Well done mate. I'm unbelievably chuffed for you. You are one of the many on here who I've been looking at thinking: Jesus this guy is at least as good as many of the level designers I know from the industry, when the hell will someone give him a proper job.

When you get there remember: making mods is just as hard as pro game design. Don't ever let anyone tell you different. We are the cutting edge, the industry follows us!

Hope you'll keep us up to date with how you are getting on :)

Thats why I put a link to their site in my original post. They made all the Total War RTS games, eg Rome: Total War etc. Napoleon: Total War got nominated for a BAFTA this year.

That's impressive, but I thought the BAFTA's where the British Film and Television Awards?
