You can mod the race before you start the game.

Shadows are somewhat special in the mod : they have more advanced "Ancient" tech but are pretty bad at reproduction/expansion. There are some Posts about this in the B5 mod thread, get there and have a look

Where and what?

B5-Mod-Gold ???

I thought there is NO Gold-Version of the B5Mod for now - or I'm wrong?

Where can I find it?

Hi, folks,

It took me much time to install B5-Mod Gold
(found it DATA Mod section) sucessfully
on my Se-IV gold v1.67.

I must say it's very cool, and give a whole new
world to Se-IV. Colony is harder to occupy (i.e.
hard to rush & land troops). Managing a new
colony is much slower..i think it's more realistic , nice touch.

However, after testing each race, I am very confused for one thing: IS Shadow Alliance(SA)
too strong @ early stage??
I found out only SA's engine can push a Colony
Ship to 6 mv. Other races' engine can push only
2 mv !? It's quite absurd!

Or maybe what I use is un-official Version of
B5-mod ?

Anyway, I'd like to see all kinds of comments on
B5-Mod-gold, thanks for your comments.

Tss tss, seik,
I did one conVersion some weeks ago - just made the B5 mod works with Gold, didn't add new Gold features (drones) - too difficult !

Look in the B5 thread or in the Mod forum to get the links.
Enjoy !

The B5 mod is still in testing/development. PDF did an excellent job of making the B5 MOD Gold compatible but even that is NOT feature complete yet. As PDF said the Shadows are a special race (known in the TV show as "Ancients"). They have certain tech advances over the "Younger" races but don't have as strong a reproductive capacity.

Terashu:
Yeah, the Shadows were too powerful - as would be the Vorlons once their weapons working. They are now unable to colonize (no ancient race can colonize) they are going to be forced to either capture other planets or to get them through intel. This kind of evens them out, makes them think long range and rely on allies to do the dirty work... as it should be

The Gold-Mod is 'unofficial', but PDF has done an excellent job of keeping it up to date and Gold compatable

PDF, you still active? We're going to be posting the latest B5 mod up on Rambie's site soon and wanted to get the latest Gold files from you as well. Also wanted to see if you were interested in a pre-gold PBW game that will be starting up soon

Is the final gold B5 going to include the in-combat repairs ability?
