So far, I've only installed Frogboy's mods (woot! Smuggling for evil!) I intend to use the upcoming mods that Stardock is releasing though (ships, I think).

I've installed the Smuggling tech, the Courage anomaly, and all the event mods by Nephrinn, and all those worked fine for me (including allowing metaverse submissions). Nephrinn's events are all nicely balanced, and the artwork for them is extremely well done.

I'll get to yours, Duglis, I'm just a little slow right now. Busy in real life, which is why my metaverse submissions have died out. Ah well, maybe after a few more days I can get back into it. :)

Similarly,

curious about any feedback about my library submissions. I like them, cause I,m biased, and use them in my games but would appreciate comments, positive or negative.

thx!

duplicate mine. So these are the ones i have and like
alot of yours:
The Partial Eclipse and the Satellite Agriculture!

Thx Duglis, I like yours too in general! I am not as keen on your humorous ones, not cause they're bad, but because they jar with the spell of history-changing megolamania I fall under when I play. ;)

I have a few new one coming up, provided they are accepted by Stardock. I try to come up with somewhat believable issues (I had one refused for I guess not being rated G, yet another for no reason I could see) (Hey this is not dig at Stardock, it's their game and they can certainly control their own website!). Part of me wishes for a more robust event system, a bit à la Europa Universalis, where you could link events, have them depend on necessary triggers or more interestingly, have them generate good and bad events at once. It would be nice if events could be dual, in that each moral option say would be +research at the expense of -bc for instance, +one thing yet -another

I enjoy your events quite a lot, and I think the issues you came up with were well thought out.

I completely agree that the EU event system was far more robust. I'd love to see the GalCiv event system built out with more options for the modders.

There's some talk of linked events for the expansion pack, so they are moving in this direction.

Thx for pointing out the expansion teaser Hawaii50. We'll see what they mean by it when Stardock releases it. Keeping my fingers crossed! :d
