Amandanarve have you uploaded the changes by any chance?

Have there been any updates on this?

I have not yet uploaded the changes as I am waiting for Crymsons OK. However, I am about to message him about it. On a side note, I have two versions of the changed mod, one which includes Rise of The Endless instead of Scions, and one which further superpowers the Rise traits, like starting the game with 100000 dust, more movement speed, larger area of influence, more tonnage. Basically, ones overpowered, the others ridiculous.

Very nice, especially the Combo Add-On. Thx for the good work!

Any updates to the Combo mod?

Here is my own combo mod, Combo Pluss.

I don't think these mods on this thread will be updated any longer.

"Wow sounds awesome, i got the Pirate appearance mod, my doc folder is in my one drive, followed instructions to install, and nothing in my mods in game, so went to my documents that isnt one drive and copied the endless space folder from one drive and repeated the process, still nothing, sorry if this is a bother, just really want me pirate ships ARrr"





Sorry just figured it out, had to put it in the disharmony folder... Doh, found it in game under mods, selected it, and it restarted the game, now its not there.

The strategic weapons mod is still a WIP as is requires quite alot more changes than I was expecting, overall right now it includes about 40 new techs providing the new particle beam, plasma projector and Heavy missile techs, and a number of new defensives to boot, that requires alot of icons and a pile of testing so it'll be a bit yet.

It basically provides a number of new interactions between offense and defense, probably going to be adding some new battlecards as well. For example Heavy missiles take up alot more space and take longer to reload but shrug off standard antimissile fire, still working on the look and feel of them but so far they seem to make for an interesting choice versus standard missiles.

Nice, let me know if you want a second set of hands, because I need to learn this kind of thing when I work on Tau in my own mod.

Here you will find some simple mods which while not at all ambitious I hope they can fill a niche in the Modding community.

All modders are welcome to use anything they find in my mods freely.



Pirate Appearance Built on game ver. 1.0.46

Ver 1.1 added replacement model for incorrect Pirate Dreadnought

I have hunted through the mods available on these forums and have not found this done elsewhere, I apologize in advance if this simply replicates previous work but I thought it was worth putting out there for people to enjoy.

This mod makes the pirate faction's ships available for use as an appearance for a custom faction. It does not alter the gameplay whatsoever or the game balance in any way. Due to system limitations it will not appear on the appearance dropdown but if you start with the pirate faction and set the affinity and traits as you see fit you will have a custom faction which has the pirate appearance.

Installation instructions are in the zip file

Playable Pirates VER 2.0 Built on Game Ver. 1.0.46

First of all huge credit goes to Jamesyoung79 and his excellently structured Sectoid mod, whose work was a tremendous help in my development of this mod.

Now you can play as the pirate faction. The pirate faction affinity provides the following effects, +50% bonus to industrial production due to extensive use of slave labor, +25% bonus to dust production from black-marketeering and drug running, +3 hero capacity as the pirates accept any hero while providing great rewards and freedoms to all heroes in their employ, pirates attack without restraint and without thought of "Retreat" and thus that battle card is not available to them.

Note you may find that the pirate faction is not particularly well liked and can expect to be facing war on one or more fronts at most times.

I have playtested this faction extensively and while opinions may vary I find them reasonably balanced providing challenging play even in normal mode games.

Update: Version 2.0 released, completely rewritten with modular code and redesigned to be used as both a playable faction and an AI opponent.

Now includes the colored warnings, planets, exploitations, and anomalys from Evil Tactician's excellent Imperium Aeterna Mod, all credits thereto.

Also includes Dagoberts Alternativ Galaxy Generator code, all credits and appreciation thereto.

Installation instructions are in the zip file.

Imperium Aeterna Upgraded with Pirate Appearance Built on game ver. 1.0.46

Per request from the forums I am providing a version of Pirate Appearance that can be dropped straight into Imperium Aeterna, this version does not include the imperium Aeterna Mod whcih should be downloaded at http://www.manapool.co.uk/endless-space-imperium-aeterna-mod/

If you use this with imperium Aeterna please be sure to direct any problems here, any issues caused by the merger are my fault and not those of Evil Tactician.

Not: do not attempt to use this version of the mod standalone as it will not function.

Simply unzip this archive into the ImperiumAeterna mod folder and overwrite any files it wants to.

Scions of the Endless Built on game ver. 1.0.46 (Trait Mod)

The Scions of the Endless walk the stars and soon their enemies shall tremble at their tread.

Contains the new Traits included in my Genetics Lab mod and also includes additional tiers for most of the original game traits.

I have made every effort to balance this mod, all new tier costs are increased by a factor equating to the amount each level increases in power.

Please provide feedback about the balance of this mod so that I might improve upon it.

Rise of the Endless Built on game ver. 1.0.46 (Cheat Mod)

The Endless rise again and the very stars tremble at their coming.

This mod is identical to the Scions of the Endless mod, however this mod has been altered to satisfy those who want to play with any combination of traits they see fit.

This mod is in no way balanced nor is it intended to be, it is up to you to use your discretion to create a satisfying game experience.
