Streamlined

What is the Streamlined Mod?

Lords of Xulima confronts the player with a bit of a rocky start. Many first-time players are confused by the amount of mechanics and the punishing nature of the game (hello critical fails!). Streamlined smoothens out the curve by making the first few hours a bit more forgiving. Additionally, mechanics that encouraged weird (and often boring) behaviour have been toned down. But this also means less exploiting of game mechanics to make the late-game trivial, so beware!
