I would like to disable nukes and advanced orbital defenses. I have no idea how I would do that or change anything in GW. I have looked and looked and can not find out anything about how to mod GW. Any help would be appreciated.
Never modded GW myself, but you need to look at files at \Planetary Annihilation\stable\media\ui\main\game\galactic_war\cards .
Cards affect what a player has. Enemy AI have the full roster. To affect everyone you would essentially turn a server mod into a client mod (just remember to turn it off when going to multiplayer) The most obvious place to start would be media\pa\units\unit_list.json I'm not sure what would happen if a card tried to turn on a removed unit; you could test with something in the starting loadout; if it's a problem cards would need to be adjusted as well.
I should have made myself a bit more clear. I do in fact want to remove Nukes and Advanced Orbital Defenses from GW so the AI can not use them. I did not think that modding this game would look so daunting. I am really afraid of mucking something up. Is there a modding guide I am not aware of? Something along the lines of what I want to do?
