Masters Mod v1.6: One Small Step for Masters
 

Several changes, bugfixes, and one new Master trait.

The Small Ship Masters racial trait makes small ships more useful throughout the game. Different small hull sizes with additional abilities will perform specialized roles better than large generic ships. Special small ship mounts will also supplement the additional hull sizes, letting you cram a hull full of electronics, enhance weapon accuracy, and increase shielding.

Also fixed some major balance issues with the Assimilation Masters.

Fantasy Expeditions Mod
 

Here's Alpha 0.1 of Fantasy Expeditions Mod, with Orcs and Humans racial traits implemented. AI and Shipsets have not been done yet.

Some of the components need to be touched up because they have a white background that obscures mount and quantity information, but I'll work on that as soon as I can figure out how to without messing up the images themselves.

Racial Trait - Humans

Humans have good armor and are dominant in pole ranged combat with the knight and spearman. However, they have few specialist or magical units, with only the weak crew conversion of the Priest. In addition, their best units have higher than normal minerals costs.

Racial Trait - Orcs

Orcs have huge potential and huge problems. Other than the shaman and elephant, every Orcish warrior has a dramatic built-in penalty to accuracy making orcs the biggest whiffers of all. However, they dominate at melee with the well-armored and high damage Brute and (later)Berserker. In addition, they have special expedition sizes to represent their hordeish behavior and they have some very inexpensive warriors.

Alpha 0.2 of Fantasy Expeditions Mod

Change Log

0.2

Racial Trait - Elves

Elves are accurate and long ranged archers and skilled in druidic magic, but their long lifespans mean hundreds of years of training for each Elven warrior. Reflecting this and their high quality equipment, Elves are very expensive warriors to train and use. In addition, Elves are lacking in expertise in melee combat, with the Elven Fencer being their only melee unit.

Human Shipset Partially Completed --

Commonly used vehicle sizes have fantasy themed pictures now, for the Human shipset. The race portrait is still the Terran one, however, and only ships and bases have been done so far.

Heroism Made Removeable --

For a non-heroic game, Heroism is removeable which will prevent anyone from having access to the Hero, Legend, Myth and Divine mounts.
