Hey all, for those looking for an update I made one here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3256009116
I also updated the weapon tags so imperials should show up with a variety of outer rim imperial weapons

Update?

Excelent mod, but troopers spawn without weapons, it takes away all the fun.

Absolutely love this mod! Lately, though, the imperials have started spawning in without weapons. For now, my Mandos remain honorable enough to unequip weapons and engage them in fisticuffs.

HI. when playing with the mod i noticed that all of the troops that are from the overhauled empire spawn without weapons, and armour. Other than that, the mod works perfectly.

You may be aware of this already but Oskar and his guys are working on a VFE mod for Sophian Deserters which looks like it's going to really expand the conflict between the Shattered Empire and Deserters, including stuff like "Imperial Propaganda" etc. If you were ever to expand into the VFE: Empire content the Rebel Alliance could make an awesome basis for a Deserters analogue - it looks like it's going to be a pretty exciting set of content, so who knows!

This is great - this is something I wanted to see for a while now but I haven't learned how to mod enough to do it myself. Thanks so much for putting this together!

They seem to enjoy their balls and parties in Andor. :D

Dancing at a ball with local big wigs seems like a very moff thing to do though...unless you are Tarkin, then you just release the lions at them

Weapons and armors please <3, when I loaded this mod with VFE-Empire, it did not let me open the Hierarchy/Vassals tab (button on the UI with the crown emblem)

Yeah, I know. But it's unlikely to happen as it would require me to change non-XML content such as the ball and the gallery. I'm not a fan of having a Grand Moff dancing around my base, haha. I might just patch the weapons though.

WageGap is right! How would one make a compatibility patch for VFE: Empire?

Imagine this + VFE- Empire new mod, epic combo...

I started just like that - patching industrial weapons to the VFE's Classic faction. :D

Feel free to look at my XMLs and steal some bits - that's the best way to learn.

Yeah, I'm just getting started diving into faction modding. Seems like quite a beast, usually i just make small tweaks or patches for myself so this is quite a step up lol. I'm really interested to see what else you put out.

Hoping that your mods will help steer me in the right direction, maybe I'll have something together eventually that is worthy of publishing, to accompany your mods and flesh out a star wars setup.

Thanks! I've hit a few walls for the rebel faction, so I temporarily moved to other businesses, namely base building and ship building.

But yeah, I saw El's Rebels Alliance, it seems pretty well done and could solve my problems. Who knows. :)

Really appreciate these two faction mods you made. I was planning to do something similar when I found the new Outer Rim series.

I'm actually hoping to do something similar with VFE Pirates with mandalorians, including retextures of warcaskets to use Outer Rims mandalorian armors as I feel like they fit really well with the mandalorian aesthetic.

Have you seen the mod "Els Rebel Alliance"? I just saw this, and I believe it could fit well for a faction to use for a rebel alliance and be more fleshed out than the standard faction is (no offense to the main mod, they're just a basic faction like all vanilla factions).

Might be of interest to you if you're planning on doing more of these singularly targeted faction mods.

Glad to hear! I'm thinking about adding bases and rebels, but that might be done on different mods. "Royalty Empire" Rebels also won't be compatible with this one since there's only one Royalty Empire faction. That is, unless there's a way to fix that using XML. To investigate.

Very cool, haven't encountered any issues. If you have the time, you could do the same mod for Mandalorians, Rebels and Sith aswell.

Awesome! I know a mod that adds custom bases, maybe you could use code, or whatever you need for the Imperial bases, from there.
