TWC Wiki:Mod Table Instructions

Tips for Editing Table

Explanation of how the columns are used currently - this can evolve!
If possible use a description that is already in use (makes sorting more useful!)
Please discuss alterations to the column layout/classifications on this articles discussion page.

Modification Name

Generally the Mod Name as used on the forum, if the name is likely to be confused with a similar mod for a different game add the game initials e.g. (TWA) for Attila, after the name. If there is an existing wiki page for the mod please use that name and link to it. Please DO NOT put the version number of the release here.

Type

Examples;

Fantasy Mod - changes setting to a fictional one.

Historical Mod - changes setting to a different historical era OR concentrates on increasing historical accuracy of original setting

Enhancement - leaves setting and historical content largely unchanged but changes game-play / graphics / music etc...

Sub-mod - designed to work only as a part of a specific parent mod

Add-on - adds a very specific item, e.g. a faction, a set of units - doesn't change overall game-play

Mod-support - needed for other mods to resolve conflicts or add language translations etc - not needed for vanilla game

Bug-Fix - self explanatory!

Scope

Examples:

Total Conversion - aims to change every aspect - normally to convert to a different setting - not recognisable as vanilla game

Overhaul - changes most aspects, including units/textures

Game Play - changes like unit stats balancing, economy, diplomacy, possibly also including BAI CAI changes

Battle AI - focused on AI behaviour in battle

Campaign AI - focused on AI behaviour in campaign

Custom Battle - only used for battles - no campaign play

Specific things, if the mod changes one element list that, e.g.

Units

Music

Languages

Setting

Examples:

Original - if unchanged from vanilla game

Westeros for Game of Thrones mods - Middle Earth for Lord of the Rings mods etc.

*th century for time shift on same 'campaign map' as vanilla - use <span style="display:none">100+*</span> to make it sort properly,

e.g. 9th century needs <span style="display:none">109</span>

All - for add-ons or fixes that are not dependent on setting

Parent

If the mod is a sub-mod add a link to the required parent mod here

Released/Updated

Date of latest release or update - please stick to yyyy-mm-dd format to make it sort logically! Note; It's not expected that this will always get updated here, but should give users some idea if the mod's been worked on in the last few years or not...
