    Dito.
    Rome seems pretty easily moddable, but I don´t know about Medieval and I know nothing at all about Shogun.

    This looks as if it will be an I don't know victory.

    Had this topic been posted in the modding sections, you would receive a clear answer. I think I heard somewhere that it's Medievil, but I don't know for sure.

    Well, maybe, but I'm a RTW modder. I've never modded any of the other games, so I don't know either...

    Same for me too

    Looks like it's going to be a conclusive victory for the combined might of 'I don't know' and 'Gah!'.

    I don't know, I have only really tried modding RTW and it is quite easy for simple things, but the model/faction and such limits are a pain in the butt for serious modding ventures.

    MTW is a bit easier to mod because it is actually written into sort of an understandable code for Modding newbs like me, although adding factions and the sort is still a pain in my arse, it is miles easier than doing so in RTW. It only took me a couple of hours to get the hang of modding MTW code, but it still takes forever to mod anything worthwhile (factions and New Units).

    RTW

    Because it is the only one I have to mod with.

    STW is almost non-moddable. I´ve modded MTW extensively and with RTW I´ve just changed text files so my vote goes to MTW. Doing this poll in a year might swing my vote to RTW though

    I voted MTW, as that's the only game I have modded in a very basic way (changing names, and giving units to this or that faction etc).

    So if even I can "mod" MTW, it really can't be that hard.

    But the thing is that I haven't even tried to do this with RTW. Should probably just be a matter of spending some more time studying the file structure, but as I don't have that much time I guess that was the end of the mini-modding story for me...

    I voted RTW, i got used to the files VERY easily, while i am still confused around MTW, for one thing RTW's files are easily found e.g data/world/maps/campaign/imperial campaign...its just easy

    I caught a fleeting glimpse

    The dream is gone.
