Mod tools for ETW

[mrjade06]

Has CA released the modtools yet for ETW? or are they waiting until after the release of Napoleon TW as theoretically a modder could make the same game without paying for it as it uses the same engine essentially...

I have to say any company that doesn't make their games mod friendly are just plain stupid. I'm not a modder but I see all the great work that modders do for free and it's incredible. Oblivion elder scrolls is a great example. Bethesda created a good game that was ok and made it modder friendly. Modders made this the best game ever. I prefer stategic games but this roll playing game was great. All the things that I thought should be in the game was addded by modders. Don't know what else to say Modders make medeocre games great.

Sadly CA is plain stupid and evil so they havn't released any modtools for ETW, don't look like they will anytime soon.

Yes and apart from that great game and company look at Valve with the SDK they've released which give the posibility to create completely new games(strategy, rpgs, etc) and they even highlight some of those in their steam news.
Heh even counter strike was done by modders and look now it's one of the most played games .

In conclusion CA has an stupid idea that either they'll help the competion or something that I just cannot understant since they are the ones that will loose the guys who pay.

Well, now that NTW is out, hopefully we will see the MP campaign up and running and perhaps those tools. Although modders have accomplished quite a bit without them so far.

To be honest, E:TW is a good base for a great game. Unfortunately without modding tools I cannot make it a great game. When I bought E:TW I bought it with the same reason as M2:TW, its modding potential.
CA's original games get old and boring. I sure as heck hope that they come out with some modding tools for this. Oh well, at least I learned my lesson. From now on do not buy a CA game until after it has been made mod friendly.
