Any chance Zsinj might get commandos and tge ersatz 181st he created

Latest patch I can recruit strang, but according to his description, he should unlock a special unit at his planet, this he does not do (ICW GC if it matters).

Storm Commando Saboteurs are working as they should. You need to recruit Strang first. After you've recruited him, you can build Storm Commando Saboteurs from ANY planet, as long as Strang is present. A similar dynamic is used for Zsinj and his pirate mercenary units (Z-95 MLs, Corellian Corvette variants, Interceptor frigates).

Lord Xizer: I quite like the idea of adding an impostor Fel 181st for Zsinj. I toyed with the idea of adding a clone sleeper cell Soontir Fel TIE Interceptor squadron to Pakrik Minor for EotH, but figured they would be close to unkillable with 12 Fels flying for the same squadron.

i can not play new republic in the "hunt for zinji" since i added it any ideas?

Vulcanus · « **Reply #124 on:** October 06, 2014, 02:51:34 AM »

That would be caused by the Greater Maldrood Hunt for Zsinj being named as the NR campaign, sorry about that.

This file should fix the issue:
https://mega.co.nz/#!hhMECK5L!EvM_O_dNO2hEZmDexh98AcAoHbgv4ghifVsrzN8asms

Paste in XML\Conquests\Zsinj.

This shouldn't affect anything else, so if you are not going to play Hunt for Zsinj as the NR, this file isn't necessary.

Awesome, also been playing Zsinj a lot lately. Much more interesting with the pirate forces added

the v-19 for the the pentastar alignment shows up as just a featureless icon with no fighter actually there.

They show up just fine to me and I haven't heard about unit icon issues from anyone else yet. It could be that your MT_Commandbar files (in Art\Textures) are not the correct ones. Both should be dated 20.8.2014. Alternatively, if you've done some personal modding, could be caused by that.

Agreed, mine are showing just fine.

Hate to mention it... but Jerec's still got a pop value of 15 in the new Pentastar_heroes.xml. $:-\$

Super Star Destroyers can be really elusive when they want to

Especially Jerec's Vengeance. It was sent to Byss but there are no further records of it specifically, though 3 Vengeance class SSDs are mentioned in Shadow Hand Fleet

I associate Jerec with this mod too much... my first thought on reading your post was "But Jerec died, why would his ship still be around?" My second thought was "*smack self*".

P.S. By the way, Vulcanus, I want to again give props for the expanded PA recruitment and hero work - it really gives the PA a sense of being rewarded for progression that I felt it was somewhat lacking compared to the other factions, which undergo significant fleet and hero changes from era to era while the PA remains stagnant. Kudos.

Gotta say Infinities GC is really good. One issue though, Thrawn and Krennal despised one another, wouldn't it make more sense for him to be on the other side of the fence? On the other hand he did double cross Isard and was awaiting punishment by Palps. He did also lend some forces to Thrawn in his offensive so maybe he is on the right side lol

You may be right. He had a reason to dislike both Thrawn and Fel, plus Pestage was likely still alive. I just figured that Krennel was always more of a follower than the rest of the warlords, and he wouldn't have yet established his Ciutric Hegemony by the time Isard is deposed in the infinities timeline soon after Brentaal.

Regarding Pestage and Fel Empire GC timeline: I just realized that both Palpatine and Fel would have Pestage (or his clone) as his advisor

.

Still I would never switch Krennel over to Palpatine's side since I quite like the big brute (as a character, not as a human-being) and that GC is not designed to be played as the IR due to the way EaW AI works.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #139 on:** October 10, 2014, 05:53:37 PM »

True...but then what about Zsinj? Wouldn't he still have to pick a side? He hadn't" officially" broken from the Empire yet and with Palps back he'd probably stay loyal for self preservation as he hadn't secured his position yet.

Krennal is an interestingcharacter yes
