About This File

Colossus Addon Mod - Core File is the main dependency of CAM. This Core File is suitable for both players using CAM and both SPAM and Pure Vanilla players. This package consists mainly of code and support files for UI, LText, and Exemplar. However, it does make many alterations to various Maxis default buildings that are designed for use with CAM, and also modifies Lua files affecting the Advisor system and other functionality of the game.

To speed up debugging and testing of new features, we decided to create an experimental version of CAM Core where you can preview the new features of the future version of CAM.

This version can only be installed via SC4Pac, as it allows the creation of a controlled environment.

The mod was developed by the various members of the CAM Team who over time have brought modifications to improve this mod

WARNING: This version is an experimental version. Please do not use this mod on regions where you play the game, as it may cause CTDs and corruption. Use this mod in a test region. You must post your reports in this thread.
