Ok tyvm.
Bearus Aurelius  [author] Jun 1, 2024 @ 5:44pm 
I wouldn't recommend using both mods simultaneously @starverse. I think there would likely be some conflict as both have a lot of similarities.

Does this works with Boom's Great Philosophers?
Bearus Aurelius  [author] Apr 15, 2024 @ 12:43pm 
Glad you liked it @Cutha! As for compatibility with JNR's mods, that is certainly a possibility. I am looking at doing an update soon, so that may be something I can add.
Cutha Apr 14, 2024 @ 7:19pm 
Thanks for the mod :) Would you be able to add compatibility by way of adding GPP to JNR's buildings from his mod "District Expansion: Spirituality"?
Несмертный Джо Mar 13, 2024 @ 6:10am 
Ok, thank you! Yes, I forgot Ayn Rand(Alice Rosenbaum) :) :tq_cory:
Bearus Aurelius  [author] Mar 12, 2024 @ 3:48pm 
@Препод Thank you for the feedback! The lack of Russian philosophers is more due to my own ignorance unfortunately, but I am planning on doing a big update where I adjust balance and add a few more philosophers There is Ayn Rand of course but she did spend a lot of her life in America so I suppose she doesn't quite count.

Any Russians philosopher? Russians has made a huge contribution to existentialism. Berdyaev, for example.

@JeffJP247_ Yes, I am looking to create a version of this mod in the future that supports the Real Great People mod so that portraits can be used. And I totally agree, the portraits are fantastic.

Will there be portraits of all philosophers included in the future? That would make this mod 10x more appealing and fun! Thank you
