Shadowgate 4.1

Mirror Downloads (Current and Legacy Versions): Here[rentry.co]


Welcome! This is a galactic travel mod that introduces a luxurious way to traverse vast distances with your ships. Shadowgates are a new planet type that essentially open wormholes inside systems of your choice.

Each installation is treacherous, volatile, and slow-functioning. While not entirely necessary, restoring them will unlock various functionalities and improve upon existing ones.

• The galaxy now contains anywhere from two to five dilapidated shadowgates, scaling with galaxy size.
  
• Each eldritch gateway uses its own ether reserve to summon portals around almost any discovered star, all through a user interface.
  
• Installations differ from one another based on ether reserves, districts restored, compass configurations, and rift fortifications.
  
• Shadowrifts are attackable, even without a declaration of war. Please choose your destinations wisely.
  
• Rudimentary AI support means you're never the only one using the mod's features. Beware!
  
• The Ashen Pilgrimage is a new faction that permits usage of their own installation, welcoming all but the most heinous of patrons.

I'm spoiling too much! There's more to discover as you play and explore.

• The Merger of Rules (patch 3.14 only) - A wonderful and comprehensive patch for inter-mod compatibility. Recommended when using multiple mods together. Thank you to its author, Inny!

Incompatibilities:

• A patch (3.14 only) is needed for mods that add custom playable country_types (ZoFE, etc).

Everything else is implicitly compatible. Please let me know of any conflicting mods, and I will look into making reasonable accomodations to the best of my ability.

• Preemptive rift casting is encouraged, for shadowrifts are not quick to stabilize.
  
• Cast your rifts carefully. As a general rule, anything hostile will attempt to violently destabilize your rifts.
  
• Shadowgates and their rifts cannot withstand bombardment or assault for long. Guard them well!
  
• Rift fortifications last indefinitely and never diminish, even after violent destabilizations. Conversely, ruinous potency doesn't decrease when exposed.
  
• The Ashen Pilgrimage holds all summoners to account! Extra caution is advised when utilizing their temple, especially in times of war.
  
• You can repeatedly tap the Esc button on your keyboard to swiftly exit the mainframe menus.
  
• Clicking on the country flag of an attackable rift (beside its fleet power) directly opens the corresponding shadowgate mainframe if you're its owner. This works for rifts summoned through the Ashen Pilgrimage as well.

Performance:

• There may or may not be some script taboo at work within this mod. : - )
  
• This mod is somewhat slow natured. Despite this, there is a slight performance hit, which is something I am hoping to improve in the future.

Bugs:

• While the mod's main features seem robust, issues may arise that I haven't encountered. Please kindly let me know if you happen upon any.
  
• There are a few seemingly harmless entries that routinely appear in the error log.

Balance:

• This mod is made with vanilla gameplay in mind.
  
• Shadowgates and remnant systems are scattered across the galaxy at random, so finding one is never guaranteed.
  
• The AI is directed to attack shadowrifts under proper conditions, but I've had mixed results in the past with this. Take extra care when casting rifts outside of your territory.
  
• The Ashen Pilgrimage enables almost all empires to make use of a public shadowgate, so don't despair if you can't find one of your own.

Finally, thank you for reading. I hope you try the mod - I couldn't have imagined it turning out this way, and it was a lot of fun making it.

Good luck, and enjoy.
