The Pony In The High Castle MOD

"We had friendship, and magic, but now, we've lost'em all."
What if...They've won?
In this fictional world, Cozy Glow, Queen Chrysalis and Lord Tirek won the Ultimate Battle (S09E24, S09E25), instead of M6 in the official episodes. In that Ultimate Battle of Equestria on year 999, other creatures did not come to help, leading to the defeat and imprison of M6. Rapidly, after two years of consequent wars, on year 1001, the "Big Three" signed the Canterlot PACT to divide and conquer Equestria: Cozy Glow, now the "Friendship Empress", is the recognized ruler of ponies in Equestria. She uses the magic of an alicorn and the trickery talent to reign the country, and built a medieval feudalism Equestria. After coquering Changeling Empire, Queen Chrysalis took back her power and reverted all Changelings back to the original form. Lord Tirek is interested in magic only, instead of political power. He took away half of Equestrian magic, returned to his centaur hometown and enslaved creatures around. M6 and the sisters are now separately locked deeply instead Tartarus, the place that used to hold the "Big Three". Discord and Starlight lost most of their magic, but managed to escape during the chaos in the Ultimate Battle. While some have followed their path of revolution, most had accepted the failure and moved on to embrace the next era...

@甚么 At present, no relevant content has been produced. To make up for this, the current version of Empire will temporarily declare war on Starlight in 1006

请问星光点完回乡之路之后还有后续内容么,现在连和煦光流都打不了

@DragonSlayerX This is standalone. Downloaded EAW does not affect this mod as long as you don't load it together with this mod.

Comments get deleted? Why do I remember there were at least over 100 comments here about two month ago
DragonSlayerX Jan 18 @ 10:03am 
Is this a submod of EAW or a standalone? Does having EAW downloaded conflict with this mod?
