ES2 REDUX

Please remember to if you enjoy the mod!

---

Revisiting ES2 to polish the last game patch for real 4x single player campaigns. Like a Hisso sword… Redux strikes the perfect balance of player fun and challenge.(Work in Progress)

---

ES2 Redux will affect most other DLCs, but the game will take care of it if you do not own them all. In order to fix the bugs that were after the latest patch you need to load these mods in order when playing and follow their directions, explicitly.
Required Mods and DLC:

• ENFER Reloaded ( Special install and run instructions. )
• Community fixes.
• Extended Galaxy Settings
• Terraform Away

Special thanks to the Dev’s, Ninakoru, Capt Cobbs and other past modders who worked on mods for ES2. So,buckle up Buckaroo Bonzai, here is a list of changes Redux sets out to fix/balance; combat, difficulty, speed, markets, science, production, laws, elections, happiness.

• Redux of game difficulty and speed settings, so they work as intended.
• Overhaul of space and ground combat with much better scaling, fixes and added features.
• Revamped ships, weapons, armors, shields and support modules for better balance.
• Fleet lane and formation card bonuses have been normalized.
• Heroes’ bonuses now a stepped system due to branch stacking.
• Fixed Science and Trade agreements costs and fixed diplomatic actions.
• Toned down numerous OP laws and implemented 10 turn elections (Norm GS).
• Overhaul of production levels and resource requirements for systems and planets items.
• Over-colonization based on universe sizes for better scale and Conquest Victories.
• "Do it for Science!" re-balance of the levels, formulas and lowered Sophon Omniscience.
• Fixing the markets!(wip) working 90% as intended.
• Reduce Academy power since it mostly benefits the human player.
• Added Jaylo’s White heroes ships and Kuma’s Grey Behemoth’s mods.
• Added my own color palette.

The 1.5.6 patch broke most ES2 mods and with permission have includes a few and required some of my favorites, that I have patched to work. Any recently patched mods that affect different things other than listed above, should work with Redux.

This mod is an overhaul mod and will not work properly with other overhauls, like ESG.

• Taking a break for the Summer, will be back in the fall.

Recently, I finished my extensive four year overhaul of Battletech, and since you like turn-based games, I am confident you will like XAI Battletech 3025 which is a massive improvement over the vanilla game. You are the Mercenary commander! and lead your rag-tag mercs across the Periphery kicking arse and blowing STUFF up.

You can find it on Nexus XAI Battletech 3025[www.nexusmods.com]
As an alternative to Steam chat come and join my Discord @ Xeryx’s Mod Workshop[discord.gg]

I am a pretty busy person and run a business, so please do not expect an answer right away, just have fun! After playing the mod for a while just leave some constructive feedback to improve it.
