GalCiv II : New Frontiers - New Techmovies!

A Community Project

Published on October 29, 2008 By I-Mod Stefan In Modding

A long journey begins!

This year, we will start a project we have long waited for,

a Fan-Expansion Pack for Galactic Civilizations II : Twilight of the Arnor.

It will be a community Mod, so the whole community can participate on the development.

The first stone, a mod containing a lot of content we developed over the last years will be released parallel to the Mod Metaverse and will be the first mod which will be available in the Mod Metaverse. On this mod, we will build up the Expansion pack!

Let me lead you inside the backgroundstory of the Fan-EP:

Sometimes, a small group of the United Planets Member of the milkyway galaxy decided to escape the never ending war by sending out colonyships to a nearby galaxy. Driven by hope to find a new place to live without Conflicts, they settled down and started discovering the Andromeda Galaxy. Noone expected falling directly into a Hornet's Nest...the Andromeda Galaxy was dominated by 2 Races, struggling each other for thousands of years. The old rivals recognized the new galactic players and try to convince them for there sides.
Strong propaganda tear the former UP members apart and each aligned with a side, joining the intergalactic war, again.
The steadfast neutrality of the Terrans, is your destiny, to bring peace to this galaxy...

well from this on, it is left to the community, how it continues, we plan to start one of many Seasons, like in TV, handling of stories and incidents of your imagination!

Here's a little log of what extra-content will come to you:

Ultra galaxymap predefined 4x4 +8 immense maps predefined, each representing a sector, 4 for each quadrant + 8 borderland

New weapon effects and systems, each race gets different weapon/defense advantages.

New models

New spacetextures

New mainmenu

New userinterface

New shiptemplates for each race

2 brand new races, the Asa & Vanir

New modules: energy reactors

New models for shield, armor, point defense, sensors, life support

GalCiv II : New Frontiers will be the never ending(? you decide ) future of Galactic Civilizations II !

If two races are gonna be replaced, i think the races should be Altarians (They look like humans... and they're Altarian Resistance, so they're a minor race ) and... uh... Thalans. Because i don't like them. Really dunno about the second race.

But i'd like to see some sort modmod or two with one could replace the new races with the replaced if one doesn't like the new ones. Or just one if one of the news doesn't feel good. Might break campaign but then most people just play sandbox. Or one could aply the mods after playing campaign if there's one...

Weapon effects look very good.

well I have to think about several reasons for replacing a race I'm not sure at the moment, I think I will replace the races which do not fit into the new saga due to there attitudes.

All looks great so far Stefan! Wish i could help out, but I have no skills you need other than giving pats on the back. Though I tinker with XML files and I like to write stories, I doubt these would be of use to you much. Im hoping the research tree is fantastic and long. I usually play with very slow tech as i hate getting a new weapon tech 3 turns after the first one haha.

Any updates on this mod? I like what I see so far. Hope it's still being developed!

It's not just a mod, it's a fan expansion. The demo is coming out soon (as in very soon). It's been put together very well by the whole I-Mod team. I think that the best part is the *cough* Vanir tech tree! *cough* *cough*

(what? can you blame me for putting in a good word for myself, Stefan)

[quote who="CapnWinky" reply="1" id="2019453"]Any idea of when it will actually be released?

Like i said, very very soon. there is no official date set, so it's up to Stefan to respond with an actual release date if he wants to.

It's most definitely alive! I haven't actually seen the Vanir tech tree yet, but what I've seen of the other races is well worth the wait.

hehe, well I won't make the mistake of giving a release date I can't hold again.

We have a lot of Freelancer working on that project and each of them has there unique life stuff to do, so we are just as fast as the whole team is. But we are working, and the expansion is growing, and what you will see is the ultimate of GalCiv 2, so keep excited!
