That's odd i'd think there was a system supporting mods that solely affected normal game modes.

It'd also be kinda cool if players could set up private mmo servers and/or modes if they custom mod it for a subscription fee, dunno how do-able that is though.

Sounds complex... This isnt a server based game as far as I know.

It will always be possible, the real question is will it be allowed. I hope not, easily abused. High priority targets get changed to be larger or highlighted so they're easier to spot etc. For MMO mode it should be if any of your game files don't match the server, you're denied access. For regular MP it'd be fine I guess, outside of ladder.

We might add a feature to make custom hero and units - but these mods would need to be submitted to a team of reviewers and added with following patches. We might consider creating a team to review user created content for MMO and adding it for everyone to enjoy...we`ll see if this happens.

The first point I agree with absolutely 100%, imbalance in a mode where you can severely affect your opponents for games to come is just not okay.

I love the idea of a team dedicated to reviewing user created content, especially if (when) you move on to creating other games with most of your team. As it is a lot of older games I play have 'unofficial' patches that you have to have in order to play with most people, it's a real hassle. I really think you should consider something like that, there are plenty of people myself included that would love to be able to help out with adding to the game officially.

So new units could be implemented with ease?, I'd like to see how this turns out ;p.

Also love the idea of a second copy of DoF for mods.
