I think a mod might push Aaron to doing more art (of what is done now, all that is missing is Jaret Arnold). Other than that, it is a matter of personal preference I suppose. I don't think the audio is to big of a deal (you might be able to disable it and just have read messages? I dunno). But the images are definitely silly. It is your mod though, man, do whatever you want to do with it.

How many nations are you planning on making?
