As for improvements in overall modding support, well it would be nice.

Hopefully they'll improve the -mod switch though, expanding what files it looks for and fixing the no-custom battles.

What was the problem with no-custom battles?

yeah but it's kinda useless for anything but the smallest mods. For example you can't use modified animation files. If the new -mod parameter actualy makes the game use another folder as if it were the data folder that would be excellent - and I think that's what Shogun is saying here.

The biggest benefit I would like to see would be the absence of a Senate faction, combined with Roman linked factions. MY understanding is that BI won't have this to start with, which should make factions easier to modify. They will cease to be 'linked' and be independant.
