This new version also includes artwork from modder TerrorBlades, who created Steel Legion icons and is working on Death Krieg and Steel Legion models.

Such problems are not related to the new factions but only to extended startup options. Game devs are working on that issue.



You should pick the Steel Legion Infantry.


* 'The Steel Legion 47th Infantry' is the main thing to play here. It has a new campaign and intro video.

* Another new faction, 'The Imperial Guard' is an expanded version of the vanilla Astra Militarum, with working additional units, edicts, techs etc; but uses the default vanilla campaign. I am not working on this all-around faction in next updates, but on releasing more IG full factions.

Steel Legion 47th Infantry has a very specific mechanized infantry gameplay. This is an Infantry Regiment, so it has access to more infantry options than the new Imperial Guard, some special Steel Legion units, but less tank options.

Expect to take many losses too and to have to send men back and forth to the frontline! Use Cadre units! Use APCs to transport units back and forth!



Steel Legion Units include:

• Light infantry units such as Conscripts.
  
• HQ Detachments such as the Astropath, the Master of Ordnance and the Ministorium Priest ;
  
• Command units like the Platoon Command, Commissar, Company Command ;
  
• Fast attack vehicles such as Bane Wolves, Devil Dogs or Hellhounds ;
  
• Armored transports like the Chimera APC ;
  
• Missile vehicles like the Manticore and support artillery such as the Wyvern.
  
• New Discipline mechanics for lmperial Guard infantry units.

And more are coming.



Work has begun on the Death Korps of Krieg!

I am currently implementing a Siege Regiment, which will give a different gameplay than the current Steel Legion infantry or the all-around new Imperial Guard.




* New factions are expected, such as Space Marines Chapters later.

* Check the Patreon page[www.patreon.com] for more information about coming factions and units! Your support will be loved and make me go ten times faster, but of course it is not required (mod is released for free).

* A new campaign feature is also in the works. It would allow to play scenario after scenario in a chained campaign. Again, check the Patreon page[www.patreon.com] to if you want to support this gameplay feature! (I know I know, lousy advertisement! ;) )


========================================



For now this mod adds 21 New Units, 36 New Techs, 9 Weapons, 1 New Campaign, 1 New Intro Video, many new buildings, and new abilities such as imperial doctrines and national decisions.

New game goes up to research Tier 13 and also has superstructures and endgame buildings which occupy 3 slots.

As of now it is "just" an imperial guard expansion, but once it will be complete it will reach its greatest ambition which inspired its name:

... ETERNAL WAR!


This requirement about AI should be removed soon in next updates, once the game is perceived as stable enough and balanced.




The mod aims at being a huge remplacement for the Astra Militarum; you should hopefully never have to get back to vanilla AM. :P



Currently poor art-wise; icons are OK but do not expect great models.
Some balance problems are expected.

Includes the latest versions of the "New Parameters Mod" I released ( here ) which adds many density, difficulty and map options.

Previous version included the "Dangerous Planet" expanded by Jaylo, and new versions might too.

There is an obsolete but still interesting documentation here:

And a now obsolete Testing Playground[docs.google.com] with complete unit roster list and space for your feedback.
