I haven't used vortex so not sure what additional features you'd want, but TW does have a third party mod manager that is pretty good: https://github.com/Kaedrin/warhammer-mod-manager

It was alright, but it certainly wasn't "innovative". It's concepts were, ahem, "borrowed" from Creeperworld, a series of games that any RTS fan should have played and are absolutely fantastic gems.

They have very little in common. Stellaris is far more strategic with a whole load of systems layered on top of each other to make it into a pretty broad GSG.

Sins is C&C in space. Tactical rather than strategic.

They're both fantastic games, but other than having spaceships in them they don't have much else in common. May as well compare Hearts of Iron to Company of Heroes.

It's an abomination, but I like that you are free to make it!

Just did a new Mint install yesterday and spent ages trying to figure out why steam was going bananas! Much joy.

It's really interesting to realise how strongly entrenched these are locally. The North East was obviously heavily dependent on the mining industries during the 19th and 20th centuries, and there are still a large number of smaller parades in towns across the region. Some of these are simply hijacked by the local miner paraders, such as Houghton Feast.

It is rather hilarious to see the contemporary participants, none of whom have ever stepped anywhere near a picket line let alone a coal or iron mine, and for whom historic industrial labour is at best a distant family memory passed down from prior generations. The role played by (still numerous) "Working Men's Clubs", where the pictures regalia tend to reside in between these events, would be interesting to explore. They are essentially drinking dens in deprived areas that remain insular and parochial even when they can hardly be described as isolated in the modern world. Places like Craghead, Grange Villa, where the hills have eyes

Interesting to see a post like this on here. Good stuff.
