The best place to start if you want to merge these two Mods together is ask Solaufein about it on the TeamBg website as he has been involved with it from the early days when Grog was around with CuCoinneach. I'm not bothered either way but if a combined version does happen I'd like to see it hosted on G3. Last time I worked on the BGEE version I aligned things up with what Kthos had done with the characters and some of the items so there is some commonality between the two. Over the years these two mods have become fairly balanced and both have been nerfed to make encounters easier although not to everyones taste. There is a lot of work involved with doing this and is not just about merging everything into the existing BGT code version. Also the version we have today for both Mods is unfinished. Any new version of this mod in whatever form it takes needs to take on board the changes and new ideas which CuCoinneach and others had in mind but were never fleshed out enough. New graphics for the old areas being one of those ideas.
