Mod Tools for NTW/ETW

Once CA has released the Peninsular DLC and they announce their new title, do you think they will release mod tools for the NTW/ETW engine??

i hope so
im ready for some creme de la creme mods

Next game will use same engine, maybe we will have to wait for mod tools after it!

Well, it willl be the difference between RTW and M2TW. While they were based on the same engine, they were completely different at the same time.

I doubt it, despite a 59 page petition for modding tools, it appears that CA still hasn't given any notion that they care ; )

I was unaware of what I voted...

I was busy looking at Lucy Pinder.. I'm willing to admit.

you have about as much chance, as a fart in a hurricane,, of getting modding tools from ca

People cannot fart in a hurricane?

Wow..

On topic: It matters little now if we get tools or not. It has become apparant many things are possible without tools, tools will only mean more people throwing out hundereds of mods.

Well I voted yes...because the unit editor is kind of a mod tool depending on what we can do with it.

But as for anything else, NO

That is very true, and I think CA will release the editor around the same time they release the Peninsular Campaign.

There won't be a unit editor, it is called an uniform editor. It will probably be nothing more than a tool for painting units, that's it. Can't believe people are STILL thinking it will be some uber modding tool.

And i voted no btw, i lost faith in CA releasing mod tools long ago.

a shame its only portugal, spain, england and france who gets new units

There was a similar thread and I answered as 'no', therefore I remain consequent with my choice here, too.

CA, we are done with ETW/NTW business now, don't disappoint me with your further installments.

Thank you.

last i heard mod tools dont exist.

for me? no!

Lol, I don't think they'll release mod tools for this engine

You should have titled the poll: Should they release teh tools?

That way nobody would vote No

At this point I don't think any serious modders care about modding ETW or NTW. With the new TW game around the corner it would be a waste to make mod tools for anything but the new game. Even if the mod community was to get mod tools today it would be a good 1-2 years before any major revamps would be completed. Mod tools need to be released when the game is released or shortly after the game is released if CA wants to support the mod community (Shortly as in 1-2 months tops). Unfortunately CA gave the mod community the middle finger with ETW and NTW and damn near killed it off. This is unacceptable and will hurt the TW series in the long run if they continue this doctrine.

these are pretty much my thoughts exactly. + rep to you.
Its a shame that they don't release the tools, because even without them the modders have created some truely wonderful mods.
I would love to see what could be done with the level of support given to modders in games like Civ IV.

CA has taken a new direction,

instead of allowing greater customisation for the player byallowing us to add our own new units, they are now adding themselves and charging for it as dlc.
This is a new source of revenue for CA. Until people stop buying DLC don't expect it o change.

dont expect tools for future games either.
