=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various development teams.

}}
Rise of Three Kingdoms is based on the [[Rome: Total War]] mod "Three Kingdoms - The Fight for Supremacy" - this is a complete port to [[Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms]] with enhanced scripting.
== History ==

The previous and original version of this conversion and idea, "Three Kingdoms - The Fight for Supremacy" was a modification for Rome: Total War, but the developers modified the Rome.exe and included the complete game in their uploads. These made the modification illegal, thus TWC never allowed them to advertise the upload links or have an own forum.
Later, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] started a new project; he decided to port the old conversion to a better engine, namely the [[Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms]] engine. Currently, only a map teaser is available for public download, as the mod is in early stages of development.

== Description ==

Rise of the Three Kingdoms is a complete porting of an RTW mod "Three Kingdoms - The Fight for Supremacy" to the Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms engine. The mod changes the original game to the Far East, and focuses on the Chinese culture.

== Features ==

A campaign, which is set in the era of Three Kingdoms in China, from 194 AD to 230 AD, with every faction, clan or tribe of that time included. Currently, it is using a '12 turns per year' scripted system.

So far this mod contains 18 factions. The settlements and special units - Assassins, diplomats - have been remade so that they look more Chinese. Every unit for the Battle Map will be remade as well.

The mod is also aiming to place settlements and regions historically right as much as possible. This era's wonders are also visible on the campaign map with their own 3D models, and provide factions that control the wonder with certain bonuses.

Later, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] started a new project; he decided to port the old conversion to a better engine, namely the [[Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms]] engine. Currently, only a map teaser is available for public download, as the mod is in early stages of development.

== Description ==

Rise of the Three Kingdoms is a complete porting of an RTW mod "Three Kingdoms - The Fight for Supremacy" to the Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms engine. The mod changes the original game to the Far East, and focuses on the Chinese culture.

== Features ==

A campaign, which is set in the era of Three Kingdoms in China, from 194 AD to 230 AD, with every faction, clan or tribe of that time included. Currently, it is using a '12 turns per year' scripted system.

So far this mod contains 18 factions. The settlements and special units - Assassins, diplomats - have been remade so that they look more Chinese. Every unit for the Battle Map will be remade as well.

The mod is also aiming to place settlements and regions historically right as much as possible. This era's wonders are also visible on the campaign map with their own 3D models, and provide factions that control the wonder with certain bonuses.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various development teams.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

Gigantus: /* Modding Tutorials */

{{member|name='''Gigantus'''
|avatarimagelocation=Gig's Avatar.gif
|mainrank='''Administrator'''
|ranks=[[Administrator]], [[Artifex]], [[Citizen]]
|patron=[[Nicholas Rush]]

}}
=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

Gigantus: /* Rise to Fame */

{{member|name='''Gigantus'''

|mainrank='''Administrator'''
|ranks=[[Administrator]], [[Artifex]], [[Citizen]]
|patron=[[Nicholas Rush]]

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal (On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is an [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

Gigantus: /* Present Endeavors */

|mainrank='''Administrator'''
|ranks=[[Administrator]], [[Artifex]], [[Citizen]]
|patron=[[Nicholas Rush]]

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called upon as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called the king of Mod Workshop, helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "So what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is Gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is a [[Administrator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World" series he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason.

If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called as the king of Mod Workshop helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is a [[Moderator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World," he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called as the king of Mod Workshop helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is a [[Moderator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World," he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called as the king of Mod Workshop helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is a [[Moderator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World," he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since.

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called as the king of Mod Workshop helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is a [[Moderator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World," he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

=History=
=== The Birth ===
Mighty [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=14940 Gigantus] Joined TWC on August 29, 2006. No one knows what dragged Gigantus here but when he joined Mother TWC knew that she has found her lost child that will now guide his TWC brothers out of the modding darkness & make her proud.

=== The Struggle ===
Gig's involvement with computers is at least as old as that great movie and hasn't diminished since. From his first Amiga 64 over that chunky 8086 he has been fascinated by the capabilities of those calculators. And then he met RTW!. The child in him was enthralled with this strategy game. The more you get, the more you want - After enthusiastically beating back the unwashed heathen on his favorite bridge near Masilia he decided that he wanted more. And RTR gave it to him, the game experience and that nagging desire to see what makes this thing tick.
:Not that he actually managed to get something working on his own, but he found about 172 ways how not to mod. While he was still lost in that first modding jungle along came M2TW. And there was light in his modding darkness! his first steps dabbling with the map were met with varying success, but the fora helped. Soon he joined up with the mod leader of PRO DEO ET REGE and helped him make his map. Then he continued and worked on various mods like Last Kingdom (Oranmentum), Rise of Empires, Ferrum Aeternum etc.

In between these mods he started releasing of "Creating a world" a series of tutorials for modding noobs this was the turning point of his modding career.

=== Rise to Fame ===
There is no actual event that can be called as a reason for his fame as there are many. One could conclude that due to his caring, dedication, and effort to make the TW community a better place, at his own expense, one small step at a time is the primary reason. He can be called as the king of Mod Workshop helping new modders and old modders alike to solve their problems, always concluding with his trademark gesture "One is glad to be of service http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/buba8qe.gif". If you're wondering... "so what? The workshop doesn't create mods for me to play, those posts aren't showing shiny models and textures for my drooling pleasure. What gives?"

:What gives is that all modders get their start and get their help from the culture that is encouraged by the workshop. Without the tutorials to reference and the community to appeal to when you run up against a nasty CTD, many modders would be stuck, frustrated with their problem and without a body to turn to. And the central pillar of this culture in the M2 Workshop is gigantus. Those posts aren't work being put into a mod that is going to get him recognition or acclaim. They're entirely selfless acts to help facilitate the work of other modders, so that they may succeed in their projects and produce the works which we can then enjoy.

He reached the cloud no. 9 when he received an [[Opifex]] medal(On Dec 24, 2009) as a token of appreciation for all the work he has done for the community in a plethora of ways, some tangible, and many intangible.

= Present Endeavors =
Gigantus is a [[Moderator]] and faithfully executes the responsibilities thereof. Following his "Creating a World," he continues to aid new modders through the forums. He is also known to help new modders via private messages although this is not recommended unless for very specific inquires.

= Modding Contributions =
So you really wanna know? Of course you do. He has served the modding community by many means whether by the means of modding tutorials or working for various dev teams.

Rome: Total War Mods

Gigantus: /* Released Minor Mods for Medieval II: Total War and Kingdoms */

[[File:TWsaga.jpg|center]]
{{Template:Mod Listing}}
__TOC__

This page is intended to be a comprehensive listing of all released Modifications for games in the [[Total War]] Series where information can be accessed in a clear and organized format. Please note that mod variants and sub-mods are generally not included here but should be available via the mod's forum if it is hosted.

In order for this page to achieve that standard of excellence, help is needed from all mod creators and fans to constantly keep this article up to date as mods are released and become hosted. If a mod is not listed here then please either add it yourself, or contact a member of the Wiki Team.

== Format Information ==

=== Modification Name ===

The name of the modification given to it by it's developers

=== Platform ===

Mods are normally made for a specific platform such as "BI 1.6"(where BI is the abbreviated game/expansion name, and 1.6 is the version of the official patch) but may also be compatible with other platforms. Please check the relevant forum/thread to see if a mod works on multiple platforms or has another version available for a different platform. Those known to have more than one official platform are indicated by the (*) after the name in the tables below; those listed with another specific platform in place of the asterisk indicate that the same official build can run off of more than one .exe.

=== Type ===

*'''Historic''' - Mod based on a period of Earth history
*'''Fantasy''' - Mod based on either a known work of fiction (book or movie) or upon self-created world
*'''Mythic''' - Mod based on myth, folklore or possibly legend
*'''Religious''' - Mod based on a scriptural reference or period which may have no identifiable historical period/setting
*'''Unit Pack''' - Mod contains new skins and possibly models to add new units to the game, but does not contain a campaign, scripts etc.
*'''Other''' - Mod does not fit in any specific category, could be unique, script packs, skin packs, etc.

=== Mod-Folder ===

For the definition of a Mod Folder, please see [[Mod folder|this]] page. Please note that in the lists below only the main versions of the mods are detailed, rather than any enhanced or modifed versions. To see whether these versions are mod foldered you must go to the relevant forum/thread.

[[Image:Modfolder_no.png|a red folder]] = mod not modfoldered (overwrites a large number of the original game files)
 [[Image:Modfolder_yeahbut.png|a green folder with red tab]] = mod is partially modfoldered (some original game overwritten; see folder mouseover text for details in tables below)
 [[Image:Modfolder_yes.png|a green folder]] = mod is fully modfoldered - it will not touch original game file (though vanilla may not be playable when it is installed in case of mods for [[Empire: Total War]] onwards

=== Mod-Folder Name ===

Name of the folder that contains all of the files for the mod, if it is contained in whole or in part in a mod-folder. This is provided so that in the unlikely event two mods use the same folder name, prospective players are aware of the fact they'll need to change some things to run both from the same installation.

=== Campaign Map ===

A short description of the geographical area the campaign map covers. For larger maps, this is the continent on which the mod focuses the most, unless a different short description is offered by the mod team.

=== Era ===

The era in which the mod takes place. This is a general term such as Antiquity, Medieval, Gunpowder, Modern, etc. used to describe the time in which the mod takes place. Where terms such as "Roman Republic to Empire" are used, this does not always necessarily mean the mod is Rome-centric, just that it is during the parallel time-frame.

=== Download ===

This is a link to the relevant section of the mod's forum/thread, where a download link has been provided. This link is provided to the newest known released version, but it may be out of date. For patches to all versions and the definitive latest version, as well as technical support and installation instructions, it is recommended you visit the official forums or thread for the Mod, or in the absence of such contact the developers in whatever way they have specified.

== Major Modifications ==

'''Note:''' "Major" released modifications are either hosted on TWC, or change a large number of aspects in the game (usually both).

=== Released Major Mods for [[Total War: Shogun II]] ===

Rome: Total War Mods

2012-10-09T01:53:14Z

Gigantus: /* Released Minor Mods for Medieval II: Total War and Kingdoms */

[[File:TWsaga.jpg|center]]
{{Template:Mod Listing}}
__TOC__

This page is intended to be a comprehensive listing of all released Modifications for games in the [[Total War]] Series where information can be accessed in a clear and organized format. Please note that mod variants and sub-mods are generally not included here but should be available via the mod's forum if it is hosted.

In order for this page to achieve that standard of excellence, help is needed from all mod creators and fans to constantly keep this article up to date as mods are released and become hosted. If a mod is not listed here then please either add it yourself, or contact a member of the Wiki Team.

== Format Information ==

=== Modification Name ===

The name of the modification given to it by it's developers

=== Platform ===

Mods are normally made for a specific platform such as "BI 1.6"(where BI is the abbreviated game/expansion name, and 1.6 is the version of the official patch) but may also be compatible with other platforms. Please check the relevant forum/thread to see if a mod works on multiple platforms or has another version available for a different platform. Those known to have more than one official platform are indicated by the (*) after the name in the tables below; those listed with another specific platform in place of the asterisk indicate that the same official build can run off of more than one .exe.

=== Type ===

*'''Historic''' - Mod based on a period of Earth history
*'''Fantasy''' - Mod based on either a known work of fiction (book or movie) or upon self-created world
*'''Mythic''' - Mod based on myth, folklore or possibly legend
*'''Religious''' - Mod based on a scriptural reference or period which may have no identifiable historical period/setting
*'''Unit Pack''' - Mod contains new skins and possibly models to add new units to the game, but does not contain a campaign, scripts etc.
*'''Other''' - Mod does not fit in any specific category, could be unique, script packs, skin packs, etc.

=== Mod-Folder ===

For the definition of a Mod Folder, please see [[Mod folder|this]] page. Please note that in the lists below only the main versions of the mods are detailed, rather than any enhanced or modifed versions. To see whether these versions are mod foldered you must go to the relevant forum/thread.

[[Image:Modfolder_no.png|a red folder]] = mod not modfoldered (overwrites a large number of the original game files)
 [[Image:Modfolder_yeahbut.png|a green folder with red tab]] = mod is partially modfoldered (some original game overwritten; see folder mouseover text for details in tables below)
 [[Image:Modfolder_yes.png|a green folder]] = mod is fully modfoldered - it will not touch original game file (though vanilla may not be playable when it is installed in case of mods for [[Empire: Total War]] onwards

=== Mod-Folder Name ===

Name of the folder that contains all of the files for the mod, if it is contained in whole or in part in a mod-folder. This is provided so that in the unlikely event two mods use the same folder name, prospective players are aware of the fact they'll need to change some things to run both from the same installation.

=== Campaign Map ===

A short description of the geographical area the campaign map covers. For larger maps, this is the continent on which the mod focuses the most, unless a different short description is offered by the mod team.

=== Era ===

The era in which the mod takes place. This is a general term such as Antiquity, Medieval, Gunpowder, Modern, etc. used to describe the time in which the mod takes place. Where terms such as "Roman Republic to Empire" are used, this does not always necessarily mean the mod is Rome-centric, just that it is during the parallel time-frame.

=== Download ===

This is a link to the relevant section of the mod's forum/thread, where a download link has been provided. This link is provided to the newest known released version, but it may be out of date. For patches to all versions and the definitive latest version, as well as technical support and installation instructions, it is recommended you visit the official forums or thread for the Mod, or in the absence of such contact the developers in whatever way they have specified.

== Major Modifications ==

'''Note:''' "Major" released modifications are either hosted on TWC, or change a large number of aspects in the game (usually both).

=== Released Major Mods for [[Total War: Shogun II]] ===

Hardcoded Limits - RTW

2012-09-14T05:21:45Z

Gigantus: /* Map */

[[Creative Assembly]] have built in some limits to the games, meaning that modders can not have more than x amount of factions or y amount of units. Limits for [[Medieval II: Total War]] appear to be similar to [[Rome: Total War]] though some are slightly raised.

== Hardcoded Limits for RTW==

This list is also duplicated here:

NOTE: If hard coded limits are found to be different for [[Medieval II: Total War]] please add them to the list below:

===[[descr_model_battle.txt]]===
*Overall model number: Min ?, max 255.

===[[descr_rebel_factions.txt]]===
*Units per event: Min 1?, max 20 for non-regional events at least. Extras cause error message with -show_err but possibly no other ill effects.

===[[descr_sm_factions.txt]]===
*Faction limit: 
: Min 2, max 21. Note that the maximum must include, for unexpanded RTW, one rebel faction, four Roman factions (including a Senate and the Roman alliance), six barbarian factions, four Greek factions, three Eastern factions, two Carthaginian factions, and an Egyptian faction, as far as faction-culture correspondence goes. In BI the culture restrictions and Roman alliance/Senate limitations are lifted, but there still must presumably be a rebel faction. Fewer factions than 21 are possible, but two must be listed in descr_strat.txt or game will KTM with error message. Fewer then 5 will also cause a crash if the player attempts to view "top five factions" for anything on the statistics screen as well. 

===[[export_descr_ancillaries.txt]]===
*ExcludedAncillaries: Min 0, max 3. Default usage Extras cause CTD.
*Effects: Min 0, max 8. Assumption, experimentation. Extras make it impossible to gain ancillary through a trigger and cause erratic effects if an existing ancillary is transferred.

===[[export_descr_buildings.txt]]===
*Hidden resources: Min 1?, 63 or 64 tbc. Extras cause a CTD, not including rome causes a CTD (for some TW games), not including italy as a hidden resource prevents [[Marian reforms]] (so will removing it from [[descr_regions.txt]] which is necessary anyway if removing from EDB).
:See [http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=52650 here] for a way to overcome the limitation on number of resources.
*Overall building tree number: Min ?, max 64. Experimentation. Extras CTD (error: "Settlement in [X] region has not been given [X] a core building. Any settlements above village level must have an appropriate core building! This settlement is level 1, and should have a level 0 core building.").
*Levels per building tree: Min 1, max 9. Assumption, experimentation. Extras CTD.
*Upgrades per building level: Min 0, max 8. Default usage, logic based on previous. Levels can only be upgraded to levels listed after them on the "levels" line.
*Units recruitable in a given city, not counting agents: Min 0, max 32. Default usage, experimentation. Extras CTD.

===[[export_descr_character_traits.txt]]===
*Levels per trait: Min 1, max 9.
*Points required for a threshold: Min 1, max ≥ 600.
*Points assignable per trigger: Min 0, max ≥ 100.

*Attack factor: Min 1 (missile), max 63. Experimentation, user interface. Zero results in no missile attack. Extra considered 63.
*Charge bonus: Min 0, max 63. Default usage, user interface. Extra considered 63.
*Missile range: Min 20 (at least for javelins), max special. Experimentation, experimentation. Every projectile has an effective maximum range as well, indirectly determined by the velocity and angle ranges specified in descr_projectile_new.txt; increasing this file's range sufficiently will require you to increase the velocity and/or angle range in that file for the change to work properly. Later versions of RTW give an error message if the velocity doesn't allow the stated range. More range than is possible will be effectively reduced to the maximum possible for the velocity.
*Missile ammo: Min 2 (but 0 is okay as well), max ?. Experimentation (and guess). Note that ammunition is determined per man, not per unit, and it apparently counts even men who don't actually use the ammo, such as drivers of chariots (experimentation). Ammunition use is tracked per unit (I'm pretty sure), not per man, so if only half of your unit is firing at their target, they'll effectively have twice the ammo.
*Undocumented kill rate variable: ?
*Number of weapon attributes: Min 0, max none? Experimentation, guess.
*Armor factor: Min 0, max 63. Default usage, user interface. Extra considered 63.

Note that ammunition is determined per man, not per unit, and it apparently counts even men who don't actually use the ammo, such as drivers of chariots (experimentation). Ammunition use is tracked per unit (I'm pretty sure), not per man, so if only half of your unit is firing at their target, they'll effectively have twice the ammo.
*Undocumented kill rate variable: ?
*Number of weapon attributes: Min 0, max none? Experimentation, guess.
*Armor factor: Min 0, max 63. Default usage, user interface. Extra considered 63.
*Defensive skill factor: Min 0, max 63. Default usage, user interface. Extra considered 63.
*Shield factor: Min 0, max 31. Default usage, user interface. Extra considered 31.
*Stat_heat: ?
*Terrain modifiers: ?
*Base morale: Min 0, max ?. Default usage.
*Charge distance: ?
*Fire delay: ?
*Turns to build: Min 0, max 244. Extra ignored.

===[[descr_regions.txt]]===
*Resources per province: Min 0?, max 9? Extras ignored?

===[[map_regions.tga]]===
*Number of provinces: Min ?, max 200. (max number includes sea region colours)
*Number of landmasses: Min ?, max 20. JeromeGrasdyke. Effects for extras unknown (not CTD).

TWC:FAQ

2010-07-01T02:08:02Z

Gigantus: /* Some Frequently Asked Questions */

{{DEFAULTSORT: {{PAGENAME}}}}

This guide is intended to provide pretty much all the basic information you need to understand this forum, and answer all the questions that get repeatedly posted.

==Guide to vBulletin==
Here you can find an FAQ for vBulletin, who provide our forum software. Questions on how to use the forum itself, can be found [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/faq.php here]

==TWC's BB Code==
Ever wondered how to make your text go bold or italic or all the many many other things you can do with text? 
[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode Here's the complete list of all the BB tags we use here].

==TWC Terms of Service and Forum Rules==
Every member when they sign up is expected to keep to these rules. They're enforced by the moderators, and failure to comply will result in warnings suspensions, and ultimately, a permanent ban. We recommend you read and familiarise yourself with them! [[TWC:Terms of Service|Terms of Service]]

==The Administrative Forums==
These forums are located at the bottom of the main page and provide a place for members to come and sort out and any problems or issues.

===Infraction Appeals and Discussion===

====The Praetorium====
If you think you have been unfairly moderated; i.e. received a caution, warning, or suspension you don't think is justified, you can post a thread in this forum and talk privately to the [[Administrator]]s about the issue. Sometimes though, you may wish to try discussing the issue with the individual moderator involved by private message before trying this route, you can still post a thread in the Praetorium later if the matter cannot be resolved via private message. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1309 The Praetorium forum.]

====The Tribunal====
If you've received a caution, warning, or suspension you don't think is justified, and have already talked to an Administrator and / or used the Praetorium, and are not satisfied with the result, or if you wish to make your first appeal public instead of talking to the moderators in private, this is the forum in which to place your appeal. You may air your grievance and three appointed Judges (independent of the moderating staff) will review your case. Suspended members have the ability to post in this forum and this forum alone. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=146 The Tribunal forum.]

===Questions and Suggestions===
If you have a question that has not been answered by this handy little guide, or you have any suggestion or comment you'd like to make that you think might make TWC that little bit better, then here is the place to post. All thoughts and comments welcome! All technical questions should also be directed here, unless it is a suggestion which can be debated on with solid information. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9 Questions and Suggestions forum.]

===Technical Bazaar===
The Technical Bazaar, whilst not really the place for questions, is another place to go to seek answers about things that are going wrong with the forums. You should also frequently visit here as there may be important information in regards to the maintainability of the site, and information on disruptions to the service. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=321 The Technical Bazaar]

==Signatures, Avatars, and Profile Pictures==
Signatures are bound to a 550×175 pixel box automatically, with anything outside of that being cut off. The maximum file size of all signature images may not exceed 250 KB according to the current [[TWC Official:Terms of Service|TOS]].

Custom avatars and user pictures must be uploaded to TWC from [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/usercp.php your User Control Panel]. You will be told the maximum size of each when you try to upload them. At the time of this writing, the maximum sizes are 100×100 pixels or 80 KB (whichever is smaller) for avatars, and 640×480 pixels or 250 KB (whichever is smaller) for profile pictures.

==Some Frequently Asked Questions==
Here are the answers to some miscellaneous questions we've been regularly asked not covered elsewhere in this guide.

;How do I make polls?
:You can only make a poll if you are starting a new topic. What you need to click to add a poll to your post is the 'Yes, post a poll...' box near the bottom of the screen. If you need to add a poll later then you need to PM an Administrator.

;What's the "Report" button?
:This red button at the bottom right of each post will generate an automatic email to all the moderators of that forum telling that that post has been reported. You can use it to tell the moderators every time you see a post that breaks the Terms of Service. While it is not our aim to create a generation of informants, experience has proven time and again that reporting a post that you consider offensive or disruptive is far better then attempting to deal with it "on your own", by either attacking the poster or threatening with some form of action in the thread. Furthermore, a report is the fastest way to alert the moderators about serious breaches of ToS as posting of porn and also to get yourself rid of ad-bots. Reporting posts is encouraged!

;I've just taken a glance at the Political Mudpit and the Ethos, Mores, et Monastica sections of the Common Community, and I want to post there! But I do not want to get completely butchered by the experienced members who already post in those sections. How can I, a complete newb, post in those sections without getting hacked into little pieces?
:I can offer four pieces of advice for this: read, edit, give sources, and stay calm.
:# Read - What you first need to do is read the entire thread. This is important as it can give you sources for information (which are very important for a debate) and tells you what has already been argued about. Unless you are bringing new information regarding a past issue or point, it is redundant to dredge up an old settled argument, especially if it has been some time since it was last talked about in the thread.
:# Edit - After you have written your response, always send it through a spellchecker after reading it over again yourself. It is imperative to ensure that there are as few as possible spelling and grammatical errors in your post.
:# Give Sources - A credible source can go a long way in helping you win a debate. Facts without sources will be often disregarded as mere opinion.
:# Stay Calm - Far too often, members become frustrated and angry on various threads. This happens to all at times, and the best cure is to step away from the debate. What you do after that is up to you, but do not go back to the debate until you have calmed down. If a debate looks like it is getting too heated, a moderator will often close down a thread temporarily to clean up heated posts, as well as giving both parties a chance to calm down.

;How would I defend myself against flamers and trolls?
:Hopefully you won't have to! But if someone does flame you or troll you, report their post using the Report button. DON'T respond in kind. If you flame someone who flames you, that just starts a flame war and you'll find yourself in as much trouble as the original flamer.

;What if I want to express my opinion about certain members and I want to contact them individually?
:Try emailing them if they enabled their email address, or use the "private messaging" - PM. Be careful though, members do (and should) report harassing or annoying PMs to moderators. Just because it is a private message, it does not give you leeway to flame or troll others.

;Can I vote in polls?
:To vote in polls you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. This was introduced to prevent people creating duplicate accounts and spamming our site awards with them.

;Why can't I post any visitor messages?
:To post visitor messages, you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. This was introduced to prevent people creating duplicate accounts and spamming our site with them.

;How do I change my name?
:Post in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=367569 Name change requests] thread in the Questions & Suggestions forum.

==The Constitution and the Curia==
If you've got this far, you've probably realised TWC isn't like any other major forum you've been a part of. The Constitution is a big reason why. About 4 years ago when TWC was small and cosy, the 3 administrators of the time felt that it would be good to reward their core body of active members. The reward they gave this core group was the ability to have a say on how the site is run. The Constitution is the document that sets out how it all works.

Citizenship is awarded to members who make noteworthy contributions to the forum. These can include, but are not limited to:

* Creating After Action Reports (AARs) on battles fought in the various Total War games.
* Creating a mod, or working as part of a mod team for the Total War games.
* Serving as a member of the TWC staff (Content Writer, Librarian, Graphic Artist (Badger/Rep Icon Maker) etc.)
* Showing your dedication to the site by making consistent intelligent posts around the forum.

Additionally, there are two types of Citizen. A Civitate is a Citizen whose primary contribution has been in debates and discussions. An Artifex is a Citizen whose primary contribution has been modding work. All the moderators on the site are drawn from the citizen class as well. To find out how to become a citizen, read on below!

The Curia has a number of institutions which help to oversee the citizen class, or run the site. One of them, the Tribunal, has already been mentioned above. The three Tribunal judges are all elected by the Curia.

===The Consilium de Civitate===
This is a body of 12 elected Citizens who govern promotions and demotions. They vote on whether a member should be promoted from Peregrinus to Citizen, as well as performing other responsibilities listed in the Constitution. If a Citizen has broken the rules, they may also vote to suspend or strip him of his rank. The CdeC maintain a thread in the Curia giving updates on who the current members are and what they've been doing. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=126071 You can view their current thread here.]

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=57330 Past CdeC reports thread.]

And [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showgroups.php#CdeC here are current CdeC members.]

An in-depth guide to the Curia may be found [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=184168 here.]

===The Curial Officers===
;The Curator
:The Curator deals with the day to day running of the Curia. He moves debates to vote, orders the archives, maintains order in the Curia, and also makes rulings on the interpretation of the constitution where necessary. The Curator also holds power of Veto over any Curial decision. The Curator can make grammatical and spelling changes to the constitution without consultation with the Citizenry. He holds his term for 3 months.
:The current Curator is [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=7083 Empress Meg] and her assistant is [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=33825 Pøntifex]

===The Curial Committees===
A Curial Committee can be convened by the Council to discuss or investigate a particular issue. In addition to this Citizens can also propose a 'project' to be undertaken by the site, and then members of the forum may join the committee in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=335 Forum Magnum].They are designed to bring members of the staff or the members and the Curia together to work on a particular project. The only active 'committee' is the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1447 Napoleon TW Survey].

==How to become a Citizen==
So, after reading all that, has it caught your interest? Do you want to get involved in running this site? Do you want to have your say on how we do things here? Then here's how.

To become a citizen of TWC you first have to meet the qualifications. These are set pretty low and it's not a case of everyone who meets these gets the rank automatically. To qualify for Citizen, a member must have at least fifty posts, been a registered member for one month, and have no warnings within the last six months. Non-point infractions or 'notes' are not factored into this.

Above and beyond these basic standards, the rank is then awarded for contributions. So if you think you make a valuable contribution to the site, chances are you're citizen material.

To get promoted you have to be patronised by an existing citizen. There are two ways this can happen. The most common is for a citizen to notice your contributions and send you a PM asking if you'd like the rank. If however, you think you are worthy, you don't have to wait to be noticed! You can PM a citizen directly and ask if they will sponsor you. Only those citizens who have themselves held their rank for 3 months can patronise.

If you get asked, or a citizen agrees to patronise you, you then have to write a short paragraph explaining why you want to be a citizen and why you think you are worthy. Keep in mind that the better you present your case to the CdeC, the more likely you will be considered citizen material. Include links to your most worthy contributions, be they modifications tools or work, or well-composed debates. PM the paragraph to your patron; they'll add their own comments and PM both to a member of the Consilium de Civitate. The CdeC will then take a week to discuss and vote on you. If you get 60% of the non abstaining votes, you'll receive a PM from the Curator congratulating you, and have your rank, a shiny new badge, and all the privileges of being recognised as one of TWC's outstanding members!

If, for whatever reason, you should fail the vote you must wait 1 month before you can apply again

More info can be found on the TWC forums, with a quick and simple [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=196022 walkthrough].

==Meet the Staff==
Got a desire to know who the mighty and powerful are who work overtly and covertly to make TWC a better place? Then you found your answers right here!

Additionally, a list of all those people with moderator status can be found on the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showgroups.php Forum Leaders] page

===Officer Ranks===
There are 3 ranks of staff officer
* Council Officer
* Senior Staff Officer
* Staff Officer

The Council Officers are the administrators who form the Council and run the show; the rest of the staff are divided into the 3 branches to serve the site. all staff may be recognized by their badges and oftentimes colour-coded usernames. All Officers display their officer rank in preference to their member rank, so there's no disguising them!

===The Hexagonal Council===
This is the governing body that runs the site. Its made up of four permanent members and a variable number of non-permanent members who contribute their specific talents to making TWC the best it can be.

Hex Officers names appear Bold and Bright Red on the forum display and have the following badge

===The Content Branch===
Articles, Competitions, Podcasts, yes indeed this is the content branch; responsible for all the community projects that go on here and always looking to expand. With so much to see and do the content branch is by far the biggest branch of TWC staff.

The permanent members of the various content projects have their names in blue and wear one of the badges shown below. Some publications have temporary members, or free lance reporters, who aren't considered part of the content staff.

;Chief of Content

;Senior Content Officer
:Each Senior Content Officer, usually an Director but not always, has a specific publication or project that they manage. Editors have direct control over their publication's staff and are tasked with the smooth and effective running of their publications. They may also from time to time support the Content Manager in ongoing projects such as this very FAQ.

The most mysterious and smallest of the three branches of staff, the techies are the ones who by sheer skill and dint of hard effort amazingly keep this place together and just about functional.

The Technicians may have their names in blue like the content staff, and can wear the Tech Staff badge shown below. Each Technician has his own specialised access answering direct to the Chief Technician.

==Member Ranks==
While not everyone has a fancy officer's title, everyone on TWC has a rank. Officers, be they Staff or Curial, are the people who carry out various jobs, but each of them, along with everyone else will hold a rank as well. The higher your rank, the more privileges and access you have and the greater your opportunities for promotion to an officer position. There are two broad types of ranks, Honorary and Normal. The three Normal ranks carry all the benefits of a Citizen; the four Honorary ones are used as rewards for specific services rendered or for achievement.

===Normal Ranks===
The three Normal Ranks are as follows:

;Peregrinus
:This is the basic rank that everyone starts out on and many thousands of our members never achieve greater than this. Peregrinus grants posting rights in almost all of the forum and they have the opportunity to hold content and technical staff positions.

;Local Forum Moderator
:A Local Forum Moderator (or Local Moderator, Local Mod, or simply LM) is a normal member with Moderating powers inside a specific forum. They are usually devoted to this forum and its community. They are not counted as TWC staff.
:They may do all normal moderating procedures within that forum, though may not infract (that is ban or suspend) users. Should a certain member break the ToS within that forum they should be reported as done all rule breakers.
:A Local Mod is identified with a grey coloured name rather than the user black coloured name, and they may change their user-title. The Local Moderator title is inherited via Admin. Should you wish to become a Local Moderator of a certain forum you should get in contact with the chief forum moderator of that forum.

;Citizen
:[[File:Citizen radadir.png]]
:This special rank is given as a reward by the CdeC to those members who make a significant contribution to the Forum. It carries all the benefits of Peregrinus but additionally it grants members posting ability in Symposium and the Curia, as well as voting rights. Citizens are therefore given the opportunity to have a say in how their site is run. After 3 months in the rank, Citizens can also begin patronising new citizens. Only Citizens and above can become a member of the moderating staff. Additionally, most Curial Offices have the requirement of Citizen rank.
:'''Citizens''' can choose to further define as one of two types depending upon which part of the site they most associate with.
:The '''Civitates''' are those who earned their rank through hard intelligent posting and thoughtful debate 
:[[File:Civitate radadir.png]]
:An '''Artifex''' is someone who earned their rank through modding 
:[[File:Artifex radadir.png]]

The Awarding of Normal Ranks is the job of the CdeC who may, if they feel it necessary, strip members of them. Requirements for the ranks are governed by the Curia.

===Multiple Ranks===
It's possible for a member to hold multiple ranks or Officer Positions, and as such they will usually, but not always follow this precedent in choosing which rank to display. Administrators, Senior Content Staff and Moderators will normally always display that rank over all others for quick identification.

===Other Titles===

Ranks which are not awarded by the Curia.

;A god in Colchester

[[File:A God in Colchester Empire.png]]

The current and only holder of this title is [[imb39]].
The story of this and the reason why he has chosen this title is from the famous novel "I, Claudias" (I, CLAVDIVS). Claudius became emperor because he was regarded as so weak and ineffectual by competing factions and as other parts of his family killed themselves. imb39 sees that he reached the top because he was viewed as harmless. He referred to himself as Claudius at times - though he doesn't claim to have any of his abilities!

One of the lines in the book is "a god in Colchester" so, [[Garbarsardar]] and a few other Administators gave him this title. Though technically, it should not exist or be allowed as it has not been passed by the [[Curia]], though nobody has yet objected against him/it.

;For more information on Curial ranks and awards please see [[:TWC:Ranks|here]] or [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=184168 here].

==Post Count Ranks==
On the left hand side of each of your posts you'll note a number of things. First, your avatar, which you can set and change from your account control panel. Second, your Reputation, explained below. Third, your online status and add rep buttons. Fourth, your post count, and finally another rank.

Unlike your Peregrinus rank, this one is entirely meaningless and conveys nothing. It's merely associated with your Post Count. The more posts you have, the higher this rank. It's actually your custom user title, and only Citizens, Local Moderators or TWC Staff have the ability to override their title with one of their own design.

Here's the list of those ranks.

* Private 0
* Light Infantryman 1
* Rifleman 30
* Grenadier 50
* Drummer and Fifer 100
* Chosen Man 175
* Corporal 225
* Sergeant 275
* Colour Sergeant 300
* Drum Major 500
* Armoury Sergeant 550
* Quartermaster Sergeant 650
* Sergeant Major 900
* Regimental Sergeant Major 1000
* Ensign 1100
* Subaltern 1300
* Lieutenant 1450
* Captain 1550
* Brevet-Major 1650
* Major 1800
* Aide de Camp 1900
* Lieutenant Colonel 2000
* Colonel 3000
* Brigadier 3600
* Major General 4000
* Lieutenant General 6000
* Captain General 8000
* General 10000
* Field Marshal 15000

==Reputation==

The reputation feature is a fun little thing that enables you to see your community standing with the other members. In theory, the more reputation you have, the more highly thought of you are by the other members of the community. It has no other real meaning, and many members choose to disable it.

Reputation here will be described as if you were using the default Medieval skin. The symbols are different on the Rome skin, or the Barbie skin.

If you are using the Rome skin, the add rep button is an eagle standard, a Ring is a helmet, and a crown is a legionary standard. The principle is the same however

If, (for whatever unknown reason!) you are using the Barbie skin, the add rep button is the eagle standard again, a ring becomes a type of spangly star, or maybe a flower and a crown is a diamond ring.

Moving swiftly back to the default Medieval Skin then...

;How do I give rep?
:You can add reputation to a post by clicking this button, on the left 
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/buttons/reputation.gif 
:You can only add 1 point of rep to each post and you can only give 7 points total a day. Additionally, you have to rep different users before you can give rep to the same user again, in order to prevent rep abuse.

;Who can give rep?
:Because of issues with account cloning in the past, where people created accounts just to give themselves rep, only users registered for at least one week with over 25 posts may give rep that counts. Users with less than 25 posts or who have been registered for less than a week will give a 0 rep point instead of 1, so any comments they leave will show up in your account, but you won't actually get a point for it. Please note, when a user jumps over the 25-post mark, rep they have given prior to that does not count retroactively. Furthermore, it may take an hour or so after your 25th post for your rep to start working, even if you've been registered for over a week by that point.

;Where does reputation show?
:Your reputation shows up in two places. One, on the left hand side where you post, a collection of symbols shows a rough guide to how much rep you have. Two, in your control panel. There's a more comprehensive display of the last 20 rep points you received, showing which post you got it for, who gave it, and any comment they left.

;Can I disable reputation?
:Yes, you can disable your reputation in your control panel. If you do so, your own rep won't show up but you'll still be able to give other people rep as well as receive it yourself.

;What does it look like?
:Each symbol represents a certain number of rep points. It starts at five, so if you have less than 3 rep points, you'll show the scales symbol for neutral rep.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/reputation/reputation_balance.gif - Neutral Rep
:Some very few members who have received neg rep from the staff will have this replaced by a red square. Those users who have disabled the reputation feature will simply show a grey square.
:Once you hit 3 rep points, you'll get 1 gold ring
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/reputation/reputation_pos.gif
:Each ring = 3 points, so if someone has 5 rings, they have 15 Rep points. You can only get a maximum of 5 rings, after that the rings are transferred into a crown
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/reputation/reputation_pos2.gif
:Each silver crown is worth 15 rep points.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/reputation/reputation_highpos.gif
:Each gold crown is worth 150 rep points.
:*Scales: 0-2 Rep
:*1 Ring: 2-3 Rep
:*1 silver crown: 15 Rep
:*2 gold crowns: 150 Rep
:*and so on
