ABOUT LEGION EXPANSION

Created by the Progenitors in the dying days of the Pro-Com war, the Legion represented humanity's last ditch effort to defeat the Machine Liberation Army (MLA). It failed. When the superweapon was unleashed which disabled the MLA the Legion were not spared. Millenia later they have awoken and seek to win the unwinnable war for which they were created, in memory of their masters.

A labour of love put together over the course of one-and-a-half years, this expansion introduces over a hundred new units, forming an entirely new faction equal in size and scope of the original. You can use it in multiplayer, or play against the AI in skirmish, both are fully supported.

The Legion lack the mobility and numbers of the MLA, instead their focus is on raw power. While the enemy are many, the Legion's armour is strong and their guns powerful. They do not focus on early raiding or rapid expansion, rather they prepare themselves to strike a single mighty blow that both begins and ends the battle.

INSTALLATION

The Legion Expansion is installed from the Community Mods section of Planetary Annihilation TITANS. Simply search for "Legion" and choose to install the Legion Expansion. All required elements will be installed. AI support is included within the mod, but for enhanced AI try installing the Queller AI as well.

I appear to be having problems getting the Legion expansion working. I have disabled and uninstalled all but the required mods for Legion, but every time I try to start a AI skirmish I do not have a build menu.

I have reinstalled the game, validated files, removed all mods except for Legion, reinstalled Legion and it's requirements, but I still have no build menu. Is there something I am missing here? Base vanilla faction does not have this issue, so it seems to be Legion specifically.

This typically happens when you have a conflicting server mod also enabled.

The problem is that I have no conflicting server mods. I only have Legion client and server, and the AI framework that is a requirement. I even wiped the mod download folder just to make sure there wasn't anything sticking. I have no mods active or installed besides Legion's hard requirements.

Best bet is to ask for assistance in #modding in PA Discord https://discord.gg/pa

[Quitch]

To use Legion with Second Wave and/or Section 17, install the relevant DAEDLAUS ComPatch mod from Community Mods. This is a workaround pending a fix being applied to Community Mods.
