ATTENTION! Beta Testers! i am about to release the newest version of galciv writer too you please have at least 4.5 MB of space in your inboxes open when you read this, i will be releasing it periodically throughout the day, multiple times if i encounter any bounced back messages, you must remember to do the following with this version:

From Slothrop:

The main feature that can be announced to the testers are that it is supposed to handle AP and the Mod directories, and that there is now a Mods Manager. Also, it uses zip files for archiving purposes and for creating mods.

Remember to remind everyone to backup the following 4 directories before testing v2.0.0-alpha6 ... just in case:

drengin.net\galciv\Data\
drengin.net\galciv\Mods\
drengin.net\AltarianProphecy\Data\
drengin.net\AltarianProphecy\Mods\
