Got it. The debug log has a ton of reference to "modid" which I incorrectly assumed referred to mods. I suppose it refers to "modules" or some such.

Another idea -- and this may already be the case as I haven't looked in to modding gciv yet -- but it would be amazing if modders could add these stories. If this part was partially cloud-sourced, I bet player/modders would come up with a ton of super cool, complex story/missions.

Dev team, fwiw here are my thoughts about the game after 50 hours of play. First, the good. I felt like I got my money's worth -- after all I played 50 hours. Overall the game worked well for a BETA. I had no crashes at all in that time. There were a few glitches where the game got stuck (i.e. I could not spend a ideology point) but saving and restarted fixed it each time. So no biggie. I LOVE the core world system. It does help deal with late game stall. I definitely think that you are on th
