A long journey begins!

This year, we will start a project we have long waited for,

a Fan-Expansion Pack for Galactic Civilizations II : Twilight of the Arnor.

It will be a community Mod, so the whole community can participate on the development.

The first stone, a mod containing a lot of content we developed over the last years will be released parallel to the Mod Metaverse and will be the first mod which will be available in the Mod Metaverse. On this mod, we will build up the Expansion pack!


Let me lead you inside the backgroundstory of the Fan-EP:



Sometimes, a small group of the United Planets Member of the milkyway galaxy decided to escape the never ending war by sending out colonyships to a nearby galaxy. Driven by hope to find a new place to live without Conflicts, they settled down and started discovering the Andromeda Galaxy. Noone expected falling directly into a Hornet's Nest...the Andromeda Galaxy was dominated by 2 Races, struggling each other for thousands of years. The old rivals recognized the new galactic players and try to convince them for there sides.
Strong propaganda tear the former UP members apart and each aligned with a side, joining the intergalactic war, again.
The steadfast neutrality of the Terrans, is your destiny, to bring peace to this galaxy...

well from this on, it is left to the community, how it continues, we plan to start one of many Seasons, like in TV, handling of stories and incidents of your imagination!


Here's a little log of what extra-content will come to you:

Ultra galaxymap predefined 4x4 +8 immense maps predefined, each representing a sector, 4 for each quadrant + 8 borderland

New weapon effects and systems, each race gets different weapon/defense advantages.

New models

New spacetextures

New mainmenu

New userinterface

New shiptemplates for each race

2 brand new races, the Asa & Vanir

New modules: energy reactors

New models for shield, armor, point defense, sensors, life support


GalCiv II : New Frontiers will be the never ending(? you decide ) future of Galactic Civilizations II !

Interesting, I was wondering which version of TA does this require, will the heros be the Terrans again, will the two new races be playable? Also I wanted to make a map based on the Andromeda galaxy.

It will start with TA 2.0, and yeah I have a fable for my species so the terrans will be the protagonist. But what happens decides the community. The 2 new races will replace 2 of the old ones.

I could make a new race (with custom ship style and tech tree) and send you the files.

it's not the matter of this kind of content it's the matter of racemovies.

 

if you like to do shipstyles then come by I-Mod and when the project starts into public, you can design some for the minor races, we want to completely replace the minors, and give them more content like the original ones. All to the right time !

If two races are gonna be replaced, i think the races should be Altarians (They look like humans... and they're Altarian Resistance, so they're a minor race ) and...  uh... Thalans. Because i don't like them. Really dunno about the second race.

But i'd like to see some sort modmod or two with one could replace the new races with the replaced if one doesn't like the new ones. Or just one if one of the news doesn't feel good. Might break campaign but then most people just play sandbox. Or one could aply the mods after playing campaign if there's one...

Weapon effects look very good.

well I have to think about several reasons for replacing a race I'm not sure at the moment, I think I will replace the races which do not fit into the new saga due to there attitudes.

All looks great so far Stefan!  Wish i could help out, but I have no skills you need other than giving pats on the back.  Though I tinker with XML files and I like to write stories, I doubt these would be of use to you much.  Im hoping the research tree is fantastic and long.  I usually play with very slow tech as i hate getting a new weapon tech 3 turns after the first one haha.

It's not just a mod, it's a fan expansion. The demo is coming out soon (as in very soon). It's been put together very well by the whole I-Mod team. I think that the best part is the *cough* Vanir tech tree! *cough* *cough*

(what? can you blame me for putting in a good word for myself, Stefan)

I thought that this mod was dead until I read what you said.
