A series of optional minimods for the Enhanced 4X Mod and Interregnum to allow the player to customize their experience. Please read the entire description, and keep the minimods in the same relative mod order as the picture above. This update adds two new minimods; Disable Heroes and Disable Titans. The Beskar minimod has also been updated to fix issues with the AI stalling against the Mandalorians.
Apply any minimods you like in the same relative order as the screenshot above. In other words take out any you don't want, and if minimod A is above minimod B in the screenshot, keep that same relative order.
Interregnum specific minimods have a prefix of "INT" instead of "E4X". If a minimod has a version for both Interregnum and E4X, Interregnum users must the INT version and E4X users the E4X one. These minimods have an "*" symbol next to their name below. Otherwise E4X minimods can be used for both mods.
For more detailed instructions, see this video.
Interregnum Only
Star Wars Factions Only: Relive Star Wars battles from before the Interregnum with this add on, which prevents the vanilla Sins factions from being played. It will not change random encounters, so you may see a few vanilla ships owned by minor factions.
All E4X Random Encounters: Alternatively, if you want more non-Star Wars content in your game, you can use this minimod. Interregnum now disables a few E4X random encounters since they have been replaced with Star Wars versions. This minimod adds them back in. You can see a full list in the minimod readme.
Beskar: This special minimod increases the difficulty of the Mandalorian Raiders, to the point that they feel more like a proper hostile faction. Mandalorian Raids will become more deadly and frequent, and the Mandalorians will even colonize any worlds they conquer and turn them to local base of operations. Not recommended for new players or weak AI difficulties.
WARNING: This minimod is not compatible with Deathmatch.
Lend-Lease Capitals: The first minimod created by fellow Interregnum player (SpardaSon) instead of the dev team, Lend Lease Capitals modifies the extra capitalship the Triple Alliance factions (TEC, Ascended Advent, VIR) get. They will now use the weapon types and fighter squadrons of your faction, so your weapon upgrades will benefit these foreign built capitalships.
E4X and Interregnum Minimods
Alternate Main Menu Music: For those wanting a retro Sins feel, this minimod will change the main menu music to the theme of the Original Sins of a Solar Empire. If you're looking to return it to the Rebellion theme, do not apply this mod and delete the the Rebellion Title.ogg file from the main mod's sound folder.
Doubled Fleet Supply and Capitalships: Allows you to have twice as many ships and capitalships at any particular research level. Note that this will certainly make any performance issues worse, especially on maps with lots of players.
Faster Combat*: Increases all weapon damage by 50%. Works well with Deathmatch, or if you just wish Sins combat was faster like other RTS games.
Deathmatch*: Increases the influence of the map fleet supply, income, build time, and research options. Usually slow is equal to the old normal, normal the old faster, and fast and faster are much higher than what was previously available. Best for small and medium sized maps, as this allows you to afford to use every weapon at your disposal. Note that this mod and Doubled Fleet Supply will combine to further increase your maximum fleet size.
WARNING: This minimod is not compatible with the Beskar minimod.
Expanded Research: Inspired by mods like Mad Scientist and Distant Stars, the Expanded Research minimod doubles the amount of most stat increasing research available. For example, the TEC Laser research will go from having two techs with 2 levels each for a max 20% damage bonus to having 2 techs with 4 levels each for a max 40% damage bonus. Can be used with any other minimod.
Infinite Research: Adds two new techs, Surviveability Mastery and Weapon Mastery, that slightly increases your units stats but can be researched 999 times. These techs get more expensive with each research. This minimod is intended as a money sink for long games on huge maps where the major empires can easily run out things to spend resources on.
Disable Superweapons: Prevents you and the AI from building superweapons.
Disable Titans: Prevents you and the AI from building titans.
Disable Heroes: Prevents you and the AI from recruiting heroes.
Resetting Titan Levels: It's a little crude, but the result is titans will lose their levels on being destroyed, so they are always rebuilt at level 1. This was a major gripe of some who thought titans were too strong, and works especially well on larger maps.
non-Vasari Phase Gate: Allows factions other than the Vasari build phase gates to warp between all connected planets, but at a much higher cost.
Max Starbase Upgrades: Gives all Starbases 20 upgrade slots, enough to purchase all available upgrades for them.
Enhanced AI: Gives your favorite AI level a little more challenge without it feeling more "Cheaty". Now updated to help the AI in both E4X and Interregnum with their early expansion, where easier AIs often took too long to get started.
Exploding Mines: Reverts space mines to explode when enemy targets are in range, rather than dealing damage over time. However, the mine limits have no been changed, so mines are still more expensive, have longer range, and now do devastating damage to make up for the limited numbers of them.
More Tactical Slots: Increases the number of tactical slots at all planets by 10.
*Minimod has both an E4X and Interregnum version. Enhanced 4X Mod players must use the "E4X" version, and Interregnum players the "INT" version.
YAY
Thx a lot!
Where should i put the Beskar mod in the order?
Above the main mods, but do not use it with the Deathmatch minimod. Or just put it where Deathmatch is in the picture.
thank you. i will do it
Faster combat? Yes.
Expanded research? Good.
Infinite research? Ooh even better.
Max starbase upgrades? Finally I can stop putzing around with editing files with every update!
Still my top favorite mod for Sins with Armada 3 right behind, keep it up!
"Max starbase upgrades? Finally I can stop putzing around with editing files with every update!"
Me in a nutshell before being part of the deve team.
the ekstra research mod makes the trader koalition op they can now have 3 starbases in one gravity well
(sorry for bad English)
Everyone gets really OP things. :-) We do not necessarily try to balance the minimods. They are suppose to be fun and adjust the game more to your taste.
If you want a fair, balanced game, I recommend not using any minimods.
Any particular reason that the research mods wouldn't be working for me?
Double check your mod order. All minimods must be above the main mod(s) in your mod order.
I'm running Disable Heroes by itself and it makes the game very prone to crashing. Was fine running it without any minimods.
Strange, I'll try some games with it I guess.
I was wondering why I couldn't use some of the stuff in the game after upgrading versions and I was like haha yes The add on I forgot.
Although I can't remember but is there anything that lets me use things like center point station or the star forge? I don't seeing anything to enable them. Could just be me tho.
Do you think it will be possible to add an option to disable fighters? I enjoy watching tie-fighters and x-wings clash with the vanilla fighters, but they take up a substantial part of memory late game.
If not disable them completely, then just add the option to take out light carriers. But still keep respective cruisers and frigates that support fighters, but lose the ability to carry, limiting the ability to carry to capital ships, titans and star bases.
This is problematic when playing with AI, as they don't hesitate to spam light carriers.
What is the progress on this mod getting updated?
Anyone know if any of these work with the new update?
Hey GoaFan77 can i please have a full picture of the mods shown on that picture it's blurry for me when i click the pic
