This mod converts Advent forces to those of the Galactic Empire. The units created for this mod mainly take their inspiration from Legends continuity. This is essentially a partial conversion and only affects the tactical layer of the game. The strategic layer, including the tech tree, is totally unaffected.

See here for a list of what’s changed into what: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hi5uZb8PzCTLJKUxdJG8VmS-EbajUGU-RSOy02aKNOY/edit?usp=sharing

I do not guarantee compatibility with any other mods but I only anticipate conflicts with mods that affect Advent characters and AI scripts. See the Known Issues section for known conflicts. This mod IS compatible with [WOTC] Mission Overhaul: Core and I recommend it.

PERMISSIONS

The Stormtrooper meshes in this mod, with the exceptions of the Rocket Trooper Helmet and Jetpack, are the work of Lord Poncho. You must ask Lord Poncho for permission to use any of his assets.

If you have a question regarding permissions for other assets in this mod, feel free to ask in the comments section.

DISCLAIMER

Certain assets in this mod originated from Fallen Order, Star Wars Battlefront 2, owned by EA/Dice, Star Wars: The Old Republic, owned by EA/Bioware, Star Wars Empire at War, by Petroglyph Games and the Force Unleashed, by LucasArts. Star Wars is rightfully owned by Disney. The assets here are for non-commercial uses. No payment or donations will be accepted. I do not have a patreon.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vanilla/LW version?
No. XCOM2 mod tools are too memory-intensive for me to even begin to consider doing this.

LWOTC version?
When Long War of the Chosen is finalized, I might be willing to consider the possibility of accessing the feasibility of doing this. But probably not.

Where are the Stormtroopers?
Stormtroopers will begin to appear as Tier 2 Advent Troops. Tier 1 Advent Troops are Imperial Army Troopers.

Why are the Dark Troopers so big?
Because Phase 1-3 Dark Troopers are big. Only the 2005 Battlefront 2 Dark Troopers had normal human proportions but they were basically Phase 0 Dark Troopers.

KNOWN ISSUES

If you switch from the Bounty Hunter Rulers to the Sith Rulers, or vice versa, wait a couple days on the strategy layer before accepting a mission where a Ruler will be present. This will allow the mission encounters to reset (a dead giveaway that this has happened is if the number of enemies present on a mission deployment changes).

Known Conflicts
A Better Advent
[WOTC] Enhanced Ragdoll Physics and FX (Overrides enemy archetypes)
[WOTC] Yellow Alert Gameplay V2.0 (Breaks AI)
The Hive (Overrides Chryssalid)
[WotC] RW Realistic Aiming Angles (Breaks Sith ranged deflection abilities)

Other known issues include the following:
-Chosen Assassin has bugged materials during spawn-in cinematics. (Don’t worry, she appears normally after the intro.)
-When not posing as a civilian, the Imperial ISB Agent uses Faceless proportions in cinematic reveals. (At the moment I can only fix this by disabling the civilian reveal cinematic as well, so I’m not doing it)
-Troops with open-faced helmets may have facial deformation during cinematic reveals.
