Library Downloads Questions

Has anyone had any experience with the downloads from the official site in regards to addons? So far they include:

Event - Cryogenically Preserved Precursor
Event - Dangerous Animals
Event - Hostile Aliens

Anomaly - Courage

Technology - Smuggling

Do these need to be installed separately or are they included in the patches?

Are they worth bothering with?

Are there others out there yet?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I just downloaded them all and should be playing my first game tomorrow night.

I noticed that 3 of the available mods only have 1 file each while 1 of the mods has a pcx file as well. Are the other 3 missing their appropriate pictures or are they already included somehow. Not really that important but I was just curious. Thanks again.

The water aliens event's author must have decided that the PCX files that came with the game wouldn't fit with the event. Courage, Dangerous Animals, and Cryogenically Preserved Precursor use PCX files that are already there. Oh, and there's a second page of the library with a tech called Smuggling. It gives evil empires another trade route.

Thanks Nicolas. That is pretty much what I already thought but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks again.

Are these mods with regards to gameplay? I mean that in the nicest sort of way, have there been any problems running all of them together or any problems submitting a game to the Metaverse?

Event - Cryogenically Preserved Precursor
Alittle cheap if your evil, It was popping up every 5 seconds giving me +50% to Research

Event - Dangerous Animals
Its good, not useful for gameplay, but good quality.

Event - Hostile Aliens
Little cheesy. The bonuses aren't very useful and the evil choice makes no sense (Cause: I drop bombs Effect: I get a bonus to research).. Really just filler, Nice Graphics though

Anomaly - Courage
It effects ground combat. Common Anomaly.

Technology - Smuggling
Hardy Har har! Its a tech you can pick up near the begining of the game.. 100 turns later. Not worth it until mid game. But +1 Trade Route is nice
