YOU USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

By installing Mods for Pioneers of Pagonia, you are changing the official game files and modifying your game experience from the original intended product developed and published by Envision Entertainment GmbH. Keep in mind that they won't be able to provide any official technical support for your game. Changing the files of your game can create bugs, cause instability of the game client or even damage your save file. This means that if anything goes wrong after applying Mods (like black screens or game crashes) the EE support team will not be able to help you until you reset all the changes.
