TWS2 modding

[Ibn-Khaldun]

How easy it is to mod the game? Have the developers said anything in their previews?
Is the game similar to ETW in regards to modding? Or can we mod it like RTW?

[TosaInu]

I'm guessing it would be quite similar to NTW. I recall something about the release of official polished NTW modtools when TWS2 was going to be shipped.

I doubt the tools will work on S2TW though.

It will be tough, and will depend on what the coders can make to let average joes like me do anything.

All this 'making it better and more complicated so its harder to let you mod it' stuff is tripe.

Look at how much EU3 can do, and the entire game is text files, and anyone can modify almost anything.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I agree with what you say about EU3. It is quite easy to mod it.

I really hope that Shogun2 will be something like that.

I also prefer text files and standard images. That can't be for 3D models of course. STW already had difficult parts with seemingly standard files which required a special editor to stay working.

I depends on the game engine. Some engines, compile scripts on the fly, some do not.
