I got a question about the trait:
If i raze the city I have captured, does the rest of the empire still get the bonus for capturing the city?

if have both brave new world and gods n kings u may need both versions of civs. me already had brave new world civs version thou on last computer(win 7) they appeared. however on my new computer win 10. they do not. so i may haffta subscribe to both G&K and brave newworld versios of civs inorder to get em to appear. enable & reenable, subsribe and resubscribe offten don't fix. and win 10 n microsoft edge don't allow plugins for third party security reasons. glicth or bug is hard to say.

I was wondering why it wouldn't appear. Is it possible for you to make it without the need of gods&kings?

I don't need to say anything, again.

@Shadoon - If I recall there was an old glitch like that with the Quarians and them but it was fixed months ago. I'll look into it again to double check.

As for your comments on strength, the Cruiser has a 33% penalty to all land units and can't capture cities, meaning it can't do much without significant support. And I don't really see how it can be very weak and OP.

But I really like the cruiser. But maybe a bit OP. The ship promotion negates the penalty. So there is really nothing you can stop it with...

sometimes when you take a cruiser from land to see, it will transform to a ship and not transform back. so when you go back on land it's a floating ship. I wouldn't mind that much but it is also very weak...

The Terminus Systems have been released.

I am guessing you had to make a personality for the collector general, since he is possesed until death in mass effect.

UPDATE V.4 - The Collectors are more aggressive, more productive, build better infrastructure, and defend their cities better. For exact details on the changes, please view the change notes.

Remember not to update if you want to continue a saved game.

Updated the list of civilisations to include the Terminus Systems.

The Reapers have arrived.

@Itami - Strange, it should work perfectly if you have the Smokey Skies scenario, which is included with G&K I think. I checked mine and it's working fine.

i have a problem with the Cruiser that you can buld, it says that the skin i am guessing isnt working properly, the game can still fucntion, but the picture on the cruiser is complete red, and the "troops" of the cruiser is spearmen. any fix for this?

so who are the collectors? i don't know what they are but the mod looks cool!

The Brave New World versions have been released.

To explain the update, the Collectors were unfortunately underpowered when compared to the rest of the races. While they could get a great science and production bonus they effectively had to make a lot of enemies and sacrifice culture. This is all round a massive buff for the Collectors. They're now granted a gold bonus to make their trait more lucrative and the Processing Vat has been overhauled, also granting increased gold. This will help them sustain a large amount of troops (assuming you capture cities) and will make cities with a large amount of resources even more tactical. The Vat also grants an extra 15 exp, helping to represent them being the "black ops" of the Reaper forces and to again help with them on capturing cities.

UPDATE V.3 - AI updates. Ascension now grants 3% increased Gold from captured cities globally. Processing Vats build cost increased slightly. Processing Vats land unit production modifier decreased from 25% to 15%. Processing Vats gold maintenance reduced. Processing Vats now grants an extra 15 experience for land units built in city. Processing Vats now grants 2 gold for every nearby strategic resource.

Loving these mods, any plans for moving them to BnW?

The Protheans have been released.

@Butler - Just try subscribing and unsubscribing. If not, follow the troubleshooting.

The same thing that is happening to alphamikefoxtrot is happening to me as well. It also happened with Cerberus as well. neither are showing up and I'm subscribed to both of them.

can i get a GandK expansion download for free from one of you? i really like these mods but i cant get any of them.

The Batarians have been released,

I have subscribed to this mod, and it was working fine until I updated it, now it does not appear in the mods section of the game, so therefore I cannot play it, can anybody help?

proccessing vat is dumb make like a brainwashing chamber for the happiness problems idk lol golden age overated

Is this series going to update to brave new world?

@Kratos - Harbinger is going to be the leader of the Reapers, to avoid spoilers for non-ME players.

I would suggest replacing the collector general with Harbinger as the leader of the Collector civ. In the end, he's the one speaking through the collector General, and taking control of ndividual collectors.

UPDATE V.2 - Collector Captains should now spawn consistently, this should fix the Great General spawning problem on all the other civs too. Minor AI adjustments for the Collector General.

The Salarians have been released.

The Elcor have been released.

Any success in solving Great General issue with Collector mod?

The Drell have been released.

@IlMatteo - The Collectors have a slight buff and some tweaks planned for the near future.

I think the AI for the collectors needs some reworking. In all the games I've played, they end up in massive debt with two or three cities, and never conquer anyone. Anyone else experience this?

The Systems Alliance have been released.

can you get gods and kings on steam?

Just a suggestion, but you know how Attila's cities are named from the bottom of other Civ's city lists? What if the Collectors did that as well to represent colonies they captured, like Freedom's Progress or Feris Fields? Other than that I'm loving it so far.

@Raven - I'm looking into this.

@Huitzil

I noticed this as well. With any ME civ. Great Generals will not spawn due to experience only some outside effect. It severely limits Collectors since one of their UU is a GG.

There's a problem with this mod: namely, if you have this civ in the game but you're playing as someone else, you can't get Great Generals. The XP bar increases past 200 in the Militar Overview, but Great Generals never spawn, except when forced by another effect like that Honor Policy and building Brandenburg Gate.

The mod is not showing on the mods list when you subscribe.

what race is next?

The Vorcha have been released.

Now loading it through mod menu, so far so good! Cheers

@Gradrob - Are you loading your save through the mod menu and not the normal start menu?

I do apologise if I missed the answer, mod loads fine, and plays fine, but when I save and reload, game always crashes with all the mass effect civ's I play

@Join Me Link!
Well, games never quite reach the point where the GDR would be useful, and an unusable UU makes a particular Civ not worth playing, I'd much rather have a reasonnable UU from somewhat early-on rather than to have Commander Shepard for like 3 turns and only if I'm messing around.

All right, I would be kicking myself if I didn't bring this up...

When you get to the Systems Alliance, you should make Commander Shepard as their UU, replacing the Giant Death Robot at Nuclear Fusion, costing 5 Uranium (or some ridiculous amount of strategic resources) and give him 300 combat strength. You know you want to...
