CONQUEST - TERRAN FRONTIER WARS: RETURN TO TERRA (Human Faction DLC Campaign) - Update 01/09/2025

I play now Endless Space 2 and because of the Amazon Prime Definitive Edition does not support mods and edited the Core XML files and all changes beside technoligies changes take affect also in savegames. So it is possible for XML files as I read it also works for savegames if you mod the game and not edit the core XML files.

Now it makes so much more fun because of my edits.

You made an update of your mod and to use it all have to start a new game.

You seem to have fundamental misconceptions about how game engines work and what modding is about and when new games are required and when not.
Even for games with dynamic data there is basic rules for this.

Every change to core gameplay elements, introduction of new mechanics, new factions, world generation etc require a new game (not matter which game) and for that matter Endles Space 2 has various big mods that require to start a new game:
Endless Moons, ESG (Enhanced Strategic Game) overhaul, or mods that add new ship types or major faction changes...none of these have effect on a savegame.

The fundamental advantage of static data is that no matter what you can play very old savegames despite plenty patches in between.
The downside is that for even small edits to have effect you need start a new game. It is what it is...

Personally, I consider any gameplay mod that not require a new game not worth my time as there is nothing new in it.
