I'm a modder, and am making a mod for medieval 2 total war, and I found that there is a giant grey area around modding - and this line from the EULA concerned me most :
(f) reverse engineer, derive source code, modify, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of the Game Software, in whole or in part unless provided for in section (j) below; ( this is from the EULA as supplied by CA and/or SEGA)
and their is a large grey area surrounding mods and I am worried as from this I can assume that modding is illegal, and I was wondering if anyone knows the legalities of a mod using book information ( but not necessarily names or images ) is breaking multiple laws?
i think this is a important grey area that i want more information on.
