Hey, this is my first attempt at modding and this is mostly the result of reworking all the races. I know there are already many mods out there that tweak the races to be more unique. The differences between the races are now major. I have take the original story and taken the race attributes to the extreme. Such as the Vasari ships are easily more powerful now but are also quite a bit more expensive. As a result Vasari ships are rare but when you see one you will need a lot of firepower. The same goes for the other races and their attributes. I have also added in one new tech for Vasari and TEC that unlocks extremely powerful weapons. The Advent has this too but to a lesser extent. To balance they have two techs that allow them advance down one of two paths, Golden Crusade or a Black Crusade. I want it to eventually be once you research one, the other is unresearchable. I'm not sure if this is possible so for the moment they are both hugely expensive making it only possible to do one per game.

I plan on releasing this as soon as I get permission from Bailknight to use the enhanced graphics mod, so Bailknight if you read this please let me know. Everyone else please let me know what you think and if you would like to try it. At its current stage there is only one bug that only affects Vasari players and it may not be perfectly balanced but it is getting there. I have two friends who are helping me test it. Once again please let me know what you think of the idea and whether or not you would like to play it.
