Why not mod?

[hellenes]

I'm not quite getting you. This isn't about gameplay. This is about the number of factions. A game is obviously unfinished when lots of well-intended features don't work right or when bugs seriously affect the gameplay, not when faction xy isn't made playable. That's purely a design feature.
And if a person in NOT happy for a consuming good that he worked to pay for THEN something is wrong.

I agree on that but happiness has nothing to do with the moddability of such feature...
Every person has different standards of what makes one happy or not...
I replied in such way because I percieved your "happy" remark as if we should be gratefoul for CA proving such favour to us...correct me if im wrong.
I cant be grateful for something that I pay money for Im grateful for free things like mods but not for consuming goods.

If you can't be happy about something you bought then I pity you. I just bought a CD with Vivaldi's Four Season and I enjoyed it. Shouldn't that make me happy? What do I have money for if not to buy things that make me happy?

i could care less about how good the units look... how many factions there are.. how different cultures building look ect... in shogun you had i think 8 factions and 9 unit types available to them all.. the graphics were 2d.. all the buildings were the same and the only difference in the factions were the colors of the soldiers.. yet it was still the best version produced... every dollar that goes into eye candy is one less for gameplay..

true. STW was so simple compared to the games they release now, but still the best.

But as others have said, I don't mind what they do so long as people are happy and able to mod it.
