Confederate Uprising is a small mod I made over the course of around 5 days. No, this is not for the SMC, this was made out of sheer boredom. :P

Basically, it replaces the Terran race with my version and speculations of the Terran Confederacy. Protoss and Zerg are not modded, so don't bother looking for changes on those sides. There is also no AI for the Confederacy, so you either have to play against Zerg or Protoss, or another Human.

Here are the units that the confeds have:

{Infantry Units
SCV
Conscript - basic marine, somewhat lesser then normal marines.
Storm Trooper - Fires out plasma lances, and has a sexy electric blue Marine GRP.
Medic - normal (Well, somewhat lesser then normal, I removed the Optical Flare)
Dark Ghost - Pretty much as it sounds, its dark, its a ghost, but cannot use nukes or lockdown. But, it does have a powerful attack.
Rocket Trooper? I might add this according to popular demand}

{Vehicles
V11 Vulture - New Graphics, fires lasers. Slightly less HP
Bulldog - Its a Goliath with a missile turret on top. Freaking awesome, no?
Siege Tank - Normal (It still plays a decent role though, don't worry)
Assault Tank - A four barreled all-out destroyer tank

{Air Units
WF-01 Wraith - Light wraith
WF-02 Heavy Wraith - heavier, Fires out missiles for ground, Flak shells for air. Has the Lockdown Ability
Raider - Raider GRP. (Duh :P) Hammers targets repeatedly with missiles. Fires out small lasers for air attack.
DDI-32 Ion Destroyer - Big, gray Merc Gunship GRP from the SC beta. Fires ion beams, and has 2 main attacks: 1: Yamato gun. 2: Thermal Nuclear Strike, which is a lesser version of the nuke
Utility Ship - Plays role of SciVessel, Casts defensive Matrix. Can also carry units}

I plan to release it by the end of the week, or whenever I can get another testing round in. If you want to test it, just PM me.

Oh, also, this mod is for 1.15.1 only. That means you have to downgrade.

Lol at "Damn you Polaris" and "GENOCIDE IS FUN". Add Rocket Trooper nao. And btw, how does the Confederacy have shields while neither the Dominion nor the UED have any? I commend you for making mods out of sheer boredom.

I've seen it before, and this seems as good a place to ask as any.

How do you mix&match units/buildings?

You modify the unit .grp using some fancy modding tool.

It's just an exercise in photoshop literacy. You select and crop out portions of units and blend them into existing ones, or make some crazy amalgamation of them. It's not like there's any one tool that lets you interchange and swap parts for a unit (not that it'd even be possible, really).

I shall add the Trooper. And the shields are Defensive Matrix, not protoss plasma shields. (as far as I know, I may have accidentally put it on a unit)

It appears that Storm Troopers have shields.

Bug: when using Defensive Matrix the original Vessel Turret overlay overlaps the new modified BC grp.

Bug: there is no unload button or load button for the Science Vessel. You can still load a unit, but it is impossible to unload.

Possible Imaginary Bugs: I think that two different units are called Confederate Utility Vessels, and there was an upgrade that said it upgraded the Ion Destroyer, but in reality did nothing. *Disclaimer* May be entirely fictional.

I wont, thanks :) Actually, that wasnt intended to be a bug, its just I had like, 5 minutes to go before the release, and I was like "Ummm, lets just make this transparent instead of removing it." ;)
