MTW Platinum?

[ULC]

Stupid, foolish, thick headed idea considering how CA is acting right now, but I can't help myself.

I am wondering what many of you would think of another patch to MTW that takes care of some features, such as -

1. Fix GA goals and add some new ones to Factions lacking in them (I.E. Byzantines)

2. Adds the ability to customize GA goals, for existing and custom factions

3. Takes care of Sea Battles (No more 1 beats 10!)

4. Adds in culture as a factor in unit recruitment

5. Removes Province and Sea Zone limit

6. Fixs the Faction Shield bug

7. Allows the ability to add/remove/modify events

8. Allows for slighter greater depth in Diplomacy (Add the ability to give florins to secure loyalty, ask for military access - hey, its in there, a.k.a. Crusades, Jihads)

9. Fixs the inheritance for marrying into an another factions royal family and succession (allows those actually married into the royal family inside your faction to ascend to the throne, a good example would be the English - I think)

10. Makes traits make more sense(Hereditary, also no "Fanatic Humanists") and adds the ability to add/remove/modifiy them

11. Tiers for unit Upgrades (no more peasants with full plate and Toledo Pitchforks)

12. Fixs the A.I.s usage of agents so it uses them more intelligently AND like its supposed too.

13. Horse Archers shoot even while moving (Minor, but would still like)

14. Adds the "Jewish" and "Heretic" cultures, and adds A.I. for them and a few more for "Pagan"

15. Ability to "convert" factions, like you could FN_07, and possibly add features to them

Possibly more if anyone has suggestions. I know this thread kind of lacks a purpose, but I just had to get it out.

Nice dream. I f it came true, it would for RTW and MINO (Medieval-in-Name-Only) too. Then CA would be what it should be and we all happy. However, they're leaving even their most recent release (Kingdoms) unpatched and malware-infested.

Still, I haven't lost faith in CA completely. There's a chance, be it lower than 1%, that they choose to support their half-finished/buggy games and try the upcoming ones more thoroughly for problems. Then, I'll become an unconditional and even more loyal fan, promise.

Hey, never even thought it would come true. As it seems though, CA is driving its customers further and further back along their line of games from the recent releases, with most ending up at MTW . If this is intentional, then they should support it with a new patch . I doubt it, makes little business sense, but the fact that people are saying that a PREVIOUS game has better playability is sad. I thought that each generation of games was supposed to be an improvement on the PREVIOUS one, but it seems to the opposite . I think a good strategy would be to release a patch to ALL their games to fix those final bugs and initiate a program of patching games continuosly (Blizzard). This would restore their credibility and increase sales, with the fans knowing that they have adequate support. I am half tempted to email them the above list (which is rather short compared to RTW/M2TW).

... Are you learking anywhere nearby CA reps ?? Do the right thing fellas release a patch and make the best game you have created so far even better !! I agree with you all the way YLC .. and perhaps on #13 horse archer units that were able actually perform cantabrian circles be made to do so in the animation portion of the engine when opened up and on and on ..etc etc

Short of a full construction set/random map generator which would undoubtedly mean a re-write of big parts of the game, I'd like to see a big expansion in diplomacy, factions being able to work together to coordinate attacks, being able to give (or sell) and receive money, units and even provinces.

MTW is a fantastic game, but we all know that a few areas could be radically improved, especially support for modding.

Open source MTW....


I don't know about others but I wold be willing to pay upwards of £50.00 for such a thing....


Ah well, maybe in a few years time...

Once a computer cabale of running it is unobtainable....
