2011 Huo Hu Award Voting: ROM of the Year
Nominees:
Destiny of an Emperor 2.0
It has to have my nomination as the father of the current mod flavors. Yes, DOAE Cao Cao expanded up the possibilities by starting off with a different crew. Lud's new system will prolly be seen as '3.0' style system that will prolly replace current stuff :).
Destiny of an Emperor 2.0: Cao Cao Edition
This is the mod that got me into DoaE ROM hacking. Totally different story, different characters, increased difficulty, several new innovations at the time, easter eggs, and more. So this gets my nomination for the first annual rom of the year. Of course there are also other mods that I really enjoyed.
Well this derseves my recommendation, it was made in 2009 and still be good enough to be considered one of the best DoaE mods ever created. Play it and you'll know why.
Definitely has to be this for me (not really ROM of the year, but all the ROM's up until this point in DoaE hacking – end of 2011). DoaE 2.0 was fun, but kind of felt like a waste of time because it's the same story. But DoaE 2.0 Cao Cao edition helped set a template for building new roms with different forces, and made us consider different factors when building a mod. For example, there is a surplus of talented officers in Wei but the Wei mod is a clinic on making officers useful for a certain time (ie fixed soldier counts that last just long enough for the character to be useful). Combined with a brilliant story, hacking ahead of it's time, and the perfect difficulty balance, it is the clear winner for me. Doesn't hurt that of the three top forces, Wei is definitely at the top for me in terms of interest (Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Zhang He, etc are some of my favorites).
Yuan Shao's Revenge
I don't believe I've played enough mods to be able to make an informed decision on this category. Right now, the front runner is Yuan Shao's Revenge.
I'm hoping that one of these can pull ahead by 2 or more votes then we can declare a victor. If you haven't voted, vote!
