Description
About this Mod

- Menu for easy action selection
- Score and military tracking
- Takeover calculations
- Scripted phases
- Scripted powers
- Goal assignment

To-do:
- Optimizations
- Bug fixes

How to Use the Script
Selecting Cards and Paying Their Cost

During certain phases, a button will exist on top of cards to allow selection. Click on it to select the card you want to play. You can also click the button again to cancel the selection.



To pay for a card that has been selected, flip the other cards in your hand face down. Click the ready button (red X) once you're done.

Once all players are ready, the script will put into play the card you selected and discard the face-down cards you used to pay for it.

Choosing an Action Card

At the start of each round, you can select an action by clicking one of these buttons shown.


An action card will be placed face-down in front of your tableau. Click the 'X' to ready up. Once all players are ready, the script will reveal the actions card and carry out the selected phases.

Using Card Powers

To use a card's power, click on the button above the card.


You may then need to click on a good, flip cards in hand then click the confirm button that shows up below the selected card, or be given a menu where you need to select something.

Ah, alright! It's really great and fun nonetheless. It's so good I just gave an award for it, haha

Unfortunately, there's no plans to add more players. Right now, it's just applying fixes to bugs when I have time.

I got to know this game way back in high school and I introduced it to my friends later, we are all now really addicted! I really love this online mod, I think it's the best, even better than the official game itself! However, I got more and more people to play together, so much that 4 seats is not always enough... Are you planning on adding option for 5th/6th player? I know a lot of RFTG fans say it's a heresy to play with so many people, but it's so chaotic, that's why I love it so much!

When we were playing, the "Rebel Sneak Attack" does not discard if you try to play the 2nd Rebel world. In addition, there are certain conditions in which Improved Logistics gets bugged (error on nil value)

Top tier scripting for a fantastic game.:steamthumbsup:
Unfortunately the prestige leader card draw is slightly faulty as it does not draw cards when the current leader extends their lead, so make sure you do that manually.

Really impressive mod! It made my friend's first games go much smoother, thank you!

The script messes up in the 2-player variant when there are 2 subsequent develop or settle phases. You get powers (like +x military or -2 cost) for the first of the 2 phases, but the second phase doesn't give you any of those powers.
