I enjoyed this ep (I enjoy the others also, BTW), viewing the links while listening.

Eventually, I may even get around to swapping in some new artwork on my own (and be successful at it). As it is, I just do xml changes (to satisfy my realism ideals while not screwing the AI too much). Basing it on Hephmod Beyond (nudge, nudge) gives a great base to begin.

Good episode. However, @ ImpalerWRG ... Dr Wriggles, wiggles, whatever's event manager is sooo old school. You guys should really talk to EmperorFool - he has written an XML initializer where you just create your own event manager, create an associated xml file and then include ...

  < load mod="Unit Naming" / >

... in the init.xml file and it automatically loads it and handles any events it needs. Actually, I have no idea what I am talking about () because I don't understand what it is doing - I just cut and paste and it usually works for me .
