tinu050699, I think so. That is most definitely the case for this mod.

do all the mods that say they require IA for 5.7 work for IA for 5.8?

Aristoxenus, yes but it's not for IA.

Nice mod, but did you or do you know if someone made a "Byzantine Architecture" the closest one is "Greek building" and its only for mesoamericans

That's way beyond my ability to do lol

The one ironic workaround I can think of is to give the Saracens/Persians/Turks/other ME civs the ME graphics by way of the IA mod, and let his specialty Byzantine building set be the 'default' graphics set -- but all civs still gets their graphics that way. It's very much a roundabout method and probably takes up too much space to be worth it. If I knew what to do I'd try it.

I know, even Warsmithy's "beta" versions of his graphics are awesome. I can't wait to see the final results!

I forgot to say this earlier, but thank you very much for this mod. I'm one of those people who always wanted the Byzantines to have their own distinct building style, and especially their own distinct monastery for obvious immersive reasons, and this helps so much. Thank you again! (And The_Nomad for an excellent monastery. :steamhappy:)

Pure fanboy bellyache: I do wish Catbarf/Warsmithy would let you port his Byzantine set for IA, but oh well. I'm looking forward to his final planned Byzantine set and I know he wants that one used, but the one he uploaded onto here genuinely looks good in its own right. (Plus, two neat Byzantine building sets!)

With Possidon, I'm sincerely sorry in that case. I assumed that that statement was a permissive one. That being said I don't want to give the impression that I'm trying to disrespect the original authors, especially given the hard work they put into their mods.
Mediocre Emperor  [author] 23 Sep, 2017 @ 11:19am 
Understood. Either way its removed until and if I get an affirmation out of respect for his hard work.

I think it did changed(?), but Possidon said that he's fine with it being on the Workshop. He was just upset since he was never contacted about it.

I'm not saying fr steve won't allow you to re-host IA versions his mod(s), I'm saying that you should try to contact him, and other modders, for permission to. It's just that fr steve has had issues in the past of people re-uploading or editing his mods or content from his mods without talking to him first about it.

I'm not aware of anyone who would have issues with their mods being re-uploaded as IA Conversions, but it's simply good practice to reach out to the original authors first.

I know that Possidon on his Sherwood Graphics upload outright stated that people were free to use them, complete the mod, etc. as long as they credited the creator. If his sentiments changed then I will remove it out of respect.

Saint_Michael, it has been a mixed bag. I contacted Catbarf and the author of the Incan buildings and have not seen a response (hence why I have not uploaded IAs of their works yet) but admittably I have not been as vigilent with contacting authors whose works were on the original AOK Heaven. Thank you in advance for the information on fr steve, I will remove his portion of the mod from this out of respect. Are there any more modders that you know of who would not like their mod to be uploaded?

Now don't take this the wrong way, I am thankful that you are putting in a lot of work into making IA Conversions, but you are contacting or trying to contact the original authors to convert and reupload the mods? Possidon, who made the Sherwood Buildings, as well as a few other members have issues and been vocal about the sudden influx of re-uploads on the AoK Heaven Forums, mainly because they were never asked or contacted. I'm not sure if The_Nomad is still active, but fr steve is someone I know for a fact isn't a person that likes people re-distributing mods without their permission.

I know that you are crediting the original authors and providing links, but not everyone wants their work to be re-hosted by other people, which is why, for example, the Byzantine Buildings and Incan Buildings, both very popular mods and requests, do not have an IA Conversion yet.
