It took some time but I am proud to announce the release of the Praetorian Mod!
The Praetorian race is in a solid state and can be played with and against with a fully functional AI.
Currently it is not compatible with objective points mod and thus if you play against other race mods it will not present the correct behavior on the praetorian banner. This is one of the reasons it is a beta.
There will be updates in the future which should solve some of the known issues but nothing significant.
Art assets should remain mostly the same so likely there will be no new units but rather bug fixing and possibly balance efforts if required.
Enjoy this mod and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Credits are available in the mod page summary and in a file included with the mod but since their work was so important they deserve to be refered here also :)
Some credits related to the alpha version off the mod by Tempest and are kept for historic reasons.
