Romulus's Government, Social and Racial Doctrines mod** See the Readme file for installation instructions. Download here. In my humble opinion I see the need for a revamp in the governments traits, social traits and racial traits. The proposed changes will bring a MUCH larger dynamic to the game as you must be cautious as to what races you invite into your empire. You have to contend with your Tyrannical ways. You must submit to the collective way of things. You must put your Queen first in all things, etc, etc. The premise behind my Government changes is to make the people stand up and be heard!! The mod gives every races Government and Social traits equal pluses and minuses. The standard deviation is that each one with have +50 and -50 in advantages and disadvantages. This way each type is equal in the positives and the negatives. The Racial traits is a little balancing and tweaking a few things here and there. I wanted to add more, but It seems you can't add evaluative statements in that file or at least I couldn't figure out how. ** Be sure to read the WARNING below. **Invasion! Beta 0.60 Released
Published 8th May 2008
You can download it here Beta 0.6 marks a large step for the mod with the addition of complete working AI for normal and monster races. It also does a fair amount of monster balancing to address issues that had shown up in the now defunct pbw games I was running. Multiplex tracking has been changed a bit, all hulls have a base tracking amount this amount can only be increased by turning over control of the ship to a Master Computer. Also I have tried to push each hull size closer to having a more specific role. As usual the mods needs Image Mod and Sound Mod to work properlyNew SE4 Shipset Released: Romanian Revivalist Dominion
