Is LTC an unofficial and unadvertised patch for M2TW

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.

Interesting idea. I tried LTC and was able to play almost twice as many turns before giving up so I think it was a pretty good try.

Here's the point that so many here dont seem to comprehend, SEGA owns CA. They bought it. Everyone who works for CA works for SEGA.

Short answer: No
Long Answer: Yes I believe a lot of mods are better then Vanilla. Try them out and enjoy them. Don't expect CA to comment on them though (apart from the good old "yeh we like playing a couple of mods" without stating an names). If your wondering about when a dev has ever accepted an unofficial patch check this out. The devs praised this unofficial patch of AOW:SM... however a large mod like LTC I doubt will be regarded as so... especially when the situation is quite rare.

With Lusted and Jason's work on it, it's closer than most to the 'unofficial' vision of what M2TW should be, yes.

LTC is a pretty good mod. I play it when ever I play M2TW.

The mod contains a few good changes. I personally like the projectile changes however to suggest it as an unofficial patch is stretching it a bit far. Even though it contains some fixes most changes are infact preferential and won't suit all players!
