REQUIRES GC2 VERSION 1.2 OR HIGHER!

Features:

+ New "Blank" hulls that consist only of a single disembodied hardpoint; create ships from only jewelry and components with no hull at all.

+ All hulls in the game are available as jewelry, including Dread Lord hulls (combined with blank hulls you can use any hull with any size or race, or multiple hulls at once).

+ "Fake" versions of Colony, Constructor, Transport, and Trade modules for making symmetrical ships. Includes the previously unused mirror version of the Constructor and Trade modules for correct Left/Right symmetry.

+ Hardpoint formations (disembodied hardpoint groupings). Includes single extension, dual mirrored, triple, quad, etc, up to a ring of 8. Also included are a cluster of 10 hardpoints for placing multiple items in one place, and a delta formation for making ships that look like groups of mini-fighters.

The mod has been restructured for 1.2, and now uses the mods folder. The various features of the mod are broken into multiple XML files as well so you can selectively disable the parts you don't want. More details in the readme.

READ THE INCLUDED README BEFORE USING!! You must start a new game to see the mod's effects; it will not work on a save made before installing it.

Here are four ship templates I threw together; two cargo hulls, one tiny hull and one huge hull. You will need the Twilight of Arnor expansion and Kryo's Hull System Mod or these ships will not work.

Asa RaceMod for TA v1.9a

-featuring a 13th unique Race,completely replacing the custom default race.
-goal of this mod is to deliver a seemlessly integrating unique race instead of the default custom race selectable

The Asa Race(Viking Gods) focuses heavily on terraforming/biology
ie. Planetary development, defensive tacticts and hull techs.

Credits to:

Kryo, for his KHSM mod, which has been partly implemented (all Torian FakeHulls)

Zyxpsilon for making the race logo & PI icons & query icons

NastyTang for great planet work

Stefan for his weapon fx and tweaking

No credits go to Gauntlet,since I found the race pic at an arts site long before his mod :P

Install:

1. Delete any older AsaRaceMod Folder
2. Extract the zip into ...\GalCiv2\Twilight\Mods
3. run asa.bat
4. select asa racemod in gameoptions screen
5. if the path still points to a ..\GalCiv2\Mods folder click default and repeat step 4 :)


Notes:

v1.9b will be available soon, which will activate the asa specific terraincolorschemes and probably include some new gfx stuff.
Depending on feedback, maybe some general tweaks as well.

Happy testing

This is an expansion of

MrKorx's Miniaturization & Logistics Mod
by MrKorx

Produced with the permission of MrKorx!

By General Pants

VERSION 1.1:
This version implements miniaturization, logistics, home planet quality, interest rates, and all of the exotic worlds colonization abilities. I have tweaked the names of the bonuses and the values. Hopefully the new values will fit into the game more reasonably. I don't think there is any way that this mod could be MetaVerse compatible. Initial credit should go to MrKorx, development and acceptance of blame are the responsibilities of General Pants

CHANGES:
Version 1.1:
Now uses the mods folder. Many thanks to Mr. Korx and Kryo for their help with this change!
Government was removed, since CariElf's modding guide says the game doesn't currently use it anyway.
Colonize Exotic Worlds abilities were fixed.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract these to yourfavoritmod/Data... for some reason, the AbilitiesBonus.xml will not work if you put it in Data/English, so please don't do that.

The predator is one of the most powerful ships ever. While unbalancing the game (a little), I just thought Id put it up here. I actually got the idea of how it looks of of a Romulan ship. (Best to have Kryo's mod.)

[ed: The ship designs require Kryo's Hull System Mod.]

Here's 2 ships that I started on. It's a small beginners effort, since I started only a while ago. Descriptions and weapons are down below

The Galactic Pulverizer
- Basic Huge Hull
- 2 Hyperwarp II Engines
- 2 Disruptors II
- 2 Quantum Torpedo Launchers
- Barriers III
- Admantuim Armor
- with Adv. Troop module for Invading.

Assault Fighter
- Huge Hull
- 2 Distruptors
- 2 Anti Matter Torpedos
- 2 HD Spike Drivers
- 2 Hyperwarp Engines
- Ultimate Admantium
- Sensors and Barriers

You're gonna need Kryo's Hull System First.
