The first half of the video shows a very fun space skirmiss battle where you watch several additions and improves. Of course, I can make simple shadows faster than complex shadows and with the amount of different models, better a faster work.Īs always I have recorded a video.

Now the simple shadows do not proyect too much shadows inside the model but they proyect shadows over other models when they fly over them and close. As you can look, these models have lights painted in the texture, if I had added complex shadows, it had overwritten these lights and it had showed them badly.

Probably you will be thinking what is a simple shadow. I have added smoke damage effects, simple shadows, weapon improves and more. It was a very good idea, simple, easy of to create and fun.Īt the same time, I improved all the models from these races as in the other main races. These new variants add external turrets with weapons as a defense ring.Īs you can look at this image, the model add several objects around it, they are phaser turrets. Now I have added several level stations for each one of these factions but I have not made the usual variants. In the previous version from the mod, these factions had not more of one starbase level and it could be enough in galactic conquest but in skirmiss it could be a problem, specially because without different research levels, the AI could easily to build a big fleet destroying all your defenses easily. In time there will be more but by the moment I have these races as in the old Star Fleet Command II game, curiously named Empires at War. They are the Mirak, Gorn, Hydran, ISC and Lyran. This week, I have been with working with the new additional factions.
