[WIP][Server] Imperial Legion (Faction)

Yeah I want to avoid using content from other mods in legion. Funny you mention that, as a while back I was thinking it would be fun to start a small project where I try to make a faction out of units from mods no longer being updated (always make sure it's ok with the author though).

I really liked modx as well.

You could make a faction called ' the scavengers' and make lore about how their forces are based on captured tech from all over. That way you can use a mix of unit styles and so on. Tbh that'd be pretty TA like imo, both factions were a bit of a hodge podge of stuff...

One thing I really liked was that it had a consistent art style in each loadout. Even the ones that went with vanilla looked like a vanilla unit would. Wouldn´t it be super cool to have 3 factions in PA?

The MLA, the remnants of the first series of Commanders, the Legion, the unified and powerful force invading the galaxy, and the Scavengers, a gathering of neutral Commanders caught in the crossfire? That would be pretty cool

Scavengers with a yellow style to it´s UI would be cool

With that Kind of name I feel like they would have some Quid comm who looks slightly asymmetrical.

Hey thanks for the feedback emraldis. I can't tell you if you're right or wrong, only what the unit role was and roughly how the game was supposed to play as a result of this.

With +5 speed, raider is able to operate without fighters (if you have reasonable micro) as a raiding unit differentiated from the bomber which does require fighter escort.

What i found really interesting about this was that it starts to force people into playing defensively with air fighters, splitting them up slightly instead of cancering around in huge blobs. Now if you go and yolo with your blobs, you will be vulnerable to raider counter harass if you havn't built aa.

Did you try using patriots to guard your fabbers as well? They are pretty good at killing those pesky raiders

Whatever mitigates the blob fighter strategy is good and this seems to force you spreading yout fighters. Really like it, good idea.

The Legion are the remnants of the Commanders built by the Progenitors to defeat the MLA.

Any chance you create a logo for the MLA, it would be really cool to be able to have that maybe in the centre of the eco bar. Also having that with legion of course.

I´ve just tried several times to have a Local game and my god it was infurating. Not a single time the icons worked and it bothered me to the point of quitting. I know this is W.I.P but it is extremely important to get that solves. I think this should be top priority

You're likely not installing it properly. We have an auto script that puts all the files in their required location for the mod to work correctly.

that's not going to work out of the box

The one testers use
Maybe @wondible should take a look

I was playing vanilla. What I found was that it kind of forced me into one strat whenever an enemy played raiders... I find that limits the game a lot, since if I build fighters and have them guarding each mex, I might as well just build a turret there... would last longer too probably...

Honestly though, I don't really care about the damage, at all. It's damage is fine, could even be higher if you wanted it. My sole issue is that it forces you into one strat to counter. which I find quite annoying. it means that if me and my opponent have gone mainly air, and I'm playing vanilla, I'm kind of screwed, because I have to split up my fighter base to defend each little outpost against raiders I can't catch...

@wondible I´ve retested without any mods and didn´t work either. Whatever happens, in Local games the icons are not displayed, whatever you chose to do. Either that or rocketeeth have no icon, the other comm has an energy plant icon and the units have error numbers.

@Ksgrip Your version of the mod is broken. I just tested it on my end in multiple instances and everything worked fine. I suggest a complete uninstall of the mod then install again if you are able. But yeah latest tester build is fine on my end.

Spoiler: Working Stuff

May it be that my processor doesn´t handle the loading of the game as it is expected and that is what causign me the problem

EDIT: Finally it works. At fisrt I redownloaded the mod and checked but didn´t work. I decided to unistall PA and redownload everything and now it works. It was a corrupted file in Pa itself. Thanks for checking
