This is a rework of the races for Sins of a Solar Empire. These are not just small changes either.
For instance the TEC now is ridiculously weak and extremely cheap.
Vasari now truly cannot afford to lose one of their powerful ships and the Advent have more and deadlier abilities.
Also adds new techs and planet modules.
1. Many small changes listed in the readme once the mod is installed.
2. Small bug as the Vasari; the phase jammer doesn't work correctly. It will only affect ships in gravity well instead of entire system.
3. Planned for future release: New race called: Coalition. All the races combined in a unique way. Will not just be mix-up either. All new tech-tree and abilities. However I am not a modeler so no new models. It will use a combination of current ships and modules.
OriginsHD Mod version 1.02
Requires Sins v1.04
Reasoning---------------------------------------------
This mod is intended to provide a unique feel to each of the game's races. I have used the storyline and background
information to assemble most of these changes. Overall you will notice that the Vasari have an early game advantage
and have the most powerful ships. This symbolizes the unexpected arrival and their ancient history. The Advent's
ships are now weaker and have more powerful abilities to show their focus on psionic power not physical. The TEC
have hundreds of weak ships. This shows the TEC's relative scrambling to revert to war. Included is bailknight's enhanced graphics mod.
------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
As of version 1.3 this mod is now installed with a setup executable. If a message that says the directory doen't exist, do you want
to make one so you of course want to click yes.
If you do not have the 1.04 update run the executable in the Origins folder. (This will invalidate all previous saved games.)
When you start the game click options and then mods tab.
A list should appear and you should be able to select/highlight the OriginsHD option.
Click activate, wait a few seconds for the engine to restart.
To tell if it's activated, see if the disable mod is selectable or see if you can check the "start mod on startup" option.
*Note*-The enhanced graphics requires a better computer. If your computer is incapable of supporting this, then after installing
the mod go into the folder and delete all the smaller folders in there except GameInfo, String, ReadMe, and Sins Bonus Pack.

unlockable ability.
