This is a mod I made mostly for my own enjoyment. I''ve altered and added things I felt would add more depth to the ship/unit designing experience as well as general gameplay.

The AddOn Mod adds new kind of planets Condensed, Water, Enormous, Gigantic and Ancient as well as new atmospheres Ammonia, Sulfur Dioxide and Hydrochloric with full AI support. It changes graphic to a universe adding dust stars, more stars, planets rotation and planet''s moons. Many other elements are changed and developed: technologies, traits, real-time space combat, etc. It includes five additional empires with complete ship sheets for the mod.

The latest version is 2.00, which is compatible with the US/English v1.79 of Space Empires V.

AddOn Mod v1.3 additional five new empires with complete ship sheets for the mod.

A variation of the game with colonizable asteroids, originally created by Marhawkman, worked on by Exelsiar.

NOTE:
You can also get it via Bit Torrent at our tracker.

This is the first release of Golden Eclipse for Space Empires 5.

This version includes:

Three tier weapon and shield system.
Wide variety of components.
All new tech tree.
