A new mod?

[ernieschwitz]

I am working on a new mod for Armada 2526 supernova.

It is pretty far along now. It has among other things new facilties, with graphics to them, new researches, 2 new races, with animated art, and three factions.

Unfortunately I have yet to master 3D rendering, with Blender, so if anyone has any skills with that I am all ears.

Still working along.

I decided to challenge myself a little, and make some changes to each race, by giving them special buildings. I am getting through them, however the process is taking longer than expected. I like the results though, but boy, there are many races!

Still looking around for someone who can help me use Blender. Though at this point not sure it would be really needed... There is enough in the mod now that it is really something you can sink your teeth into.

I am actually done!

I have no idea how to expand the mod further, at this moment. Over the coming days, I am going to try and explain all the changes I've made. It is going to be quite the job. I made more than 100 pictures (some are new researches, but most of them are new buildings and their icons). I made two new races, and I'd make a third, if it didn't mean that the file would be bigger than 10 Mb, which is the limit I can upload to the forum (maybe I can upload more, if I spread it out some).

Since there is no documentation, and play balance is going to be something that is easier to crowd source (and the crowd is admittedly small), every race and game will be an adventure into the unknown, until I get down to writing down what there are of changes.

I am going to upload it in a few days, maybe in a day. I need to think if there is something I could do better or is missing. The working title for the mod has been EM (Ernies mod), but I guess we can rename it, and use the same shorthand: Expansion mod, or similar. Stay tuned!
