Read this first:
- The Imperial Authority is a stand-alone pack designed to be played without TA: Core Contingency add-on, all you need is OTA with patch v.31. The Imperial Authority pack is not designed to be played with any other pack, starwarsy or not....
If you use the AI properly this pack is practically a TC as the computer won't build any OTA units except when you play on maps which AI profile is not set to airbattle, seabattle or the default AI.
UPDATES SINCE LATEST RELEASE :
- Few New units (yeah I call it a few) [:P]
- The Random crashing bugs on TIE GT and T-47 snowspeeder... fixed!
- The Se-V replaced by the VX-3 sensor due to an unsolved bug
IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Faster Pace... Unit is actually build faster
- Bombers are more expensive
- Lasers are more effective against other fighters
- The cost of several advanced units is increased
- It gives a more serious land warfare aspect
- The OTA turret is replaced by a Starwarsy turret
- The AI now works on all levels, easy, medium, and hard (sure it all depends on how good you are)
PACK INSTALLATION:
- Put the sidedata.tdf, los.tdf, help.tdf and sound.tdf to your totala/gamedata folder. If the gamedata folder doesn't exist then create it. Do not forget to backup the old contents of this folder.
- Put the AI files (.txt) inside the various.zip file into your totala/ai folder. If the folder doesn't exist create it.
don't forget to backup the previous contents of this folder.
- Put all the .ufo files (wanzer.ufo, ImAuth.ufo, Darkside.ufo, Speeder.ufo and uswfiles.ufo) in your totala folder.
PACK UNINSTALLATION:
- Simply remove/replace all the file mentioned above.
Notes about Artificial Intelligence :

SHIELDS, HEALTH TIME and D-GUN issues
- Aircrafts with an automatic health time appear to be build faster than it should be... Watch how the the x-wing, y-wing, tie defender and tie avenger behave and you will see what i mean, the building bar fills up faster than the actual build time... This is a limitation by the way the TA engine works and can't be fixed (thanks to M3G for pointing that out).
- The D-Gun does not work on an AIR UNIT, this is also a limitation of the TA engine and can't be fixed.
