About this mod Author’s original text

Skilled NPCs

A very simple mod that makes all enemies play additional cards every turn. Thats it. This is intended to make the game harder. If you don't want the game to be harder, this isn't the mod for you.

This mod may not work in multiplayer, it is untested. However, it should work

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
