Sounds swell, are you guys going to have special webpages for thoes
modpacks? If I can get some urls then ill start making a modpack section
on the download section.

How is modpacks handled now in 1.8.0? 

If I understand this correct the civ:ctp and the freeciv mode would be
there when we think we are finished with the civ II mode. and can start
on the civ:ctp mode. If of course somebody thinks it would be fun.
The freeciv mode could be for stuff we want in freeciv but doesnt belong
in the civ I, civ II or civ:ctp modes. The freeciv mode and the civ:ctp
mode could be built from the present civ II mode.
