Made a new Kandosii image - Empire At War Remake: Galactic Civil War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
Not that that means that the mod is back under development, I just wanted to show it somewhere.
My first Kandosii was not all that amazing, and I didn't like it all that much. This one on the other hand, I am very happy with. I briefly considered modelling fractalsponges Kandosii, but then I decided I'd try to make my own version, again, a reimagination of the original design. As with the other 2 mandalorian redesigns, it features a heavily centralized reactor. It also features turrets on the bottom and sides of the head, 2 hanger bays on the rear of the ship built into the rear section, the top one running through to the front of that part. That part specifically I'm quite happy with. As most of the modelling work that I end up liking, I stumbled into it by trying a bunch of random structures and moddifications until I found something I liked. In this case, integrated hangers. It also has a hanger bay with 2 openings on the bottom of the head. Other than that everything on this ship is just a bit bigger than the original designs. The engine sections are thicker and longer, the missile fin on the bottom is larger, and the reactor is larger and more centralized. The Kandosii used to be the dreadful battleship of the Mandalorians, so I also figured the ultimate warship needed the ultimate weapons, so I modelled the Bismarcks 380mm and found a place to put them, that being the side of the head. I made sure they can fully rotate without clipping with the rest of the armor. I also think that they look great as space-filler, since that part always was empty-ish in the original design. Though it is not as high as the Kyramud, it is however twice as long. I later replaced the Kyramuds bottom "head" turret with the new Bismarck one for continuities sake.
The Kandosii with turrets consists of 11.4K triangles.

That looks fantastic. Great job G!
Its gorgeous!
Also, Kandosii sa ka'rta, Vode an!
Holy f#%k that's cool. Appreciate the eye candy! :D
Great looking work as always.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the work on this mod, Jeroenimo. It's not really compatible enough with Steam to run effectively for me right now, but I hope with a new patch that might change, so thank you! It's a beautiful piece of work, and shows your talents to advantage!
So, just out of curiosity, is there a purpose to making all these models? I know, as you've said that none of this means you're picking up your previous mods and I understand that, but yeah, is something else in the works at the moment? Or is it more for fun?
Drowning the problems of today in the bygone joys of yesterday.
Fair enough haha
