Who will be modding?

Who will be modding?

The mod tools for this game look great. I made some tiles with beta 4 and can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the tools.

Are you planning to create mods? What are you thinking you will make?

As a former game  artist  and  current  illustrator  that  loves  turn-based games, I  am  planning  to  mod  Elemental  to  hopefilly capture  a  stronger  graphical  feel. Though I  believe  tha  game  artists did  an  admirable  job  with  the  stylized  graphics (sorry  guys, but  I  see very  little  influence  of  Alphose  Mucha (who designed the postrer to the 1904 World's Fair), I feel  that  though  they  work  within the  framework of  the  game, they  are  a tad  barren  and  could  definitely  use  a sprucing  up.   I  am  thinking  about  an Alice in Woderland  (surral  elements), or  a Wizard of  Oz  influence.  Gotta  sketch  first, but  I  wish  I  knew  some  programming... sigh.....

Awesome. I am looking forward to seeing your mods and creations.

I'm a decent 3D modeller and animator, so I'll doubtlessly be adding new models for units and weapons into the game. I tend to dislike the usual stuff that modders come out with -- not that it isn't good, just a matter of taste.

However, my primary focus will be on spells. Creating new spells, spell icons, and most importantly, flashy spell effects.
