To be honest, I really don't like the fact that any modding activity is perceived by our veterans (if I may call them that) as an opportunity to complete NCF, NHF, or constantly suggest adding assets to the Dreadnought mod 5.5.
Don't get me wrong, I have a good attitude towards these mods. But they have their drawbacks; the NCF package has a lot of absurd and poorly designed creatures. NHF, personally for me, unfortunately, often causes the game to crash and heats up my computer to ridiculously high temperatures. And 5.5 looks too bulky, and I probably will never find the time to figure it out.
And every time someone does something, and they say, "Great, we'll add this to NHF, NCF, 5.5," I get this unpleasant feeling. On the one hand, it's not a big deal, and there's no way to forbid it. On the other hand, it feels like everything is focused on these things. How can you then expect new, complex, and interesting mods to appear if there's almost a monopoly here?
I'm not even talking about the fact that sometimes people try to grab everything that isn't nailed down. On the English-language forum, when I was creating a thread about Star Wars, someone immediately commented, "Cool, we'll add this to the NCF package." Why? I tried to say that I was against it and that stormtroopers from Star Wars in Ashan, against the backdrop of elves and dragons, would look... silly. But I was gently told, "We'll do it anyway." So, from my perspective, it looks like I haven't even finished the mod yet, and it's already being planned to be dissected for resources, and most importantly, to create something unnecessary and tasteless. Although, of course, this is an isolated extreme case.
In general, don't get me wrong, I'm all for cooperation. I'm really all for it. And I would be happy to help NHF with models of heroes from one of my mods. I just think that we need to be more careful with this, "we'll take this for NCF, NHF, 5.5." Don't we have more than three mods for Heroes? At least, I really want it to be that NCF, NHF, and 5.5 aren't the only things that matter. In short, at least think before asking for resources, whether you really need it and how it can be used correctly (in my opinion, the ideal option is to create a compatibility patch).

And regarding the fact that someone is trying to create their own models, I am sincerely glad. I would like to maybe start a thread on the forum later where we can share experiences on this topic. What do you think, should we?
