I have and will. I want to make mods based on Shakespeare plays, regardless of the disinterest. Although it will most likely be a quick stop after a passionate start.

But I will make random tiles I hope someone will find useful.

- Othello

I have not programmed anything in over 10 years, but if it's not too complicated to familiarize myself with XML I would like to make some small additions to the game eventually (New quests, monsters, spells, maybe factions, etc.).

Well I definitely would like to give it a go. I have not been involved with the betas so I don't really know what is involved yet. Modeling and doing textures is a hobby for me so I will definitely make some stuff in that regard, & I really would like to get some experience with animating also. Maybe to begin with I would like to make some things that other people can use for their mods, but first I want to spend some time playing the game. And I have a mod to finish for SoaSE, so it will be a while before I start this in earnest.

I would consider AI modding if they provided the tools, documentation and AI fight capability.

The map editor is so horrible, that I think I won't be modding for this game. It's completely counter-intuitive and unresponsive. But I'll check out the release version, just in case.

I hope to, but I know how my attention spa---ooooo butterfly...

I plan on modding. I'll mostly do little tweaking mods, adding heroes (I want to do a community hero pack upon release), changing unit training (training packages), and add more/improved traits & professions (already started). Can't wait for release, been holding off more major modding so I don't have to change too much.

that all sounds interesting.. heh heh especially the treachery part if done well it would add nicely to the game...

That does sound fascinating! Find some freetime, I can't wait to see what you do.

No No No, he's my slave, er..I mean Valued Employee. I need Python scripters for the mod worse than a Ethiopian kid needs a bowl of rice.

Did I mention the bowl of rice? The Ethiopian kid is weak from starvation so snatching it from him is pretty easy.

Seriously though I can't offer much...lol. I can tell you there are a TON of Dragonlance Fans that have been waiting YEARS for a good Dragonlance Computer game. If we do this Mod right it could get a Lot of attention and honestly I could see a lot of old school Dragonlance fans like me buying Elemental just to play the Mod. Some of those Dragonlance fans work for companies or own companies that hire creatively talented people like you and me

I know some Basic, C# and C+ but not much. I'll be handling most of the XML based changes for the Mod as well but I know we'll need some Python scripting done for some of the changes I have in mind for the tactical battles.

I'll do a bit. I'm thinking some techs to improve cavalry are rather necessary, if they don't get implemented by Stardock right away, and I'd like to adapt some settings into this, though that might exceed my focus.

Forgotten Realms would pretty much have to be just a campaign, it's too complicated for a full conversion to work. Unless you did the 4e version, but then there's really no point.

Fall From Heaven would definitely be worthwhile, most of the necessary framework is already present.
