Is LTC an unofficial and unadvertised patch for M2TW

[Budwise]

I was wondering before and wanted to ask but reading the post on how Sega has to greenlight changes I am more convinced. I believe its the unofficial patch because I notice some things that only CA can add onto like I notice better speaches even playing as England and the diplomacy is so much better. They even seemed to fix the reputation (Which only I feel was broken) and other little things that I think were hardcoded.

Does anyone else think this way. Even if the developer puts his own name instead of the CA title, he could still work/subcontract for CA and because of the way Sega has been acting, I wouldn't be surprised if CA would keep their name off of it.

I also say this because people play what they enjoy and it seems like everyone just plays this mod, I tried the Custom Campaign mod and it seems that nobody was even interested because they were playing LTC.
