The Black Blade of Nimrodel

Before LOTRO I was spending most of my time modding SW Empire at War and Forces of Corruption. There are a few good mods out there, but I found what they added to either be too lol-cartoonish, too complex or purely eye-candy. I made a mod that I'm very happy with that does the following:

1. In Galactic Conquest, I recreate the Galactic Civil War. Each faction is intended to have different difficulties: Empire is easiest, Rebels are medium, and the Zann Consortium is hardest. Each faction has different strengths and therefore playstyles. Over 80 planets fill the galactic map, and planetary bonuses have been adjusted from the original. The AI has been tweaked and is more aggressive and active than in the vanilla.

2. Unit tweaks: All units have been rescaled to be more realistic(not 100% realistic, but not cartoony like the vanilla). Also all units have been adjusted to reflect lore-appropriate strengths and be less 'gamey' rock-paper-scissors style.

3. New units have been added to all factions.

Known issues:

1. Golan space platforms are showing up as "missing". Do not use them.
2. The original game was designed to have a maximum of 10 ground units on a planet. The planetary display allows you pull those ground unit slots and place them in the 3 planetary orbits. My mod allows you to have more than 10 units, and invade with more than 10 units, but if you try to zoom into the planetary view with more than 10 units the game will crash. So after invading a planet using more than 10 units or if you want to view a planet with more than 10 units, you must move all ground units from the on-planet slot while in the galactic view rather than the planetary view. Once you've done that you can switch to the planetary view to select which units you want to leave as a garrison. While this is a pain in the ass, the ability to have massive ground battles is well worth it compared to original, small and limited ground battles.

So if you are interested in this strategy game or already have it and would like to try out the mod I made let me know.
