Title: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on April 15, 2015, 05:51:14 PM

I was playing with the Black Fleet Crisis a few days ago, and thought that the Yevethans do not have enough means to pose a threat to the NR, not to mention the other GCs they are present.
So I decided to give them a few more stuff.

Disclaimer:
This mod is a custom modification and was neither created nor is it supported by the Thrawn's Revenge team.
The Thrawn's Revenge team is not responsible for any negative effects from installing these files
nor can they be held responsible for fixing any issues which arise from them.

With 0.9, I came to a crossroad. Before this time, my submod was compatible with Vulcanus' submod, but with the Turrets, that's changed... So I had a hard time thinking: "What should be the right thing to do?"
I think Vulcanus' submod is too good to let myself the luxury of being uncompatible with it, but I also couldn't demand players using it, in case they didn't liked the changes. So I found a solution. WHY NOT GO TROUGH BOTH PATHS?

And so I did it. I made two versions of 0.9, and I always will from now on.
The normal mod requires an unmoded ICW, what everyone should have had at a point.
But if you use Vulcanus' submod, use the compatibility folder's content
V 1.0 Beta:
-Features:

-Duskhan League Playable in Empires at War, From the Ground Up, Imperial Civil War and Art of War Galactic Conquests.

-All new Optional GC: Galactic Civil War.(and some more)

this GC is pushing the game's engines to the limit(and sometimes beyound. please keep this in mind.)
This is a unification of the Imperial Civil War, Art of War and Essence of War GCs with some extra. :)
This map is contains all the Imperial Civil War planets, all of the Empire of the Hand planets, the 6 planets(3 planet+3 Transistory mist) of the Hapes Consortium, the 6 planets of the Duskhan league, but also added Belsmuth II and Gravan VII for the Warlords from Hunt for Zsinj, and changed  Garos IV's rulers from the Imperial Remnants to the Warlords, so Zsinj's planets are more unified than they were before, but also opening an additional route to Dathomir.
But these weren't the only planets coming from Hunt for Zsinj. New Alderaan also appears, separated from all other NR holdings, only one of the Transistory Mists connecting to it, so you would have a hard time holding it. Galantos also appears from Black Fleet Crysis and From the Ground Up, connected to Byss giving the DL access to that oh so important central planet.
Also because of this GC I made a HV gun buildable at Doornik because it is a very important planet for the DL from now on. 5 Hyperspace lanes meet here. Mrisst(neutral but close to NR) from the north, Oristrom(EotH) from the West, Pantolomin(IR) from the East and ILC-905(DL) and N'zoth(DL) from the south. Not to mention this is one of the only two entrance to DL territory.

With this GC comes a repair to the Hunt for Zsinj to the bug where you could not enter a planet if playing Zsinj, rendering a GC unbeatable.

I already planning the V 0.9, which would give the DL turrets too...
I just want some feedback about mainly balance and AI functionality first.
If everything works fine and balanced well enough; I will start the work with the turrets.

I am happy to see more going to the DL. I argued strongly and longly for their expansion and inclusion as playable. Glad to see others that likethose maniac xenophobes.
A few notes, the DL did have battle platforms(at least according to Force Heretic I and a few offhand references in source books.) So golans(at least golan Is )  make sense to have.
They did have CR 90s but Nil Spaar used the Thrustship Aramadia to travel to Coruscant. He used a CR90 to scout the cluster in the first days after they overthrew the Imperials.
The mines are a good idea as the materials needed for their ships were mined, the Yevetha had a thriving metal works industry.
SPMAT Tanks, Chariots, and IDTs would also fit Tech they would have, thus giving them more variety on the ground.
The DL capital ships should be slightly better than standard ships of same design as the Yevetha were known to improve as well as copy the designs. Finally you could add the EX-F or Sorrannon class dreadnaught as a Sovereign or Belator to represent it in future.
Just some thoughts. Cheers. Looking forward to this when my laptop gets fixed as well as Vulcanus balance and flavor mod after 2.2 releases

Thank you for the ideas. Implementing some of them at the moment. I shall not modify the stats for the ships however. For now, they are good as they are, because currently the game is quite balanced this way. If I would strengthen their ships, I could throw all that starting forces for BFC GC and would give me too much work for now.
At the moment, the first priority is to give the DL a higher variety of units, while trying to maintain balance.

BTW: I just added your name into the credits for the ideas :)

Well I'm genuinely excited to see a playable Duskhan League FTGU campaign. I really need to try this out when I can.

For the compatibility with my submod, I'll look forward to integrating this to my next release when I get back to modding ICW, if you are OK with that.

My current personal ICW folder is a mess that isn't compatible with, well, anything.

It's difficult when every time I get on my computer, there's 4-8 new commits for Ascendency, and right now they're focusing on the EoTH/PA, which both were in DESPERATE need, so there's TONS of things to go through and test if they're working correctly.

Which BTW, thus far, EoTH is a blast to play as.  Possibly the most balanced of all the factions in terms of their non-capitals.

So far the CR 90 is the only space bug. Ground bug is troops loaded into the dropships can't move when dropped out again.(Raptor troops have the same bug in base mod)

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on May 10, 2015, 07:02:33 PM

this bug does not come from the units. These come from the terrain. I noticed this bug in unmodded ICW countless times that my AT-AT stuck in the landing zone...
You can imagine my face.
The CR 90, as i already told, had been fixed and the currently downloadable version is already contains the fixed files.

Quote from: kucsidave on May 06, 2015, 07:21:19 PM

All right, I just updated everything so the CR90s should fire from now on...

But what about the balance?
Does it feel good to be playing as the DL, or you feel under- or over- powered?
I am also thinking about giving them a buildable HVgun with the limitation of 1/planet because of the Imperial Civil War GC. It is quite hard to do anything against a sovereign class without one...

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: Lord Xizer on May 11, 2015, 01:04:41 AM

They feel solid as a faction. They start economically very weak which is interesting because you can't replace losses as easily which i like.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on May 11, 2015, 10:26:07 AM

I'm glad.
Currently, I'm working on ICW GC balance. It is very hard, because the Black Fleet Crisis starting fleet was too OP, considering that there is only two way out.
(I didn't wanted to connect Coruscant and N'zoth because that would cause an instant Pride of Yevetha vs Lusankya, however that might be a sollution)
I currently gave the Yevetha the BFC's ISDs and VSDs as starting forces, which made sense for me.
They just captured the Black Fleet, but instead of waiting, this time they attacked(or got retaliated by IR if you want) immediately.
They have no thrustships.

In Era 1, they will not be able to build D Type trifoil fighters or thrustships, as the technology haven't yet existed. They will get the fighters in Era 2 and the Thrustships in Era 3.
The capitals will also spawn tie fighters instead of trifoils in era 1

I also plan to make Nil Spaar a return capacity, and considering the said info about thrustships, this will look like this:
Nil once used CR90s, so in Era 1 he will start with one and In Era 3 he will change to his Thrustship.

What do you think?

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: Lord Xizer on May 11, 2015, 11:36:38 AM

Sounds like a good set of ideas, though that will certainly make the DL very vulnerable in its infancy, especially as they are in between the Hand and the Remnant right near their centers of power and with a microscopic economy too. The challenge should be quite interesting

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on May 11, 2015, 11:44:00 AM

In fact, no.
In empires at war GC, they will start with Era 3 to keep the Balance, and they will also get HVguns from Era 1, so their weaknesses coming from their missing thrustships in early stages will be replaced, also boosting their ability to defend, and their overall strength in later Eras.
Yes, their fighters will be weak in Era 1; but hey, it makes complete sense for me.
They just captured the black fleet. They need time to invent the new stuff.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on June 12, 2015, 01:47:15 PM

With the ICW 2.2 the DL will become playable and will be polished out, so my mod lost it's very purpouse. I will not come out with 1.0 as I planned, because I don't have to. A few more month and you will have a playable DL one way or another :D

The very limited list of planets where the DL will be able to build the Hypervelocity gun. (the number of planets may increase)
Bastion, Bilbringi, Byss, Dathomir, Denon, Fondor, Kuat, N'zoth, Sullust and last but not least: Yaga Minor.
Only 1/ planet. This will make it a real deal to defend, and you can not rely only on this OP weapon :D

Post by: kucsidave on August 13, 2015, 01:21:59 PM

Ah, I see.
But about what I red, they could not understand it even after 12 years of reverse engineering, and the DL don't really want to change eras, so as good it could be for a brand new era 5 unit class as Sorannan-class star destroyers with the glory as a new hero unit, sadly there is no way to implement them so far.

If I can find a solution for that, Then I might add it in a later version, but it would require an another brand new model.
I already need new models for the Scouts, the Plex troopers and the Holonet Hackers and I have no modeler.

Why not use the Sovereign model minus the super laser ability? Also tge main ships of the line should have stronger shields and faster speeds than other factions as the Yevetha didn't just copy, they improved and their energy cores produced twice the output with half the energy of standard cores in ships according to the Black Fleet trilogy. This could be balanced by slower and more expensive construction of copied ships(Imp and NR designs)

Perhaps instead of prison camps, how about extermination camps? Serve similar purpose of getting rid of native population and use of slaves. Diplomacy should be non existent though...

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
Post by: kucsidave on August 14, 2015, 11:06:32 AM

In fact, I already started to play with shield strength and speed, as much as autoresolve rating to make it count there too.
About the extermination camps... those sound too much like an Auschwitz kinda thing, and I do not wish to cause any kind of distress for certain people.
I think i will stay with the Slave camps.

Edit: all right, I might have some difficulty with the slave camps, as the AI doesn't really want to admit it's existence, therefore getting into a huge disadvantage so I will not implement it into the game in any form

Could do something like PA. Give them access to certain tech on planets they take.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
Post by: kucsidave on August 15, 2015, 08:33:46 AM

I was thinking about that, but that's the Balance and Flavor submod's specialty and I don't want to steal ideas, and my sole purpose to polish DL is to give a unique feeling, and this would make it too much PA.
The think I'm planning though is that create a gameplay style what is somewhere between the IR and the NR, which are polar opposites, while in the meantime cr4eating something unique.
That's why I chose the CR90, the Nebulon B-2 and the MC 40a next to the Dreadnaught and the other imperial stuff, and the same goes to the ground too. I made sure to carefully pick every and each one of the aspects to make it unique while maintaining balance.
For example the unique Hijacker unit will have a current limit of 1, lifetime limit of 3 and can only be built on N'zoth.
Holonet Hackers will only be buildable in Nil Spaar's location, however without build limit, so you can stack them and use them when needed. This way you have to decide if you need more, or you can have the luxury to send Nil to other places too.

an another balance method was to remove the AT-ATs deploy troopers ability and replace it with power to weapons. This way you get something for the loss of some infantry, keeping the unit well balanced because while it is more effective against heavy units, now it's anti infantry capabilities dwindled, requiring different troopers to guard it.

I hopw by now you see where I was trying to go with the DL.

In other news

-The DL shall not appear in essence of war, because giving them 6 planets would be an overkill, while having less would make them too limited. Either braking balance or being unplayable...

-I am going to release a pre-beta version without some of the new stuff for some chosen people, as soon as I am done with everything else because I don't have anyone whom would create models for me at the moment, so they can all give me reviews about the playability and balance.

A hundred words in six:
Polished DL submod 1.0 Beta done!
It is only beta because there are no new Models and Icons.

I will let all of those whom Supported me all the way here have it as soon as the other one is done too!
Only the Vulcanus version is done yet :P
I have done it first because Xizer uses that version, and I actually gave him a uniqe pre-beta release, what only the two of us saw.

Well, it's open source, which means it's something I COULD learn.  I boot to Windows literally maybe 1% of the time anymore.  With the exception of Steam for ICW and Ascendency, if something doesn't run in linux, I don't use it anymore (reason I didn't mind upgrading to 10).  So learning anything that runs only in Windows isn't possible for me.

Post by: tlmiller on August 31, 2015, 11:34:04 PM

1 suggestion, DL should have some form of AA unit to counter the NR & EoTH.  AT-AA would be logical, but AAC-1 would be more unique and more in line with the overall mobility theme of the DL units.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on September 01, 2015, 04:22:20 AM

The freerunners do have AA guns installed. That was their purpose for adding them to DL. If you think AAC would serve better, I might switch the two, but the freerunners made much more sense to me.
When I added units, I tried to add units that made sense, and the freerunners were sold by a bankrupt company whom sold them to anyone having credits.
The AAC? not so much...

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: tlmiller on September 01, 2015, 09:16:53 AM

OH, the pirate skiff has AA?  I never realized, I just figured it was the same pirate skiff you could build in default TR that's less than useless.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: Pali on September 01, 2015, 10:07:34 AM

The freerunner is the NR's best land unit per the cost, I'd say (and for this reason I'd be hesitant to give them to another faction - it's a faction's signature unit created by the mod already).  FAR superior to the T2-B in firepower, similar cost, effective against most targets, fast enough to get out when outgunned.  If you play NR and these aren't the bulk of your land forces, especially early on, you're not doing it right. ;)

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: Mat8876 on September 01, 2015, 10:26:39 AM

I generally don't use them I prefer using a squad of AAC and T-2B's early on, Using the AAC's for anti-infantry and T-2B to increase the squads firepower for i.e. 2-M repulsor tanks. Also the forerunner has no shields so it struggles if in open fighting.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: Pali on September 01, 2015, 05:56:36 PM

No shields, but plenty of armor.  A freerunner can actually take more damage than a T2-B, at least in a straight fight without kiting, and its weapons are FAR more effective against armor than the T2B's (it has the T2-B's paired blasters as well as a laser cannon).  Two squads of freerunners will take down an AT-AT with the loss of one or two speeders - T2-Bs will get pulverized trying that - and infantry squads aren't much of a threat either.

The freerunner essentially bridges the gap between the T2-B and the T3-B, serving as a medium tank.  It only gets into trouble when matched in numbers by heavier units, like AT-ATs or XR-85s.  Keep a specialist in your force to perform repairs between engagements, and they're quite capable of survival.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on September 02, 2015, 04:55:14 AM

I really like freerunners as well to be honest, and adding them for the DL was a more strategic sense than AACs. First, as the lore said the corporation producing it sold them to anyone with the credits. Second, as Pali said they are multi purpose units which the DL required, not to mention that they have AAs too. They really are a force to reckon with, which the DL would definitely use if they have ever get their hands on any of them.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: tlmiller on September 08, 2015, 12:19:24 AM

Now that I know they're the freerunner, not the pirate skiff, I'm using them.  Those working with the IFT-X offer very fast response that can take down many units (although get crushed by TL towers) due to their ability to move in and strike so quickly.  I'm liking it.  I will say, the MPTL is HORRIBLE working with the AT-AT.  Shoots the stupid AT-AT's every time.  Definitely not liking that unit being used unless it's given longer vision so that it doesn't have to park so close to the army and blow up all the AT-AT's (not an issue for NR since their tanks are all much shorter than AT-AT's).

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on September 08, 2015, 08:03:23 AM

you forget that the DL have scout infantry too. They have been added to the game with the sprint ability with a reason. they can quickly scout ahead for the MPTLs.
That's how I designed the DL. You have to use your units in combinations to be most effective.
The IFT-X(saber tank) - Freerunner combo is one of them.
The MPTL works best with the Scouts
The AT-AT and AT-ST or AT-PT works too good to be disturbed, so I did not. IMO AT-PT is quite effective against Air units too.
IDT and Hijackers are an another very useful combo. Those air transports can quickly carry them where they expect them the least. Sadly the hijackers had trouble with the camo so they didn't had it in your version, but in the next one they will have it.

I am currently working on a new GC called Galaxy at War.
It would practically unite the Imperial Civil War, Art of War and Essence of War GCs
So practically ICW with playable EOTH and DL. The Hapes Consortium present as an additional Non-Playable faction.
100+ planets.

Title: Re: Polished Duskhan League
Post by: kucsidave on December 27, 2015, 03:17:58 PM

yup... I found some more planets to add...
The next version of GCW will contain
    Ilum: Will connect only to Quethold, held by the Warlords or will be neutral

    Adumar: Held by the NR, it will connect to Pesitin, Nirauan and Borosk. The Borosk-Nirauan and Pesitin-Nirauan routes will be replaced by the new routes.

    Tsoss Beacon: Held by the Warlords, it will only connect to the Warlord held Hakassi.

    Nal Hutta: Held by the New Republic, will connect to Bothawui and Ylesia

    Ylessia: Held by the New Republic, will connect to Nal Hutta and Kashyyyk

The reason behind these planet's ownership is mostly balancing.
Ilum will only be connected to quethold because in my experience the Hand was owerrun too soon by the PA from the north and the DL from the south. This easy conquest will give them an extra income, building capacity and hopefully a mean to survive if combined with Adumar.
Adumar's main reason to add a bumper between the Alignment and the Hand. That planet would also serve as a quick income boost for the Hand what it most definitely need.
Tsoss Beacon: This place is just a second line in the Hakassi front of the remnant, only accessable from Kuat. An extra easy conquest for them, yet not a direct connect. I've been thinking to connect it to Khomm too, but that would put too much importance to that world.
Nal Hutta and Ylesia serve only one reason: quick access to Kashyyyk from Bothawui, so you can reach the oh so lonely New Alderaan quicker.
Other changes might countain that the acces to Dathomir from Wayland might vanish for balance.

All right, new update. Actually it came out yesterday, but I only have the time now to explain.
It basically makes most of DL's units more expensive and need a little bit more time to create, but gives them more shield strength, shield replenish rate, for some ships speed(for some very significant).
To counter this a new special structure is buildable on Z'fell only: Z'fell mining. A normal mining facility with increased cost, but gives a huge credit income bonus early on. This will be esential for survival.

All right everyone time for some news from me and this submod. I will only continue it after ICW 2.2 came out. With the tonns of new units the team is planning to bring in, I will be able to make a much more diverse DL and I really want to do that.
With the warlords it will be a real challange to make it unique with so many different playstiles the warlords will bring in, but I am sure that with suggestions from you and some hard work we will be able to give some justice for the DL.
In case the team expands the League too, then all hail the Th.Rev team, but since they have enough troubles with the warlords I seriously don't know if they will expand DL too, but I don't think so. Well, at least I hope they will.
The Yevetha are in serious need of some units if they want to qualify as a real threat.
One thing is for sure though. I really don't want to give DL buildable SSD, no matter what. Cannonically(ughhh... "legends" cannon) they did not had the will to build SSDs. They were happy with the Pride, and even after they lost it, they never really replaced it. They were more frigate focused, and when 2.2 comes out, I want to incorporate this into their distinct playstyle, including their tendency to go kamikaze.

Also there is only the one canon. Disney can space themselves into the Maw.
We could try some of our ideas for the DL that were originally the Warlord idea. Grenadiers, Caldorf Dreadnoughts and such perhaps, maybe even flame units as the DL were known for purging and cleansing genocides, which mean fire.

It is about the Galactic Civil War GC. Looks like there are so many planets and routes between them that after a time the Petroglyph engine struggles to keep up, and the game is crushing while saving, deleting the save file in the process if you save it to an existing one. But I think if I can make the list of "trade routes" smaller, It might be able to work. I just have to find some routes to replace.
For example, I already deleted the Dathomir-Wayland and the Selaggis-Garos routes, and punched in a Dathomir-Selaggis.
Since Garos was already connected to Dathomir and Selaggis to wayland, the new route looks like this:
Wayland-Selaggis-Dathomir-Garos.
Also thinking about changing Adumar from NR to Neutral because it is so far away from the main NR holdings.

Let me state this now, however I was deliberately pushing the Engine to it's limits by playing with DL on Admiral dif. And not expanding, so every neutral/Warlord planet has been distributed between the AIs. (and since I once as a test made it possible for myself to oversee the AI) I know that it uses trade routes very vigoriously, sending fleets back and forth, here and there, and multiple fleets at the same time. So I think that if I can cut it's possibilities, even just a little, It might be able to stabilize the game.

As much as it's possible to stabilize the game at least.  Not like the unmodded vanilla game is free of bugs.

Great news:
After posting those beautiful pics about Wedge, Delta agreed to help us out here with new unit models.
He is doing it in his free time, so please everyone say a big thank you to him!
Let me be the first: THANK YOU, DELTA!

Thanks Kucsidave. I look forward to getting to know everyone in this community more closely, and hope everyone continues to enjoy your sub mod as much as I have.

And the download link is up again.
While I was fixing the GC, I also fixed some errors, like Remnant's text messages about planet rewards and no more IR intro if you start with DL.

I shall try this mod, comrade.

edit: the only thing I noticed so far, the Pride of Yevetha spawns a ton of TIE/LN in the GC Empire at War but it still spawns the Trifoil D-Fighters. I'm using the compatibility mod and the hijacker skills aren't there; his skills show up in info but I can't use them.

But I will most possibly won't :(
I got a new job and it makes the following differences: 11 hours at work a day+ 2 days off a week but for a good payment...
But hey, I will finally have some money to spend :D

Hehehe, that's funny.  I just quit my job because they were asking me to do 12+ hours a day for 6 days a week at something that I wasn't hired for.  Decided they didn't pay me enough for how awful that job was.

You know, it's funny.  I enjoyed BOOT CAMP more than I enjoyed my assignment at the job I just quit.  That's how awful it was.
