Here will be posted info about Armageddon Expansion mod .
This is a combiner-like mod, that require a presence of both "Black Templars" mod and "Steel Legion for SS" mod installed

Goal:
- Fix, tweak and rebalance some issues of SL race implementation (with which ones I was disagreed during "Steel Legion" mod porting to SS )
- Add some new features.

- Full integration of the Steel Legion map pack , (If I'll be able to get a permission Permission recieved), to avoid problems during multiplayer games.
- (Probably) Add some scenarios / rules for Steel Legion Map Pack
- (Finished) Completely remove a soulstorm-FX from game's main menu screen.


Balance(gameplay) difference from "Steel Legion for SS" mod:
- Overall, race is subject to be nerfed.
- Commissars are available to both branches, cannot detect
- Commander's health much less than health of Imperium's counterparts Commanders. ( now Imperial Missionary is weaker than SoB.Confessor, Yarrick looks weaker than SM.ForceCommander) )
- Mechanised Infantry (Armoured Fist) Doctrine reduce recruitment time and requisition cost of commanders.
- Disable a Build Order in which first Leman Russ (Vanquisher) is available VERY early

Spoiler

As it was: Generator,Generator,Relay Station,Tier2_research,Vehicle_Factory and voila!

Planned Finished
- Fix the Rough Raiders tracer FX (Now it is laser, not bolter tracer)
- Bigger explosion and damage from Cyclops demolition vehicles

Desired (ideas for future):
- Commissars can garrison inside Chimeras
- Return of Dragon Teeth fields (at least for human players) ?
- Add a Valkirie landing animation to the Observation bunker "producing troops" motion (Armoured fist branch).
- One good but secret unit
