Love how the cataphract helmet kinda resembles a phase 1 clone trooper from starwars with the helmet fin

No need, Prestige variants are by definition 'Empire-made' and they are the baseline for Sophian style.

Normal power armor helmets are changed with style, but what about prestige variants?

These textures are so beautiful, I really hope Tynan could use the textures of this mod in the next game update, they really make my base look aristocratic!

Scarecrow is hilarious

Feels so good to flex on the plebs with this mod, great job!

Friggin' fantastic style pack.

I love this style pack and often throw it into colonies cause it's just very pretty in general, especially the flak jacket and gunlink

could you add a texture to the VFE power module, specifically the industrial generators?

love the slight warframe inspiration :D

Discuss this update in the discussions section.

As per above.... so discuss it already!

Any ideas to add mechanics from cult of the lamb? It would be cool if the ideology was formed as a choice between random tenets to simulate the agenda in the colony. Or a choice between tenets that occurred after the events that happened in the colony - for example, after a fight between representatives of different xenotypes, one of them initiates a choice of tenets, where you can choose - either you stick to the xenotype, which is the majority in the colony and the attitude between its representatives will improve, or choose a tolerant attitude to all xenotypes, but will worsen the attitude to the initiator of the controversy.

i fucking love the warhammer referenced guns!

The gigachad mask got me

*cough* chode guns *cough cough*
That aside I love the furniture, especially the deserter scarecrow.

Oh, Halberds as well

Hi! I noticed the anti material rifle is of vastly different size between Vanilla Weapons Expanded and the Sophian Style, there might be an oversight.

The empire endures!

Styles are separate to retextures and you can run both.

Does this mod factor in VE Textures? I wanna use both for a VE Empire run, but not if this clashes with the improved Imperial textures.

Outstanding, I can't get enough of VE.

Could you guys throw this in the Collection? Seems like it's not included yet.

These look amazing! Absolutely love it

Cool!

Very nice mod indeed

HUGE fan of the scarecrow. Knocking it out of the park as always!

Nice, are you planning on adding more styles ? E.g the Rebels, techist, so on ?

I love the scarecrow lmao

getting rid of the revolver's visible trigger, smh
(this style goes hard, all jokes aside)

they really put a aesthetic shaper on a charge lance

I really love how its not all really wacky changes, but the vibe is just really good with these! especially love the flak jacket. good job!

although i will say the charge lance looks.. interesting with that extra indent in the back lol

You DO indeed sound like an ass! lol

I'm sorry if I sound like an ass but is it just me or do the weapon re-textures look really similar to how AI tries to generate weapons?

Just to be clear I'm not saying you used AI or something, the similarity just looks funny in my opinion

To be fair the style fits the actual Rim, since all those conventional firearms are super ancient for the game style.

I like how this style seems to mostly just seems to make everything 12 to 23% cooler looking

@TurtleShroom - it's not too bad to make styles, helps if you've done text file editing as you need several to make the style show up in-game and tell the game what it will change.
If you want to begin, reverse engineer a workshop mod from your local files, and make something simple like a style that only changes a 1x2 table :)

@Pamparampampamparam, Kerian: There is no confusion. Empire won't have greatbows, they'll have great crossbows. The player won't notice, as the name changes too.

@TurtleShroom: Trivial, it's just XML that can be cracked in a couple hours. It's the drawing that takes time

Scarecrow reminds me of Darkwood, love it!

The Deserter Scarecrow is brilliant.

How hard is it to make Styles, BTW? I was never able to get my head around how it worked.

Slight problem I have with the bow being made into a crossbow is that since it's a purely cosmetic decision it might get confusing, especially if you have VWE mods installed with crossbows already.

Looks sick though, definitely throwing this in to give it a look.

NOICE. This is just what I wanted!

Only critique is that the bow retexture makes it too easy to confuse it for a crossbow. I think it would be fine if it was just the bigger version of the shortbow.

@ShockedHearts
Except it wouldn't use the styles system, it would be just a retexture, retexturing these assets for EVERY faction, not just Empire. No, sorry, we don't plan to release such a retexture.

haha i love the scarecrow with a deserter's armor

갓세널

Oh that reminds me! I completely forgot but an Ancients style pack could work really well

can you make a version of this for just the base game styles retexturing the main game files? I dont have ideology but would love the base game changes in this mod, and see no reason having those alone would require ideology since its a simple retexture <3

lol that dummy

@Labrat_09 me too. The deserter clothing on it is hilarious.

I had a corny laugh when I saw the scarecrow reskin

This reminds me ... will the Runed Column from VFE Vikings be removed when it gets integrated into Medieval 2, or potentially incorporated into a future Viking style?

Armchair but no couch? i like the furniture and the lower tech guns.
