Scion Custom Races Campaign Upgrades

This project is designed to be used as a dependency for your projects utilizing the Scion Races. It's focused on adding 3 upgrades to every unit, 6 passive upgrades (such as fire suppression systems), and 12 heroic abilities (Think Spear of Adun or a Kerrigan ability) for every race in Solstice's "Scion Custom Races" mod. These upgrades are designed to be strong and utilized in a campaign setting, perfect for custom campaigns or for race swap campaigns. Unit upgrades are designed to be enabled one at a time, mutually exclusively by default, so if you'd like to enable two or more at a time, you will need to adjust the passives buttons on the respective command cards.

 

Note: These upgrades have not been field-tested in a campaign yet, so values are subject to change.
