Hi Valentin,

I'm trying to make a mech (robot) like mod, more or less like there is BattleTech.
Could I request some additions to the modding system, if it fit's your road-map?

Request are based on generating the feeling of the setting (but will contribute to your game framework for other mods also). Note that I was able to capture the atmosphere using infantry to infantry battles, but the stats on tanks and robots (using tanks) did give a strange offset to the game (ea making infantry more powerful as intended and the tanks not sufficient against infantry).

I'll also give the rational behind the request and order it by priority:

I. Randomness: having a multiplier, division, addition or subtraction of a random value to soft, hard or air attack (possibly also to the armour). The reason is to add some randomness especially as to balance infantry fighting mechs (robot's), with the static part of this it's hard to capture the feeling/flavour of an unit of humans fighting a group of let's say only 4 robots.
- for starters a simple addition of 0 to any number will be fine (and will not off-set your in game units as they are +0)

II. Build/Buy Modding: The ability to create/mod/remove own filters for the store of units (inc the pictures etc).
This is needed to have a sight other setting, but also streamline name flavour the setting that you want to mod. (I put this as the second priority as this is more easy to implement compared of the requests here below).

III. Type Mod's: The ability to create your own type and how and what is contributing to attack and or defense. Meaning the type of unit could be always set to user hard attack to certain other units type, or that you could ignore flamethrowers, rocket etc. (more complex to do so lower on the wish-list). This will generate the capability for more exotic units and or interaction in the paper, rock and scissors category.

IV. Build assignment: the capability to assign what can build what and where (destination hex), including repairing (ea moving on top of the unit to repair). For modding the normal resupply is not sufficient to capture atmosphere of having specialized field repair units. In my case it's about having repair units repairing mechs (robots) and not be able to manpower resupply on it's own.

V. Abilities Mod's: As this is the hardest one I have put it last; this is about having more control of the units abilities so it's more granular to combine who can build for example the radar and where or even include tile dependent custom abilities (like you have winter trained) to add desert trained (if not having on desert get x about of damage) etc.. Also the second part is how I could make the mech's detectable by radar even if they are not air, invent weapons and Abilities on its own like laser ignoring armour on infantry types or gauss adding hard damage (random or not) to tank units (or any custom type as stated in requirement III).

I'm interested what you can are willing to add to the modding capabilities.

Note: I found some bug's over the couple of days I'll report those in the pinned report bug section.
