Dear Creative Assembly,
To date, one of the most limiting factors in our attempts to mod the game is our inability to change the AI in any but the most elementary of ways (that is, changing the faction AI parameters). In order to make total conversions work properly, with strategic balance changes, we must be able to tweak the AI for it to function well and provide a challenge.
This is truly necessary if RTW is to live up to its billing as an incredibly "modable" game. While being able to play with graphics and animations is nice, we need more than the surface level that seems to be exposed if we want to build deeper, richer gaming experiences. Opening the AI to at least the level it was open in MTW is a wonderful start - the more we can change it, the better we can make our mods. If we can also tweak the battle AI, we will be in your debt.
Please consider this request, as currently the changes modders can make to the strategic and tactical aspects will have bad effects on the AI. Modifications will be limited to mostly cosmetics until we have this ability.
Sincerely,
-Brian Bilek
