I haven't been around this community in several years since the end of development of Bello Civili so I can't comment on the status of community for M&B and N&S. I can comment on some of the development of N&S. I started modding N&S for my own personal use though eventually the mod grew to the point where I got in touch with Hinkel to try to bring back the mod (at this time Hink had stepped away for a while and was no longer working on it), eventually we collaborated and worked to bring back the mod and I personally helped in some of the iterations there after.

With that being said, I agree with what Hink and Nytech has said previously about the mod and permissions and such, I can personally attest to Hink trying his hardest to try to secure things for us, talking to the people who needed talking to and in a few cases when we didn't get permission for something, we'd remove it, simple as that. Could there been misunderstandings along the way? Of course, people work hard for what they create and want the proper recognition but as I stated above, Hinkel always tried his hardest to secure us the assets and if there was something we couldn't use, it would be removed.

And to say that we've only added a handful of things and spent very little time on it is preposterous. We would literally spend hours a day working on this mod, sometimes all I'd do is wake in the morning, work on the mod and then go to sleep at night. All of this was our choice and our time expecting little to no compensation other than the satisfaction of providing the community with something fun which we too had fun making.

I won't comment on WoR as I personally haven't worked on that project.

I'll just conclude with, N&S has been around a long time with a very long development history which has been enjoyed by hundreds of people over the years. I understand the passion behind something that you love to play. Enjoy the game, enjoy the mod, play other games, critique and praise when it is due but don't make assumptions about the people who worked hard and spent countless hours on making something for the community because at the end of the day, we didn't make N&S for ourselves, we made it for all of you.

Bello Civili - The Roman Civil War / Re: Please revive mod
« on: May 26, 2014, 06:46:42 pm »
The team was hard at work for several months and after the last patch, RL creped in and made the team go it's separate ways for a while. While some of us have the time again, the desire isn't really there anymore, plus I believe interest in the mod has passed. We had ideas about releasing two more factions, a Celtic faction full of barbarians and possibly Pontus but now those will just remain ideas.

Enjoy BC for what it is and the hard work that went to it.

Bello Civili - The Roman Civil War / Re: Developer Blog: New Update #3
« on: January 02, 2014, 02:09:12 pm »
Happy new year! We're pleased to announce the fourth faction for Bello Civili. The Barbarian faction.

While primarily Celtic in origin, we're looking into the possibility of creating "mini factions" within the Barbarian faction. This way we can include many other nationalities within the one faction (something akin to the mini-factions for the NW mod, Blood and Iron).

We're still in the planing stages on who or what will go into the new faction, as the year progresses, we'll have more information to share, so stay tuned!

Bello Civili - The Roman Civil War / Re: Bugs, feedback and suggestions.

I don't know if they are already included, but what about gladiators? I think it would be neat to see them running around like the ones from RTW :)

Historically accurate or not (I don't know) it'd be neat to run around with a trident and helmet 8)

We wanted to include them in the last patch but couldn't do to the fact that a lot of the OSP stuff floating around the net looked terrible in-game. It was rather old and showed it; it would have looked fine for 1999 but not in 2013.

They are of the Spanish American war and now completed, the 20th century faction is quite bare but i don't want to delay any longer and additional stuff can be added in the future i guess.

Naked men hoards!  ;)

I know it sort of can be done with NW with the KGL and the British I'm just wondering if it is possible to do more than a few times.

Also, for the Americans will you be using both sides N&S taunts?
Did any southerners feel motivated to fight after the civil war?

Ten years later, plus soldiering is soldiering. I expect only a handful of CSA veterans are now still serving mostly in the upper ranks. By 1870 a whole new generation who were just kids will be serving under those men.

I see no problem with it, aside from removing the Rebel Yell and any taunts that mention Yankees.
There were also some old Confederate generals who lead the US during the Spanish American war like Joseph Wheeler for example

There was one Union soldier who fought in....

The honor of oldest Army officer to serve belongs to Hains, who was in uniform at the age of 76. He was a classmate of George Armstrong Custer at West Point and ordered the first shot fired by the Union artillery at the Battle of Bull Run. He retired in 1904, was recalled to duty twelve years later for service during WWI, the only Civil War Officer to see duty in WWI.
