OUT NOW! Join the Community Beta

The Age of Legends: Galactic Overhaul Community Beta is now out! Find out how to access v1.34 below!

Whether you are a long-time reader or a new subscriber, welcome to Age of Legends: The Essential Guide. Paid subscriptions to this newsletter allow me to continue my content creation - not only are you supporting the mod, you’ll get access to Dev Diaries with the latest exclusive updates, and you get to vote on content for upcoming releases! So please do subscribe today.

The Galactic Overhaul adds a huge amount of new content: it’s been the longest development cycle yet, clocking in at 14 months. But it’s worth the wait.

Here is a reminder of what v1.34 includes:

• New units for every single faction

• Completely rebuilt New Republic faction

• Completely rebuilt and massively expanded Galactic Empire faction

• Imperial leadership and regime mechanic

• Customisable Imperial squadron loadouts for Star Destroyers

• Overhauled space tooltips

• New space station system (sell and upgrade space stations)

• New playable faction: Ylesian Republic

• New Galactic Conquest map, ‘28 ABY: The Battle for Ylesia’

• New completely stateless functionality for the Vagaari Empire

• Heavily upgraded AI now poses a serious challenge to the player

• Sound overhaul (with more to follow in subsequent releases)

• New faction colours to enhance readability

• Many tweaks, rebalances, bug fixes

Now, this is a Beta, not the final product. While I hope it will be generally stable, there may be issues. The point of the Beta is not only to give you early access to the new release, but to test the mod.

Please report any issues on Discord with as much information as possible. Missing tooltips, issues with particular units, events not firing, any other random issue you encounter and any crashes (hopefully there will not be many of those).

To play, subscribe with the button below, and if you have previously taken part in an Age of Legends beta, unsubscribe on Steam and then resubscribe. That should resolve any launching issues. To launch, paste STEAMMOD=2858787558 into the launch options.

Have fun! I’m going to be posting an article soon with some cool new things to try in v1.34.

In the meantime, while you’re waiting for it to download, if you are able to donate a small amount or upgrade to become a paid subscriber, you’ll be helping me create a ton of new content! THANK YOU.
