What is the difference between this download:(Maelstrom_Diplomacy_1.011_3.zip) and
Maelstrom_Diplomacy_Expansion_1.011_3.zip ?
Great work!
The Expansion Mod includes a new Capitalship known as a Dreadnought. A Dreadnought is a very large and powerful Capitalship that once at level six or beyond can be upgraded into a Super-Dreadnought. All six races have Dreadnought Capitalships. Dreadnought's are automatically and repeatedly built by a special Dreadnought factory ... only one unique factory is made available for each player at the start of the game.
Also included are more aggressive Pirates with Capitalships, capable of colonizing, and a pirate carrier cruiser. Finally beware of dangerous asteroids which fill the gravity well of various planets, they can severely damage fleets through collisions.
so do we need this one to play the expansion? or do we just need the expansion?
No the standard series and the expansion series are two separate and complete mods.
dead changelog and installation notes links ;)
Thanks, links fixed. The info is also in the mod download.
