Who pays the modders for doing the wonderful job they do?
If people don't have the money to buy a half-assed 50 bucks game (sorry, but that's what matrix releases are in my book after getting CoI)... |

You do still have alll the bugs You can only play on 44 maps You can only play in daylight Reinforce and disband don't work correctly for you etc but hey, I like CC5 too. |

matrix are a business, probably much like the one you work for... maybe they should give away their work... or maybe you should???
Everyone involved in the production of the recent CC games gives freely of their time, both now and in the past. |

éxcept the mod makers haven't done to CC what has been achieved by S3T
Not one mod with more than 44 maps Not one mod that can be fought over more than 2 turns Not one mod that fixes the broken rules Not one mod that BG's can retreat on Not one mod that can include night battles Not one mod that etc etc So, you make a good argument but it is hollow. |

There is no doubt Matrixgames' only interest is in making a living for it's owners and staff... no one has argued otherwise.
modders endeavours are of course generous and selfless, apart from those seeking adoration and compliments from their peers.... nothing wrong with that though, what ever rocks your boat. With the above in mind the games have not advanced one iota since 2000 despite the very best efforts of the modders to bring new scenarios and Theatres of war to the table. It is only through commercial interest that any coding and technical advancement has been achieved let alone fixing the broken code that we've had to live with since 2000. And, on top of that, modding options have now been given a greater breadth and depth than ever before possible, all thanks to commercial interest and the dedicated work of a very few people. |
