    Default Why did you change the name of this mod?

    Rage of Dark Gods. Battle for the Empire Total War

    This is the new name for your mod.What was wrong with the old name?Your new name does not really remind warhammer at first.It may be a turn-off for people that don't know this mod too.Call of Warhammer says that this is a mod about warhammer.But the new name does not show anything.

    That seems ridiculous.Would not copyright laws extend to everything in this mod?Does it only affect the name?

    Games Workshop usually does everything wrong in the online world...
    Like back then when Blizzard wanted to make an online RPG together with them... they refused to cooperate. So Blizzard made WoW...

    im surprised they are still not fired yet, they have a notorious reputation of bieng little when it comes to cooperation and dealing with their fans or other companies.
    WoW was a perfect example.

    The name, in this case it isn't so much the content as it is the trademark. By using the name the creators of this mod are seen to be trading off of that name, to generate what magical profits I don't know, but there you have it.
