DESIGN
I realise most games are either finished or are finishing by the Information Era but I always felt the era was a little bare for those playing slower games or past the end so I thought a few new, powerful wonders would spice things up a little. I also realise extra science generation by this time is a bit redundant unless you beeline for it but I liked the idea of the Square Kilometre Array too much to pass up (also helps that existing icons in the game are suitable enough) but let me know your thoughts on balancing – during my testing, I didn’t fine anything too broken but I know everyone plays differently (also bear in mind, I only know XML so my modding ability and ideas are a bit limited).
UNINTENTIONAL ISSUES AND OTHER NOTES
– None found in testing but let me know if anything does break.
