Info
I wanted to get some experience at making races for Galactic Civ 3 so I made the following Mass Effect races:
You can get them here.
Currently they are very basic and use in game tech trees, models, colours, etc. They have unqiue starting systems and appropriate abilities/traits. I have tried to obscure their lore enough so they don't feel out of place in the game, and I have also changed the name of the Volus and Elcor factions, namely from "Vol Protectorate" to "Volus Protectorate" and from "Courts of Dekuuna" to "Elcor Courts", simply to make them more recognizable. And because I was unsure how to make a nomad faction, and did not like the idea of the Quarians settling on another world I chose to give them Rannoch while letting the Geth be on their stronghold at Haestrom.
Play if you like, I just felt like sharing.
Installation Instructions
In his post, Niedzielan gave these concise instructions, so I'll just give a quote:
Extract to Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods using WinRAR, 7Zip, or other extracting tool.Make sure mods are enabled in Options.
To enable mods for your game then go to your options menu, toggle it on, then restart your game.
Alternatively you can go to Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Prefs.ini and edit "EnableMods=0" to "EnableMods=1".
Credits
And also I feel like I should probably give some customary credit to all the artists that I took art assets from to make this. Or at least just post the sources.
Naturally the Mass Effect franchise belongs to EA through Bioware.

Anyone done collectors or systems alliance yet?!
The last patch seems to have broken your mod. They disappeared, and I have had no success reinstalling them. All the races that are in factions are working.
I haven't heard whether anyone else has lost them. I am pretty sure it is not just me I have other mods that stopped working and I was able to fix them.
BTW, great work and I hope I can get them back.
The mods should work, at least they work for me and I haven't touched them since I uploaded them here. Are you sure you haven't disabled mods?
I confirm that the latest update broke this mod. They worked fine before 1.03.
Right, that's because you opted in for the beta patch. Let me just do that one moment and I'll see if I can make it work and upload a new version.
Okay, apparently the mod folder itself is broken. Some in the 1.3 thread is speculating that it is because they're putting in workshop support. If you want to play with this mod before 1.3 comes out officially then I suggest you roll back to 1.2. Sorry for the inconvenience. Not much I can do.
I added you into The Compendium, great work on this .They're already fixing the issue with the mods breaking. Fix should be out shortly so no worries.
That's good to hear.
