Xiphid Remenant Race Skin Mod Creation Recruitment

So, how are the catalysts going to look?

Haven't gotten that far yet I'm still having trouble coming up with models for a number of the other units and buildings, that and trying to get the tri and vert count on the T1 anti-air tower down while making it look good besides lore wise the xiphid remenant originally had access to the complete tech database that the commanders used before TDZ in addition to the tech database installed by the original xiphid and the tech that the Xi commander developed it's self.

Will need to post the lore for the Xiphid Remenant on here when I get a chance.

here's the Xiphid Remenant T1 and T2 air factory's
T1 Air Factory - vertex:727/tri:1450

T2 Air Factory - vertex:1207/tri:2410


the Xiphid Remenant air factory is meant to be floating off the ground when you look at it and i'm still debating whether to remove the center platform or not.

Really? where'd you learn that?

it's not in the official lore for the game it's part of the lore i made up to explain how the Xiphid created the original Xi commander while explaining why as far as we know the Xiphid never fielded there own commanders to counter the progenitors commanders during the century war

The fact humans had commanders is why they won.

i know the Xiphid Remenant lore is at the moment very early work in progress, will post what i have written in the next post

Here's what I have written so far it's unedited and very much a work in progress

P.S:the name of the system is only a place holder that I came up with at 3am

Xiphid Remenant Lore

During the century war with the progenitors the Xiphid managed to capture a number of enemy commanders intact

In an attempt to turn the war in there favour the Xiphid decided to create there own commanders by studying the captured commanders internal workings

The Xiphid managed to replicate everything except the Commanders AI

It wasn't until the closing months of the century war that the xiphid finally made a brake through in creating there own AI but the brake through had come to late to reverse the war

Redesigning there prototype Xi commander as a revenge weapon and installing an innovation and scientific evolution program into the AI and an extensive database containing all the science and tech that the Xiphid had discovered and developed and the tech and designs taken from the captured commanders databases

Once the redesigned Xi commander was complete it was sent to the secluded Zephose system on the far outer rim of the galaxy that was the site of an abandoned experiment by the Xiphid that rendered the system too hostile for colonisation

Upon landing on the uninhabited moon of of Zephose Prime the Xi commander begun constructing a base that would be used as the Xi commanders main HQ while it designed, prepared and constructed its forces to carry out the mission of revenge and extermination left behind by its creators

Dunno how true-to-lore you're going with this, but according to the Galactic War lore then the Xzhipid's main battle tank was called the Scarab during the Century War

the Xiphid Remenant units were designed after the Century War by the Xi commander AI so none of the units used by the Xiphid Remenant were used during the Century War

Ah, gotcha. Looking forward to seeing more!

i'm trying to keep as true-to-lore as i can while writing the Xiphid Remenant lore also the commander that the player uses isn't the original Xi commander but a drone created to look similar to the original you see the Xiphid Remenant is controlled by the original Xi commander through a type of hive mind that uses a version of the fictional substance called Voidium that the Xi commander found not long after arriving on the uninhabited moon.

Here's some more of the models for the mod

Nuke - vertex:533/tri:1055

Cicada - Sniper Bot - vertex:424/tri:828

StarFall - Anchor - vertex:1342/tri:2680

T1 Anti-Air Tower - vertex:1274/tri:2532

The lore could be the Xi Commander, which was also affected by the event that shut down all commanders layed dormant on a isolated world until a recently reactivated Commander accidentally reactivated the Xi Commander.

I always assumed the Xiphid had a bio organic feel to them, however the lore that the Xiphid essentially created their own version of a Commander, thus using a more 'human' approach to making ground, metal, units, cancles out the opportunity to use bio organic components.

Nonetheless, great work!

Thank you the Xiphid Remenant were all ways going to be affected by the TDZ the only differences between the progenitor commanders and the Xi commander is that the Xi commander remembers what it's mission is and has its memory's from before the TDZ but there has been damage to the Xi commanders database and scientific subroutines that are used for designing new weapons and units.

The way I saw the original Xiphid was a mixture of both mechanical and organic in terms of technology and I'm not talking cyborgs, the way I see it the Xiphid conducted massive scale bio-engineering experiments before the century war which is how the system that the Xi commander is sent to became too hostile for colonisation for the original Xiphid.
