Single Player Balance Mod
This mod aims to balance the game for RMG single player maps and Galactic Empire mode. I fully expect this to not be balanced for multiplayer. With inspiration form Zaskow’s AoW3 Balance Mod a friend and myself have taken on the task of making something similar. Both my friend and I have beat the game with multiple race/tech combos on the highest difficulty and are balancing the mod toward the higher difficulties. This is by no means a finished product, and we will gladly accept suggestions from the community, though I make no promises all suggestions will make it of course.
As the game stands vanilla certain strategies dominate others.
-Psionic and Arc based abilities are amond some of the greater problems.
-Oathbound (even after the current beta nerfs) are far and away ridiculous to the point that on higher difficulties a single Oathbound ai can be approaching domination victory by turn 30 just from immediately consuming 2 neighbors. It is even more ridiculous in the hands of an actual player.
-Dvar has felt like some of its identity has been lost since launch and so we worked to return that while touching up its units.
-Many more changes have been made as well, and there are a handful more I’d like to make. For the full changelog look here – https://pastebin.com/yA4FUjVR
-This was my first attempt at such a comprehensive mod so I expect some bugs. Feel free to report them and I will try to fix them ASAP.
– Many thanks to those in the discord for helping me locate where stuff was when I needed it, and a shoutout to Apoplekt whose longer rifles mod gave me some ideas on what I can do with accuracy for certain weapons.
