<r> Since I'm still getting emails about this mod having dead links despite the steam thread I decided to edit the OP to include both v.10 (possibly stable but with fewer features) and v.13. To clarify and reiterate what I said in the steam thread, I dropped development of the mod on account of it ...

I didn't look at the file but I'm guessing you tried to remove gold as a resource, or maybe even changed its number or something. It likely crashes the game because of its connection with those solid gold asteroids. If this isn't the case then I'm not sure what it is.

<t> My back is better, sort of, thanks for asking. It wasn't as bad as I thought, just hurt like hell and needed rest.<br/>
<br/>
As far as the mod goes, I think I have fixed whatever was causing the crashes. I have got through several large games now. I will release my current work which includes ...

<t> MIC - Pre-warp was going to be used as the basis for the campaign, but I never got straight answers about what triggers the Shakturi (who were going to be replaced by the Heretic forces), so there's not much to do with it at this point.<br/>
<br/>
Cap - I have been working on it recently, but ...

<t> I am feeling a little better, though I have had some ups and downs. I have not really been up to putting in the time I should as far as releasing this update goes. I could release what I have, but it wouldn't quite work due to some tech tree changes. I'm really not sure when everything will be ...

<t> Cap - The AI, especially the economic races, do have a propensity for developing alliances. Sounds like they manage to create a situation akin to pre-WW 1 Europe.<br/>
<br/>
All - I apologize for the lack of updates recently. I hurt my back badly about a month ago and then hurt it even worse ...

I don't even understand how that could happen. It seems like some sort of bug for them all to suddenly declare war. The CTD was likely from all the subsequent ship/fleet movements.

Wow, this bug still exists? Icemania outlined it months ago and brought it to the dev's attention. I had just assumed it was fixed in some recent updates.

<t> Cap - The tech progression bug will be fixed for the upcoming update. I'm not sure what to do about the colony thing other than scale all the upgrades and initial colony module sizes down, as it sounds like I have hit yet another undocumented limit. Will you be getting supreme ruler: ultimate? I ...

<r> Thanks for the great work Japhet. If you are on steam you should freind me, perhaps we can play some multiplayer Dawn of War at some point. I picked up all 4 titles recently as it was on sale and I missed it.<br/>
<br/>
Cap - I will take a look at that first bug. With the second, if the colony ...

<t> Couldn't agree more, Cyrtis. Though personally, I have actually lost to minor empires on numerous occasions, mostly because I usually play in character as well, and so basically just attack everyone with no regard to diplomacy.<br/>
<br/>
Here's to hoping that the next distant worlds title ...

<t> Japhet - There is no way to replicate anything like the locust point system in this game. Likewise, I cannot affect robotic troops in any way.<br/>
<br/>
Cap - There is a way. It would be under the race policy where we can make a race more or less likely to invade or bombard, among many other ...

<t> Bloodly - I think I have an idea of what you mean about the affects of modding trade and tourism, but I don't want to miss anything so would you mind elaborating on the internal and external bit? Also, and this is very, very unfortunate; there is nothing I can do to prevent racial techs from ...

I agree that that is laughably absurd but sadly you can't mod it.

<t> Bloodly - Thanks for the straight forward assessment of the situation. I have now nerfed some Tyranid stuff and cut down some of their bonuses to be more in line with what they should be. I maintained the thematic boons and nerfs though, I feel they were appropriate and fair. Seems to me like ...

<t> Japhet - I could make passenger components prohibitively large or something, or obscenely expensive, or just deny access to them all together. That is a good idea but it needs some testing. You might be on to something. Thanks for the art, by the way. I need to compile a list of all the race ...

<t> The Tyranids were supposed to have a special tech line for construction tech but I'm not sure what happened. I think it may have been a "replace all" mistake, or more likely an error when I was alphabetizing race lists. I checked last night and they do have a construction component though ...

I hope the long lists of requests are being taken into consideration by the developers. Would be really cool to see stuff like space station and ship based populations, settling barren worlds, actually terraforming planets and not just repairing bombard damage, among so many other things.

<t> If you look in the bottom left corner you can see a red tile. After you research the virus and build the bio-weapon wonder pressing that lets you deploy a virus, via about a dozen Giant Kaltors, at any enemy colony. I'm not sure if I have the virus quite right yet but watching 12 Giant Kaltors ...

Well, I was wrong. It works!
