Question: Does his mode come with pictures and descriptors of the Writers or just a quote> Ya know what'd be cool? Is if they left behind (in the game) some sort of modifier or, like with the mod Great Believers, a special something that was physical and large and showed up in the menu of modifiers. Go check out that mod, you'll see what I mean.

@anrice23 I don't know if Noam Chomsky makes the grade (impressive though he is) but one could argue for historians Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson or maybe documentarian Ken Burns (or even Michael Moore for popular and international reach).

DeadTreeAgainstCLoudySky -- you definitely have a case with Dostoevsky

@SeelingCat Reading the description and comments, I had two thoughts and a question.
I can see excluding Mao (and certainly Hitler) but Marx? That guy changed the world with just one book. Probably only the Bible has had a bigger influence or audience. [And personally I found the latter unmoving and not particularly revealing or interesting, whereas Marx's ideas were concrete and compelling, and I still remember, 30 years later and in a world gone mad and ruined by capitalism, concepts and conclusions that are valid and convincing.]

Ernest Hemingway: invented a style of writing that swept the world, and helped put American writers on the world stage.

Noam Chomsky

needs Dostoevsky

I think J.K. Rowling is good, but choosing a book can be tricky.

jrr tolkein

add H.P. lovecraft!

@matigol - Tolkien's in the base Magnum Opus mod

What about Tolkien?

don't know whatcha doing, but Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is broken in mod description. AGAIN

This mod has been updated for Gathering Storm - please let me know if you experience any issues!

What about J.K. Rowling?

@dnarik - Thanks for pointing out the bug, I've fixed the name weirdness. I didn't include Mao since there's a mod that adds Mao as a leader and thought that would be a bit odd in game

also, why isn't Mao Zedong here? Didn't his book sell the most? Lenin, Marx and Hitler too?

smth is wrong with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in mod description

Thank you very much!

Maybe some game and manga writers such as Yoko Taro.

@warhammerfrpgm - Yes! It should theoretically work w/o issues, just got to finish updating some of my larger mods before I get to this one to remove the warning!

@seelingCat any plans to update for GS?

J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling would be nice. Stan Lee would be cool too.

@warhammerfrpgm - I'm happy to say that Rowling and Tolkien are included in the base version of Magnum Opus, linked in the description above.

JK Rowling would be my first choice. Tolkien. Stan Lee would be awesome and perfect given his recent passing.

cool

@TLPD-AVW - Thanks for the headsup! Should be fixed now.

Good job, but I noticed a typo. Roald Dahl's great work is shown in the game as "James and the Giant Beach". While amusing, it should be a Giant Peach.
