"Many players interested in historical games want the game to support modding natively, i.e. without need to hack resource files or other unneccessary obstacles. We are pleased to announce that Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades will let you make the game a turn-based strategy with hot-seat multiplayer if you want to, since it will be shipped with full-blown editor used by developers themselves.
GUI, game mechanics, AI, resources and map generator settings - all script components of the game are stored in XML and AIX files for the ease of editing so that the players can do anything they want. For example, if you want to create a new unique unit, you’ll need only to repaint existing soldier textures because there are tons of existing 3D models for heads, helmets, shields of various types and so on. There are plenty of existing animations as well, enough for most warriors who walked the Earth (excluding exotic ones like samurai or indians maybe). If this is not enough, developers promise to provide full toolkit for converting models and animations created in a third-party 3D editor.
Strategic map can be also changed as you want for your project which opens almost endless possibilities for creative minds.
Creators of “Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades” want to give those who like to tinker with the game and not just complete it all neccessary tools to create something new - be it a new content for the vanilla game or even a completely different experience.
