Every faction now has its own starting bonus, depending on the side of the “history” you’re joining in. This gives the game a major speed boost in terms of less research and more action early on.

If you think vanilla Sins needed a little tweak to become the game you thought it was, this mod will not only make you feel satisfied but will also defy you.įirst of all, it rearranges the factions to the same three (renaming them) with their loyalists and rebels but with HUGE differences: a unique tech-tree which comprises technologies that will help you obtain the very best of the option you’ve chosen, early unit, and buildings unlocked, technologies and abilities.Īll these new techs will take you deeper into the faction you’ve selected: you felt that TEC rebels were just a bunch of passive-aggressive people flying around a space gun? Well, now they even start with the capacity of building siege and structure ships without researching them! Not only will power up the vanilla experience but also has been updated to be compatible with some of the newest mods available. Mod Spotlight: Enhanced 4X - Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion It uses as an example the Interregnum beta mod, which I featured as it’s the most recent one I could find. Just remember to follow the steps correctly and activate the mods in the correct order too. If you don’t know how to install mods on Sins of a Solar Empire, I’ve found this video which explains pretty clear and easy what needs to be done. Others offer visual improvements like texture packs, visual effect packs and so. Some of them are really old but still getting love from their creators and community.Īlso, there’s something else you need to know: not all mods out there are about a new world inside the game some incorporate a few more tweaks for the vanilla game like the E4X mod, with more technologies, balancing, and stuff.

Maybe it won’t be complete, but most of them are totally functional and addictive.įirst of all, remember that SoaSE is quite an old game so you must look for the last update or release date of the mod you want to install. Just stay tuned to their social media, especially Twitter, and you’ll get a heads up about these events.ĭo you love Star Wars, Star Trek, Halo, Stargate, and almost any space-themed movie, series, or game out there? There’s probably a mod for SoaSE about it. The community behind these projects are still so active, hearing people, launching patches and updates every now and then (and for free), and even the developer holds events using these community-made mods on a weekly basis. This is one of the greatest features Sins has: its mods. Games may bore people after some time playing them maybe the developer is no longer paying attention to its product, people are also bored about the same mechanics over and over again, stale lore or wanting new stuff, and more.
