Moddable campaign map?!?

[G-Spike]

So at one of this E3 interviews ive heard that the campaign is now generated with the same enginge that is used for battles. Since we had that map editor for shogun II it doesnt sound too far fetched that you could use it to create your own campaign map for mods.
Assuming that CA will provide map editing tools for rome II it doesnt look like a huge leap to use it for campaign maps.

Its still unlikely but i was just wondering, why would you use the same engine? it has been a huge downside of total war games since empire that you cant mod campaign maps. With the mod summits i hope that modders emphasized that and CA was listening.

Still speculation, but it does make sense in my head. Ofc they could still use the same engine and not do anything for modding with it^^

I know ive heard it in an interview but i failed to find it again. but this guy got that too somewhere, so i didnt hallucinate.

yes it might make it easier to mod than in shogun 2, but its really way too early to tell.. i think we can expect the same support as in shogun2... so we shall have to wait and see what goodies we get

having a single engine do everything certainly is a lot simpler from a work standpoint, the battle engine is certainly capable of generating a campaign map, has been for a long time tbh

and its not that the campaign maps weren't moddable, it was just more difficult to make them given that the engines and methods of working with them change

perhaps this will simplify things a bit and make it easier for modders but a campaign map with all the aspects such as borders, settlements etc, is somewhat more complex to begin with anyway, will have to wait for the game release so people can get digging

If you're correct, then I certainly look forward to the first mod that creates the whole of Eurasia, or even the world. Although the lack of a "rebel" nation might make this difficult.

I don't know the details but a certain few members have made great progress on the newer games.

You're partially wrong. Using CA's tools you can only make a flat land. If you want your map to have any details, you have to use a tool created by a community member named Crux3D.

Which interview ?

To mod the map, you'll need 3dsmax in order to do so. You'll have to learn a new set of tools.
