Warlord Gold Total Mod Expansion v7.0

Hello EAW fans,

For those who played and loved Warlord 6.0 - here is what WTME 7.0 will bring to the table:

1. A master general polishing of EAW xmls to fix game design bugs and issues or realism aspects that Petroglyph left out of the game (Imps/Rebs).
2. Adds the Army/Fleet of Admiral Zaarin as fully playable faction in SP.
3. Adds the Pirates as a fully playable faction so you will have now 4 full playable factions battling each other in SP.
4. Adds General's Veers Campaign mode - Basically Veers will be an empire sub faction and you will only be able to battle land battles (this is optional).
5. Adds Tarkin Campaign mode were you play only in space - Tarkin is also a sub faction of the empire (this is optional).
6. Adds Emperor/Akbar Campaign mode (Expanded AI) this is a play mode were you and the AI can control the faction. You are the Emperor and can overwrite the AI. The cool thing is that the land battles are more now alot more fun and you don't have to do tones of clicks to command everything. The AI does it for ya so all looks alive.
7. Introduces the SWR Admirals Nightmares series to EAW.
8. Adds more planets.


I need:

1. Someone to help me get more planets from what we already have.
2. Someone to get me Zaarin pictures and data about his revolt.
3. Anyone who has EAW feedback or requests can ask the so I can figure out a way to add them if possible.
4. The WTME 7.0 is an NMA project and anyone who wants to mod more or less can join the team.

PS. I have no clue how much will take for my copy to arrive from Las Vegas ... so until then we will have to stick to planning and eaw feedback requests and material gathering.

PPS. The GMP Mod will be used as a starting base for this mod.

Info about Zaarin:

Grand Admiral Zaarin

Demetrius Zaarin is one of the 12 original Grand Admirals promoted to that rank after the Battle of Yavin in the New Year's Fete Week celebration by the Emperor in the Star Wars Expanded Universe; he appears in the computer games Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance.

Admiral Zaarin occupies the storyline near the end of the original TIE Fighter (where he attempts to capture Emperor Palpatine), and is the main focus in the TIE Fighter expansions, Defender of the Empire and Enemies of the Empire. However, Zaarin was never affiliated with the Rebellion; Zaarin had fought against the Rebels in trying to acquire hyperdrive technology for the TIE Avenger (Advanced) and only wanted to despose the Emperor in the coup attempt. After Zaarin betrayed the Emperor, he was cast from the council of Grand Admirals and then-Vice Admiral Thrawn was promoted in his place to maintain the ranks at 12-strong.

Grand Admiral Zaarin oversaw many experimental Imperial Projects, including the TIE Avenger, TIE Defender, and (assumedly) the TIE Experimental projects shown in X-Wing Alliance. Shortly before the Battle of Endor and after the abortive defection of Admiral Harkov to the Rebel Alliance, his driving ambition led him to secede from the Empire, taking his extensive fleet with him. While supposedly still on the side of the Empire by fighting Admiral Harkov, who was defecting to the Rebel Alliance, he implemented his secret plans to kidnap Emperor Palpatine himself, taking advantage of the turnmoil between Harkov's forces and Imperial loyalists. Zaarin's attempt was narrowly thwarted by Vice Admiral Thrawn and Maarek Stele.

Despite the failure of his coup d'état, Zaarin proceeded to attack key Imperial facilities across the Galaxy, particularly advanced starfighter production sites and their crews as told in Tour of Dutys Eight and Nine. Although he did not have many capital ships, Zaarin's main strength was his squadrons of TIEs, particularly his shielded and hyperspace-capable Defenders. He successfully destroyed the TIE Avenger production facilities in the Omar system. During that campaign, he almost trapped Admiral Thrawn's flagship by using Rebel-developed magnetic pulse warheads as bait, although it backfired when loyalist pilot Stele used the mag pulse warheads to temporarily incapacitate Zaarin's Interdictor Cruiser and Strike Cruiser, allowing Thrawn to escape. Thrawn managed to rescue the TIE Defender prototypes from the research facility in order to develop a new counter, the Missile Gunboat.

Palpatine saw Zaarin as much of a threat as the Rebel Alliance, and appointed Vice Admiral Thrawn to track down and destroy Zaarin shortly before the attempted kidnapping, which Thrawn thwarted; unfortunately, Zaarin escaped completely to the Outer Rim. Zaarin intended to set up a rival Empire. Thrawn quickly attacked, but Zaarin was Thrawn's military match or even superior and fought him to a standstill.

dded in Warlord MTE v6.9.1

-Fixes the scale of all units (space/land) and heroes reducing it to classic WTME more real scale.
-Fixes the cost for all the ships by increasing them with almost 1000 credits.
-Fixes the hyperspace speed for all space units to WTME speeds.
-Fixes the Ant Fighter ships to be less accurate against fighters (From 1.0 to 1.5,2.0,2.5)
-Fixes the combat fighter speeds to WTME settings.
-The ISD and MC get 1000 shield points more (2000 to 3000)
-The VSD has now half of the ISD fighters and will spawn them.

It was impossible to play the game with those original settings (I exited after the first mission) so that's why I made this 6.9. So I can play the game. If you have any bugs report them in the WTME 6.0 topic.

This mod is installed like the WTME 6.0.
