CA hate mods!

**Arist** · April 11, 2011, 03:07 AM

Sorry to dissapoint all your petitions over last 5 years but the reason is simply that... CA hate them!

All of CA's works are complete and badass ones, it got a strong sense of integrity, each work was a deep-packed intentions and tended to model the battlefield as vibrantly as possible, that's the very basis of the series!

So it's not that CA doesn't benefit from the mods (they don't even care the hell about money, their works are artistic! Made just for enjoyment and sympathy), but it hurts to see their beautiful works ramped up by you guys

that's why they slashed the support for mods

That's why you guys will never get reply from them too

So the reason you mod is because you can't understand the spirit that CA integrated into each of their artwork

the delicate feeling in Shogun, the Latin high culture in Rome, the dark medieval in Medieval, and the premodern europe in Empire

after creating such a vibrant image of the whole era of history, the spirit is tainted by your modifications! Isn't that irritating! Think about it!

And that's why CA hate mods, but they're beautifully-driven, that's why they're badass guys who just be indifferent with whatever your feedbacks

That's so sad

...What on earth are you trying to say? I'm getting some weird mixed messages...

**delmat** · April 11, 2011, 03:27 AM

yeah..if you are being sarcastic that's cool but I'm not really sure..

Ummm, call me thick or something but silly ‘ol me thinks that my work are pretty artistic (and others work as well)… Sometimes I actually feel that it outright kicks the crap out of the ‘ol CA-stuff. However, all this is of course always open for debate…

A sample of my shameful work… For reference…

DLC... DLC... and dat stupid DLC...

**Blatta Optima Maxima** · April 11, 2011, 06:26 AM

Ofcourse they do - if people learn to mod, per say, Shogun II as extensively as Rome, who would by new games or DLC?

I see, so what department of CA do you work in?

When did CA ever support mods?

**caravel** · April 11, 2011, 08:47 AM

CA have never supported modding or provided any tools for this - so it's nothing new. People had to work this out for themselves and design tools for TW games from day one.

I doubt it's because they object to having their works exposed to being "butchered" (having poor quality amateurish cobbled together graphics added, etc) but because it obviously makes no commercial sense to do so and does not fit with their business model.

When it comes to modding, some game developers embrace it and others don't, CA are just one of those that don't.

I cant understand why they hate mods. They expand their profits with mods. Look at par example the Lord of the Rings Mods. People who like it, are willing to buy medieval 2 or Rome just for playing that mod.

erm no, CA employes like JL even help make mods themselves.

hmm? I think your wwaayyy over romanticising this, they just make a game.

So it's not that CA doesn't benefit from the mods (they don't even care the hell about money, their works are artistic!

do you honestly believe that or are you just trolling really badly? Of course some people want the money, CA isnt one person or something so sweeping generalizations arent going to make anyone agree with you.

And why would it hurt if someone makes the game a bit different? Modders work to make the game even better, their not driven by some kind of extreme hatred like you seem to think. no one cares uf nodders cange the game anyways, these are mass market games, designed to be appealing to everyone yet not a niche game (as in, nothing in depth, it has everything but its shallow), if someone wants to make the game a bit more inclusive of what they want, they buy the game, and change it a bit, everyones happy.

So the reason you mod is because you can't understand the spirit that CA integrated into each of their artwork the delicate feeling in Shogun, the Latin high culture in Rome, the dark medieval in Medieval, and the premodern europe in Empire after creating such a vibrant image of the whole era of history, the spirit is tainted by your modifications!

Wtf is this rambling, of course the artists put effort into their work but if they didnt then they would get fired, same with any job. It dosent mean they cant sleep at night because someone prefered units less glosy, or different colors to be used, or a unit was left out, etc.

And i dont know what you meant by a "vibrant image of the era", its just some stylized art, yea it looks nice but no ones going to go home feeling a sense of accomplishment for every single thing they did.

And that's why CA hate mods, but they're beautifully-driven, that's why they're badass guys who just be indifferent with whatever your feedbacks

That's so sad

whats sad would be if you actually believed that, CA is driven by money, there may be a few workers who would work without pay because they love to do what they do, but if CA stops paying employes, guess what series wont be continuing? CA does not hate mods but you are correct in that they are indifferent. They arent being indifferent to save their preccious art work or ambiance or whatever, they just dont care.
