The AddOn Mod adds new kind of planets Condensed, Water, Enormous and Gigantus as well as new atmospheres Ammonia, Sulphur Dioxide and Hydrochloric. It changes graphic to a universe adding dust stars, more stars and planets rotation. In a relation to the Balance Mod, supply abilities of planets were rebalanced, a few changes to the technologies of facilities were added as well as Hostile Atmosphere trait. Changes in an arrangement of science groups were made and a mud section of the galaxy was added in starting options. All above new as well as older elemets are balanced appropriately.

AddOn 1.2 Mod is a general mod changing the main elements in the game. But it's structure allows new ideas to be included. The goal is to make a new level of 4x game ( SE5) including every enjoyable elements all together.

The latest version is 1.20, which is compatible with the US/English v1.79 of Space Empires V. It includes Captain Kwok's Balance Mod v1.19g AI.

This patch allows BM 1.09 games to be played in the SE5 1.58 patch. It's primarily intended for v1.09 PBW games, but it does have an AI update for those that wish to carry v1.09 Balance Mod saved games to the v1.58 SE:V patch. Note that you need v1.09 installed prior to applying the patch.

Detail Info for 5.0
------------------------------
* Nomad Comps

Allows players to build a space base empire. No AI support.

* Loan System

A system that allows empires to apply for loans to help with hard economic times. The loan system uses a 30 yr fix term. This system also adds a saving account setup so player with resources can gain interest off those resource. But if an empire doesn't make their payments, watch out for the repo man. The AI is supported.

* Mercenary System

Adds the ability for an empire to hire Mercenary ships by building them at a very low cost. The plus side to Mercenary ships are that they have slight more powerful weapons and armor, Can be build faster, and more a slight increase in to hit. The down sides are that all the ships in system with a Mercenary ship will take a hit on exp, the maintenance cost is the same as normal ships, if the Mercenary ship is out number by enemy ship in system some will run away, and if a system has to large a percent of Mercenary ship to normal ship the Mercenaries in system may take over that system.

Crimson's SEV Site for Crimson Concept Mod, Highlighter, Blog, and Other things SEV

SEV version of Dark Nova mod. The main concept of this mod is Diversity. Development of this mod will be in stages.
5.03 includes several new ship sizes (scout, escort, corvette, worldship), lots of new unit types and dedicated ship hulls.

Another addition is lots of new Unique Ruins techs. Many new Uniques including Enhanced ship hulls techs.

Further versions will add more Enhanced techs and Cross-over Techs.

arthurtuxedo's reworking of Captain Kwok's Balance Mod, featuring a 3 tiered ship system and more.

arthurtuxedo's DJAS mod version 30.

DJAS mod is built from the Balance Mod (what isn't?), but completely overhauls the weapons, vehicle sizes, and armor / shields.

Weapons, armor, and shields have quasi-infinite tech trees with 100 levels, but with 2 research Breakthrough techs that usher in powerful new weapons and defenses. The breakthrough techs are expensive, though, so a player must be careful when to research them. Too early and one will be left wide open to an early rush. Too late and you will be facing an opponent with hyperadvanced tech.

A starting player has access to all ship sizes right away, and they all get bigger together. Bigger is not necessarily better, but you will need big, small, and medium ships to win. Every vehicle type is countered by another, and there is no one size that will carry a player to victory by itself.

Please note, this mod has no functioning AI and is multiplayer only. There are no plans to implement AI.

Changes since the last posted version include many bugfixes and improvements to game balance and TIE Fighter-style mines.

There are a host of other features in this mod, such as sensor arrays, capital cities for homeworlds, a new take on mines, and a variety of customized mounts.

DJAS now has WORKING AI, so go kick some computer behind!

Versions labeled 32+ will be savegame compatible with version 32. If a new version is still labeled 32+, you can update without breaking your savegame.
