TEd battle map editor announced (.pdf documentation in OP)

Well, for one thing, Empire is STILL selling strong.


And yes, they SHOULD continue to work on their past titles. Empire is still broken. Try getting Light Infantry to stop shooting... And that's just one example.

Ca have said in the past that they might go back and retro-fix Empire.

Truth is. Empire has been short-changed from what it should be and FOTS has shown what it CAN be. It is like art left 50% done and so remains incomplete and rubbish, but its potential is there. If Empire is still selling well then they should GO BACK and retro fix it so it can be seen in its FULLNESS.

Y`know The Witcher 2 people have enhanced their game and are reselling it. Original buyers get the update free. Perhaps CA can complete Empire and resell it properly and honestly (with the update free to us who already have it). Still with DRM choices I might add (I love those Devs).

Complete your work, CA.

p.s. Oh and while you`re at it fix the sieges so 18th century troops don`t monkey climb the walls. Create entrance through walls and enter or\and give them ladders. Easy. Your warscape can do it. Thankyou.

Since you mention fix, is this a solution to a game-play issue you've been having? Forgive my not being well versed in the history of the Boshin War, but I wasn't aware of the use of ladders, a point no doubt stemming from the fact there doesn't seem to be any significant sieges throughout the war .

I`ll forgive you not reading my post in context and your thinly veiled sarcasm. I`m talking about retrofitting and patching Empire in this case.

I see! Clearly, sleep beckons me .

...and the unquoted parts are completely unnecessary.

I don't know why so many people poo-poo ETW, it was and still is a great game. Yes it had samey units and little strategic terrain .. BUT had many countries, many nations! ALL continents! to sail to, set up trade links, conquer etc. Pity the English parliment and elections did little. Having the Wigs in power should have stopped military spending?

Maybe if we can get proper tools for all aspects of future TW games, then gamers can fix the bugs and add new features .. keep costs down and keep SEGA happy?

No, Empire is a FUN game, it is not a good game. It's a damn fine beta, though.

NO, its a GOOD game. Thank you for your time.

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

You misunderstand. I like Empire, but in order for it to be "Good", it would have to be complete.

Shogun 2 is a good game. I haven't had as much fun with it as I have Empire, but Shogun 2 is easily the better game.

Empire is not a good game. It's got bugs and glitches out the Yin-Yang, and is nearly unplayable without mods. It's just not a quality, finished product. It's fun to play, but it's by no means a "Good" game.

Yeah, I agree with you Humble. Empire deserves the improvements of NTW and STW2. That would be a good support from CA/SEGA to theire customers. I would appreciate it very much.

[Humble Warrior]

Thanks, Top hat and Antalis. There`s plenty in Empire except just about all of it does not work how it should. It`s like a cake with all the ingredients just thrown together and baked without anyone bothering to make sure it actually tasted as it should before serving.

@Anton III: I mistook your wording for a veiled sarcasm. I apologise for any misunderstanding.

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

Right. It's still a tasty cake, and there sure is a LOT of it, but the after taste is just a bit.... Off.

[dmcheatw]

well done CA.

[debux]

I must say, when I first read the thread title, my hopes flared up with the hope that CA had fulfilled the promise of improving ETW/NTW... or at least, get it near the level or completeness like S2TW. OR some kind of mod tools. I was disappointed to not see that it was either, but thanks CA nonetheless for not forgetting the community!

[Swerg]

For those who want a glimpse of what Empire COULD have been, I suggest trying out Imperial Splendour. It puts Darthmod to shame in terms of sheer fun and adds proper unit variety and faction balance, instead of CA's "DERP DERP UK IS ALWAYS DA BEST AT EVERYFING OLOLOL"

Does DarthMod fix English Elections so a change of government actuallly does something?

[Ferdiad]

That question would be better answered in the Darthmod forum.

[bbad89]

Now if only we can get back the superior graphics of pre-FOTS times...

[Blatta Optima Maxima]

Now all we need is a campaign map editor, and good-bye, CA - for we can make everything then.

[Ferdiad]

Warscape modders can't mod all the stuff they need to make a total conversion even with those 2 editors.

[99Androidguy777]

Some smart modder will make new battle maps and figer out how to add them into the campaign map , it is just a matter of time.
will we be able to add new textures to the editors brushes ?
will we be able to make navel battle maps ?
