    Re: Troy to be EPIC store exclusive for 1 year

    I suspect the game will have such a small playerbase (initially) there simply wont be a market for many mods. With TWC being desolate i'm anticipating a handful of mods scattered around the Nexus and...

    Re: Troy to be EPIC store exclusive for 1 year

    Absolute travesty, I'm guessing they had so little faith in the game they felt it was ok to whore themselves out to Epic for a year. Going to be a self fulfilling prophecy if this bombs like...
  3. Poll: Re: What is your favourite type of mod across the Total War series?

    Divide Et Impera for Rome II unequivocally qualifies as a complete overhaul mod but I will admit they are few and far between compared to the plethora of overhauls for Medieval 2 for example.
  4. Re: New Historical total war era - Total War: Three Kingdoms!

    After Jeff Van Dycks great work on Shogun 2 i'd hope he'd be making a return with Three Kingdoms. That will not be the case unfortunately.
  5. Re: Total War: Three Kingdoms Announced - CA's Next Historical Title

    Assuming modding isn't even more restrictive then it is now there would likely be a "Divide Et Impera" style mod for the game that would take away alot of the nonsense and appeal to people that wish...

    Jeff returning to Total war would be reason alone to purchase this title. His work on Shogun 2 was fantastic.

  9. Re: Total War: Three Kingdoms Announced - CA's Next Historical Title

    Was hoping for something like a Victorian Total war. This will likely suffer the same issues as Shogun with a lack of unit/cultural diversity resulting in increasingly boring campaigns.
  10. Re: Wood Elf Factions AI not working properly in Mortal Empires?

    Its possibly due to CA tweaking them to make them less aggressive. In Warhammer 1 they would attack everyone in all directions at once and occupy half the map by turn 50 in nearly every campaign.

    Be prepared for it to be a Windows store exclusive title. Relic has a fairly good track record however I hope the quality is more in line with Company of Heroes 1 rather then their more recent titles.
