Balance & Flavor submod for Imperial Civil War 2.1

[Vulcanus]

I've been thinking a lot in this statement, and however that would be really cool, and I love the Night Hammer but... Wouldn't the Razor's Kiss make more sense?
I know, I know It had been destroyed, but still.

It's just a name. I figured that without buildable SSDs the player will appreciate having respawning Zsinj in Era 4 and the Night Hammer (or whatever name Zsinj would use for a black SSD.) is a convenient excuse for that.

Im just stoked to get hold of the Warlords. Any chance to include the Providence class carrier, i know the pa have a hero with one, love that ship. Also thanks again for doing this sumbmod Vulcanus, and is your name a reference to Cpt Nemo's island?

[Pali]

We can't give Zsinj the Night Hammer - he might actually use it effectively, and then where would our plot bunnies be?

Well that would be good reference indeed, but it actually refers to the Avro Vulcan.

Well Zsinj fell victim to his own plot bunnies in Gara Petothal and her astromech sabotage of Iron Fist.

Yes, but King of the Droids was cool.

[Lord Xizer]

Yes, but King of the Droids was cool.

This is true and as plot bunnies go, it was believable

Yes, much more believable than many of the others.

[Lord Xizer]

Yes, much more believable than many of the others.

I loved how even though he lost Zsinj still escaped with Iron Fist and fooled the NR into bbelieving they had destroyed it. Had it not been for the incredibly horrible luck of a hapan courting, a freak sabbacc win over a Drakonin, treacherous nightsisters and the absolutely fiendishly lucky Han Solo he might have stayed a power for a few more years.

And now I feel like reading The Courtship of Princess Leia again. So many good things in such a bad novel.

[tlmiller]

The biggest thing I found hard to believe is that all these men wanted Leia.  I mean, assuming she didn't suddenly get a ton of plastic surgery after the events in the original movies, then she at least IMO, is a total barker.  Not a single attractive quality to her.

[Pali]

She's never been on my top ten, but I've always thought her physically attractive.  Plus, as far as the original trilogy is concerned, there are only about ten human women in the galaxy anyways - a hot commodity!

Oh it's not bad. The Crystal Star, the corellian trilogy and cchildrenof the jedi...THOSE were bad!

Alright, I fixed the download link in the first post .

There's no readme file, or at least I can't find it.

[Vulcanus]

There's no readme file, or at least I can't find it.

The .rar file contains a readme text file that has the installation instructions in addition to the "v. 1 and 2 mod features" word doc and "v.3 Changelist" text file that list most of the new features and edits to the original ICW 2.15.

Hi Vulcanus great submod. I'm having trouble with the 'Hunt for Zsinj' galactic conquest. For some reason the New Republic is not playable. I noticed some typos in the XML for the campaign - Calamari was spelt 'Calimari' and edited those, but that didn't fix it. Can only really do basic XML editing/adding units, not too sure about GCs or how to fix them. Any ideas? Thanks.

You shouldn't edit internal XML planet names, as those are not typos. "Calimari" is what was used in ICW and there was no need for me to change it as the name displayed ingame is from the text file rather than XMLs. Changing that in campaign files only will cause Mon Calamari to disappear from the campaign map.

Hunt for Zsinj can be fixed by editing Campaigns_Zsinj.XML and changing the Greater Maldrood's campaign name from
   <Campaign Name="Sandbox_Zsinj_Rebel"> to anything else, like
   <Campaign Name="Sandbox_Zsinj_Maldrood">

Quick point of clarification on the MonCalimari thing. That's actually how the planet was coded in the original game by Petroglyph and there has just never been a point where we felt the need to correct it in the mod (let along track down wherever else it turns up). Not important but I didn't want you to go away with the impression we don't know our source material!
