The goal of this mod is to make combat look more realistic while maintaining balance by adjusting squad cost and training speed. To determine how strong a unit or weapon is I consider how its described in the lore, how it looks ingame and its relative strength on the tabletop. Most units do not use squad or vehicle cap, and the few that are limited have a lore reason (like the leman russ vanquisher) or balance reason (artillery). - No squad limits on most units. - Dozens of new units. - The AI can use all the new units. - New AI profiles for all factions. - Campaign and multiplayer compatible. - Greater emphasis on macro-management and aggressive gameplay. - Knockdown is now very rare. - Better vehicle pathfinding. - Research removed. Each races traits are more pronounced, space marines are more elite, eldar are faster, imperial guard and orks are big horde armies, necrons are hard to kill but slow, tau still like their gunlines.

Wow I've only just discovered this mod and downloaded the older version. Cool to see it's still in development.

I followed all the instructions or at least I think I did but when I set it up nothing is different as if the mod is not installed. I need help in installing this mod so if anyone can help I will greatly appreciate it

the mod is impressive, I mean the amount of stuff it has...and still some how it feels like you are only have way Capt_Cole.

love that you made BA a faction of their own and brought in their successors chapters.
when I saw the Firstborn I couldnt help but wonder "if I scroll a little further will I see the DeathKorps of Krieg?" but to my disappointment no, still a promising mod, hope you see this project through to its end...hell for 10 gigs of space I can say I did expect more though.

PS
the Tyranids looks monstrous well done.
