if i had to state my fav. mod

it would be Adamant hands down.

Very good mod... not done .... maybe never. But fantastic mod. And in its current state very enjoyable. You can see the effort that went into making it.

This is a common theme with all of the seiv mods. effort, I only list the mod i enjoy the most. I have made mods myself, I only say this to make sure i do not insult any of the other modders. As that is not my intention here.

I have say that I enjoy Adamant very much, and I think it is by far going to be the best mod for SE IV in the end. (That is if it is ever finished.

)

If you have not tried it, you should. It has a learning curve, no SP AI as of yet, but its getting there.

A few of my friends & myself find the "TDM" & FQM" standard mods to be a tremendous addition to this program. The "FQM" is my personal favorite.

TDM and FQM, all the way.

Ok, so I have used DevNull extensively, and just got into the Star Trek mod and now I am thinking of going for a third mod...so:

Why is Adamant so good?
When you say it has no "SP AI" yet, does that mean it is not applicable for Solitaire play (not that I do that anymore, actually...)
Where can I get it?

(I know, I know, these are newbie questions...my apologies in advance...)

thanks,

Alarik

You can get it at Spaceempires.net in the downloads section of the site. (There is a section dedicated to Adamant as well on this site.)

There is no AI as for now, so you cannot play this mod in singleplayer. Well, you could, but the AI would not do much so.

The premise of Adamant is to choose between three races, Physical ones (such as the ones in SEIV), Organic races (I cannot speak of these) and Magical beings. (Spelljammers!) And then you have quite a few ideas here and there, but I should let Fyron speak of his own mod I guess.

I will have to mention P&N as a very enjoyable mod. (Nomadic races! How to develop an Empire without colonization abilities! And the Pirate clans, although I don't know these much.)
