SHADOW OF THE EMPIRE

A Mod for Empire AT WAR - FORCES of Corruption

Real Time strategy expansion game for Empire AT War - Forces of Corruption (expansion) this is more than just a mod - its and expansion for the "Expansion" !

This "mod" or Expansion as I prefer to call it, extends the playablilty of the original FOC expansion. However this is not and should not be confused with "just another mass units mod". SOTE is carefully designed so that you only access new units at certain time intervals in the game. This is via building required structures such as specialised shipyards. However, you need to be able to control certain planets before ever being able to build any new ships that have been added to sote.

The same applies to the new ground units in the mod. Also I have split the new units up into appropriate time lines, so New Republic units can only be played in NR campaigns and NOT earlier. In these campaigns older ships from the GCW period - some will no longer be buildable. They can only be played in that period as with the NR units.

New planets have been added also covering new locations to EAW designed by our own members.

These will include planets like Mimban, Sarapin, and Ruusan. The AI is actually beefed up and more aggressive.
It wont be long until your being swamped by a very demanding enemy.

As ever there are currently three factions. The Underworld faction has been replaced with a different faction. "The Hutts Underworld" Tyber Zann has been replaced also.

New features include more mercenarys and bounty hunters, and space ports, ship yards, and defence platforms such as the Golan's that can be built.

We are making many of our own conversions for space units in this mod and this takes TIME. We make things as close as we can to the Petroglyph standards. Exacpt with out the annoying break off pieces we flet was unrealistic even for a game like this.

The mod is about 75% complete I would say.

Hope this info is useful and if you have any further questions dont hesitate to ask me or post them on this forum.

Oh - and dont forget to visit our new gallery to view all the development pictures of SOTE - including in game screenshots ! you will find a link to the gallery at the top of the forums.
