Default Re: Had my first Crash

Modding is a bunch of .tga graphics files, and a text .dm file which says what the subdirectory is that the graphics are in. Not much different than SEIV except that there is only one text file. The images are small and not extensively worked. The game does smoothing and image touchup inside the game to make them look better. Each unit has 2 images only, 1 for standing and 1 for animation. As far as I understand it though since mods is an area I havent played with yet.

You will find more ability in the area of maps than SEIV seems to have. The map can create full opponents, special provinces, starting positions, resources, etc. You can layout as much as you want or just do a little bit and leave the rest to random. That I have played with.

There is still room to do a map/mod together for a full game effect.
