HELLO KUDOSIANS!
I have completed version 1.00 of the Kudos 2 MegaMiniMod Yay! Cheering! Woo!. I had intended to make this not long after Kudos 2 came out, but life got in the way. The file is a 2mb, self-extracting RAR that will override a large number (~140) of Kudos 2’s files. This mod contains every reasonable mod I could find on the Kudos 2 forums, plus much, MUCH more.
Special thanks to Corylea, jennikj, Parsec, sambrookjm, Severian for their contributions.
SuperSpecial thanks to Cliffski for making such an awesome and awesomely moddable game!
