Any chance of you adding this to Beyond Earth?

The Drell have the same issue as the vorcha, being that there are few named ones. I suppose the leader works, for that reason.

@Bigbob - Yeah they're getting nerfed next update, but that wont be for a week or so.

The growth of cities in desert is a bit op for me, but other than that i really like the mod! Thanks =P

The Terminus Systems have been released.

Updated the list of civilisations to include the Terminus Systems.

The Reapers have arrived.

ok no probs cheers

@Revan - Not sure, they had a design overhaul.

when will the reapers be ready to play?

This civ is the most broken one since krogan v1, or maybe even more broken, I've done some testing and the worst game out of 4 games was a 312 turn science victory on immortal, the best was a 239 turn science victory. I had 1.6k science with 5 cities, the most powerful one reached 500 alone and 252 production, just simply broken. Please remove the oasis culture bonus and give it only like 1 food, or disable petra on the civ

This civ is almost broken in the desert...with the desert start bias and a speed teck to the Petra, I've seen Thane get up to 45 Pop by Modern Era...that's without Medical Labs, Hospitals, Temple of Artemis, or the Hanging Gardens.

absolutely killer in the desert. But the assassin is kind of useless in my opinion. he is way too expensive to build or buy. And in Renaissance he is the only unit to conquer cities. You can't build riflemen so all I had was crossbow and siege...

I think the Drell should of been a City-State...

The Brave New World versions have been released.

UPDATE V.4 - AI update.

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

@Cpt Victory - Man it's been almost a month, I'm sorry I missed your post. Anyway probably not, you'd effectively have to recreate the vanilla civs.

@Pluvia is there any chance for the next updates to all the mods to have them titled/start with Mass Effect so they're easy to activate all of them in mods browser?

@pluvia is there a way to get the bonuses from the mass effect civs onto a civ from the game?

The Protheans have been released.

I hate mass effect 3 if only for how they handled thane! That man would not be in the hospital during his final days, he would be by my side on the normandy and he would of died on the battlefield along with everyone else from mass effect 2!

Good work with the mod though!

The Batarians have been released.

@Darkblade - Yes, though not perfect.

Are these mods okay for use in Brave New World?

Good old Thane. he broke one of my Shepard's heart. :). Again, thanks for all the mods.

The Salarians have been released.

@Wraith - Sounds alright. The Drell get bonuses for Faith, Gold, Culture, Growth and one of the best units in the game. A reduced city taking ability in the mid game, especially on a race which isn't combat based, sounds like an alright trade.

My only problem with the Drell civilization is actually a pretty big problem for me. You take the primary melee unit, and make that the unit that is upgradable into the assassin. I would think that a ranged unit would make more sense. I generally have seven or more musketmen that become stagnant because of the massive upgrade cost as opposed to my three or four crossbows. This means I have to stick with musketmen as my primary melee unit until I reach Great War Infantry because everything else suffers a penalty for attacking cities, or is unable to attack cities. So from shortly after the point that I should be getting riflemen until I reach great war infantry, my offense must stagnate.

The Elcor have been released.

@Triston and TheJangler - Can't do that.

hey pluvia when you are done making all the civs, is it possible to make the civs more graphical? like make the units look more like the alien? or can you not do that

You wont find it in his profile, but in the coments. I think he said it in the Krogan Civ area.

I know you put in a lot of work with these civilizations and honestly they are beyond amazing. I am having a lot of fun playing all of these civs. One question though, will you be making unique units for everything? Just seeing human warriors under the alien races banners cause me to twitch a little. Of course, this is asking a lot and I am sure other people have asked before but with the qucik research I did in your profile I didnt see an answer.

tho i wouldnt mind having all mass effect races colonize a single planet, do their diplomacy menu move, or do i have to stare into his big black eyes the whole time..

@Overlord - Will have to wait for BNW versions.

I plan on buying A Brave New World, will i still be able to play these mods with the expansion downloaded? Or will i have to wait until you make the Brave New World versions? (I believe you mentioned making seperate version for A Brave New World at one point.) (May be a stupid question, but i want to be sure.)

Wonderful job! Played a game on a desert map and as expected the Drell were excellent. Keep up the good work.

Sounds pretty sensible, Pluvia. Nice work.

UPDATE V.3 - The Sea Temple no longer provides +2 production on desert tiles. The Sea Temple now provides +1 production on each nearby flood plain. Massively increased the cost of producing the Assassin.

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

I think it's pretty OP that desert hill tiles get the +2 food to go along with their normal +2 production.

@D3ND - Cheers for pointing that out, will fix it in the next update.

@dorseymatt - The Sea Temple will be adjusted, but the Assassin can't do anything any city taking units. If your opponents aren't using any of the units that are used to take cities then they don't really deserve to take the city in the first place, plus when compared to the other races the Assassin can't do anything to pretty much all the UU's. The Rachni and Collectors even each have a city siege UU which completely ignores the Assassin.

Pluvia -- with this civ and the right start, nobody is getting to armor or aircraft before the game is essentially over. I am not that great of a player, but I finished around turn 230 science victory (verrrrry early for me) with the Drell and had 4 or 5 coastal desert cities. Maybe it was just a really lucky start. Anway, one-shotting any non-seige unit that comes within three tiles of a city is super, super powerful. With one or two melee meat sheilds, I just don't see that city falling.

Not sure if anyone's already mentioned this, but I believe you have a typo on the civ loading screen. "But Thane, can you(r) guide and protect your..."

been following all your ME civ updates, and glad to see what you did with the Drell (and all of them!). Can't wait until you're done with all of them and I can play an all-ME all-races game =)

@dorseymatt - It's only 2 production in coastal desert cities, which are even rarer. Assassins can't do anything to siege, armor or aircraft, meaning that if you want to protect your city it would smarter to place a siege unit there, rather than a unit that can't hurt city taking units.

Sounds good, Pluvia. Two food and two hammers for every desert tile, before improvements, is pretty nuts. I was building assasins in 3 turns! But yeah, very fun. I can't possibly see how anyone could take a non-coastal city that an assassin was stationed in, though. Would you think about nerfing assassins in some way while they're based in a city? Is that even possible?

самая крутая расса..

it looks cool

@dorseymatt - Will adjust the Assassin so military power score isn't as great. Though, while the Assassin is a good deterent, it can't really be used on the offense and it'll eventually get to the stage where the AI's will attack you anyway, and one hit and your score will drop dramatically.

As for the desert stuff, will most likely adjust the Sea Temples bonus.

muy curioso....esta bien
