A Mod means Modification So a modded Glest is a version of glest that has been changed for the users liking

It could include something such as a new faction (Which is typically what mod for an RTS game would involve) or in the case of an FPS game, it might add new dynamics such as capturable objectives or it could add new weapons.

However, more specifically, in the terms of a mod for glest, that typically means a faction.

Yep , mod = modification so you basically just tweak it a little or a lot depending on what you want the game to do for you

Basically a mod can also be...well a a mod/faction, a tileset, a map... Oh wait, or not.

Kinda funny, this is somewhat related to the other thread.

Basically, a mod is something that you install that changes or modifies the gameplay.  On other sites, the term can mean just about anything, but our definition is generally a little narrower here.  For the purposes of Glest, a mod usually means a new faction or a tech tree.  A faction is an independent groups of related units, and a tech tree is a group of factions that can play with/against each other.  For example, the default tech tree in Glest is Magitech, and its factions are Magic and Tech.  Technically, tilesets and scenarios could also be classified as mods, but we generally prefer to list them separately.

Mod means Modification like making changes to the game to how you like it, like everyone else said

Okay, the creator of the topic received answer to her/his (?) question. I'm gonna lock this topic, to prevent the mod=modification posts
