We're lucky to have so many channels doing Awakening of the Rebellion on the new update and massive map - very much looking forward to going through this series and catching up on your exploits. So far I am very impressed.
I appreciate the kind words, working to get better with my campaign content with the focus of my channel still being the other videos, thanks hope you enjoy
I'm normally Team Empire. The only time I played GC was in EAW and FOC. With AOTR, I did play the rebels before for GC but got destroyed because I didn't know what to do. I do think your videos will help me understand GC more and how to play properly. Keep up the great work! :D
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and support, in the near future I will have an updated video talking about the best start as the rebels and explain kinda what to do at the beginning of a campaign that would be a good video to watch (it won’t be out for a while I do have an old version of the video called best rebel start that still explains stuff if you would like to watch it search it up!)
Love your videos. Didn't mean to come off sounding like a dick about the pronunciation of "Magnetar" on another video. Like your content, it's fun. Keep it up!
Black Sun is probably my favorite faction to play in AotR. There's just so much variety. For their fighters especially, I recommend reading their tooltips closely! Many of them are highly specialized, but highly effective in that role, like those cloakshapes.
@@snugglecity3500 honestly don’t know hopefully someone else answers I don’t think it’s that bad once they are built and you change techs they don’t go away you just can’t build more
@@snugglecity3500 I tend to like to make themed fleets, so usually put them together with others of their same type. In terms of how easy it is logistically, it wasn't too bad in the previous update. I don't know what it is like now though. The biggest issue was planning direction in early game, but it becomes less of an issue as time goes on. Hardest part at that point was remembering everything each one gave you access to.
20:32 That's wierd, since Black Sun is point defense central. The Am-Shacks get Med LCs, the Corona is just a PD disc, and the Recusant has every AA laser you can get. Even the Munificent and Providence get some Med LCs.
I think its super fun the try to hold onto as many of your pockets as you can on this new map due to how spread out your enemies are too. The empire cant even move ships from kuat to coruscant with out taking an independent world.
Hope that turned out okay. Your life stories definitely enhance the playthrough, even rough times like that, as you said, brings out a person's true character.
whoa.... hold up. explain to me how when you hit fast forward at 21:40 how everything was so smooth? What are your pc specs? settings? and anything special like cpu core priority? Doesnt matter whats on my screen i will go down to 15fps. I have played EAW since it came out and have cycled through probably 6 different computer builds. and while the mods have gotten more and more extreme i still have never gotten the game to run as smoothly as yours is running? I thought i was just limited by the engine and to just suck it up. If having an insanely good cpu can actually overcome the difference in the game engine ill drop 2k right now on a new pc build.
I get this question a lot, honestly I don’t know my specs I have 32 gigs of ram and a new but not that expensive pc, I don’t do anything special in settings. On my laptop the game runs slow on the new map so I see what the commotion is about but I don’t have a fantastic pc it’s not super expensive not even expensive at all relative to the pc
38:15 Not entirely true. Empire 3 random worlds campaign. I conquer Kuat(which was hard, but also one of the coolest space battles), leave my ground army in the orbit and send the fleet somewhere else. A minute later a Corporate Sector "fleet" attacks from Balmora(? Dunno, planet next to Kuat). It was just one ship, but still... they can attack or, at least, move ships between planets - for that ship could just be moving to Kuat, not really attacking my fleet.
190 planets, GAWD DAME that mini map looks like a Culdoscope. Shows how dense the galaxy is. Xiso is grate for Money and Defense stations, but yeah his fleet is kind of MEH, at least he gets the elite troops of Black Sun. Id imagine as the Black Sun story gets fleshed out we might have to unlock more and more Tech Branches via the story. Like we will probably start with Xiso and eventually make contact with IG88 Typber Zyann and Jugga.
When it comes to unit compositions, than I usually go for combined Arms Forces. 1 Stormtrooper Battalion, 1 Army Trooper Support, maybe 1 recon Squad or Shocktrooper, 2 Sabre Tank Teams and 1 2-M Team. Split them into two groups so that even if one Group dies I won't loose the whole unit. Been fairly effective most of the times. I generally ignore any Walker Unit, since they are just slow. If they'd be able to move sideways or backwards than I would use the more often, but Hover Tanks are just superior.
Ya that’s fair, Sabre tanks and 2ms are fantastic, take a look at commander Tashkin and other minor heroes from a moffs palace if you haven’t, the bonuses are fantastic as well
Honestly I’m not sure, I’ve had multiple comments on this, my pc is nice but not that nice, on my laptop it can’t run it well at all either, the discord may be able to help but I don’t myself do anything special to the settings or anything maybe I’m just lucky (32 gig ram and a decent processor or whatever idk I just recently bought this prebuilt pc)
Hey @@captonx2 Could you post link to your computer specs? I bought New gaming computer for a substantial price and my big GC lags after 20 -30 weeks. It's playable and I don't have any crashes but still. .
@@Stricken145 hey, being honest I actually don’t know what my specs are, I just bought this prebuilt pc and it worked well for me, all I know is it has 32 gigs of ram, not sure why the game is lagging for most people and not me the best thing I can say it to ask in the aotr discord for help, and also I know the developers are hoping to fix the lag in future updates if they can
@@captonx2 one interesting thing I noticed in my Play through of the Black Sun, The Rebellion kept the hyper space lane from orto plutonia all the way to hoth Extremely lightly defended, with only Tier one space stations. I was able to completely take hoth and that Corner of that map by week 25, definitely something to keep you're eyes on
@@compelledsine8591 gotcha I’ll take a look, tbh I haven’t even spent time just staring at the map the way I kinda need to, I plan on heading north and north east tbh
Strange question not related to your video sorry, but im not sure where to ask. The map editor is apparently 64bit now but mine is asking me for the binkw32.dll but there is a bink2w64.dll now. how do you fix this. Sorry for asking an unrelated question. Love your videos and guides.
No your fine, you may have to ask the discord this isn’t my specialty, your steam should have updated automatically with the new update from pretro, check and see if that’s updated, if not you could always try the old uninstall reinstall trick
Hey capton new subscriber here and I just wanna say I love your first video I just watched on the new campaign nobody it seems like does black sun but also when are your upload days?
It’s hard to say, I’ll record Tuesday and Thursday this week but then I have Christmas break so I’ll record a bunch, hopefully I’ll post atleast once a week but most likely twice, I really appreciate your support, I’ve got all sorts of aotr videos on my channel and ya this black sun story is going to be great
Heya I was wondering if you know how to fix an issue, see I lost the felucia mission as rebels by stupidly loosing a squadron of x wings at the beginning, now I’ve retaken the planet but nothings been triggered, any advice??
It should allow you to retry after a certain number of weeks, even if you take the planet like you took the planet, if it’s been a decent amount of weeks and it’s still not working something may be wrong because you took the planet but it should reset after a whioen
Just looking at the Wiki Xizor seems to have good units, HOWEVER, space wise he's someone whose units require units from the other trees to have more balance
@captonx2 makes sense Also I like how you did the same thing twice with Zhar but it's understandable given probably were annoyed with the Crash and all Actually valid question Cause im not sure if this is the case or not Is the ATTE exclusive to the Xizor Tech tree or is it all?
Unfortunately I will be waiting till the next major update before I play as the rebellion, the next major update is the NR IR rework so I’ll play as the rebellion and new republic. I’ll probably play some skirmishes as them soon tho
@@captonx2 Oh is the next major update for the rebels?, cause if so I'll start a black sun campaign rather than a rebel one until the next major update
@@wyvern0223 yes the next major update that will likely not come out till next December will be the the rebel update (there will be a couple small updates as usually spread out till December)
@@wyvern0223 all of the above, I’m guessing 10 to 20 total new units similar to the black sun update where there was like 22 or so new units, it will be spread across both the new republic and imperial remnant however so more like 10 each most likely, and yes I believe the starhawk is planned to be introduced as well

Gotcha, I enjoying using the submod to play them so that I had access to all crime lords
How easy is it to use ships from multiple vigos or whatever they are called?

They can hold off fighters on there own but if too many come they struggle without help
This new start is wild and I like the trade lane buff for freighters.
I think its super fun the try to hold onto as many of your pockets as you can on this new map due to how spread out your enemies are too. The empire cant even move ships from kuat to coruscant with out taking an independent world.
Looks great. Excited to see you play Black Sun!
I trust you so I’m asking you lol, how was the sound in the video? How did I sound and was the game sound a bit too loud?
@@captonx2 Haha, thanks. The sound is perfect as far as I can tell!
A Yellow Kia, nice choice. looks like a low to mid speed Collison, still OUCH.
Ya that was Kelly’s car it’s totaled so she’s getting a new one
