GalCiv II : New Frontiers

A Fan Expansion Pack

from Stardock Forums

A long journey begins!

This year, we will start a project we have long waited for,

a Fan-Expansion Pack for Galactic Civilizations II : Twilight of the Arnor.

It will be a community Mod, so the whole community can participate on the development.

The first stone, a mod containing a lot of content we developed over the last years will be released parallel to the Mod Metaverse and will be the first mod available in the Mod Metaverse. On this mod, we will build up the Expansion pack!

Let me lead you inside the backgroundstory of the Fan-EP:

Somewhen, some of the United Planets Member of the milkyway galaxy decided to send out colonyships to a nearby galaxy to escape the never ending war. Driven by hope to find a new place to live without War, they settled down and started to discover the Andromeda Galaxy. Noone expected to fall directly into a vespiary...the Andromeda Galaxy was dominated by 2 Races, fighting each other since thousand of years. The rivals recognized the new players and try to convince them for there sides.
The former UP members were not at one, so they decided different.
Lead by 2 dominating propaganda, it is your destiny, to bring peace to this galaxy...

well from this on, it is left to the community, how it continues, we plan to start one of many Seasons, like in TV, handling of stories and incidents of your imagination!


Here's a little log of what extra-content will come to you:

Ultra galaxymap predefined 4x4 +8 immense maps predefined, each representing a sector, 4 for each quadrant + 8 borderland

New weapon effects and systems, each race gets different weapon advantages.

New weapon models

New spacetextures

New mainmenu

New userinterface

New shiptemplates for each race

2 New races, fighting each other since thousand of years in this new galaxy. Asa vs. Vanir

New modules: energy reactor

New models for shield, armor, point defense, sensors, life support



GalCiv II : New Frontiers will be the never ending(? you decide ;) ) future of Galactic Civilizations II !

Interesting, I was wondering which version of TA does this require, will the heros be the Terrans again, will the two new races be playable? Also I wanted to make a map based on the Andromeda galaxy.

It will start with TA 2.0, and yeah I have a fable for my species so the terrans will be the protagonist. But what happens decides the community. The 2 new races will replace 2 of the old ones.
