Alliance are a serie of different mods. On the Star Wars GC, you can play the civil war Empire vs Rebel era + Black Sun and soon the Republic and CIS.
The final version from my Rebellion addon is more closer to the release. I have got the correct building speed. It is faster than the previous but slow. Just some planets need some adjustments because they have discounts for some units.
Now I will make some tweaks in the resources for the bigger galactic conquest because clearly the mines give many resources and it is easier to find new planets for them. If I reduce the amount, it will be harder and a bigger challenge.
Other changes are variants from the GC where you play against the Rebels or the Empire but not the Black Sun.
how did you get it to where you start out with more than one planet
You have not played it yet. The human player starts with one single planet.
i will say this i love this mod i just wish it wouldn't crash when zooming into certain planets, after battles occasionally and so forth, still an amazing mod though.
If it crashs, it will not be because there are not guides and a lot of help in my forum........
