@Atrik I can relate to the points you mentioned, actually, because I felt a similar way when I first started contributing to this project. What I can tell you from my own experience, though, is that things tend to run smoother and quicker over time, as you would become a more regular contributor and also learn how things run and what to look out for in implementations. Of course, making mods will always be faster and allow for more creative freedom, this is an essential aspect of the opens source philosophy, so I completely understand if people want to take that path. I welcome anyone who wants, though, to also open a PR and try to get the changes into the game, I think with git now it's easier than ever. I always try to work on those PRs as soon as I can, but of course it can take some time, it's important to think long-term I believe. And I'll admit that it can be difficult for me to find the balance between making it easy for the contributor and ensuring the best possible code quality. @Atrik E.g., I'd love to eventually work on the wall snapping you implemented a while ago, if you feel like it.

Just to clarify — R28 (Boiorix) already released on February 18, 2026. So there's no upcoming R28 to preview; you're already playing it!

I'm not particularly against of him to comeback but I don't think supremacist claims like saying black people, latins, women, muslims are inferior humans is "game psychology".  It's also true that gaming environment is super toxic speccialy in strategic teamplay game. So maybe is not a big deal for some ppl. Also, as far as I know he actually could join the lobby and play. But I guess he is not that smart after all... (But in fact I think he is roaming around using automute mod.) Also this:

I have actually looked around on github and wasn't very successful. I had figured someone would've made it, but the only mentions of it I could find were here on the forums. I'll look again, although I have never heard of Endovelico.   I would have to learn from scratch first, but it's something I could possibly do. Maybe add some flavor too, idk.

Good point. @Seleucids . Last year @Duileoga created new structure models and an initial idea for units; I ported them to the game and made some corrections. @Alisson Fabrini Baked the AO textures, refined some details, and implemented some best practices. Currently, the civilization is playable, but without much flavor, as we have many other civilizations to carry out these other processes, and the Jews will definitely not be the chosen people over others. LOL. If you want to use the materials already created, with proper attribution, you can easily create a mod for this civilization, but be sure to check out other very interesting civilizations in the same status.
