Time for me to bow out.......

[ImKyleJames]

Aww... what will we do without our hero?!

[Nevada]

I'm sad to read this retirement but I wish you the best for the future, especially for your private life (which i think will be better now, as you'll have more time now, as you made your hobby to your job).
I'm surethat your work for CA will make better EMPIRE TW.

Thanks for allthe great LTC versions!

[acel337]

Thanks for everything you've done and good luck in your future endeavours.

Take care Lusted.

[Candelarius]

Hmph, this is a surprising and sad turn of events. Are you sure Lusted? I know you're busy with your new job, but, I'm sure I'm speaking for us all when I say we'd hate to see you leave the modding scene completely...

[Lusted]

I'm sure, i'm finished with modding.

[0101001]

I barely knew you but I could scarcely navigate TWC without hearing your name. And even though we've never even talked to each other I'm still sad you are leaving. And I can easily say that you are going to be leaving one giant gap in the modding community that will be hard to fill.

Good Luck at CA and make us mod players proud by making Empires Vanilla more like your mods.

[Internazionale]

Yeah, its time for you to move on.
You got a good job at CA and by leaving us you will have more time to work at E:TW.

Bye Lusted! Your work is appreciated here!

[Gary88]

i can still remember how i felt when i loaded up TE for the first time, my first and still favourite mod. my thanks for all your work for all my fun.

[Tony83]

I can well understand that when your hobby becomes your job that it's maybe time to get a new hobby!

LTC is still one of my favourite M2 mods, which I'm sure will help keep me happy until ETW hits the shelves.

Good luck to you matey.

[Grakl]

Thanks for all the hard work Lusted. I really enjoying playing LTC. I finally broke down and bought Kingdoms to see the latest editions of the best mods. Good luck in whatever you do.

[Murfios]

I never actually met you, never shared a word with you but I must say that you were a pillar of modding. And an example to follow.

Good Luck

[Covak]

Thanks so much for LtC, Lusted! I was disappointed with vanilla M2TW, but LtC transforms the game into exactly what I was hoping for. Many, many hours of good times thanks to you!

[Sarmatian]

First Darth and now this. Well, I hope that the younger generations of modders will be able to measure up. Thanks for everything you've done for the community and good luck at CA.

[Oswald von Wolkenstein]

Good Luck, salute and three cheers with hearty thank you for all you've done!

How about making an AI patch for M2TW. Imagine what you could do working in the code itself with no restrictions.

If not, ensure that the next game's AI is improved to atleast mediocre. Can you promise me that?

Best of luck.

[Lusted]

How about making an AI patch for M2TW. Imagine what you could do working in the code itself with no restrictions.

That'd be a disaster, not an improvement. I'm not a programmer, and letting me loose on complicated C++ code without any prior understanding would be a sure fire way to break the game.

[GrandViZ]

Hi Lusted,

thank you very much for all your efforts and contributions and good luck for the future.

Farewell!

[Nelduin]

Thanks for your great work Lusted. We hope all one day you'll come back to make a mod on Empire...

[Sureño]

Thanks for all the hard work Lusted, you've done quite a lot of sacrificing for the community in modding. You're an icon Lusted!

[twp127]

Thank you very much for all of your efforts! I really enjoyed trying out and playing your modifications.
You have been a GREAT addition to the total war community.

So farewell and have a great journey the rest of your life!
