This mod and the descriptions in this post contains mild spoilers, you have been warned.




Release 1.1:
Battlestar Galactica Legends
Extract the contents to the Distant Worlds folder on your hard drive. It will ask you to replace 2 files, say yes if you want to convert Distant Worlds jumps to sound like the ships jumping in the reimagined BSG series.

Battlestar Galactica has been updated for Legends.
This will allow you to play an alternate story of the re imagining of Battlestar Galactica.
"All this has happened before. All this will happen again"
Characters roles are based on their role in the show but have been born in to a Galaxy where the Battlestar Galactica fleet are not the only surviving humans.


Included in this release are unique ship sets for Humans, Cylons and the Cylon Guardians, based on TOS as they appeared in Razor.
Also included are many characters for both the Humans and the Cylons.
All 3 new races are playable with their own victory conditions and unique feel.


Installation
This mod requires Distant World Legends and at least version 1.7.0.2 update or higher.
Extract the contents of this .rar file to your Distant Worlds directory. This will replace the default sound effects for Hyperjumping. I advise you backup your sound directory first. These sound effects work better than the default effects no matter whether you are using this mod or not though

Credit where it is due:
The following people have allowed me to include parts of their work in to this mod.

Thanks to the great efforts of Conflictx I have used his colonial ships:

They may look slightly different than you are used to though ;)

Hmm interesting .

Just wondering if the victory condition for humans is to reach a colonise a certain planet ;)?

Ahh I wasn't really serious. I mean you guys put so much work into these mods, we shouldn't really be demanding new stuff.

Did you find that game is a big laggy with 1702 patch with your mod?

Are you looking forward to the BSG movie? It will be based on the new series.

I'm going to wait for the pilot.

I'd hoped Caprica was going to scratch the BSG itch even though I didn't like the concept anyway. That was a huge let down though and felt like it lacked the character design BSG had, I couldn't even finish the series.

I've not heard about an upcoming BSG movie?

Funny how much hate is being put to the reimagined series in those comments on that link, everyone I know loved it, weird :)

But you never know, the movie might be good. Until then, we got your mod

I hope it is good though, not many Sci Fi movies these days are.

I used Zipitfree with your previous mod with no problems (as well as Igard's ST mod).

I'm try to download it again and I'll see how it goes

I'll give it a whirl tommorow.

What do you think, which other races should I include if I play a bigger map?

Maybe another human empire (if it's possible to have original humans from DW- forgot to check)?

Putting the Cylons on average distance with Young starting and Guardians on Young but distant works out to a nice game. Add in several random starting empires.

Is there a way to add original humans? That way I can have them in the game and I can ally with them vs Cylons :).

Don't worry about it, you must be busy. I jsut thought maybe I could copy all the race stuff from DW legends in BSG folder. I don't know much about modding so that might sound silly.

I have never seen the new series; it looks a little more frightening than the old one... especially with those pics of people in the tubs sweating and looking very unhappy...
The mod is well done!

The new series is pretty dark, as a show about a race being reduced to 40,000 people all fleeing death should be!
