Epic Armada Mod

Epic Armada Mod v1.3 RC1

This mod is for the PC game Star Trek Armada II. The primary goal of the mod is to add new content and tweak certain aspects of the AI.

The computer opponents will build far more vessels and stations compared to the original Armada II, you may notice a difference in your FPS.

I have tried to maintain the games rules and play style, I have however tweaked the Borg race. They do not gain crew as fast as in the original Armada II.

Apart from that, the rest of the changes are to the AI and technology.

Installation

To install the mod, copy the contents of the compressed file in to your Armada II folder. Usually;

C:/Program Files/Activision/Star Trek Armada II

To Un-Install

Unfortunately no Un-Installer exists, youll have to re-install Armada or manually delete the files. Ill fix this soon.

Conflicts

I have tested this mod using the 1.1 patch and the popular graphical mod Midnight Universe. You should not attempt to use this mod in conjunction with other mods which add additional content.

Content

All of the new ships and stations have been created by various authors, I have simply put them all together, adjusted and added icons, wire frame meshes when necessary.
