RTS Siege of Settlements
RTS Siege of Settlements is a Forge expansion for the Reign of Nether real-time strategy setup, adding buildings, research, upgrades and balance changes.
What it does
The mod expands the real-time strategy gameplay of Reign of Nether with new buildings, research options, upgrades and mechanics, along with balance changes to existing parts. Its stated aim is to give players more strategic choices in base development and in strengthening their army and defenses against monster armies. Waves are the recommended mode, and the villagers faction is the one meant to be played.
Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Forge 1.20.1 is the only loader and game version covered, with the latest Forge file being 0.4.1 from 2026-09-17 on the beta channel. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Client and server both need the mod, and the project is an unofficial fan expansion affiliated with the original mod developers.
