Prerelease build to test all modes and other changes. There may be some leftover bugs, please make sure to leave feedback so that I can adjust them. Medstar's Modmanager is supported.
This is a small mod with the simple goal of overhauling existing leaders and adding new ones like the Banished, Forerunners, Flood and Post-War Humanity to Halo Wars.
It will also include new maps and gamemodes to showcase the new mod tools being created right now.
You can find out more about current development in our discord server and the Trello page.
