Forum Wars: The Mod

Need skinners! Apply now if you can help!

The Forum Wars mod stems from a small role-playing group on Ultimate Empire at War's forums, which incorporated aspects from Star Wars, Stargate, BSG and many other things into one role-playing game. Seeing an opportunity, those who played or knew the game came together to create a mod for it; in order to create a merger between these sci-fi genres while being careful not to unbalance the game.

Though the game shall incorporate three completely new factions, removing those existing and adding the units associated with these factions, many of the original Star Wars ships still feature in Forum Wars, but shall be re-done, including variant options for greater choice and fun.

The game-play itself is also a key factor which shall change. The game (EAW) shall be completely overhauled with complex tech-trees and unit refits for each faction and there there shall be a branching tech tree which is accomplished through research, and not just one 'research facility', as well as unlocking new technologies there shall be upgrades to existing technologies, improving existing shields, improving engines, even building armour and productivity. There shall also be a much more varied orbital defence system and land combat shall receive a severe overhaul, with generically larger maps, a wider range of unit types - but not necessarily a over the top amount of different units and a re-thought out landing zone and command point structure.

Though much sounds speculative, work on the technology tree has been tested on the small scale and work on the full one has already begun.

Oh, and we're making the graphics a hell of a lot nicer too.

Currently recruiting modellers, texturers, mappers and a small amount of coders, subject to acceptance based on samples and tests. If you're interested please visit our forums, through this link or via our profile, register and look into our Join the Team boards.
