Any New Patches Soon?

[Crell]

Do I have been playing and its still quite buggy in regards to the CTD at the end of a turn and a few other minor annoyances. So was wondering if there are any more patches coming because from what I can see there has been nothing for a year now? Is the support and bug fixing done now so the mod is how it will always be?

[AllianceDeath]

There is Skaven in the works, I'd imagine not tooooo far off.

[Reiksfart]

Big yearly patch is still being worked on. It's actually a little late compared to the usual main update every new year, but goes to show the amount of work going into it before they release.

[GreatSword]

That could take years though... and these mods are constantly improving and submods are being made.... I will still play all of these mods for kingdoms even if they put the new game out, and then there is the high possibility it may not even be better than these lol

There was athread about this, but anyway:

I highly doubt we will get a offical WH-TW game anytime soon if one would emerge. It was pointed out by CA-member here at TWC that the TW-team is not currently working with the license, and by the announcement there is a new team established to work with the WH-IP. Hopefully we will get one in the future tought.

"A new high-calibre development team has been set up at Creative Assembly’s UK studio to work alongside the existing Total War, Alien™ IP and Mobile teams on the first Warhammer title in the deal, scheduled to launch from beyond 2013."
"This first Warhammer game joins the eagerly-awaited Total War™: Rome II and the untitled Alien IP as one of five projects currently in production at Creative Assembly, now one of the largest developers in Europe."

Games Workshop has an IP Policy which explains what you can and cannot do with Games Workshop's Intellectual Property (IP). You can read this policy at http://legal.games-workshop.com. We are in the process of updating this policy to make it clear we do not give permission for mods.

As you may be aware, Games Workshop has recently announced it has entered a licensing agreement with The Creative Assembly to produce games in the Warhammer setting. Games Workshop does not give permission for mods to be made using its intellectual property.

Soon it could be private usage only and sharing outside of any forums.

Do you have a source to that quote?

They can take that "made clear we don't give permission for mods." and shove it up whenever they want to. That's ridiculous, it's not like you people are making money out of this, and in fact it serves as good publicity and the chance of people getting into TT after playing the mod.... what a sleazes...

[Reiksfart]

Do you have a source to that quote?

Games Workshop legal department itself. That is just an except from a longer e-mail.

Earlier they had policy that WH stuff was free to use for full conversion mods, I think they even encoureged such activity. Only thing GW requested CoW to change was its name, since they won't allow the usage of "Warhammer" in content that aren't from them. Since the name of Rage of Dark Gods.

If they change theyr policy like that, I don't think they will hunt down old content that have been produced, more likelly to shoot down possible new mods... I don't know, either way I think it would be dumb desicion from them. Every mod actually strenghtens theyr IP's, and it is beneficial to them in many ways... Same thing WB should realize (Shooting down MERP, you bastards!), same people who play the LOTR mods and such, will buy other products of it too, watch the movies, buy games, and etc, etc...

Those double/triple posts have happened a lot latelly, lag or something..

[Lord Baal]

They emailed you? Why lawyers feel compelled to destroy things they don't even care to know well about?

[Aymarr]

I think sooner then everyone especting,
CoW team started beta testing for 1.6 patch
But I doubt theyll have Bretonia and skavens in new patch
At this link you can sign up for beta testing- http://empiretw.ru/board/index.php?showtopic=39716
if you speak russian....

[b3r1adan]

bigbay - Кхемри и Сильвания. So this guy is testing Skavens and if I'm not mistaken (not so familiar with lore) Tomb Kings.

[b3r1adan]

Sorry for double post, can't edit. . .
Степан - Норска. Not sure, but this guy is testing Norse, though there are other who test igacool - Стирланд, Слаанешь. (Slaanesh), KissMeDolly - Кхорн и Порубежные Княжества. (Khorne) and Nurgle and Tzeench are still free. That means, maybe they're adding some more Norse land and tribes. Dunno.

[Aymarr]

He he I am soooo sorry! I was really sleepy when I was reading beta testing page what I missed Skavens They are in 1.6 As well Khemri (Tomb Kings) but,
but,
but,
no Bretonia Most espected faction... (for me at least, Im wating for Bretonia seems 1.44)

[Lord Baal]

Uh, oh... new patch already?! Darn, I just finished up a mod for 1.5.1....

Hehehe, anyway, I hope it get out soon.

[Aymarr]

Nice! Can we have it?

[Lord Baal]

What the mod or the patch? The mod is already on the sub mods section, its called kickstart. The patch well, that's up to our russian friends.

[Phalanx300]

Personally I think that the Night Goblins should be playable in the campaign as well, same with the Beastmen. Seeing how they already are existing factions. Maybe Marienburg as a new faction would also be nice.

[Lord Baal]

That's actually one of the things I'm gonna experiment with next on my sub mod.

[Aymarr]

100% agree about Night Goblins, but not about Beastmen...
They would get reinforcements every turn all over the map, full stacks... Nah I would elimenate all 21 faction in about 40-50 turns
And if you make Marienburg a faction youll loose best money making city in game, in every campaign its a challange for me to get Marienburg asap...
Plus youll leave campaign without last decent rebel city

Im for Skavens to be spawned same way as Beastmen, will give bigger variety in enemies (im a bit tired from fighting all the same armies of beastmen), also it would be lore friendly, because you cant make an Empire-under-Empire... Or whatever their homeland called.
Also they should add Forest Elves, prohibiten forest done seems first release but still empty and unplayeble...
As well there is enought space to add one of the Bretonian lords, dont know about Bretonia much, but Im sure they should have some counties as well as empire
