Is this only reforged race?
Yup, only in Reforged mode. You see the trigger option... Pick Human and play the altered race. There are more custom races to be announced, there is the Republic race last month and later, I do Desertborn Orcs and Custodian Guard.

The Sisters of the Empire Race is a faction that combines elements of the ingame Night Elves and Human factions with the overarching Sisters of Battle from Warhammer 40k (particularly with the Penitent Engine reference). Many of the issues that persist in your other submissions persist here - green icons for the DISBTNs, and the map isn't set to HD only, which does make it a lot easier on users wanting to play it rather than expecting them to make the switch. A couple of the heroes mistakenly cost 0 Food (namely Archoness and the Ranger-Librarian), but other than that, resource costs seem to at least exist (Penitent Engine is very confusing, costing 300 Gold and 10(?) Lumber). A nice addition to the Simple techtrees roster, which could use some updating but nothing major :)

Just wait for the revamped and you'll see...
 
Race seems to be a human reskin of night elves with a 40k Sister of battle theme. I love it. I likes additional research options and the custom models However the lack 'new' custom abilities has the race feeling flat as it feels the same as human/elves race and the lack of disable on some icons was distracting in the early game.

However their are somethings that I feel you could improve: (This is just my opinion and throwing out some ideas. if you have a lore/stats doc I'd love to read it. I've read most the flavor text for your custom models)
  • First off I would add more custom abilities. Specially for the heroes as they are iconic for new races.
  • Second would would replacing the Behemoth and Centaur Mystic as they break the cohesion of the models. I believe you have a lore reason for them, but it felt jarring to see them spawn the races building, maybe you could add them a mercenary camps a race specific hire
There some alternate abilities/roles for some the units that popped into my head while looking at them. Separate the race more from base game
  • Dominatrix; Rather than anti-magic give her a chance that on an attack she'd cast a upgradable modified purge on a unit, replace Fatal Accretion with BlueBay's mind control v1.1 Ability (Rename it Dominate), and replace spell immunity with a modified Amulet of Spell Shield ability to allow her to be buffed and a chance for her to take spell or two. Keep Feedback
  • Strike Angel; the model reminds of the Rocket Angel from red alert 3 so I'd thought to give her a similar role. Increase her movement speed and have her be a flying unit (Put those wings to work). Replace healing wave with high cost, small AoE heal (scroll of healing) also give the Barrage ability that targets ground units (Targets up to 3), Keep Arcane Barrier
  • Penitent Engine; Give it a ability called Repent witch causes it to become static but have increased armor and provide a small Endurance Aura for its duration. Drains mana
  • Autarch; Replace Inspire with Spirit Link (Rename it sisterhood)
Some general improvements id recommend are to Implement the ability to chose to play custom race and rename the map name to that of the race so players know which map is which.

Overall I'd give 3/5. Keep up the good work. Your work improves with each map you have made.
