I guess copyrighted IP arguments fly out the window when we aren't talking about BA. Nice double standard there...
ca should be the default just because its the shiniest and has the most features
That's not entirely true. Many of the other Games for spring have much to offer as well. The only thing is they are usually 1 - 2 man projects instead of the army that is working on stuff for CA.
I am making a mod that completely shoves textures out the window, and replaces them with 100% reflectivity. What now!
That should be the default mod. Ill also add an improved mouse trail script, some tooltips that pop up every 2 minutes to reminding you to tech up, a nice build menu that is 3 dimensional, and is constantly spinning so you can see all the units that you dont want to make, a custom AI that cheats in krogoths, a custom commander that bears my shapely helmet, and of course, the commander nametags script, without which I could not live. This is obviously the ideal mod.
