Goody! Now where are the modding tools?

[Durallan]

where are the modding tools and wheres a DLC that expands the grand campaign map :P I'll buy these unit dlcs if i win lotto, I'd prefer to buy a bigger map myself

Actually the DLC adds 14 units for the UK and USA and exactly one unit for the french...

Unfortunately it's completely uninteresting to me. The MP campaign might be nice though.

And today is the day I am happy I'm on leave until the 14th.

Considering the lack of anything tangible for the US, it is very uninteresting for me as well. Half of the new units are generic "1st <insert state>" that have no real identity of their own beyond their number. Why not just play the main campaign and rename some beefed up line infantry?

The MP campaign might be fun for those interested.

Ive been hoping for the MP camp - it might save the game for me

I like the Idea of the co-op camp but the AI isnt a challenge for 1 player let alone 2

so I guess adversarial camp will be interesting - although hard to balance - what if the AI ganks 1 player while the other can build up his forces relatively freely because of scripted hate/events etc? How fair a game will be will very much depend on the nations chosen - I can picture playing Prussia - fighting off every bordering AI on my turn - to have the other player (England) land with with a full stack and finish me off - rage quit

Well, where's the MP beta? My comp downloaded the option for new DLC, but I see no multiplayer campaign. What's going on?

Apply, get emailed key, put it into steam, play.

That seems to be it.

That was easy. I signed up, it sent straight away, i activated the key in steam, it went.
