In order to celebrate this announcement, Creative Assembly released a new trailer for this battle map editor that can be viewed below.

Terry’s features:

  • Land battle map editing for custom and multiplayer battle.
  • Full suite of environment models, props, SFX and VFX for map creation.
  • A.I. hints, deployment editing, no-go regions, terraforming, texture terrain painting, vegetation terrain painting and more.
  • Customizable layout and layering within the tools for easy organization and navigation.
  • Easy one click export that creates a .pack file for you map, allowing you to toggle it on and off in the Total War Launcher as you wish.
