Well, the mod always crashes on startup, but on a far more outdated nightly version, the game do start, but I can't do any campaign runs.
First problem which the log gives me is that something about the Cydonia research, the error says "Cydonia research have dependencies, but the cost is not zero! This is not allowed!"
Second, on the old nightlies, the error is something about segmentation error, which however I cannot detect the problem.
Hopefully this helps, and no rush, I'm waiting patiently for this, such a cool mod and lotsa resources to get from.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
