2012 Huo Hu Award Voting: Best Story line/Text Modifications
Nominees:
Rise of Ieyasu (by sonic penguin 2012)
I will also nominate Rise of Ieyasu for Best Story line/Text Modifications for a lot of the same reasons I mentioned before. New characters, new portraits, new story. There is not a single character that I'm aware of that came from the original DOAE (besides chapter 9 but that's still different).
Destiny of an Emperor 2.0 – Cao Cao Edition (by James 2007-2009)
This was the first mod I played that completely deviated from the Liu Bei and the gang story line. It had massive text updates and a completely different story. Really liked the story on the Yuan Shu mod too. I tend to favor mods that change the main cast of characters and change the story around.
yep a huge amount of text has been updated and I really liked the part when Ma Chao left because Cao Cao killed his father, nice story.
James tells a great story and he knows the history well. Lots of thought went into this tale.
Destiny of an Emperor 2.0 – Rise of Lu Bu (by sonic penguin 2011-2012)
the plethora of changes, and overall theme is quite consistent…. and the fictional story progression is in place as well. Comedy is nice.
Yuan Shao's Revenge (by MiDKnighT 2010-2012)
I really thought this mod was well done, and to be honest I wasn't sure how the author would pull the Yuan Shao cast off. It was well done. I really appreciated that the people involved in some cases pre-dated stock DoaE, which would have been Yuan Shao's glory days.
