Rising Tide puts the development of New Horizons at a cross roads. I see multiple ways forward but I want to known what you think of the options. Rising Tides provides the best opportunity for me to revisit and adjust some of the core aspects of New Horizons. Even if you're not a fan of the current version of New Horizons I want to hear from you because this is a unique opportunity for me to potentially radically change New Horizons in a way that may resolve your concerns.

I could break New Horizons up into multiple mods. For example, "New Horizons: Virtues" and "New Horizons: Military" could be two mods, one with just the Virtue changes and the other with just the military unit changes. If I move parts of New Horizons over to Rising Tide at a time instead of all at once it won't take as long. This approach would also allow people who like the Virtues but not the Military changes to play with only the parts that they want.

One advantage of doing a mod that impacts every part of the game is that it has the opportunity to do some really strange far reaching mechanics. I could introduce a mechanic where certain buildings provide "electricity capacity" and if the city's population was greater than the "electricity capacity" you lose a bit of energy. Without endorsing that specific idea, would you want to see more weird stuff like that in New Horizons?

What does "New Horizons" mean to you? Should the Rising Tide version use the same or different name?

I know that not everyone likes every aspect of New Horizons. I want to identify which parts are most controversial so I can evolve them and which parts are popular and should be kept as similarly as possible.
