The series begins with a war between Earth and the colonies. On one side is the Earth Alliance, and on the opposite is the space colonies that form ZAFT (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty). Mankind has evolved into new forms through genetic engineering, with normal humans known as 'Naturals' and the genetically altered known as 'Coordinators'.
-Earth Alliance
An international coalition formed by the PLANT sponsor nations and their terrestrial allies to battle the forces of ZAFT. The Earth Alliance is not a single political entity, but rather a collaboration between several individual nations, which regard each other as potential adversaries even though they are currently united against a common foe. The dominant powers within the Earth Alliance are the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, and the Republic of East Asia, all three of which invested heavily in the construction of the PLANTs. The South African Union and the United States of South America are junior partners in the Alliance, with the latter having been forcibly annexed by the Atlantic Federation at the start of the war.
-ZAFT
The military forces of the PLANTs. ZAFT is a militia made up of civilian volunteers, and the organization has no formal rank structure, so its members are instead addressed by descriptive titles like "commander" and "captain." The ZAFT forces are organized into independent teams named after their commanders, and much like the modern-day U.S. Marines these teams can operate equally well on land, at sea, in air, or in outer space. Since ZAFT's membership is made up of genetically enhanced Coordinators, its forces are more than a match for the numerically superior Earth Alliance.
ZAFT was originally a political organization called the Zodiac Alliance, which was founded in C.E. 50 by Siegel Clyne and Patrick Zala. The Zodiac Alliance took on its present name in C.E. 65, and three years later it was reorganized to become an explicitly military organization equipped with the revolutionary new weapons known as mobile suits.

Lots of new eye candy for all you Gundam fans out there. A lot of time so far has been spent on a good portion of the s, we have another er but I didn't get his work in time for this update. However I anticipate that the focus will shift more to coding and game play from here on in. The more exploring I do into what the Alamo engine can do, the more excited about making this mod I become.
Expect more updates in the near future from the Gundam Legacy team.

The Mobile Suits are going to act like the X-wings/Tie fighters correct?
How big of a Galactic Conquest Map are we looking at?
Here we go.
Astray characters: We are actually discussing it now, most likely all Gundam Seed main characters will not be main characters in the game. However we are looking at haveing them in certain missions, more than likely you will see some if not most of them.
Freedom? : Freedom again may show up, the mod will be very story driven and you path may cross freedoms a couple of times.
Orb? : Probly not in the first release, but hey you never know.
Thanks for the Questions.
On top of that we have some new team members:
Sykes: the very skilled sykes is now our team graphics/concept artist, go to the forums and see his work it is nice.
Stargazer: Again another photoshop skilled individual who is giveing lots of help on story and character dev.
Bucky669: He is the go to guy for anything Seed related in story and characters.
sorry guys i know its probably very early days... just wondering about the structure... like how u have sum of the Astray characters appearing
Will there be thing such as the freedom etc? i asume yes :P
Also what about a 3rd team? any word on Orb at all? gonna do anything there?
Cheers and keep up the fantastic work... lvoe the map as well
I like lego. :)
hm... no hard feelings but models are way 2 blocky like legos built-up
what ever you do do not forget the heros cool mod ,AND GET ON WITH IT
This looks awesome. Great models, and I love the multi-map.
Keep going with this.
Thanks :) Glad to see a nice community forming around EAW. Sorry if I appeared harsh, Im used to being self defensive thanks to alot of people in the C&C modding community.
I'm quite glad a Gundam mod IS being made :) a good series. If you want, I can help you workon making the 'galatic map' of Earth's orbit. I've had some experience and already made a mini-Earth's Star System-mod. If not, glad to see you guys out here :) good luck

No worries, my gundam mod wouldn't of happened with out your mods insperation.
If anything I owe you.
I see someone has finnally joined my Project's concept of multiple maps being used for one star systems (reference to your Earth map)
I don't care that others have done the same as we have, but do me one favor. I was the 2nd to 3rd person to start a Mod for EAW; do not, repeat, do NOT claim we have copied any of your map layouts. Its pure chance that our map WIP is alot like your map here.
Thanks
