The Creative Assembly has launched the Total War: Shogun 2 Assembly Kit worldwide. A suite of tools that enables ground-up modification of the entire Total War: Shogun 2 Assembly Kit product family, this release also includes an update to TEd (the existing Battle Map Editor), which enables Steam Workshop integration and the ability to create scripted single-player historical battles. A sample historical battle, custom-built by The Creative Assembly, is available now on Steamworks to give new modders a convenient starting point.
With the Assembly Kit installed, modders are empowered to reimagine almost every aspect of Total War: Shogun 2 Assembly Kit, and with its built-in Mod Manager, mods can be uploaded to Steam Workshop
for other players to download, play and rate.
“Total War has a dedicated mod scene with some truly heroic modders wrestling with a gigantic game and turning out some incredible work,” said Rob Bartholomew, Brand Director. ”Until now though there’s never been a useful set of tools that really opened up the possibilities in the game the way we knew they wanted. However, while we gear up for Rome II’s release next year, I’m happy to say that the team were able pull out all the stops and put together a kit we hope will really inspire them.”
The Total War: Shogun 2 Assembly Kit comes preloaded with example data, comprising buildings, units, maps and more, along with a number of 3D Studio Max plugins and scripts to help modders create custom models. Further information, supporting documentation and a growing repository of tutorials from CA staff and community members can be found at the new TWWiki on the official www.totalwar.com site, and Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on the Total War videogame franchise.
