Hey everyone!
We hope you are enjoying 1866 for what it is so far. Many people have noted that it is quite fun now, but that there are still some obvious problems to be fixed. We completely agree.
We are doing our best to make 1866 great, but we can always use help from skilled members of the community to make it even better.
If you think you would be able to help us out in any way, please post a response in this thread and we will contact you if your help is currently needed.
We are currently in need of:
We are also requesting models in the following categories:
We are also requesting scenes in the following categories:
Can't mod but still want to help?
Why not try gathering some media? (Please post whatever you find in a separate thread.)
Please keep in mind that everything in the mod must fit the time (1866) and the locale (Southwest United States - Roughly the border area of Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico). No Anachronisms!
It is very important to keep in mind copyright laws. We either require explicit permission (or an expired copyright) on everything we use. As a general rule....
Remember to use your imagination. If you see something missing from the mod, think about how it can be added, and how you can help do it!
Thank you to everyone in advance for your help,
The 1866 Team

Wikipedia says: In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. In the United States, the term for most existing works is a fixed number of years after the date of creation or publication.
