SOA2 - CoH (Comeback of Heroes) Rebellion 1.8 compatible
Sins Forums
Hi,
This mod is only for privat use!
Changes to original SOA2:
I wanted to fight also against other races and not only against borg. That is also why I tried to keep balance between races that all of them have a chance to expand their empire.
- AI increased for all races. Before AI didn't build any capital ships for Kiingons, Federation, Dominion and Romulan. They were researching only maxshipslots but not caputalships and were building frigates. Only borg could build their capital ships but not the other races. To see all races fight with capital ships I changed AI.
- I changed assimilation of borg. Borg were taking control of nearly all frigates and other NPC s couldn't expand any. Borg now only can assimilate when shields are down. Lower your shields and surrender 
. But without lowering shields they cannot assimilate. Only tractorbeamassimilation with eliteships can assimilate other ships even eliteships. But this was enough to give other races a chance to start normal.
- Borg combatlab had 12 civil slots. This was for borg impossible to expand. Cause of this you could see alot of money and resources sometimes > 100 000 but they couldn't use it. I changed that to 4 civil slots that they could build their culturecenters and combatlabs.
This makes Borg again hard cause they can get researches faster now.
Borg had also too much armor, that you couldn't fight with your eliteships just heavy frigate of borg. It was impossible to kill them. I reduced armor to an acceptable level. I gave also to all races weapons against borg. Borgvirus can use 1 support vessel and is more efficient against them. Also support capital ship got assimilation counter.
I also changed tractor beams a little to keep the balance.
- I changed the roles of Federation ships. Intrepid is longrange, defiant not capital ship anymore but very important to fight agains borg, Akira became support capitalship, exselsior carrier, centaur became shield restore and repairing, etc.
- I gave 1 homehangar with special fighters to defend homeland. Roletype is superweapon but it is not so hard. Just help at beginning not to be crashed fast. For all 3 planets you have you can get 1.
Take a look at your tactical buildings.
- starbases can move now only not that from borg. I changed this cause AI cannot put the starbase to a correct place. It stays sometimes too stupid that you can get the planet very easy. Starbase of borg cannot assimilate eliteships anymore. This was too hard.
- I put some new pictures and music.
- Move of starships changed as mentioned before.
- new models, new NPC's and new gameplay
The mod ist not ready yet.
