mod needs a bump. was a blast, my fav way to play CoE4!

No problem, 4 more on the way in this series.

Thanks, just read through them. Awesome interview with the XCOM and Long War team as well as Derek Paxton and others, I'm really impressed and agree with what mariofig said: [quote]
I’m amazed at this article! Gobsmacked. And my lower jaw will never fit correctly in my mouth again. WTF!

Really? You not only got JohnnyLump to talk extensively about the Long War mod, but you also get Firaxis Lead Engineer for XCOM 2 to talk about the impact it had on Firaxis and what they learned from it? And you didn’t break a sweat? [/quote]

I'll add that it's really interesting to hear their tips, experiences and also their critical assessment of their own achievements. Thanks again for the link

Yup, check this out - http://explorminate.net/?s=monday+modness

No worries, the mod is still a long way from being done. (I'm still working on more races, events, balance and tweaks).. But it's always nice to get CoE4 some exposure, it's a very wonderful little, light 4x. Feels much more relaxing than most games and yet the mechanics allow for a surprising amount of depth. (20 standard races, each with their own mechanics and strategies).

One other nice thing about Conquest of Elysium 4 is that It's also really easy to mod with just GIMP and Notepad++ (my 8 year old daughter has a fairy mod she made before I did anything, with lots of massively overpowered free summons like poo firing dogs, fire-breathing raindeer, poison spitting cats and other silly things... she told me to make my own mods... so I did)

Just reached 27min in WeXchange #64 about modding in games. it's interesting to hear about modding in games, do you have a link to what you discussed with Derek Paxton and others? If it's not uploaded yet I'll look forward to it later.

If I can find our CoE4 thread, I'd cross post it there and bump it up, but I'm not having any luck. Our newest member, BirdyBot did a Let's Play of it on our YT channel a while back.

Thanks Nasarog

I saw, looks good.

I haven't checked it out in a while tbh, but I'll have a look now. (and I've uploaded a black version, the white details is a little hard to see on this one).

Nice, we have a streamers who is a fan!!! Have you been checking out the site of late? I have a modders series going, and it might interest you.
