? We have the means of adding new models, as demonstrated by kundfuserge, and now the campaign map is editable. Its a slow tedious process but if you look in the mod workshops a map of Europe is being created. Animations would be an issue but we haven't changed those since the beginning We can now make a mods to the level of med 2, it just takes time and inspiration. Currently we don't have someone who is willing to put together any huge projects but in 7 years i grantee we will have a huge selection of huge mods like med 2 and Rome.
I personally enjoyed shogun. What things that got worse over the years that made the game less enjoyable? The trade ship thing has been happening since Rome as you could block a port with one ship that's down to the last man.
