Roadmap April 2023

Hey folks! This is the new roadmap, updated April 1st ( :) ) 2023. Some new spicy additions, and sadly some new mod cancellations due to budget cuts.

Sorry it took so long, we have finally managed to update Asari and the Reapers to RW 1.4.

The mod still requires HAR, Asari are NOT a new xenotype, instead, they are an alien race. Because when you think about it, they really are. They are not mutated humans. They are aliens.

[Release] Vanilla Factions Expanded - Empire

Hey folks and welcome to a breakdown of what the Vanilla Races Expanded - Genies will bring to the table.
