CA - my thanks

Thanks to CA for releasing a changelog with the latest patch - it really helps modders out quite a bit more than some would think. If you do nothing else, at least give us changelogs with any more patches
And good work on the new campaign - it's quite an improvement on the "expansion" you called Warpath.


Now stop skulking round here Mr. Lusted and get us some more free dlc

I am especially happy with the change of the portret of Napoleon in the campaign.
That was one big mistake in a game with his name.
Well done CA

Warpath wasn't bad at all. It added 5 new factions (they were all generic and identical before), a whole new tech tree, new buildings, new agents, expanded map, different starting time, unique units and ofcourse a new culture that plays very differently. It does what it says on the tin and if native warfare isn't your thing then don't buy it but no need to bash it. It would have been great if it was implemented into the Grand Campaign but what can you do, The Peninsular campaign doesn't add to the grand campaign either.

I hereby agree to all of the above totally i must say !

Credit where credits due;Thanks CA !

And now get on with finishing Shogun II please mateys !!!!!

Regards

Well, if there would be no changelog we could always open the patch.pack of the patch - in this case it's the patch4.pack - with the PackFileManager and export the file structure via the "Export File List" function.

Yes, but Warpath was nothing like the expansions seen before (not that this is, but it adds quite a few new features)

Of course, but it has pained me many times when I know table X has changed, but not what has changed in table X

I wouldn't consider either of these as an expansion proper, but as a dlc. The real expansion for ETW was NTW, and imo it was one of the biggest expansions in TW, rivalling barbarian invasion. (Even taking into account that it was standalone)

btw, there's a changelog on steam, but i'm not sure how specific it is

Poor Belgium… France, Netherlands, or Russia with wrong colours and everyone would have been up in arms from day 1. Maybe because Belgium's emergent, there were fewer eyeballs to spot this.

Can we get the colour blue back?
also does anyone notice werid unit movements on the main campagin map?

I like this thread because i think is good to show CA we´re impartials and we can congratulate the good work as we can criticize the bad one.That gives to us power of reason.
+1 rep to TopCat

Very nice improvements !!!
