It has been about 1,5 year before, when I announced my retirement from Total War modding.

Today 12/2/2014 we begun our Steam Greenlight Campaign!

Hoping that you still enjoy my mods and remember my work, I will need your help to get the game to Steam and open the door for its finalization.

Old info about retirement and my new game

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

DarthMod fans and friends, moderators and owners of TWCenter, my fellow co-modders and collaborators.
I want with this message to say my huge thanks for the amazing interaction and cooperation we had all these 9 years.
Without you I would have never achieved this mod, I would have never be able to offer you my gameplay tweaks, I would have never had this wonderful and creative hobby.
It is now a fact that I will no longer be able to mod Total War games because I have started to make my own strategy game.
On 1/7/2013 I announced Ultimate General: Gettysburg in DarthMod fan page.

You can read the first info about it in Kotaku, PCGamer, Rockpapershotgun and several other game news sites (Google to find more).
In future it will be very hard to to reply to your requests about DarthMods because it is literally impossible to handle all this.
All my mods will be available for you to enjoy for ever and I promise that I will try to support them from time to time, if it is needed.
You can find download links and help in the below subforums of TWCenter:

• DarthMod: Shogun II
  
• DarthMod Napoleon
  
• DarthMod Empire
  
• DarthMod for M2TW
  
• DarthMod for RTW
  

I have written a synopsis of my modding work here:= http://www.ultimategeneral.com/blog/my-modding-work in case you want to know more about it.
It has been a fantastic experience not only because of all the interaction we had...
...but because of Creative Assembly that has allowed me and all other modders to "tweak" their Total War games.
So a big thanks to Creative Assembly too.
From now on I must allocate my full energy to the game I design.
I hope you follow my new project.
See you there!

Thank you Darth Vader for improving and providing great experiences to all total war players!
And thank you to all the other modders too!

I wish you the best of luck on your new adventure! I am definately going to check it out!

[Kraut]

Thank you for all your great work, and all the best wishes for the future!

[Krieglord]

Thankyou for the year's of hard work for nothing but our appreciation and joy, I am sure your game will do well as it certainly has a built in audience.

[Bran Mac Born]

Darth I am sure that you will be back for Rome 2. Good luck on your new project.

[Mary The Quene]

Thanks for everything!

[2gutter67]

Thank you tons for all of your great mods of the years. Without them many of the games would be sitting around on my shelves gathering dust, instead of being brought out every now and again for some good times. Good luck on the game!!

[Ziem]

Thanks for everything Darth and good luck with your new adventure. Will be waiting impatiently for the releasedate of your new game!

Thanks Darthy, i always saw you as a Q.Tarrantino of the TW Modding Genre
Thanks a million Buddy and Good Luck + see you around

[jazza]

thanks for every thing hope the best for u

[Hannarr]

I've probably played Darthmods more than any other mod or vanilla TW. they have always been of high quality and streamlined simplicity. Its good to hear you're working on a new project, i'll keep an eye on it.

Why an American civil war game? and you you have an idea of which year it will be released?

[torongill]

Good luck, Darth, May the Force always be strong in you

[KaerMorhen]

Thanks for all Darth, hope one of your own projects will become a brand new series as TW ones. May the force be with You!!!

[TheRomanRuler]

I see Ultimate General: Gettusbyrg as in-direct competitor for Total War.

[keem78]

Damn you, now I have something else to kill time doing when you finish the Gettysburg game! Seriously though, you've made playing all the TW games so much fun with the mods.

I also thank you. Because of your work and others who make these wonderful mods I have been able to extend my playing enjoyment with NTW for many years on and off. Hope to see you around !
