I wouldn't worry about this too much, since you can just put together a standard sidec03.mix that duplicates sidec02. What we should do to support this modding effort is create useable assets and supporting .ini files to create an 'expandmd02.mix' (hey WW aren't going to use any higher than 01 now so we might as well fill in the rest) that along with the exe patch will make a true community 1.002 patch. Thats another thing to hack actually, the version number reported on the main screen of YR

TX related: Make Ice1Set, Ice2Set, IceShoreSet and TrainBridgeSet terrain tile logics work again.

This of course needs to integrate into the TX, so is the only thing that wouldn't directly go into the full patch (unless we were to integrate the whole TX into it...everyone got broadband right?)

Correct animation position for a third campaign selection button and make an animation play for it.

Probably best to leave this until last since although it would be nice, it would probably be the least used and my workaround gives useable results. Depends on how much extra code pd can cram into the exe for us.

Adding extra InfDeaths, if possible with the added feature of passing Player information to the MakeInfantry system.
InfDeaths is the most useful to me. Some of the above may be possible, some may not, there's probably a few more things that other people would like to have looked into.
Lol. Poor pd. The vultures are circling.
@pd: I may be able to write an even better installer/patcher for your hacks. I'll try and make something and send it to you soon.

I think its fair to say that some modders will find some added feature more useful than others. It will be unfair IMO to try and apply personal bias to what gets done first (except for pd's bias since he's actually doing it) because what might benefit your personal project might not benefit the most people in the community overall (like the campaign selection screen for example).
