Hi!
I can't tell you how happy I was to find this mod! I loved Civ I, but ignored the rest of the series until SMAC, and then the rest of the series until Civ IV.
I'm trying to get a feel for the Mod and wanted to ask a few questions. I've been all over this board, but it's hard from the message board to figure out what discussion applies to which version, etc.. I found the 2-question FAQ... installed the right sounds, etc..
Anyway, on to specific questions:
1. In general, is this mod still being actively maintained? I see that when I meet somebody in diplomacy, I still get messages like, "DE". I also see "Temporary" under civics for various things. Will this stuff get ironed out later?
2. Besides the Mod maintainer, who else works on this? Maybe I could contribute a bit as I have extensive C/Python experience.
3. I saw that the maintainer didn't want to add any of the Alien Crossfire factions. How are would it be for me to add them? (I always played the pirates)
4. Even though I played SMAC a lot, playing the planetfall mod is just ... strange. Anybody done a walkthrough? If not, maybe after I figure it out, I should write one up
5. Have some thoughts on "design workshop". But I see the thread on "units" so I'll post it there....
