I was thinking about starting a total modification for RTW, since I've learnt a few things like editing the campaign map, editing txt files, and some other basic things, and my question is "is starting a new modification worth it, or is it just a waste of time ?"
I read DJ's thread about how the game was not that moddable, and so far, I've encountered some problems with modding the game :
- I can't add new factions
- I have to use a Senate-like faction
- If I edit the map heights, the battle map for the edited square won't change (if I get rid of a forest, the battle will still take place in a forest)
- I can't edit the faction icons in the menu
- A couple of other things I don't remember of.
I don't know how MTW was moddable when it gets released. Did you have to wait for patches and VI to fully edit/mod the game ?
