Some "Simple" Mods

[eddieballgame]

These mods are used for our multiplayer games. This game is incredibly stable & just plain fun, thanks to some great programming.
The mods range from bigger worlds, less ocean tiles, less arctic & tundra, faster growth & so on.
Thought I would share.
Per the "Adj FACTIONS Mod" we also incorporated "blackarchon"'s outstanding 14 SMACX mod, but I did not include those adjusted factions here.

Thanks, I guess it works too for solo games.

Yes they do.

Appears to be some issues with The Less Oceans Mod. Primarily...performance. The large maps cause too much "lag" on some systems. I have included an up date to The Less Oceans while adding 2 new ones that entail cutting the Alien Life density in half. This should have a major impact on performance on larger maps.

I also include 2 mods that enlarge the text fonts, just a bit. To help out the older folks, like me.

Less Oceans Mod:
WAS:
<archipelago landTerritories="0.5" ( original = .2 )
<continents landTerritories="0.6" ( original = .3 )
<pangea landTerritories="0.7" ( original = .4 )

NOW:
<archipelago landTerritories="0.3"
<continents landTerritories="0.4"
<pangea landTerritories="0.5"

reuploaded after fixing a spelling error.

Here is an improved version of Less Arctic & Tundra Mod, to include one that adds a +1 mineral to Desert tiles.
