THE LORDZ GAMES STUDIO EXPANDS
CHRISTIAN WALTER JOINS WARGAMING SPECIALIST

Capellen, Luxembourg, 3rd of December 2013

Today The Lordz Games Studio (http://www.thelordzgamesstudio.com/) announce that Christian Walter has joined their ranks as creative director. Walter aka King Kong is coming directly from the modding communities as one of the most celebrated Total War modders with titles under his belt as Stainless Steel and Third Age Total War. Four years in the making, his Lords of the Ring modification Third Age: Total War has been downloaded over 1.000.000 times and is praised by the players as being one of the best ever made. Everything from the classic movie was recreated in detail: units, settings, buildings, animations, etc.

"I am very glad Christian has joined us as a creative director", said Tim van der Moer, Managing Director of The Lordz Games Studio. "Development of strategy and wargames is a pretty specific thing and we really need to focus on details and quality of both visual and gameplay. Christian is perfect for the role, because he comes from a world where you have to keep engaging with players to refine and improve your product".

Szymon Gatner, Technical Director of The Lordz Games Studio said, "After working with Christian for some time now as an external developer, he proofs to be the right man for the job, gifted with an impressive set of skills combined with the right attitude and motivation.

Christian joins the company to work on important projects such as Warhammer 40,000®: Armageddon™, the Commander series, the Panzer Corps series and various other unannounced titles."

I'm not too surprised, Third Age did give King Kong quite a bit of popularity; I've heard of people who've never heard of TW try out Third Age.

Then part of the Lordz Gaming Studios mods TW I.e Lordz modding team (Sub branch right?) creating their NTW 1-3 mods. So Lordz probably knows of the modding community at TWC,Exillian, etc.

Good job King Kong!

I hope this brings many good design choices to make your games even more satisfying.

(Especially Armageddon, even after no real time combat I still await it since it reminds me of Final Liberation)
