It's been quite a while since I've updated anything (I started school a couple weeks ago, but that isn't everything), but I figured I'd ask this: Should I just stop working on Neoclidia? It seems like no one really cares. Plus, Aezeal has included R'lyeh (which will liely overlap Neoclidia in many places) in his current mod, which seems to have become the Official Dom3K Mod (interestingly, most nations right now are simply extensions of old Dominions III nations into space). Not to mention the (very cool) Aboleth nation Honeybadger is working on for Dom3K. Thus is seems like Neoclidia doesn't really have much of a place. So, shall I begin working on something else?

Note: Work will likely be slow, if it does happen, due to school and chronic procrastination.

Note 2: Why are basing Dom3K nations (if the current ones aren't temporary) off of Dominions III nations' military and culture almost exclusively? We could use the modern-day culture of the nations' inspired, well, cultures as well as the Dominions III state. For example, Jomon could be a primarily space-based nation with few and slightly weaker planetside units, depending on enemies not getting to your bases rather than defending the bases themselves (since Japan is an island nation, and if I remember, doesn't have much of a military). Ulm has many things you could take from WWI, WWII, and the current day (if going by WWI, a slightly outdated offensive military but powerful defenses (just like everyone else in WWI), but slightly cheaper than normal units due to the offensive nature of heir part in WWI, or possibly a larger stronger army; if going by WWII, an incredible offensive army with poor defenses and little AoE so that Eastern Front-style infantry swarms would be fairly effective; if using the modern day, err, long-ranged aircraft and a resource bonus at bases due to a powerful economy? I don't know, modern-day Germany doesn't bring to mind any special tanks, weapons, or the like). Oh wow that was really really long. But anyways yeah we don't need space-wars based off of ancient cultures. Although a bunch of warriors in loincloths duking it out on Tatooine does sound sort of cool.

It's too late for me to write things, they turn out too lengthy. Sigh.
