We are happy to announce that an Open Beta of the new Modding system is starting today! With these tools you will be able to modify or even create units, spells, abilities and much more!

Also, after listening to feedback from the community, we have spent the last two weeks on work to allow mods to add new models and textures into the game. This means you will be able to re-texture existing models and add whole new models in order to create new units and structures.

For full details on how you can access the beta, as well as guides and example mods, see our forums thread here:

For a taster of what can be done with the system, we present the Blight Surgeon, a collaboration between Tombles and forums poster Tibbles The Cat!
