It's a Kickstarter stretch goal, so this gameplay mode will be added later on. When they add it, I am pretty sure that I will play in this mode only, since it offers extended & enhanced gameplay [IE. looooooooong & epicly fun games!]. 
Anyway, you can read about it here: http://thatwhichsleeps.gamepedia.com/Endless_Mode

...Is that going to be the long-term home of the wiki? It's really not a fun site to browse - Adblock takes out some of the formatting, making it impossible to read, but disabling adblock gets me bombarded with ads.

As the main wiki contributor I'm curious what your problem is. I use adblock as well, but I haven't had any problems with the formatting.
This wiki is what we are using for the game unless we get more complaints. This is the first I've heard about it at least. There's also an in game wiki along the lines of Civopedia.

I guess only KDG knows the proper answer to your question. I don't know too much about the wiki sites, which one is the best anyway?

A dead tree manual.

I've still got my Dominions 3. manual, because it's _THAT_ awesome and well detailed.

Ya know, I started looking into it, and I know what the problem was... but not what exactly happened.

The problem was that Firefox either wasn't loading the background image, wasn't properly caching the background image, or was failing to properly apply the background image:

After I dug up the link to the background image and loaded it separately, Firefox must've managed to cache it correctly because it now shows up just fine.

I hope my problems with the gigantic pile of ads without adblock are fairly explanatory, though - those don't leave a good impression.

[i2amroy]

Yeah, I'd probably be ok with the ads at the bottom, but the pop-up ad and the ad at the top really makes it feel a lot more like "hey I put this shitty fan site together for my internet browser game" than "this is the official wiki for the awesome game we made". Personally I usually disable my ad block on sites that I'd like to support to help them with revenue and all, but that's got so many obtrusive ones that the idea is pretty out of the picture at the moment.

...aaaaaaaand here is Project Update 5-4-2015.

[lijacote]

I wish the images loaded. If someone has the images saved elsewhere, can you post them?

[gimli]

Here you go.

Finally...Project Update 6-1-2015!

Finally...Project Update 6-1-2015!

TL;DR:  We bit off more then we can easily chew, so it's going to take awhile to get all the stuff we promised in kickstarter into the game.

[gimli]

Yeah, I am pretty sure that the v1.0 release date will be pushed back to Q3 or even Q4.
Anyway...more info about the delay:
"The last month has been a strange one - I had expected to be away for 10 days but it has unfortunately ended up being closer to double that. In addition, problems with the data structure and back-end (which is essentially the entire "game") continued for weeks before I had to leave leading up to a botched release of the Mod Tools to the Mod Backers. The game is simply so much more complex now than it ever was that the "little additions" grew too large for the underlying simplicity - we're in the process of fixing this now."

[nenjin]

Disappointing but not surprising. I kind of dialed my hype back once the forums opened up, so I keep this game at the back of my mind for the most part.

[Lapoleon]

You forgot to mention the most important part of the update: debate assassins are now a thing.

[Mephansteras]

It's a kickstarter game. The last thing I ever expect when I back a game is that it's going to be released in a timely fashion. :p

As long as we get a quality product in the end, I really don't care.

I don't remember if I posted it, but I did predict a christmas release.

All the best for KDG.
