A Blog about I-Mod
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 !

it seems there is a bug with the new weapon behavior tag and the weapons could look strange in this version, I hope stardock can fix this in the next version or I need to find another solution.

I would have recognized this much earlier if you would give me some feedback on this next time.

There will be a new Trailer and version out in July, showing the new features, we plan to have a solid version including 2 new races and one overhauled in late september.

 

keep in mind, we still try around and the final version will be high quality!

i don't really get why races have to be replaced; i can create a custom race with a custom tech tree whenever i like without overriding anyone, so how come imod can't? surely the only difference is that their races will have new images and new components for ships?

on Jul 29, 2009

It's because there aren't enough 'slots' for 2 new races.  Even one race would remove the slot for the custom race.

on Jul 30, 2009

yeah, we decided to switch 2 of the main races. If you decide to make custom races, you can't make them official, showing them on the race selection screen and create a storyline with them, also, these races will have completely new Techtrees, shipstyles, planetary improvement graphics etc.

Next week I will go into User Interface modding, you probably remember the X3 holosphere one, I will overwork it to have it more fitting in New Frontiers.

Which races are biting the dust?

on Jan 09, 2010

Please do not tell me that this mod is also dead.  

 

So many good mods these days seem to die.

on Jan 12, 2010

Well, as the site "crypt keeper" I can tell you that pretty much everything is dead right now............. I plan to change that, however..................... I imagine a completed mod should liven things up a little...

on Jan 17, 2010

hey, sry to tell you that we won't continue work on mods for GC2, the community has lost its interest and we didn't get enough feedback so we concentrate on our Messenger project and other stuff

 

but we keep our downloadbase, where you can find a demo of new frontier, the ultimate FX mod.

 

I feel sorry and my heart bleeds, but we need to face something on that we can build up our future.
