Status
The mod provides full screen reader accessibility for the Windows version of the game.
All official campaigns, maps and DLCs are supported. Multiplayer, community maps and campaigns are experimental due to the need for more testing.
I’m committing to maintain the mod to fix any remaining issues and keep up with game updates and DLCs.
