Unit editor out yet?

Says there's one on the box I got here. The hardcopy I bought. 2 Years ago? What's the word.

You can edit units with PFM (look it workshop).
But it's a little tedious

Which translates to - there is no unit editor as advertised on the game case, was never released and never will be.

Good thing Shogun2 has so much unit diversity!

Good thing (for CA) that none of the people who bought NTW are pissed off enough to hire a lawyer over this blatant act of false advertising.

some have tried and settled out of court. i suggest more people do the same and complete deplete them of their ill gotten gains.

the most effective way is a class action lawsuit. this way they can't just settle with easy sums of a few hundred. after all, lawyer expenses would already exceed that

I would settle with a better map for NTW.

Mmmm, a release of a unit editor...

woooooo, something just flew past my window....

Holy it's an elephant with wings!

Yea "false advertising" is the word right there.......unbelievable.

I have the Imperial Edition version, in a box. I don't see any mention of a unit editor on it.

Me to I don't believe it is on the box

No, it's not on the box but ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon:_Total_War

One of the features advertised for Napoleon was a uniform editor. Upon release CA announced that the uniform editor would be delayed; while it was not advertised "on the box", it was advertised as a feature by all online retailers (including Steam) and the official game website. Five months after Napoleon: Total War's release, mention of the uniform editor was removed from the game's list of features on its official website; it is, however, still being advertised on most online retailers selling the game. Almost eight months after the game's release, Mike Simpson stated that the original uniform editor was never meant for public use, and that CA was making a unit editor capable of both editing and creating new units. This new unit editor was scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2011.[16] To date no further reference to the uniform editor has been made and it is now seen by fans to be unlikely released in the future.

can you provide something else than a wikipedia article? An official link where it says there is an unit editor?

I never said that there was a unit editor. I believe the whole point of this thread is that there isn't one.

When you visit this link read and scroll down to "Cutting-edge multiplayer"..........this was on the package. I remembered seeing this after I threw the box away.And the unit editor thing was the only reason why I bought the game. But later I read that they excused the unit editor because of something like it only edited the colors of a unit, I dunno I just came across that from some random site,I have no idea how true that is but I'm just glad we can mod this awesome half ass game given the tools from the contributors here,all is appreciated,sorry Steph I'm not trying to prove you wrong on any personal level,I just thought I'd share what I remembered seeing on the package. http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/...edition/473541

Ok, thanks for the link.

But well, since we can already do with PFM our own uniforms, I don't think this lacking unit editor is that important.

I'd much rather see a map editor!

If it's a uniform editor, then it should include putting together different parts of uniforms into one for your new unit, with an Austrian torso, Ottoman trousers, beards, etc, etc.

Too bad CA removed this from their to-do list, I need an easy-working uniform editor to make a mod I'm planning

Doing it with PFM isn't that difficult

True

Well, you can't add a uniform part from another faction to another (at least that's what I've heard).
