The next patch enables User Modding for Rome II, so if they can't figure out how to make their game good, someone will. This game is sort of a stain on Total War's otherwise flawless pedigree, and while Creative Assembly is hard at work attempting to fix it, it hasn't come full circle just yet. Do you all remember when Total War: Rome IIcame out and it was completely jacked up with bugs and required constant weekly patching immediately after release? Yeah, me too. The Creative Assembly is also currently working on a survival horror title based in the Alien universe, Alien: Isolation. Total War: Rome 2 launched in September 2013 for Windows PC. More information on installing and using the Assembly Kit can be found on the Total War: Rome 2 wiki. According to The Creative Assembly, more than 1,000 user mods are already available for perusal through the launcher.ĭevelopers plan to continuously add more tools to the Assembly Kit over time as they are developed. Completed mods can be uploaded to Steam Workshop directly through the Rome 2 launcher. The Assembly Kit comes with "example data" featuring soldiers, animation sets, naval vessels and a complete model of Rome 2's backend to get users started.

The set also features exporters enabling users to utilize third-party software for editing animations and models. These tools include ways to edit Rome 2's database and variants as well as process data for user-created animations, textures and start position for the game's campaign. The free set of tools is designed to help get modders rolling on creative endeavors for Rome 2 and can be downloaded through Steam's Tools section. A beta version of Total War: Rome 2's suite of mod tools, the Assembly Kit, is now available through Steam, developer The Creative Assembly announced today.
