I want to know how exactly Sid plans on making Civ 5 more "modder friendly," and if it's REALLY modder friendly try my hand at a post-apocalyptic mod, perhaps of the zombie variety. But that's unlikely as the only kind of coding I'll have any knowledge of is HTML and possibly XML.
RIFE coming to civ 5?

Well, we know it will be XML/Lua/C++, rather than XML/Python/C++ as it is now.
Aside from that, not much.

Honestly, I learned Python and C++ by modding. And asking lots of questions.

It would be nice if Civ 5 actually shipped with an XML editor, but I'm not holding my breath.

Well, if it is fantasy, I vote having influence from either songs of fire and ice (which is already being done) or Glen Cook's Fantasy Novels. Black Company or the Instrumentalities of the Night.

i bet its about giant aquatic, vampiric hamsters from outer space, crash landing in the year of 1415 intervening in the battle of agincourt and thereby altering history. have i mentioned the zombie-elves that are created by hamsterbite?

....Whut?
By the way: In addition to Eden (the RifE team's project), I will be making a small mod, little more than a scenario really. What is the setting for that? The "Dies the Fire" books by S.M. Stirling.

eden, aka a christian mythology inspired world?
and about the whut: its an old tibetan technique involving emptying your brain and extracting as much mental
as you can. used by some famous dictators too.

No. Has nothing to do with christianity in anyway, name was chose for a vastly different reason; It resonates nicely with the setting.
And NO, it is not because it is a fluffy, unicorn-filled paradise!

What's wrong with fluffy?
Fluffypaw
on erebus fluffy things tend to end up eviscerated with their innards turned out and sacrificed on some demon altar.
its dark fantasy. if you encounter fluffy little rabbits be prepared. and scared. very scared. its more likely to be a demon.

I meant it will be dark fantasy, not fluffy "good always wins!" fantasy.
