Racial diversity mod for Endless Space. For details see description and homepage.
This mod contains a number of changes which I feel add diversity to the races in the game. The idea is to make each race different enough, that a player will find it interesting to replay as each different race. This description is for version 1.0.16-02 (note serial 02) released August 25, 2012. Future versions will include more races, and hopefully more stuff.Disclaimer
- USE WITH VERSION 1.0.16 ONLY. As soon as a new version is released I will update the mod.
- This content is not Amplitude's, so this mod is installed at your own risk.
- Text changes are for English language only. The mod will work in other languages but the English text will be present.
- There is currently no way to mod new icons. So I can only reuse some existing icon. The new racial icons are all orange, but they aren't really appropriate to their technologies.
