Special Thanks
To all of the former and current members of the SpecOps Studio mod team, your support over the years meant so much to me and while many of
your technical contributions have yet to show up in this beta, you all have made me better at what I do, and this wouldn't have been
possible without you.

This is the best surprise i ever got
im going to try it
I'll be honest, I thought this mod died years ago, and this is awesome. Nice work!
Thank you!
Why are rebel snipers Quarren? This is for the 5th custom class.
They should be the default female marksman rebel.
The female markswoman uses a different skeleton than the normal human skeleton which makes the customizing much more difficult, hence the quarren. In the full version if all goes according to planned you will be able to customize as the female markswoman.
how do i use it
Instructions are posted in this post and in the readme that comes with the download.
This mod has great potential. I especially like what you've done with the enhanced graphics and zoomed in graphics. Custom visuals are always exciting and cool. I've been testing this mod out with the skin changer mod and it does work except with the custom soldier. If you somehow would be able to make the skin changer mod and your mod compatible then it would only further enhance the customization. If this isn't possible, then please consider adding other clone legions or other skins for all the other sides, like the 501st paint patter on stormtroopers, jungle camo on droids, Kota's Militia gear for the rebels. Keep up the good work. Is there some way I could donate to help further the process of the mod perhaps? You and your team of fellow modders deserve compensation.
Thank you for the response, I'd have to look into the skin changer mod, but it would probably be possible to make them compatible, it admittedly would not be a priority of mine. There will be a more skins in the full release, and different maps will have different skins like in the stock game. While I appreciate the sentiment, we do not take donations.
Thanks for the reply. May I ask when the next mod update will be posted? the last one was posted in 2015.
You're welcome, thank you for the continued support. Perhaps some time in March.
On the actual post it says 17+ new maps, plus a couple new modes, vastly improved AI, dozens of new characters, weapons and vehicles, a new shell and ingame.lvl, 9+ campaign missions and brand new combat dynamics. But when i activated the mod the maps didn't show up. what happened? is it because it is still the beta version? please explain.
I apologize for the confusion, the features post is years outdated and I should update it for accuracy. Unfortunately a lot of the quantity content from that will not be feasible but quality wise imrpoved AI a gameplay is part of the beta, as well as edited weapons and vehicles. The beta also has a taste of the new character models that will be available as well.
in what way does it improve the AI? and by AI hero support does it mean the AI can use heroes?
Yes, AI Hero Support means the AI can use heroes. The AI aim much better with their weapons, it's considerably more challenging than the normal game.
Do the ai use ships in multiplayer?
Not sure, I haven’t tested it in multiplayer yet.
When you will release full version of Tides of war?
No idea, not for a long while
When you will release full version of Tides of war?
See above.
