Under Construction submod

[Lord Xizer]

A few fellow enthusiasts and myself are working on a submod for the upcoming 2.2 main mod. Some of the features added will be as follows:(Always subject to change of course)

List of current changes

PA-Kazrak slavers will be buildable special units(similar to the purge troopers in TFU) with flamethrowers
Jerec will be able to recruit the Seven Dark Jedi(Sariss, Boc, Maw, Gorc, Pic and Yun)-if Jerec dies before this you can't recruit them and get Halmere instead.

Zsinj- Improved Raptor troopers(better range and sight than standard stormies and will come with therm dets or mines since they had training in explosives), recruitable Pirates, will attempt minefield like asteroids, the ability to build hidden economy buildings and some sabotage units to simulate his brain washing program. Gethzerion getting a major buff against infantry and light units.

GM- Adding Moff Hindane Darcc(Allows recruitment of Trandoshan Slavers and building construction time reductions do to wookie slave labor), Merili(Standard Nightsister-no lightwhip just drain health and force sight) and Pekt(Sniper rifle and flamethrower) to the hero roster to replace Moff Lesan Ramier, Admiral Garrik Trier and Boba Fett respectively(just for era 1, era 2 will see the three replaced heroes back in the GM roster). Trandoshan slavers recruitable at Kashyyyk if you have Moff Darcc there. They will have long range blasters and sight like the NR infiltrators but no detonators. Clutch fighters buildable for Tavira. Build cap for CC VSDs increased to 73.

IR-hero shifting for the IR-under Pestage you'll have Grand Admirals Tigellinus, Takel and Makati in their ISDs along with Supreme Warlord Harrsk in his Tector and General Tal Ashen in his ATAT.
using Project Ambition will kill Tigellinus and Takel while Harrsk will go rogue, along with the Corporate Sector Worlds (If those are not already taken of course)if Coruscant is taken before Project Ambition is set into motion Tal Ashen will also die.
Initiating Project Ambition will gain you Ysanne Isard, Delek Krennel, Ait Convarion, Erisi Dlarit and Fliry Vorru.

EA-adding versatility to the Storm Commandos in forms of explosives, saboteurs and snipers as elite teams of six but with build caps of 10 units so they aren't OP.

NR-Adding more of the Jedi Academies students(obviously later eras)

Warlords(NPCs)-adding Grunger and his armada over Mandalore and Gargon. Total of 1 SSD, 10 ISDs, 20 VSDs and about 40 support ships(less than he had in the EU but enough to not make him a pushover in auto resolve or battle.
Pitta and Zork above Corellia and Tralus with the Corellian Sector Fleet, torpedo sphere and versions of the World Devastators(to represent the prison ships that were used to genocide aliens under Pitta and his cronies) So two weaker World Devastators, about 4 ISDs, 8 VSDs, 20 Corellian corvettes and gunships, three torpedo spheres.
Zero Command gets a lot more forces for their two worlds-two battle cruisers, 12 ISDs, 3 Tectors and about 20 support ships.
General Drommel will be added over the world he repaired Guardian on with 3 ISDs as in era 1 those would have been functional and he'd just be starting out.


Comments, suggestions and critiques welcome of course.

Wow that sounds cool.

[kucsidave]

And after 2.2 comes out, and if I have some time for it, We planned a few fun Infinities/Alt history GCs as well. I also plan on adding something new to the table, which is either works or fails very hard... But let it be our secret for the moment

[Empeor Cooler]

If i could make a suggestion, maybe tone down the number of ships under Grunger's armada, or at least the ones in orbit with him. I can get not wanting him to be a push-over sort of, "boss" fight, but he's already in an SSD, so 90% of the time, auto-resolving the battle will end in a player loss.  It wouldn't really feel too fun to take down Joseph, but then still need to fight like 20+ more support ships that will all spawn in at once and likely on top off each other the moment he dies, not to mention all the fighters they'll spawn in as well. I say this because the exact scenario happened to me in my Black Fleet Crisis playthrough during the beta so far, and needless to say, it was not fun seeing the AI bring in 15 thrust ships the moment after Dille Bar died.

[Illidan Stormrage]

wait I am confused.
What will happen with Moff Lesan Ramier, Admiral Garrik Trier and Boba Fett?

Also what about Dengar?

I also suggest maybe putting Kentor Sarne and his forces in? He was a threat and would also be good in a mini GC similar to the Isard's revenge GC or as a recuritable hero for another faction.

Ramier and Trier become era 2 heroes. Fett goes to IR, Bossk will be the era 2 and beyond bounty hunter for GM and Dengar will take Bossks current place in the EA

We might add in Sarne

Actually working on making the reverse happen. I.E you fight through his armada then he spawns against you.

Sarne despite being a rather mediocre warlord was among the trio of walords the NR went after during the time between Early thrawn IR to Dark Empire
(The three warlords are Delek Kerrnel, Zsinj and Kentor Sarne himself.)

Zsinj was killed before Thrawn returned. The NR went after him in 8 ABY, Krennel in 10 ABY and Sarne was hunted down before both of them as I recall. Sarne was killed by the Darkstalker I believe.

Ok, I like that actually.
I haven’t messed around to much with unit placement XML before, by your words i’m guessing you found a way to force a unit to be in a reserve slot?

Sarne died in 8ABY during the Darkstrider campaign.

Right . Anyway looking forward to it.
 

[kucsidave]

About the alt history GCs I plan, I am able to speak freely, since those are ones I can do without a problem.
About the secret I am not talking about because I have a 90% chance of failing ( ) and I don't want to get people believing it's coming when it isn't.
At the moment I have 2 of them planned.
1, Where Ardus Kaine survives Shadow Hand.
2, Where Daala gives command to Pellaeon immediately realizing her lack of skills.

[Lord Xizer]

We also plan on implementing historical scenario battles where you can play battles like Tralus, fall of coruscant in 6 ABY, Bilbringi, Vahaba, Selegis, Orinda and Anx Minor with the forces that were there historically. The hope is to make these historical battles multiplayer.
