Well I played the game a few weeks, Enjoy it much... Tried getting online and it gives me "disconected from ironclad" message when i try to login... So I gave up trying to have some online play...

Besides that, i went out of the game update link, and i got a version 1.5 now i believe.. so... Looking on whatelse I can do to have some fun with this game I stumbled upon a very promicing feature -"mods!" So, I went through a link this site provided for modding. It shows 5 pages of some mods. I picked the ones I wanted to try (beefed up capitals and extra planet types mods) Downloaded them, and couldnt figure out where to stick the files for it to work. I read through the forums and after a failed attempt, found a post where it told me to go in the game, options, mods, and mod file path... It told me a location that I couldnt even see (with hidden alowed) i manually typed the location and extracted the folder there. (the file path is this for me: c:\users\hp_administrator\appdata\local\ironcladgamessins of a solar empire\mods) just as it said in forums.. *Except manually I wasnt able to find them at all*

  IT WORKED! ....so i thought... After loading the game the mod list is stil very empty I restarted my pc even still nothing.. Maybe the mods i got are out dated for version 1.5? If so where can I find the up to date ones? Im very disapointed on how difficult this is... Dont know what else to do.. Help guys!!!
