Question: some said merc's earlier and i wanted to ask is it possible to add lore friendly units that build only on certain planets if you own them? would make holding certain planets more worth while.
Right now I don't have much time to work on the mod, but this is certainly an interesting idea.
Is there any way to download it on Steam? Because, I really want to play this mod.
Simply download it here and follow the install instructions, it also works with steam ;)
