[Mod] Project: Augustus - A Roman Realism Mod

[ByzantineLover]

Just want to say thank you for this post, it may not seem like much but it made me a bit happy to see someone understanding.

No problem.

I'm shocked to hear what happened with omega. If those [swear redacted] are going to accuse you and him of such things without proper proof, I'm not surprised at wanting to leave. I'll admit, my own enthusiasm for CK2 has been waning, especially since I'm getting more into post-Medieval history now. But I'll stick around for a while.

Sorry to see such a dedicated modder get pushed away by a few toxic assholes

Read my post please, he is still going to work on the mod, but we may have to transfer to another site or just ignore rest of this sub forum

Yea, tbh my interests have been moving into the late antiquity and the 1800s period. (Where's Victoria 3 pdox )

Hence why this mod has had a tendancy of trying to push back into the late antiquity period

Ok, this mod is on hiatus for a while, if someone wants to take over it for a while let me know, or if you want details on what needs fixed or updated I'll gladly organize it etc or if you just want more info on my plans send me a pm

I'm sorry to see a mod stop being developed.

Ugh, really sad news to see Omega go but at least I can still have hope for the mod. At least with this mod nobody has to be afraid of getting insulted when trying to resurrect it

Sad to see a mod die because someone feels uncomfortable with using the sub-forum, or something like that? The reason isn't really stated. Sounds like people from other projects accused this one of taking from theirs without permission? I know that for the most part everyone is cool will a high level of sharing, if you ask. If they had no reason, just prove it. CKII should be fun though. If you are having anxiety issues, leaving the mod scene is a good idea. Just do it for yourself. You don't even need to reply to anything on the forum. You can just update. Don't blame the entire community though, or make it seem like you were chased out by the aristocrats of Paradox Plaza. Considering how Paradox treats the mod scene, I'm not surprised that another modder would be vigilant in protecting their work. Even large mods can't accept donations like it is in other games from other publishers. Just don't leave your mod on a down note. Deal with the others, or ignore them, and leave on an upbeat.

The mod is on hiatus.

I'm so confused on this post, first of all by starwarsfan name it does not say he's banned. Second of all, saying not welcome in this thread is under some forum rules seen as harassment and you shouldn't do it. Besides, it's not like anyone has been entirely clear in this thread on anything to do with omega's experience, it sounds about right from what I've seen of his general posting in the CK2 section and how others normally reacted though.

Finally, he's somewhat right, PA is a great overhaul mod. However the leaders have continually kept expanding their goals, which any long time modder (and game dev) will tell you is exactly the way to lose fans and eventually leave the mod unfinished.

I love the new features tho

I'll probably continue the mod by myself slowly. If some people on the forum think I'm X, Y, or Z, I'll just ignore them. I probably overreacted yesterday. To clear the slate, I'm going to rebrand the mod as Augusta Universalis for the next release. It's no longer a small mod that edits a few files, it will slowly overhaul aspects of the game. It will also prevent further confusion with Stellaris. Just calm down guys.

Lol good to have you back, we missed you <3

also this is the internet and you basically just pulled an Axl Rose on this thread xD. Is there any reasonable expectation of it NOT becoming a shitstorm?

 

[christopher0936]

Also how exactly is Augustus Universalis any less Romanocentric than Project Augustus. Also people will think it's an EU4 mod.

May I suggest: "Roman Imperial Legions" it's still Romanocentric but sounds badass

It's going to remain Roman-focused. People can't really say it's an EUIV mod if it's in this forum.

but people are idiots. And it'll be mentioned on /r/ParadoxPlaza. People hear about the mod outside this forum.

I like the new features too, but I would also prefer a stop in additional feature creep and a stable release instead sometime.

Please note I'm not trying to insult either omega or starwarsfan, just stating my opinion on what might help get a release out the door.

I have no idea what happened here, but whatever it was, the calling out of a member of the community was wrong. I overreacted to criticism two days ago, but I have calmed down since, and will continue the mod on my own time. I'm going to ask the mods to wipe the thread apart from the OP so that we can continue from a clean-state. I have no idea what happened with starwarsfan, but I have been told he was banned. Whatever the case, I don't have any beef with anybody, and I'll continue to work at my own pace. Considering this is more or less now a one-man project, I will be refocusing the mod on overhauling the vanilla bookmarks. Only when the game is at a state I feel is good enough will I start rolling back the timeline. Depending on my schedule, which is currently packed with exams, that may take up to a year.
