Thanks a lot for this. They are shunning the Gvts of most Imperial factions and I did already put the Aggression slider to the lowest level. I guess this is it and the New Republic are the same in their heart of hearts as the reviled Empire

Short of instituting Locked Alliances (i.e. permanent wars) within/ between the various factions, I don't think there's any way to 100% prevent any AI Civ from allying with another AI Civ that (per SW canon) they 'should' be opposing.
But there are possibly a few more ways to discourage non-canonical alliances than have been mentioned so far.
For example, I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that Civs with similar Culture are supposed to be friendlier towards one another. I don't know how the Culture groups have been assigned in this mod, but if not already the case, it might be necessary to reassign them as e.g. 'Republic', 'Imperial', 'Neutral', 'Criminal' and 'Independent'.
And/or if Civs themselves can be assigned Flavors(?), it might be possible to use that to give the 'good' factions/ flavors a more positive relationship towards each other, and a more negative relationship towards the 'evil' factions (and vice versa).

"Shunned Government" has two effects:
- The AI Civ itself should never wind up using said Gov.
- It predisposes the AI to have a less friendly attitude to any Civ currently using said Gov.

Take away its ability to build any units with high A-values -- but give it defensive units with high D-values and long-range immobile bombardment units, so it doesn't get overrun...?
I've read a few responses, seems there is an issue with the New Republic acting like a bad guy?
For preventing the always war with the Independents:
With that said, I have reasons for liking the republic as is:
My rational for the war triggers (Independents vs New Republic) is there is no mechanism for planets to join the New Republic, thus they are preventing Imperial factions from conquering those places. Also, in this time period there were numerous wars the republic was involved in. All of which of course were justified defensive wars which at times resulted in "liberating" territory occupied by others. I think the New Republic is trying its best, but with competing factions within and a shaky foundation, it is completely reasonable for them to engage in offensive wars (lets not forget there are numerous Imperial factions still around, plus the New Republic is not even 10 years old - likely there are Senators who have jingoistic attitudes).
Further, (assuming you are playing as the Galactic Empire) my goal was to ensure you couldn't take independents and then have an easy victory against the republic. You will (with the original design), likely get into a cold war scenario where both sides are building arms, in addition likely you will need to cannibalize other Imperial Remnants.
For preventing the always war with the Independents:
- There is a war trigger for the New Republic along the Corellian Trade Spine somewhere south of Hosnian Prime, removing that trigger would prevent the Republic from always declaring war on the Independents.
- Additionally, there are war triggers around Cloud City [Bespin] area (the southern Galactic Empire starting holdings), which sometimes are triggered by the New Republic (these too need to be removed).

Thanks a lot AJB, will just give a try to tweaking some of their attack values and see where that leads us to 
I was just finding indeed that the NR is getting quickly all over the place and becoming a massive juggernaut within 40-50 turns
I will say it again - fantastic mod

If we are still on suggestions for units with GFX here goes:
- The Servator (EAW Remake mod mod: ): a Venator upgrade (different from Mark II introduced in the mod) with less to none carrier capacity / same armour / more firepower --> maybe a unit for Restored Empire or some non main-Imps with a few more points on A (say close to Victory I) and 1 or less carrier but buildable at normal shipyards?
Tech: locked behind Clone Warfare II (like the Stalwart)?

Keeping on with suggestions:
- Lowering to normal shipyard requirement (vs. extensive / capital one) the production of Venator Mk II and Acclamator Mk II for those Civs who have the options to build it, not sure (especially for the Acc II) of the cost / benefits vs Victory SD 1.

Thanks for the continued interest! Unfortunately it has come to my attention that Mediafire has decided to restrict the download due to a copyright claim. Is this causing download problems for anyone? If so, I can separate the music into a another download so people will at least be able to play.

Well I just tried to setup a new project on there, but it's giving me a "request to API failed" error at the moment when it asks for a phone number, I'll have to try again later. Thanks for the suggestion!

Not to register, to create a project. Which is how I assume I am supposed to upload things to this site.Don't thank me yet—I never needed a phone to register.

Granted I haven't actually uploaded in a few years now, but... that's not something I was ever asked for. I hope they're not pulling a Discord...

Absolute tip top! Glad you are still working on this!
Some posts back you were toying with the idea of Yuuzhan Vong wars, still thinking about that? I know (especially with the unit models readily available) I was thinking of making a Galactic war scenario (taking much from Episodes I, II & III). . . If I ever have enough spare time.
FYI, the download for TMA 1.11 (top link on your first post) takes you to the TMA1.10 download. The other TMA 1.11 download lower down in the post works fine though).
