Legion Expansion [Released!]

The Legion Expansion translation project has moved over to Loco. If you're interested in helping translate this mod to one of the PA supported languages then please drop me a line.

Not knocking elodeas amazing insight into balance but I'm more arguing about the feel of the game/units. Currently I'm way behind the curve, but I have a decent feel for what is strong or not. Scorpions were strong . 33% dps strong? No.

Reason being, this game is lost in the early stages. Not only has vanilla better raiding, quicker expanding etc, they win the early air battles giving carefree expansion.The reason legion is behind vanilla is the air balance, work here. And by air balance I mean T1 fighter balance. . Put 30 v 30 fighters in top players hands and see If legion ever win.

Basically legion isn't winning any tournaments or showing a crazy op unit. Buff /nerf when it's apparent, not because that's what vanilla did so we need to counter balance. What's wrong with the scorpion being vanillas locust. To me it was fun, T1 Legion is well behind the curve but t2 is likely better.

Translations

• Added Chinese (Traditional) with thanks to IPWIW

Fixes

• All Legion Commander descriptions now consistent in their format

Here is an inconsistency of Legion and Titans which I would like to see fixed.

The MLA titans have Greek names. Zeus, Ares, Helios.
The Legion titans have Norse names. Thor, Odin, Tyr.

But the MLA titan building has a Norse name (Ragnarok).
And the Legion titan building has a Greek name (Holocene).

So, for the sake of consistency, the last two names should be switched. I am definitely switching them in my mod of Legion, and I recommend that they be switched in base Legion too.

And while you are at it, I would change the Greek name to Apocalypse, because it's more appropriate (what with the Apocalypse being the Greek version of Ragnarok).

Oh but you said you don't want to touch base Titans units...

In that case your inconsistency merely reflects Uber's inconsistency... and is thus consistent with Titans at least, if not with the cultures concerned.

Dude...

He does have a point with the names, but as always lacks tact.

Please note that Legion is currently not working due to the withdrawal of key functions that it depended upon. We are currently investigating.

Community Mods disappeared for a short while, and with it the Companion Mod functionality that Legion Expansion depended upon to work. These have now been reintroduced to the game and so the Legion Expansion is working once more.

If you have installed PA Mod Manager, be sure to disable all mods within it before using the in-game Community Mods functionality.

Upon starting Planetary Annihilation you should see a yellow box at the bottom of the menu screen. It will ask you if you want to enable community mods functionality, and to do so you must click ENABLE and then restart Planetary Annihilation. Once done you will need to reinstall the Legion Expansion.

... so shall i rather re install the game completely? it´s not like i have any serious saves or so

Note that all players must have enabled Community Mods in their game, otherwise they will not receive the Legion Expansion client mod, which will lead to missing elements or crashes when the lobby launches.

Thos sounds like a crusial issue. Would it also workd if you have the mod installed but without cmm?

I don't know, though that's such an edge case we're not planning to test it.

some people may deside not the use CMM because of privacy issues

But they'll use PAMM? Which somehow doesn't have those issues?

Edge case.
