SE4X is now SE4 Advanced

This sounds like its going to be a very good mod.

Cannot wait to see it finished and on my PC. It might be what the doctor ordered to get me interested in playing SE IV again.

Thanks

SE4 Advanced? For some reason I expect to see Black Hole Neotanks fighting against cartoony looking infantry on the ground combat

edit: after actually reading some of your post, this mod looks pretty exciting!

Need any help with the mod, or maybe porting an SE5 version or something?

edit 2: Malfadorian Worshippers are not evil already? Wasn't Malfador originally a demon from some movie or other? (Aaron did admit it on IRC once if I recall correctly

) I'd think maybe the Malfadorian Worshippers would be the evil ones, and the Paladins of Orion or something could be the "good" guys, except they're not really all that good because they're basically the Crusaders in space, or maybe the Knights of the Round Table, just running around slaughtering people in the name of goodness and light

(Hey, if you're going to be lighthearted with "Talismans of Aaron", why not have some fun with the other side, too?)

Maybe each cult could have its own racial trait like in Adamant... and add some flavor to them with penalties too... like the death shrine could reduce reproduction?

I haven't considered a SE5 port yet. I want to finish the mod first.

I could definitely use some help adapting the AI once the data files are complete.

Hmm, too bad I suck at / don't like AI modding

I could also use some help with the system, quadrant, and planet files. I know techs and AI, but I haven't worked much with map stuff.

Everything else is just busy work. I suppose it would help if there was a new version of the SE4 Modder program that allowed batch editing of component entries.

I can help with researching and text files. Such as name files, empire types, etc.

There are better tools available that actually help you mod faster..

Were you still planning to use FQM? There isn't much required to integrate it if so; just copy in the relevant files, and possibly add the small RW components if you want to use them.
