PawelS - For all he has done to help modders. His recoloring program is great and he have transformed units from Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 + add-ons, Icewind Dale 1 & 2 + add-ons and Planescape Torment into ILB units. For the programs he has created for the modding community. Recoloring, map transforms, making mods compatible with existing resources, colored spell icons, etc. Brilliant work! For all his work in the community, assistance and support. For being essential for all MOD makers. Without him, most MODs would only be half as good. And for being humble, although he is so important for this game (as we can see above). For all programs he has created. He made a great program this winter! Conversion program is the EVENT of this winter. No doubt it is the most outstanding event. Such things doesn't happen often and this program made almost a revolutionary opportunity to play AoW1 maps once again with AoW:SM. Whenever I tune into the mod forum he seems to have released another little tool for the community, and I'd like to hear more about how he figures out all the internal AoW stuff so fast.
It seems he's either a Triumph insider or he's cracked their firewall! The mod making communities' outstanding contributer.King david - For the great maps, turn logs, and amazing amount of restarts as of late! Also for his great maps with the best humour.
Zombie Eater - One of the strongest voices of reason in the community mod thread, as well as a fantastic and trustworthy PBEMer.
Hatifnat - For finding out how to add a 16th race to the game and making a mod with it, and for the idea of an unofficial patch, which he started a thread about.
Greenmonster - For the idea of a Map Converter. Great player, who makes great maps too.
Dwiggs - for his great mod. For his outstanding mod. For the amazing mod he has created. I do not think any other mod has achieved the popularity it has, so much so, it has spawned "mods" on top of it. For his patience and innovation in introducing a totally new way the game can be played... for making the best mod. For creating this superb mod out of nothing. For me gameplay goes before graphics and I really think he made an entire different game out of it. Too bad he hasn't shown too much activity this winter..
Dhuval - Transformed units from Warlords Battlecry
Magog - For the 100units mod. To collect the colored units of several people and color all Hero classes.
Evil Roc - for his great work on the random maps. Besides that he's ranked number 1 in the PBEM ladder, so bring on the tips!
Greenmonster. For being on top of all important game details and being such a strong and good player. He shares tips and he knows even if he shares, he can still win. For great tweaked random maps.
Climber - For making the best MOD (IMHO)
Black Hound - for his thoroughly thought world of Therin
Galahad_2nd - for actually making Tolkien maps with the Arda Mod I was nominated for last fall
Elurin - one of the best role-players in the Hall of Wonders
Timelord - he had the right kind of info i needed to save my map project.
Stranger - While suffering from his psychosis, causing all those neologisms and severe grandiosity he still managed to create one mighty fine twist on Dwiggs' his mod And also for his patience, kindness and humor during many games which really boosted the fun I've had.
Thanks to those for being such an inspiration and source of interest to us and this game! Keep up the good work!!
