Re: Will There Be Modding Conference For TW3K?
There is no comment about any modding summit for Three Kingdoms, although that doesn't mean much, as not even the recommended and minimum system requirements have been released yet. That of Rome II occurred after the release, but, regarding Attila, it was organised (in absolute secrecy) a couple of weeks before the game became available to the customers. On the contrary, there was no summit for Warhammer, while CA has also dissolved (without either any prior warning or an afterwards explanation to those affected) a group of "elite modders" it had created in 2015. As far as I know, there were some plans for cooperation between modders and the company, mainly orchestrated by Darren, but they were gradually abandoned, culminating in the aforementioned abrupt elimination of the chat forum, following Darren's resignation. So, I suppose the chances of any modding summit taking place are slim, to say the least. To be sincere, I'm not going to complain, as modding summits always had a minor impact on the games' designing and moddability, but they instead mainly served as public relations events, in order to reinforce the links of Creative Assembly with the community, by presenting a somewhat misleadingly positive image of the company. No big loss, in my opinion, although I know a couple of modders who were quite disappointed, when their hopes for a future collaboration with their favourite developer were suddenly frustrated.
