Legend of the Galactic Heroes (LoGH) is based on the japanese animation series bearing the same name. LoGH is all about the epic battles between gigantic fleets of the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. This mod will feature different political factions of the empire or the alliance. We aim to recreate the space opera feeling and the fleet tactics employed in the series. Research and economics will be reduced to a minimum and the main focus will be on tactics and fleet movements like in the series.

Alright it has been a while since the last update but belive me, we are making some progress.I am very confident that we might be able to release a beta version end of this year.You can see some of the changes in the latest video already, including most of the buildings being replaced by 'beacons' or planetary 'ornamentations', as well as several overhauled ship models.All ships are ingame now and the research tree is complete for the FPA and empire. We have a complete selection of classical music replacing the original sins soundtrack (the music will probably be available as a standalone MOD for those who do not want the original sins music replaced, but this has to be decided yet) and german voices for the empire.As stated before you will be able to 'research' the flagships (most of them, not all) shown in the series. As it stands now there wont be any other research of 'new weapons' or 'better armour' and such. It just seemed out of place here. The only other 'research' subject will be your rank, increasing upkeep and available command ships.And another big change: The pirates have been removed and replaced by Fhezzan / civillian traders. They will run many independent trade hubs throughout the map which you can claim for yourself. Those trade hubs will ensure your supply lines. As we have many empty gravwells now (without colonizable planets) this will be very important.Also don't forget to take a few supply ships with your fleet at all times ;)We are also implemeting cutom interfaces for FPA and GE at the moment and testing out a completly new view for the 'star map'.Balancing will be the next big issue. However we will need to rely on YOU when we release our first version and we will nedd feedback on that. As of now there are many little issues to fix before release but most of the art and gameplay elements are nearing completion.Thats all for now. /maddy

I didn't think you were going to put THAT in the game. Amazing!
A toast to you! Prosit!
Well 'it' won't be buildable as such. It will be part of certain scenarios/maps where you can conquer it from your enemy.
Added a short teaser today. I think you can guess what it is about :P

holy shit this is EPIC
omg this mod is awesome!!!
I want play this mod asap!!!
i like FPA ship looks great
wow....great mod...can't wait to see it in action :D
the only thing i don't like is the colour of the free planets alliance...it should be a greyish texture :D
FPA military ships are green. The series dictates the color :P
This mod looks great. i like LOGH keep up the good work guys.
now not for bad but i think this mod is alot better than that game. First of all this mod seems to be having 3d space while that game had only ships lined in 2d formations, also there is ALOT more ships in this mod than there is in that game at fight at same time.
So my votes go for this mod.
