how modable ?

The devs are already working on the mod tools. No infos about the features of it..yet.

Yeap, however I think that the mod tools won't be released in the next few weeks, if you know what I mean.

there are lot of important things to do for the devs, like tweaking, balancing, bug fixing, improving the strategic AI...and the list continues.

Hi,

I'd like an answer to tkobo's questions as well. I was going to post a separate thread, but thought I'd bump this one, instead.

Having just watched the Mummy Returns again, I'd love to do my Version of of the Scorpion King, Amonhotep and an Egyptian theme/nation.

Thanks for any and all information, IW.
V'ger gone

Demo-is it modable at all ?

Full game -will we be able to make our own custom gods ?
Units ?
Items ?
Cultures ?

Can we alter save games ?

Will it be easy ? Or will we need programing skills ?

Yhere will be mod tools in the first patch. They might not be as complete as some of you might wish but there is no reason why they can't be updatted further in later patches. As of now you can add or alter units pretty much in any way you want. You can rename and alter nations etc. You cannot at present change or disable spells or items.

Well, I'd like to be able to create my own pretender,new items and new units.

Will any of this be possible ?

Yes now, no, and yes later.

Yes to units, as Johan mentioned, you will be able to add and alter units with the mod tool.

At the moment you can make a pretender out of any of the 1010 units in the game. You can do it with .map commands making a playable game which gives you a particular pretender. You can also give it any magic and equipment (already existing)

But items will apparently take awhile longer.

Can give tell me how to do make my own pretender ?
Please be specific in each step.

thanks
