Just uninstalled M2TW...

[Lucasiewicz]

If a really enjoyable total conversion of M2TW comes out before 2009 Ill be surprised. No Problem.

Time enough to search myself a second-handed copy of M2TW. That way I save some money and be friendlier to the environment at once. Besides, if I find one, that's simply because its' previous owner did not want it anymore. Oh yeah, that way CA won't get any more money. I don't hate them, they honestly have a fantastic game-engine, but M2TW will simply be the first non-expansion game in the total war series that I will not buy. With all the available games on the market, I limit myself to buy only the onces from companies that deliver a good customer-care (f.e. Stardock) and have great quality games which have been worked on to achieve a high-standard and bugfree game with enough depth in int. Unfortunately, CA lacks the dedication that modders do put in RTW and M2TW.

I'm probably going to be shouted down for this, but....

I think that the EB team (once finished with EB) should make a more accurate medieval mod for M2TW, not another Roman one. I'd like to see a more advanced EB, yeah, but I'm so happy with it now, that if the modders shut down and we were left with 0.8, I'd still count myself fortunate as hell.

Besides, I've always wanted to rebuild the Roman Empire under the Byzantine banners, and succeed where so many others had failed. And after playing MTW and doing it easily in a single night (as opposed to the weeks of playing a single EB or EU2 campaign), I've really been fiending for a top-notch medieval mod for M2TW.

But first things first. Please finish EB. But don't kill yourselves doing it.

I bought the Total War Collections since it included MTW2 when I was out of town on business and found EB and didn't have my RTW CDs. Still havent even installed MTW2.


I even play it at work durring lunch and coffe breaks. And at 2am, and before work, and.....

Most of our members are not as interested (or interested at all in some cases) in the Medieval period, so EB will certainly not be working in that direction. EB2 will far surpass anything we could possibly do on RTW, mostly because of the new recruitment system in MTW2 and the ability to quite heavily mod the Ai stuff (I'm in particular thinking of the campaign Ai). This on its own (without all the other advancements in MTW2) makes it certain that EB will make it to the new engine at some point.

(unless Im behind on modding news) -- the issue of getting EB2 off the ground, really, will be once adding new models is cracked...or opened up.

[kalkwerk]

Sure, but therell be more work with those new units.

[Zaknafien]

Exactly, as each unit will not only require versions for facftion, rebel, and mercenary types, but also 3-4 different versions of each skin within each unit :)

I wonder why CA is taking so long to release the needed mod tools. What are they gaining by waiting so long. Atari (NeverWinter Nights 2) and other companies release stuff like this before their games come out.
