod forum:

- Rome Universalis
- Fantasia Universalis
- Arabia Universalis
- Iberia Universalis and so forth...

So it is only reasonable and plausible for me to name my "medieval" themed mod which starts in 1288 as "Medieval Universalis III".

Had you released a mod or made something public before my finished work, I would have gladly changed the name, but it seems we are talking on something that is only in your mind.

So lets get this thing behind us and use our energies for improving the mod.

[Mrdie]

Mandead, I think it'd be great if you worked with Khan. Much better than competition.

[Tunch Khan]

The beta version is ready for downloading.

Neither is my mod in my mind, it's in several MB of text files. I must say, I think you're being rather stubborn, unfair and petty. It's hardly a lot to ask of you; still, best of luck with your mod.

Dear mandead,
Before you start calling me names, remember that you are the first here who accused me of 'stealing' your mod, which only you claim exists. Now why don't you just relax and enjoy my mod or build up something on top of it.

[Faruk]

err I would like to give both of yours a spin, but Tunch seems to have been the only one to release the mod under that title to date correct? why not simply preface your titles for example, (Tunch Khan) Medieval Universalis III so people see who produced which version? a name can just as easily be shared IMO...

at any rate im going to give yours a spin tunch, been trying Magna Mundi mod recently as well. will send any appropiate feedback on issues as they arise.

There is evidence enough several pages back in the EU3 thread, not to mention pages of stuff in the EU2 mod forum.

I remember the original thread for this mod (I contributed to it), and I told you I'd started MU for EU3 there. If you choose not to remember, then that's your business.

Dear mandead,

The evidence you are talking about is your thread here, which dates to 26 November 2006. That is more than two months after I have released my project, which is dated 23 September 2006 and have been active on it in these forums ever since.

And yes, you have aggressively stated the same empty claims back then:

So once again, please calm down and tune your voice to a reasonable level. After that, you are always welcome to contribute here. Speaking of, thanks for your 'contirbution' of posting the English flag. I don'w know how we could have found it otherwise.

[SirGrotius]

One should be called Medieval Universalis III and the other Medieval Universalis 3.

[SeanB]

Mandead, why don't you just join in and help this mod? I don't get what the big deal here is...

[cool-toxic]

This looks really great Tunch!
Hope that we'll get alot of small provinces in the mideast.

I would be happy to help.


Btw, i also think that you two should maybe try to merge the mods, i think it's too big a mod to make two seperate of, it would be better to focus on one big.

[monsterfurby]

Holy fishbread, while this is a gread mod, it appears people like behaving immaturely..
Tunch, what's the big deal about just renaming it to something else.. I don't know, "Feudalis Universalis", "Deus Vult", "Sword and Cross" and so on are just as good possibilities. Besides, Medieval Universalis doesn't really fit into the "(Latin Word) Universalis" convention..

What isn't working? They seem to be working as they should, that is, everybody starts with the technologies which have a start date before 1288, which is level 0.

well, I can not confirm that. It is working like normal and appearing on January 1st 1793. If you want it to end at another time you need to change it in the exe (see my guide). Also why do you have the game start on 30th May? any specific reason? You can easily change that, too.

EDIT: oops, I just realised you meant the summary of the rulers reigns and not the end of game screen you get in 1793. Sorry.

[brukmann]

if only the leaders of the israeli and palestinian states could learn from these two about how to resolve your differences when faced with the challenge of a situation where two have legitimate claims to the same thing...

okay, sorry, that wasn't helpful. i can certainly say that i would like to see more cooperation between modders with perhaps slightly different views on how a mod should change the game. it seems all too common to see people take a mod in the direction they want, exclusive of all other opinions. i have read some seriously napoleonic statements on this board by people in response to requests for including something in a mod that maybe the mod creator had not envisioned.

it's simple folks: you can't include everything in every mod for sure, but the more creative voices that go into something the more popular it is likely to be.

also, it's a great title, but there are probably better ones out there. for example, because of this argument i'm changing the title of my mod to something completely unrelated: Master Exploder Mod. That is because it's so awesome you have to listen to the song Master Exploder when you first play it. I'm also thinking about maybe calling it More Human Than Human Mod, or possibly Supernova Goes Pop Mod.

[Nalleman]

Hi

My first message in these forums. Your mod sounds just great. Im gonna finish my first game within few days and then try your mod.

What comes to this name brawl, I think it would be best just to end it and not to dwelwe in it. Two mods with the same name, big whooping deal

I cant wait to get my hands on this mod.

[Tunch Khan]

My final words on the subject are this: Tunch Khan has no legitimate claim to the name of my mod whatsoever. His mod was called Medieval EU3 Mod beforehand. That was the name of his thread (he posted a link to it on the previous page). Exactly when and why he decided to adopt my name for his mod I am not sure, but it's quite recent, and certainly doesn't pre-date either the start of my original EU3 Medieval Universalis thread, or the older EU2 one.

The most obvious solution would be to let me carry on with my mod, with its original name, and for him to simply change a few lines of his in order to adopt a new name.

It's not a lot to ask, and would solve this little dispute once and for all, wouldn't it?

Dear mandead,
I have a mod and you have a big mouth, that's what it is. The mod is out here and it's beta is public. You don't even have a discussion thread, a project thread or anything else.

It's like you are talking of "communism" while I am the one to make a "revolution".

Originally Posted by mandead

Grow up, you are being unreasonable. I'm angry at you stealing my mod name, that's all. Imagine if the AGCEEP or Age of Imperialism or something set up a page here to let people know it was under construction - regardless of how many posts there had been, you wouldn't go and steal their name just because you liked it, would you? No, 'course not. Same applies here.:

You keep calling me names over and over and than openly insult me with words like bastard! and make angry faces, and yet it is me who is unreasonable and needs to grow up? Nice try.

Don't be snide about something which is time-consuming, yet I give up some of my free time to do in order to give people that little extra.

About the sarcastic comment, please find your own contribution here for yourself and post it here. You keep lying over stupid things, just check this link here showing your lie and "time consuming contribution".

I repeatedly invited mandead to this project for his contribution, but get insulted in return. I would gladly accept any kind of help for this mod, and will even merge it with some other mods if there's compatiblity. But for this, of course dear mandead has to come up with a mod first.

So far we've heard a lot from him, but he fails to reveal his so-called mod or his progress, not only here but also at other mod threads like GBM where he's keeping his work "private" and secret. It is mine and other's opinion that mandead is not a team player. I think he wants all the glory and titles and honors for himself without ever doing anything.

I will repeat my open invitation to him and anyone else to join me in this work and we can even merge the mods for greater fun and talk about naming afterwards.

But if mandead keeps his stubborn insults, then it would be my honor to compete with him in two seperate mods and have the forum community enjoy the diversity.

But until that time, please enjoy "Medieval Universalis III".

[Gigalocus]

notice some possible bugs -



1st) what happened to the sea and rivers?
2nd) some countries have the great king: no ruler.

note: I understand its a beta, so, im not giving you a hard time,
also, these may be because i installed it onto a 'used' EUIII

anyway, best of luch with your mod!
