This is a mod that introduces ME universe to Distant Worlds. We are doing our best to reflect the greatness of Mass Effect onto a 4X game, bringing as much lore accurate settings to DW as possible. The mod allows you to play with one of ME races and lead your people to greatness rewriting the history of ME Universe as you see fit. The original DW races are still playable in the mod so you can include them in the struggle for the survival of the galaxy if you so desire. The mod is set at the twilight of the cycle known from the ME games. This means that sooner or later the Reapers will invade and it's up to you to unite the galaxy against them or stand fast on your own. Good luck and have fun! Current mod version is 1.00 Features: -Twelve playable ME races added to the DW ones. Alliance, Turians, Asari, Salarians, Quarians, Geth, Batarians, Volus, Vorcha, Elcor, Hanar and Krogan. -Reapers, (replacing Shakturi) -Custom made shipart for each of the major races. -Over 120 customized characters (generic characters form ME games will be included in future releases) -Customized planets and effects graphics handpicked or made to deliver MOAR EPICNESS -Sound effects and music matching ME setting and epic atmosphere. More will be added as the mod develops. TO INSTALL THE MOD: -Unpack the 'ME mod 1.00' file into your Customization folder in your DW directory. -Start the game and enable the mod in 'custom theme' section. -Start a new game and kick some Reaper ass. (make sure to enable the RoTs and DW:L events and storyline each time you start a new game to enable Reapers invasion) To install the recommended addons: -The files from addons replace original game files so make sure to make a backup before you install anything. -Unpack 'Graphics addon.rar' into your DW main directory, allow it to override the existing files. -Unpack 'Sounds addon.rar' into your DW main directory, allow it to override the existing files. -Start the game, and enjoy. (the addons will work for any mod theme you will play, not only ME) Mod team and contributors: -Kalthaniell- shipsets, plantes, effects and character graphics and txt files. -Quadro7F- character, ui, planets, enviroment and race graphics, race.txt, biases.txt, race balancing, presentation art, CREDITS: -Nach77- alliance ships 3d models.
