(COE) Clash of Empires

Clash of Empires is a Star Trek Armada 2 in progress modification set in the TNG era. The modification is designed to be released in race stages much like Achilles Art of War has done. Each release/faction will have a total of 43 ships and 15 stations.

Currently I am working on the Cardassians with 90% of the modelling done, with only a couple of ships and stations left to do. All ships are either re-textures of existing models done by such modellers as Achilles, Aad Moerman or Major Payne or new models either built by myself through use of original content, kitbashes or a combination of the two or by Syf.

Research plays an important part in this modification, more so than the average mod. Also currently I haven’t decided whether to have the mod of Armada 2 or the Fleet Operations platform. It’s something I have been debating for well over a month now and I have yet to come to a decision. However the fleet operations advanced features are really temping.

I do not plan to update this thread all that much to be honest, as I have a full section over on MSFC plus making the models and mod kind of limits my time. However I will try and I would love to hear feedback from anyone and everyone interested.

This is also a long-term project. I originally started it a year or so ago and took a break and started back a few months ago. The pressures and commitments of real life sometimes take priority as they often do.

Now the screenshots as I know a picture is worth a thousand words.

looking good and the amounts of ships/stations your planing to have sounds awsome (any idea on total number of races and wot they'll be?)

Re: (COE) Clash of Empires
 

Nice to see you posting about this mod here as well as on MSFC mate :)

:dropsjaw: Whoa! That is really nice. Will you have some nice Breen? I love the Breen.

Re: (COE) Clash of Empires
 

My plan is first to get the Cardies finished. After which I'll look into either the Dominion or Federation, most likely the former however.

I do certainly plan to at least do the Cardassians, Dominion, Klingons and Federation. However I have in mind of doing the Romulans, Sona and Breen down the track. I some some reference material for them that could give me a few designs and from there I am certain I can make an entire fleet for them out of it.

But it's a long-term project, and something I am taking my time in completing as I really enjoy doing the Cardassians at the moment. :)

Nice stuff Majest, good to see other races are getting the love around here! :)
I can see why your having trouble decided whether to go fleet ops or not.
In an ideal world where we all had unlimited amounts of time, we'd do both but it's hard enough to do one..

Thanks Fireball, yeah I am trying to keep away from the common races a bit. I like them too but I am wanting to try something new and fresh and different.

Re: (COE) Clash of Empires
 

I would leave the Feds for last. There are several mods out that can cover that time frame I can't remeber how far you said the cards were along.

Re: (COE) Clash of Empires
 

Hmmm.... want uncommon races? I can give you a clue as to some that aren't currently in other Armada mods. These race Icons belong to three races.

The 3rd is of a SFC1 race that is well known for yellowish hulls and their energy spheres.

The 1st was of a race known to "appear" out of thin air using gateway technology. As well as the galaxies best computer virus.

The 2nd is of a race that in Klingon means 'outsider'. In DS9, the Sword of Kah'Less was found on a world belonging to this race.

Looks quite good, I like the idea of a modification about the Maquis-Cardassian conflict, was always something (to me) that was never fully represented in the TNG/DS9 series.

I like the idea of this, and it is the first thread I've read in my return :)
