I recently played through a mod on EDCE called Monster Planet written by gryphin.rampant. One of the items that came up during our recent tournament a few weeks back was around calculations of Recon Spectrum Points (RSP) and why they have such high value. One of the things I did during my playthrough of the…
I am putting the finishing touches on my first draft of the enhanced terrain set for EDCE. Click the image on the left to get a better look. There are still a few obvious graphic glitches I want to get fixed before I post it. I plan to have a ready to download version within…

The Future Units Database has been uploaded to EDIBLE. This is a futuristic take on one of the default unit sets already available in-game. In this version, capital ships hover over the surface of the water while giant walking machines called “Mechs” roam the surface of the planet. The ever-present danger of nukes and biochemical…
I posted a small update to the Island of Harn map that corrects a few issues found during play testing. Mainly, there were some cities incorrectly marked as Important Cities, Aleath has been named correctly, and fixed some typos in locations.
