How safe is the workshop?
just wondering how safe the workshop is for subscribing to mods? i know for skyrim its unsafe and and can break a game if a modder pulls/updates their work but what about GC3? will it break my game/save if a modder pulls/alters/updates their content for:

Updates
Bugs/glitches
Permanant removal
A complete overhaul
Political/Religious reasons(only ever seen this once for skyrim but its always a possibility)

its one of the reason i prefer to use non steam mods and while the nexus has some mods it has almost NO factions(it has Gauntlets race mod but when ever i try and use it i get dozens of error messgaes about custom races not being available despite the fact i have ALL DLLC)/civs/ships since the workshop puts the control of my game/saves and computer partly in other peoples hands...

am i being overly cautious(soome may say paranoid) or do i have valid concerns?

I also had that problem with GRM when Crusade first came out; however, I haven't seen any errors with GRM enabled for several months.

The GalCiv3 workshop doesn't have mods in the traditional sense. Just custom content made with on-game editors. Also most of the data is saved with the save game, so even if something changed, your save would still have the data it started with.

You have to put mods in a special folder under your profile. For crusade its going to look like:

C:\Users\YOU\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Mods\MODNAME\Game\filename.xml

I don't think you can break the game. I messed up a mod a bunch of times (I really hate xml, its bloated and picky) and GC3 just popped up an ugly window to tell me that I noobed it up until I finally got it to work. You can probably make the game crash or behave poorly but its just a click away to delete the mod and repair.
