i have a suggestion

**ash874** · January 16, 2011, 07:16 AM

apparently most of us here dont play the newer total war games
i for one own both newer games napoleon and another one i dont remember the name even
all that musketeer battling is boring to me

but still they came up with something very important there: a technology tree
maybe you modders out there can use the platforms of the newer tw games to make a new mod

this isnt realy very needed, because there wasnt realy much technological advances in the medieval times. but still its your thought

There's a very good reason why M2TW is the most modded game: the newer games are much much much less moddable. Plus trying to make a medieval mod for Empire or Napoleon would be a ginormagantuan task because you'd have to remake all animations amongst other things.

i just guessed that ginormagantuan tasks is something you guys welcome
or else why you would be doing this in the first place
spending your time building these new settlements for ss just seems like a waste of time to me
most of the players have been playing so long that it wont change the game for them after the first couple of times
of course i might be wrong

We as a team work on something if the majority agrees, firstly the players and secondly the mod team.
About new battle settlements you should go in TATW forums and see KK's work & read the player's comments first before you make a comment whether it's worth it or not.

And i still think fantasy oriented players are much less compared to medieval theme based players so if it's introduced in SS it will make a huge difference.
I say this from 3 year forum experience.

btw you should also check out wilddog's PKH mod(under development) the guy who started all this madness.

A mod like this doesn't come out of nowhere. It has evolved and developed over years with individual contributions and add-ons that have allowed people to gradually play and enjoy and then contribute back into the project with their own small ideas and projects.

Considering Medieval 2 provided the proper era for the mod, the barrier to entry in the amount of work required to present something playable is much lower than if it were started from a different genre. Total conversion mods require a ton of dedication and support to build than native environment mods.

There is already a technology tree in MTW2 - in the form of the construction options..

Re O/P idea of a tech tree - we did discuss this a couple of years back - in the context of ideas from Civilisation games IIRC.

The idea is do-able and a form of framework was worked out but the ideas never got beyond discussion stage, people moved on to other projects
and the idea was left as a "nice idea". There was also concern that the AI, not being programmed to consider it, would not be able to handle it properly.

Many things can be do but the question reside: "Are the AI can deal with that"?
