I'm cautious, but not optimistic. From where I stand, it co
The issue with Kenata's mod is that, although it's an amazing piece of work, it's extremely constrained by the limitations of the moding engine right now. There's a lot of stuff that could add strategic depth that currently cannot be coded into the game. Passive, reactive or conditional abilities aren't in the game yet, for the most part. Also, abilities and a richer environment for tactical battles go hand in hand. Stealth/speed related abilities need a larger battlefield with cover
