From the EuroGamer.Net article with Mike Simpson;

" "We haven't really fleshed out what we can and can't do from a modding point of view," Simpson went on. "We're going to spend some more time actually talking to the modder groups and try to come up with a plan that actually delivers them what they need rather than what we think they need, which isn't necessarily the same thing."

To that end, Creative Assembly has organi[z]ed a modding summit at Total War HQ in Horsham, England. That's next month. Key modders from the community will be invited and both parties will work together for mutual gain."

Is this actually legit info? Cuz it sounds too good to be true. Ye gods I hope the EB team is all over this!
