This died because at the time I stopped updating it and instead started working on a series of other mods.
Rather than post in a bunch of popular places, I'll tell my story here and leave it at that:
Phosphor was a submod of "my own" Perisno .772. I should explain that:
Perisno by then was 6 or 7 people, most of them in high school then, and the older leader Michadr who was the spokesperson for the mod. None of them could work 50 hours a week focused on a single mod like I did, and I ended up making most of the changes for 772 and compiling it. For religious reasons Michadr did not want "magic" in Perisno so I made a submod to explore that. Notably I did solve some of the issues around Perisno at that time - I merged Diplomacy with was around 150,000 lines to hand merge, not some simple kit as might be thought. I earlier had fixed a general bug with dialogs always thinking elves and other non human races HAD to be female gender, which involved no less than 15,000 changed dialog lines.
Stopping Phosphor I went to Rigale, and merged Diplomacy (again a 100 days hard merge, not trivial) as v11 and then tried the oldest OSP old Mount&Blade (not Warband) Magic I could find - Curtain of Fire". This became the v12 series, but it was not polished just a rough sketch to see what was possible. From there I started working on Warsword Conquest alongside Nameless Warrior, the leader for that mod, and spent 100 days merging Diplomacy into THAT mod, plus some of what I learnt from Rigale 12.
Diplomacy, at that time, was very dangerous once the Warband version became 1.68 as there were two threads in use not one and all scripts and simple_triggers used low count registers for parameter passing - reg0, reg1, reg2 and assumed other registers were stable over time, which is a big assumption. I had to spend considerable time protecting the code from Diplomacy, and I stopped to assist Perisno 0.8 with that, my last visit to Perisno by the way.
For Warsword Conquest "Winds of Magic" I did the bandit spawns, an early faction to faction prejudice (complete with virtual factions to allow one faction more than 1 type of prejudice), and re-arranged the combat code to allow Nameless to turn on some of Silverstag's extensions such as Ignore Pain. I reduced lag and added a great many tools to monitor party count, looking for different sources of lag. These would be useful for Phantasy Calradia in summer 2017.
By 2018 I had evolved no less than 60 distinct versions of Phantasy Calradia; I was tired and I felt I was disturbing people's play throughs too much, plus I ALSO had religious beliefs interfering with making Necromancers so powerful to players, for which some audience attacked me personally. I ran out of funds to pay back my day job for all the time I "wasted" 2015-2018 and left that job, needing 5 years to repair my finances at a call center, where I earned minimum wage due to my health blocking clearer thinking and attendance.
I returned to modding in 2024 for a remake of Phantasy Calradia basing the 2024 builds from v158 (that is, version 1.00 + 58th generation) and decided I should make the source code open source in case I die, as there was no value to having something that could never be supported. I'm not dead yet, so for 2026 I still have plans. I made my first Steam Workshop in November 2024 and prefer it for my test builds, as I update often. In 2025 I started a remake of Paradigm Worlds which I called Paradigm Chronomancer, intending to make 4 mods in a series. I am currently working on #2 of 4; this #2 includes Phantasy Calradia AND Paradigm worlds in a single mod, with a new map, but 25 factions and thousands of items and troop definitions make it slow to work on. I am retired so can finally work on my hobbies without a boss riding me or any players telling me what to do.
Recently some Chinese friends found me and invited me to bilibili; I came here when I asked them if anyone had made a Phantasy Calradia translation.

I think I am gsanders on bilibili as well.
