Thanks for the quick answer!

Incidentally, I seem to recall that you *may* need the USM mod when creating your Empire in order to have access to these formations during the game. Or rather, Fyron eluded to this, as he said that you could play a vanilla game with these extra formations provided you made your Empire with this mod. Don't quote me on that though, since my memory is likely faulty.

That doesn't make much sense, as the DefaultStrategies file doesn't really affect any other data files - but it wouldn't hurt to have it set up before you do your empire file anyways.

Im a bit confused. I have downloaded the Balance Mod but how do I use it AND the US Mod?. Do I need to copy the US Mod data files into a copy of the Balance Mod so I effectively have the Balance Mod using the US Mod data files for formations and strategies ?.

Yeah, just copy USM's formations and strategies files into the Balance Mod data folder.

I suggest that we do this as the Inner Sphere from FASA's Battletech universe. We don't have to follow their timeline or their specifics, I just think it'd be cool to use their flags, colors, and portraits.

And maybe, just maybe, a gentleman's agreement against glassing. That's a bit out there, but it's something I'd like to propose.

No maybes about it; I agree, and hope others do too.

I prefer to capture planets rather than glass them, so I have no problem with it. Perhaps if some dastardly warlord does glass a planet they will be considered a war criminal. Might we have a limit though. There is a difference between totally destroying a military base of 1 M (1 million is a lot, but its the minimum) and commiting genocide on 4 Billion civilians.
