In personal news, I'm having to clear and move out of my house so that it can be renovated before it kills me, which is the culmination of all difficulties I've had in the past nine months or so. So please bear with me.It's been a while, i presume there is no major news but how goes the effort?
In modding news, @tsf4 is continuing to adapt and expand the existing systems, including progress towards a second off-map power; @Dwarfnator is going great guns on deeper and wider history, and has expanded the species trait assignment system with a fabulous diversity event; and @Taurenhe is playtesting and fixing so that the next release will be more playable. I've managed to spend a little time tying these threads together, and now randomly generated families can be mixed-race. We also have more new religions, and a wider range of playable characters from some minor species.
There's a bit more debugging still to go - some localisation still refers to Earth locations and ethnicities, dragons need their portraits and traits fixed the same as yikarians and saurials did, and some unique static portraits aren't working.
