Woot! Star Wars is coming out tonight! Hope everyone is having a great day. I will be reading comments starting tomorrow. If I see any spoilers posted today on this video.. even jokes will be banned. -.- You have been warned. Have a great day! :D
+TheXPGamers You recently tried the Ascendancy mod but it was an older version. There is an alpha going on right now for the next version that adds in two complete factions and finishes the ones that are in already. If you ask the mod author I'm sure he would let you showcase it.
+A. Ahmou Yeah, that remains pretty much my favorite Starwars game period. they're even making a tabletop card game version loosely based on it. Coming out sometime in 2016.
+A. Ahmou If you could take the overview of Rebellion but replace its space battles with those in Empire at War, you'd have the ultimate Star Wars grand strategy game.
+MarioFanaticXV Meh, i think the space battles are one of the best done parts of Rebellion (aside for them coping out and giving the rebellion pretty much identical ships to the empire after the Mon Cal crusier research, even though to this day the expanded universe Republic has NEVER reached that level of comparable strength of space ships that the empire could field nor has ever used an interdictor style ship). The rebels/new republics strength was always on their fighters, being cheap, and fast. EaW is a bit too arcady for my tastes for it's space battles. Heck they even made the Support crusier a bruiser ship even though in the actual universe it was only comparable to a dreadnaught in offensive power (since it was a Dreadnaught but stripped down and refitted) but much faster and due to external hangers being added could hold a lot more fighters. (though the carrack crusier on the empire side was also pretty heavily nerfed compared to what it should've been...a high damage repair rating similar to the mon cal due to it's reenforced systems, and a lot more armament then the one they had in game gave. It's only useful as an early Pre-lancer anti-fighter craft, where as in the actual universe it's a solid all-around good crusier that is easily a match or better then most stuff the rebels could field until post-Nebulon B, and actually has a similar load out to the NB). It's the planetary assaults that could use a little more fleshing out, since it's just a single pass/fail dice roll, instead of any real strategy involved aside for packing your most defensive troops on a planet and then most attack heavy ones on your ships. I would've liked to have seen more specialization and usefulness out of the actual troop types. Such as fleet officers giving better detection rating on ships then other troops and/or improved fleet responsiveness but don't assault, and depending on the planet terrain type certain troops being more or less effective, such as the mechanical units being better on planets with wide open or inhospitable terrain like on Hoth but less effective on planets with terrain less suited for mechanical stuff like Kaskeyek or Tatoonie.
Adolf Hitler Actually nein mein fuhrer, he died, his spirit then claimed a clone, came back to mess up the New Republic, then was killed twice more and finally defeated. Lucas himself loved the Dark Forces Trilogy, and The Thrawn Trilogy beats the films hands down. So no, bad it started over with what they've given us. But to each his own.
Adolf Hitler I won't disagree with that, large parts of the EU were just shit. Those two, Rogue Squadron, were all good, the New Jedi Order was hit and miss. Regardless have to wait and see what Disney does, but I fear they'll just milk it like they do Marvel.
+xXx_Sniperkill3r_xXX true I didn't read the smart ass comment below about Vader's No!!! lol... now that I'm laughing I feel hella stupid, my bad!... but seriously, people are falling for that crap.. can't blame me for not having any patience whatsoever for dipshittery....... btw, Snoke is Darth Plageuis who was "killed" by his apprentice 'Palpatine'.... MOST POSSIBLY! not completely sure but the clues add up, we'll be waiting til episode 8 to find out so I didn't spoil nothing!
+LEGOSHADOWSPARTAN Yeah me too, I had hoped that with the hype around the new movie they would notice this game again and do something with it. They brought back Battlefront for this reason so why not EaW?
+LEGOSHADOWSPARTAN They should at least add more anime voice actors in the new EaW. I'm dying to hear Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff, Karen Strassman and Kirk Thornton on it.
Jan Dodonna is the guy from A New Hope that plans the destruction on the death star and explains the plan to the pilots, he is also known for designing the A-Wing.
+Armadrag123 uh, thing about A-Wings in canon: They are using a_Wings in Rebellion, which is waay before Yavin. Does anyone know when Dodonna designed them? I kinda fear they chanched something up there as well... And you need to mention that Dodonna survived a long time in Lusankya.
***** right, I remember Tycho saying in one of the X-Wing novels that they came in super slowly and with a very "individual" cockpit-design during Yavin and shortly after. :D
Watching star wars force awakens tomorrow. And this mod looks like the BEST EAW SWFOC Total conversion mod EVEEEEEEEEEEER! Like holy crap i just LOVE the look of this mod and im going to download it now. Grats to the creator.
+TheXPGamers Shack! Here in Australia, we saw it midnight release just as it turned 17th. Not going to post spoilers, but I will say that JJ Abrams did NOT let us down. Great movie.
the first cut scene is the end of the Rebel campaign in the 90's game Star Wars: Supremacy as it was called here in the UK. I used to love that game :)
i think a campaign in the extended universe (all the fleet admirals have gone their own way, rebels are taking ground, criminal factions pop up everywhere) and being able to choose whichever faction you want and having to deal with the dozens of other factions, including other empire fleets especially if you choose one of em, at once would be cool. the video setting just assumes all the fleets stick together.
You should build up planetary defenses when you do ground campaigns. Before you end a battle, build turrets of various types across the map. They should still be there if the enemy attacks the planet later, and will provide a lot of vision and map control.
you know what an interesting mod? the inclusion of all factions of star trek and all the sides of the star wars universe. klingons vs the rebels, the federation vs the Republic, the sith empire vs the galactic empire so on so forth. would be a massive mod but would be something well worth investing time into. if i knew how to do such a thing i would
That cutscene was from an late 90's game similar to Empire at War, I think it might have been called Rebellion at War, but not a 100% sure, it has been a long time
the intro video and most of the videos of that mod are from STAR WARS REBELLION... the grand daddy of Empire at war... very fun and complex game... you should made a lets play of that game men... really really good game
a Thrawn like admiral has been introduced in the new canon, it is very unclear who he actually is he could be thrawn because he's not been actually named or properly described yet but the way others talk about him makes you think it could be him.
25:54 while I wouldn't call the new movie the best one yet, it's still pretty damn good, a solid start to the new trilogy and most definitively far better than any prequel bullshit.
+Alex Farrel There is. The gamespy servers are long gone, but you can still use the LAN multiplayer to play with others online, by using programs by the likes of tunngle or evovle.
I watched your entire republic at war gameplay a year late but was craving for an empire variant, i could be wrong but I don't think you did one since I couldn't find it, but if this is a series, I'd love it
the rebel fleet takeing coruscant is actually the rebels victory cinamatic form star wars supremacy/rebellion as it is known in some countries. its from 1995 on winows 98. great game ot play...even if it is rather old.
the empire has weakened and the new republic is in struggling to establish themselves. it is time for the New Sith Empire to rise from the shadows and reclaim the Galaxy!
Where can I get a hold of this MOD and how do I get it installed/works? I've never played anything but the original game so it would have been cool to try some of the MODS out there. Appreciate any help that is given. Merry christmas and a happy new year everybody! :)
Petition for Starkiller Base to be added to the game. (This is only a spoiler if you don't know anything about Star Wars VII/ haven't seen any trailers and interviews or read any articles involving the film's characters and setting)
The cut scenes & characters are borrowed from Star Wars Rebellion/Supremacy - RTS 4x game from way back in the late 90's, similar to Empire at War but without the better graphics although its a better game in certain respects, downloadable on gog.com
AT-AT, Shack. They're AT-ATs.
+Daniel O'Dette It's weird, he seamlessly switched back and forth calling it an AT-ST and then an AT-AT.
+Daniel O'Dette i know it is bugging me that he keeps saying at-st
I saw sw the force awakens yesterday
+Daniel O'Dette It only takes him about 20 minutes to correct himself.
+Daniel O'Dette yep thats an at at shack how could you miss that!
Woot! Star Wars is coming out tonight! Hope everyone is having a great day. I will be reading comments starting tomorrow. If I see any spoilers posted today on this video.. even jokes will be banned. -.- You have been warned.
Have a great day! :D
+TheXPGamers Saw it yesterday, it was great!
+Mason House i saw it too, the movie came out early in some countries IT'S F*CKING AWSOME
its great!
+TheXPGamers im amased how portugal gets to see the movie earlier than the states
+TheXPGamers You recently tried the Ascendancy mod but it was an older version. There is an alpha going on right now for the next version that adds in two complete factions and finishes the ones that are in already. If you ask the mod author I'm sure he would let you showcase it.
The cutscene is from "Star wars Rebellion" A 4x Star wars game that came out in the 90s the predecessor of empire at war.
+A. Ahmou i loved that game, so much :D
+A. Ahmou Yeah, that remains pretty much my favorite Starwars game period.
they're even making a tabletop card game version loosely based on it. Coming out sometime in 2016.
+A. Ahmou

A. Ahmou yep, great game to play, if you like to micromanage everything (EVERYTHING).
Extended Universe for the win!!!
+Jimmy Brandell Screw Disney, EU forever. Also that building is the Imperial Palace. TheXPGamer...honestly the new canon is crap.
+RedArmyShogun In old canon the Emperor lived. Good that it started over.
Adolf Hitler Actually nein mein fuhrer, he died, his spirit then claimed a clone, came back to mess up the New Republic, then was killed twice more and finally defeated. Lucas himself loved the Dark Forces Trilogy, and The Thrawn Trilogy beats the films hands down.
So no, bad it started over with what they've given us. But to each his own.
RedArmyShogun The could of added things that fit, but most of it was a mess.
Adolf Hitler I won't disagree with that, large parts of the EU were just shit. Those two, Rogue Squadron, were all good, the New Jedi Order was hit and miss. Regardless have to wait and see what Disney does, but I fear they'll just milk it like they do Marvel.
You should keep doing this in the future
+Christopher Masterson I'm thinking campaign Lets Play.
+TheXPGamers As the Empire, hopefully? :D
+TheXPGamers plz and if you do the empire is the way to go
+TheXPGamers please do, by the way, they have an English release
+TheXPGamers YES YES and again YES :D
I loved your Clone Wars Let's play it was sooo much fun seeing you "dismantle" and "disassemble" those droids ^^
Jar jar binks is the new bad guy
*insert darth vader NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO here *
so stupid bro..........
Snoke isn't jar jar.. people like you suck at life so hard
+Jonathan Lewis Rude kid. Its just a joke and theory.
+xXx_Sniperkill3r_xXX
true I didn't read the smart ass comment below about Vader's No!!! lol... now that I'm laughing I feel hella stupid, my bad!... but seriously, people are falling for that crap.. can't blame me for not having any patience whatsoever for dipshittery....... btw, Snoke is Darth Plageuis who was "killed" by his apprentice 'Palpatine'.... MOST POSSIBLY! not completely sure but the clues add up, we'll be waiting til episode 8 to find out so I didn't spoil nothing!
+Jonathan Lewis kk
Man I want a new Empire at War, or a remastered version.
+LEGOSHADOWSPARTAN Yeah me too, I had hoped that with the hype around the new movie they would notice this game again and do something with it. They brought back Battlefront for this reason so why not EaW?
+Zeus54321 Probably because its a game you can't strip for the bare minimum and sell it without it looking shit.
Cough cough EA Battlefield cough.
+LEGOSHADOWSPARTAN so true
+LEGOSHADOWSPARTAN They should at least add more anime voice actors in the new EaW. I'm dying to hear Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff, Karen Strassman and Kirk Thornton on it.
Blue Suns are from Mass Effect.
No, Black Sun pirates are in Star Wars
Lucas Coleman
I said Blue Suns....
+Samuraiedge2 For some reason I read black sun at first too lol
+Samuraiedge2 I prefer Blue Milk
game may be old but it's timeless
Jan Dodonna is the guy from A New Hope that plans the destruction on the death star and explains the plan to the pilots, he is also known for designing the A-Wing.
+Armadrag123 Wasn't he also the admiral of Katana fleet?
+Armadrag123 uh, thing about A-Wings in canon: They are using a_Wings in Rebellion, which is waay before Yavin. Does anyone know when Dodonna designed them? I kinda fear they chanched something up there as well...
And you need to mention that Dodonna survived a long time in Lusankya.
***** right, I remember Tycho saying in one of the X-Wing novels that they came in super slowly and with a very "individual" cockpit-design during Yavin and shortly after. :D
If you read lost stars and liked it you'll be blown away with the thrawn trilogy! It's definitely one of the best star wars book series out there!
Kinda sad how all these amazing Star Wars games shack plays are mods and not full games. They have so much potential as official Star Wars games.
Now Admiral Thrawn will be in Star Wars Rebels
Watching star wars force awakens tomorrow. And this mod looks like the BEST EAW SWFOC Total conversion mod EVEEEEEEEEEEER! Like holy crap i just LOVE the look of this mod and im going to download it now. Grats to the creator.
I would definitely love a let's play series of this mod.
+TheXPGamers Shack! Here in Australia, we saw it midnight release just as it turned 17th. Not going to post spoilers, but I will say that JJ Abrams did NOT let us down. Great movie.
You should absolutely do a lets play of this as the empire! Already off on a good start too
Our towns drive in movie theater is reopening this Saturday just for Star Wars. Insanely excited
Shack, start a series of this! Since we don't have RaW, we need this!!!
I recognized the cut scene! It's from the Rebelion takeover of Coruscant in Star Wars Rebellion.... love that game.
the first cut scene is the end of the Rebel campaign in the 90's game Star Wars: Supremacy as it was called here in the UK. I used to love that game :)
You are right, the intro cut scene is from another game, Star Wars Rebellion, which is also a strategy galactic conquest game.
The cut scene at the start was taken from supremacy (known as rebellion in America), truly one of the greatest Star Wars games of all time!
New series! New series! New series!
I would totally support a campaign of this as your next major project.
Good ol Grand Admiral Thrawn, pretty much the only books I read.
Same was thinking about getting another one to read
i think a campaign in the extended universe (all the fleet admirals have gone their own way, rebels are taking ground, criminal factions pop up everywhere) and being able to choose whichever faction you want and having to deal with the dozens of other factions, including other empire fleets especially if you choose one of em, at once would be cool. the video setting just assumes all the fleets stick together.
Thrawn orginally commands the "schimäre"(sorry if the name is wrong i know only the german name)not the Admonitor.
Yea it's spelled Chimaera in english
Ok thanks
I wish we had a Let's Play of this... T_T
So much potential....
You should build up planetary defenses when you do ground campaigns. Before you end a battle, build turrets of various types across the map. They should still be there if the enemy attacks the planet later, and will provide a lot of vision and map control.
The opening cutscene was from the game Star Wars: Rebellion
In fact, most art and names in this mod are from that game.
Someone get Bullet, cuz someone's showing AOTR some love!
Just for the record, Interdictors were introduced in the canon before Rebels; they showed up in the novel Tarkin.
pls turn this into a series
you know what an interesting mod? the inclusion of all factions of star trek and all the sides of the star wars universe. klingons vs the rebels, the federation vs the Republic, the sith empire vs the galactic empire so on so forth. would be a massive mod but would be something well worth investing time into. if i knew how to do such a thing i would
the cutscene was from the big brother of this game, Star Wars Rebellion. Almost the exact same game as EAW but 10 years older =)
I think that first opening cutscene was used in Star Wars Galactic battlegrounds, an older and actually pretty cool Star Wars RTS for its time.
Would love to see more this and on the Empire side :D
Oh... I thought it was the start of a lets play, I was really enjoying it lol... I should pay more attention
That cutscene was from an late 90's game similar to Empire at War, I think it might have been called Rebellion at War, but not a 100% sure, it has been a long time
Would it be nice if there is a swtor mod with the eternal empire,Sith empire,and the old republic?
You mean this?
www.moddb.com/mods/old-republic-at-war
But it's buggy.
That opening cutscene is from a game called Star Wars Rebellion. It's the vid for a Rebel victory.
it is great so far I hope they look at more in the future
May the force be with you
Cant wait to play when my EAW FOC arrives
He kept on saying "AT-ST" when he is talking about AT-AT's
The cutscene at the start is from the predecessor of EAW, Star Wars Rebellion. Pretty good old game, but quite callenging :D
That cut scene is from Star Wars Rebellion. Still a great game.
please make this one a long campain i love this mod
Love these star wars mods !!
the star trek sins mods are good too :)
Intro cutscene is taken from Rebellion when the rebels conquer Coruscant
Please continue this. The will of the Emperor be done!
the intro video and most of the videos of that mod are from STAR WARS REBELLION... the grand daddy of Empire at war... very fun and complex game... you should made a lets play of that game men... really really good game
May The Force Be With You
Just got back from the cinema. It's pretty good.
Please make a series of this Shak
a Thrawn like admiral has been introduced in the new canon, it is very unclear who he actually is he could be thrawn because he's not been actually named or properly described yet but the way others talk about him makes you think it could be him.
Nice job calling the AT-AT an AT-ST :P
Do Thrawn's Revenge mod! Its amazing!
25:54 while I wouldn't call the new movie the best one yet, it's still pretty damn good, a solid start to the new trilogy and most definitively far better than any prequel bullshit.
Nothing beats Empire. Nothing.
Be careful though, Republic class Star destroyers were really good the last time I played this mod.
God damn, this is why I LOVE mods. *Glares at EA*
That Opening Cut-scene I believe is from the Galactic Battlegrounds RTS
Is there a way to still do multiplayer games on EaW?
+Alex Farrel There is. The gamespy servers are long gone, but you can still use the LAN multiplayer to play with others online, by using programs by the likes of tunngle or evovle.
I watched your entire republic at war gameplay a year late but was craving for an empire variant, i could be wrong but I don't think you did one since I couldn't find it, but if this is a series, I'd love it
the rebel fleet takeing coruscant is actually the rebels victory cinamatic form star wars supremacy/rebellion as it is known in some countries. its from 1995 on winows 98. great game ot play...even if it is rather old.
Please do a series on this!
the empire has weakened and the new republic is in struggling to establish themselves. it is time for the New Sith Empire to rise from the shadows and reclaim the Galaxy!
My favorite characters where the storm troopers, clone troopers, and all the droids
14:20 This part is amazing
make a lets play continuing off of this video on the imperial side, would watch that
D00d the new movie is amazing i watched it yesterday, it made me cry. gosh
Great video man
Shack the big four legged walker isn't an ATST (All Terrain Scout Transport) its a ATAT (All Terrain Armored Transport)
You should do a series on this like a campaign following the empire after order 66
Who is going to see STAR WARS:THE FORCE AWAKENS TONIGHT, I am!!!
Same I'll be with you may the force be with you
+Wesley Averett seeing it on the 19th
I have to waaaaaaaaaiiit! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
+Wesley Averett I saw it 2 days ago in Australia, we also get 2 months of holidays with Christmas over here
AceGamer40K North America always gets movies a couple of days early, BUT the movie was GREAT how did you like it??!
I think Shack completely missed the Imperial Guard troopers on the Coruscant battle.
I am disappoint.
Maybe new full Lp? Looks cool and with the new movie, it'd be great to see more..
Seize control of the intersections once you retake the insides of them
looking forward to more good jpb
wow I'm really early ok here goes. STARWARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this mod is good you should do a series
The small star destroyer is a Eidolon strike class cruiser
You can bring tie fighters and bombers for ground battles. I think its further up the tech tree. Then again I haven't played in a while.
Can you start a Star Wars space game series again really loved that
please do a series on this please man
I hate you shack D: I wanna see force awakens soooooooooooooooo badly *insert crying noises here*
That space battle laser's lighting look good, may i know what graphics mod do you use?
I AM SEEING IT TONIGHT SON
Shack are you going to test out the RTS game battle fleet? Looks really good!!!
guys what was that ship that blew up the Imperial logo
So I downloaded this mod payed it now I want to play republic at war but I can't it says parsing game error do you know what I should do
SERIES PLZ!!!! but a rebellion campaign or a new republic
they took the cutscene from star wars rebellion
having some problems trying to download the patches for the vanilla game need some help
The cutscenes are from another real time strategy called star wars rebellion (at least in the US)
Where can I get a hold of this MOD and how do I get it installed/works? I've never played anything but the original game so it would have been cool to try some of the MODS out there. Appreciate any help that is given. Merry christmas and a happy new year everybody! :)
Stack You should do a lets play on this game
now that i've watched the force awakens i really hope they update the mod using the stuff from the movie
Petition for Starkiller Base to be added to the game. (This is only a spoiler if you don't know anything about Star Wars VII/ haven't seen any trailers and interviews or read any articles involving the film's characters and setting)
Did you ever do a full campaign as the Empire in this mod? If so, I would love to watch it!☺👍
