Default Re: Best Mod Vote idea.

Maybe it could be useful to group them into balanced/unbalanced and approximately complete/definitely incomplete. And maybe also some category indicating whether the author focussed on detailed graphics, since clearly some mods such as Sombre's are of roughly Kristoffer quality, whereas others the mod author just created things pretty much as placeholders so they could enjoy working on the unit stats and descriptions.

Hmm, just thinking aloud here. It certainly is a tricky one to keep objective, but I do think it might be nice to have a few "look at these first" mods that people new to Dom3 mods should look at.

Hmm, maybe we could have a little vote on this thread on mods which would be good as "introductory mods", which we'd advise people to look at first. That is less controversial perhaps - it's not saying other mods aren't worthwhile, just that they're perhaps a little more unusual. Could split the introductory ones into balanced and unbalanced, since I know many people find e.g. Amos' mods interesting, but to me the unbalanced nature of them is a complete turnoff.

So, my vote for introductory mods:

-- Balanced --
Ulm Reborn
Arga Dis
Skaven
Vaettiheim

-- Unbalanced --
(don't know)

Sombre, seems like you come out well in my voting!

Come to think of it, maybe I should add a couple of Zepath's to my list. So, also:

Teutanion
Sylvania

Although I'm not convinced they're so well balanced. But at least they were intended to be, and they're not crazy.

I do agree with you Sombre that there is a clear line for what's good and what's not, but if to make a list, we have to make sure not to forget anyone's mod, once somethings been submitted no matter how bad we have to subject them to the same rights as the good ones.

Oh I agree that those two mods you mentioned llamabeast, they are well ballanced.
