War of Empires is a major mod that aims to add three new races to the HW2 universe, implement global gameplay changes, and change the game in other small ways to make the gameplay faster and more fun.
In development for several years before the initial release, WoE is a mod of varied and somewhat eclectic strategies, adding, for instance, a supercannon that can fire clear across a small-to-mid sized map, an entire race based upon swarm tactics, and buildable dreadnoughts.
Made by a gamer bored with "realistic" mods, WoE has and forever will ignore many of the laws of physics and/or material sciences. The only purpose of this mod is fun and nothing but, ignoring such wastes of energy as back story or detailed scientific explanations.
All in all, if you're looking for a fast and crazy game, WoE is a great choice.
***Installation note: DL the big file version, it'll save you a bunch of trouble. Put it and the trail patch of choice into the HW2\data directory, then add "-mod WoEv0.5b2.big,WoEv0.5b2_trails.big" (or WoEv0.5b2_notrail.big) to the end of a shortcut's target line. You must have one of the trail patches, HW2 will not work right without it.
