Total Conversion possibilities

[Levering Enthousiast]

Hello everyone!

I have a really random, topic to discuss.

As some of you may know, all Total War games since Empire have been built on, essentially the same game engine.

Obviously with every new installment, it getting additional features and technical improvements.

So, what I was wondering, in short :

From a technical perspective, with the mod tools we have today, would it, in theory be possible, to convert WH3, or atleast, its engine, into, for example, an Empire Total War total conversion or a Shogun Total War conversion?

I want to make it clear, im not saying anyone should do this, or even attempt it, I am purely curious if it would theoretically be possible on a technical level. Was talking about it with some friends, hence the question.

Apolagies for the really random topic, but i'm curious to hear your answers!

Sadly, no. Games Workshop will not modders change the IP into something else.

Could it be done? Maybe? Don't know if CA has released the complete set of tools to allow total conversations, but again, Games Workshop will come in and shut it down in seconds (or more like CA will do it to protect their contract with GW).

Total conversion? No. There are features from the older titles that were cut from TWWH and can't be re-implemented.

Could you make custom models and animations for all the units, a custom map and custom factions and remake the games within the confines of what does exist in the present engine? Yes those are all possible, and since it's historical stuff and not actually IP it would be legally allowed.

Would anyone actually do this? I very much doubt it.
