Minor nations playable?

Although true lenin, you just have to pay attention to a few posters.

Theres an incredible new unpacker out, we can hex edit unit stats.

But trust me, don't even THINK about CA bashing. There may not be strict rules about it, but I got my fill when I signed up at the M2TW launch.

As for those who just want a bigger map, leave it to me! When mod tools come out, I'm stopping play and hitting the maps.

Common misconception is that CA said they would make it easier to mod. They said we could mod more but made no comment on difficulty.

We've discovered already we can mod a lot more, we just can't yet.

What we really need is alpaca over here doing his work.

They did say unlocking the minor factions was a simple and easy change. I'm guessing we just need the mod tools to do it. Can't be much simpler than desc_strat.

Yes I know, CA makes me annoyed some times. I heard about the unpacker, there's a lot of people trying to unlock factions and I think they might do it by the end of next week.

Is alpaca still around pevergreen? I remember working with him on MA many moons ago, great modder!

As for CA bashing, its easy for people to forget that they are given time scales to work within, which is why we get the whole misconception of "unfinished", it is unfinished in CA's eyes yes, but not their publishers, its why games get patched to the high heavens, happens with all games companies. CA are by far one of the most "community friendly" companies I have seen, alot don't bother posting anything but patch threads and news updates, they rarely interact, so the fact CA does is very nice to see.

alpaca released the unpacker and lua editor for the demo. Hes around at the TWC at least.

The new unpacker is vastly superior though.
Even so, we still can't do anything.

I am getting all nostalgic now, I still think it was a great shame we never got MA or II out, it had potential.

Looks like it's finally done!

So far it seems the bugs to the mod is the fow covering up your starting location and emergent factions crashing the game. The first picture is the 13 colonies, not the US.
