Emperor of the Fading Suns Forum

Problems that need addressing: I made officer/noble type units virtually impossible to hit except by assassin types. This was primarily a multiplayer balancing technique - assassins become absolutely needed, and more effective, for killing officers and nobles. This would have given them a more impo...

Yeah, disbanding starting units will probably kick you in the face when the rebels show up. I think I wanted the houses to have a serious struggle early on, dealing with the rebels and desperately seeking additional food sources, but it looks like I took it a little too far! I'll add maybe an extra ...

I'm 25, live in the USA, and currently work for a local radio station, doing audio work mostly. I don't smoke or drink any sort of alcohol. Been into video gaming for most of my life, primarily on the PC. Favorite genre is strategy, mainly turn-based. Specific TBS titles I enjoy are EFS, Space Empir...

Rebels aren't such a pushover now! Their presence on the home worlds is limited, but they can surprise you if you aren't aware of them. Each house has sufficient starting forces to deal with the rebel threat, though. This isn't the Rebellion scenario!

Which house are you playing as?

I haven't touched it for about a year, but I intend to resume work whenever I'm next in the mood for EFS, possibly later this summer or in the fall. I tend to mod different games in phases rather than constantly, which helps prevent possible burnout.

Just note that this version isn't fully tested (or complete), so there may be some strange things happening (like my forgetting to add rebels to several planets in this version of the map!). Shouldn't be anything game breaking, though.

Let me know what you think of it!

Ask and ye shall receive.

Dead link removed. Check first post.

You can download the manual here, if you don't have it. There's a tutorial in the beginning that goes through the motions, for starters.

Sent you both an email with the tweaks.

Anyone else interested in trying the mod can just send me a PM with their email address and I'll send it as soon as I can.

Modified files please! Wanna try it right away! :D Note that this is still a work in progress, but I can still send them over if you like. I haven't finished modifying the tech tree yet, so some existing entries are either outdated or missing entirely. Slowly getting this fixed. Also, I've just mad...

Download (Mediafire) Download (Google) For several years now I've been tweaking EFS, aiming for a more interesting single player game. The last couple test runs have seen the galaxy come to life more than I've personally seen before. Since the forum has been rather quiet lately, I thought I'd share...

Yes, that does help. Now I can see what the patch changes in the game. Thanks again.

Indeed, I just saw that thread. Thanks!

Was there a readme file for Subversion? In your .rar there's the NOVA readme and what's new, but I don't see any such files for Subversion.

Ah, thank you! I've been looking for Subversion for months, but without success since the site has been offline. Now I can try it out.

(Netscape should have won that case against MS about making people to use a specific browser that happened several years ago). Actually, I think Netscape did win that case. But MS kept shoving IE in regardless, and no one has cared enough to do anything about it. Ah well, I wouldn't have bothered w...
