Just wondering if anyone is able to create some lower/mid range poly models of the hedges that are included as part of the core assets? Currently the hedges have hi and low poly versions. The low poly versions are very basic and range between 50-100 polys. The hi poly models are mostly 2500 and 5000 polys with one even being 9600. When using hedges in maps, most times they will be used in rows or columns, this means poly count can start to skyrocket if too many of them are used. I found this out with my map Blackgrove Manor. With the hedge models being smaller in size, it also means there are many unnecessary polys being wasted on the interconnecting sides. Creating some longer and/or taller hedges would help alleviate those unnecessary polys. If anyone is able to help out with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Btw the question should probably include the elephant in the room - if social media is a problem i.e. Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram etc. Face that off against the principle of taking a balanced approach. Don't crack a nut with a sledgehammer. I don't know how do we take out informational trash apart. Spotting fake news is usually too politicized in this regard. Not individualized enough.

Can you take a look at the names of campaigns or similar that do not fit the loading screen? I changed them to fit in my Unofficial Patch and while you are going through FMs you might do the same. You can find my version here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/the-dark-mod-unofficial-patch

Started final phase: minor updates to FMs. Updated Matter of Hours FM: now loading GUI shows two tips for approximately half time each. The mirrors have not updated yet --- to be investigated. I must admit that downloading this FM in TDM 2.09 when most of the mirrors have not updated yet is not fun. If we do a hotfix release soon, the fix for downloader should be included.

I've selected the first option but I want to add that I would do that with a kid that's able to distinguish fiction from reality and that's it's more a 50/50 option between the first and second. As a kid I've seen and played a lot of stuff that wasn't for my age and it never affected me. I think the biggest problem is the time you're allowed to play as that does a lot more damage than the content itself. In my time there was a cartoon called Alfred J. Kwak and one of the antagonists was called Dolf and was a perfect reflection of Hitler. Pure propaganda. In today's age such a cartoon wouldn't be allowed anymore, just like there were so many cartoons that today wouldn't be allowed anymore. None of these have affected me or anyone I know, but addiction certainly has (not me as my parents were strict in time allowance, but some friends had big problems).

How about some music, instead of a location? I found a music channel "beeldle the bardcore "on youtube, where popular music is remade with medieval instruments. (you can also do it yourself, using a midi file, a DAW and some VST's using medieval instrument samples) For example some Rap tunes to "pimp up the pub":
