It's a fair question, the answer is I'm not planning on overcoming the issue. You can either 1) play without mods, 2) play with mods on a 32-bit system and crash more often or 3) get a 64-bit system.

Iam so much looking forward to that mod yey!

and i can help with sounds and music

But what if..

- A module to replace 3D with 2D

Resulting in a blending of sorts, between the world map and cloth. A nice looking avatar, for unit and army, which fits the look of the terrain art. Thus, rather than rendering every unit in an army, and every army within view; can we instead, have option to replace with a 2D static image?  Lightly highlighted with a disc below, or around, the unit. Disc, for purpose of making units more visible now that they've the same style of art, as their surroundings. Also being for optional display of info, such as.. Thickness of disk indicating how many units in stack. Color indicates allegiance. ++  I think this would be a neat visual style which may also appeal to people using beyond spec machines. 

- Can a program be made which will render a 2D composite image from up to 9 different existing pics?

For the purpose of an update-able, 2D Army graphic, which can reflect the unit composition within the stack it represents. Could a program call the unit UI pics from the unit folder, then blend those "bust" shots together as a composite pic, which might then be displayed on the world map? 

Failing the above, can a program can be made to take a 'screen shot' of how an army is currently rendered on the world map. Then auto-convert that 2D pic to a stylized version, sharing the same look as the terrain art? I've seen programs which convert photo to comic and cartoon, mug shots to smurfs ++. I've assumed the programs were resource light, seeing as how prolific and varied they are online. Could something along those lines, offer an alternative visual style, using less system resources, leaving more room for Content and Largeness! 

- Would a 2D graphic option, allow users on 32 bit systems, to play bigger mods?

     Could it be made as a core module, operating ahead of every other module?

        With the pic updating whenever the 'style data' of any unit or army changes?

- And could a mod, tweak tactical battles towards a Battle of Wesnoth style fighting?

       Thereby allowing huge maps, with points of interest, value, and purpose

           Quests and Campaigns would be awesome played this way. Continuity within a series of tactical maps.

           A method to gain a "second map" of sorts, for explore-able dungeons, multi-army fortress seige etc.

           Options for Capture the Flag battles, Arena/Challenge fighting, Training Battles (which train AI: method of use).

           More..

- Could a Gnomish minded modding of the game, be made for Linux?

- More..

Can you imagine an AEon Flux mod, playing out in a visual style, similar to the original animated series? With battles playing out as a series of still shots with posing appropriate to the action? Music in the style of the series. I think that'd be awesome! And a Heavy Metal mod, and a mod for under appreciated Superheroes, Final Fantasy, GI JOE, Land of the Lost:Colonized, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Smurfs, whatever...

I lost track of which thread I was posting in. There was some thread syncronicty going on. The above were an add-on thought to a previous post, better said elsewhere than your Mod thread. Apologies.

In FE they have changed the armor models, so factions that used certain models that worked in E:wom won't work any more. So time to edit them!

Note the head, biceps and the chest that were clipping badly with stuff. Boots and bracers still clip a lot. Also that spike in the back shouldn't be there, wonder where that came from...

For every model that looks right, there are probably 10 that looks wrong. And for every 10 that looks wrong, there is one that looks horribly wrong. I can only tell you that it did not suffer for long.

Your modeling skill seems to increasing. Great Job!

Despite all the work that has gone into the Drota, both back in E:wom and now, I still think they feel pretty weak (they're _basically_ goblins...). So I was thinking to myself, how can I kick it up a notch? Then I thought... why just a "notch", let's aim for full retard and see where we end up.

The Drota are now spider hybrids:

There's a bit of work that needs doing for this, most importantly the front legs of the spider model will need to be removed, plus the skin of the spider needs to be tweaked so it doesn't look like a face on the "base" of the humanoid torso. Still, this is happening.

Oh, they will. But they'll favour archery, I think, given their quick speed around the battlefield.

If you don't mind my critique, they look good but I think they'd look better without the fangs.

Maybe if you just add to small spheres under each of them?
