      Yea but those A.I are also attacking each other. The goal in early game is essentially to form yourself a nice defensive area, build it up for max economy buildings with one (MAYBE two) places to build ships, and essentially go tall.
      Mid game you essentially keep leveling your tech till you get the best weapons and begin spamming those (DONT LOSE THEM)
      late game will pretty much be a slug fest between you and the two factions that are left.

    I'm sympathetic to the dev's thoughts on air support, it was an anti-strategy mechanic. As an attacker you could essentially game-timer the battle with on-demand bombing runs, so there has to be something to make sure the optimal solution isn't always the most boring one. Republic At War was a big offender here with Yoda + bombers being pretty foolproof.
    Shield bubbles are the base game solution and that just feels bad whichever way it goes. Either you have the exposed generator which feels cheap or you have the mandatory meatgrinder where you're forced to pile your units through the bubble while taking massive damage from the entire enemy army camped in there that you can do nothing about. Just turn your brain off and throw men at the wall of death. There was also AA I guess, but that always felt super unreliable, "sometimes 1 unit or building dies every minute depending on where the RNG gods decide the bombers come from and if the AA targets the right bomber" just feels bad.
    Fall of the Republic kind of gets around this by having aggressive enemy production, but that turns the entire battle into a meatgrinder slog that just gets exhausting after a while. It evokes the feeling of the traditional RTS "throw an infinite tide of units at them" mindset which loses a lot of the charm of Empire at War imo. The game is at its best when you're using a finite number of pieces to outmaneuver and outtrade the enemy's limited number of pieces. It's a good mod, but not for me.
    Here though it seems like the bomber nerf was enough. If more is needed then increase the cooldown based on ground buildings: Turbolasers and Comms Arrays mean that the skies aren't clear so bombing runs take longer to coordinate. Maybe even increase the cooldown if bombers die.
    Orbital Bombardment firstly shouldn't be a thing that Rebels do. I'm fine with it being a win button with the generator being very tough, that's the entire premise of one of the most iconic battles in the series. It should probably either cause casualties or long-lasting economic consequences for the planet it's used on though, that's probably outside the scope of a mod though.
    Ideal world in a hypothetical sequel: I think the Empire should be weighing the cost of bombardment against the risk of local unrest, if Rebels can bait out atrocities from the Empire it should be a win of sorts as they galvanise support in nearby systems. Meanwhile the Rebels should have better anti-air in the form of fighter support and their bombing runs should be weighed against morale and how difficult it is for them to replace bombers/pilots. If fighters were a persistent resource shared between space and ground battles within a fleet then there's a real risk to using bombers. Hell, I'd really like to see armies and navies merged into one, with your combat ships and transport ships being one and the same - lose an ISD and you've also lost all the troopers and armoured vehicles on it. I'm going to stop rambling before I describe my dream Total War: Star Wars.

      I'm all for Rebs having orbital bombardment. The key difference between the Rebs and the Imps being that the Rebs favor *tactical* bombardments, where they concentrate fire on key military structures while leaving civilian infrastructure untouched. Where as the Imps favor *strategic* bombardments, where they basically just wipe civilization from the face of that planet altogether.

    I actually like the rock, paper, scissors aspect of the ground battles. It requires the player to actually think and even pre-plan their attacks, and punishes wrong decisions. As for it being a long war of attrition for the battles, I think is also a pretty interesting idea as long as it doesn't become too repetitive or tedious over time. Winning a ground war for a planet shouldn't be something that is done quickly or casually.
    Also it is probably worth mentioning that these are the basic ground regiments made up of untrained volunteers and very basic tanks, apcs, and such. I imagine the more expensive and well trained regiments will be much more forgiving than what is available at the start of the campaign.

      You are on point with your assessment. That was the idea I had behind making the ground overhaul. It is kinda rock, paper, scissor but still not too restrictive. There is a lot you can do even if you bring the "wrong" regiments.
      And yes, the tier two and three regiments are much stronger. The unique armor simulation makes it very hard for light tanks to punch trough heavy tanks, the shots will just bounce off. There is also a lot of counter tactics you can try with tankhunters that stun vehicles, pioneers deploying mines, etc.

    In an Empire at War 2, I'd wanna see.
    Loadouts for capital ships that include starfighters and ground units. Especially for the Empire. The advantage of something like a Star Destroyer should be that it's basically an all in one forward operations base. The next EaW should include the prefabricated bases and ground units a standard Star Destroyer is supposed to carry.
    Asymmetric factions that highlight the respective tactics and politics of said factions.
    The ability to call for reinforcements from other systems mid battle. If you have a fleet in a neighboring system, I feel like that's where your reinforcements should be hyperspacing in from, it's sorta weird that your fleet is just "hanging" in hyperspace.
    Integrated low orbit and ground combat. Including breaking through battle lines in orbit to land troops, and maintaining orbital superiority. This would also make the idea of reinforcements hyperspacing in from different systems and thus taking different amounts of time to arrive play a role in ground combat. You would need to make the decision of, do you break a hole in the enemy blockade, just big enough to start landing troops quickly, and secure a victory before enemy space reinforcements arrive bit risk your ground forces being attacked from orbit? Or slug it out and wipe out the entire blocked, but risk enemy space reinforcements attacking your fleet in orbit and overwhelming them? Or maybe you've planned ahead, and either made sure their reinforcements aren't close enough to help, or maybe you tied them up with another engagement?
    I don't know if this would even be possible, but it would be amazing if there were maps that had a moon or large asteroid near the planet where if you win a dice role, you could hyperspace your fleet in behind it and go undetected until you emerge, like is seen done in the Clone Wars TV show a few times.

      Asymmetric factions are definitely possible, but would require a lot more than what the EAW AI can provide.
      The ability to call for reinforcements mid-battle is semi-possible. Thrawn's Revenge has (or had) a system where if you're attacking a planet that's not completely surrounded by your territory, there's a chance that a third fleet will hyperspace in during the battle. I imagine a similar system could work for reinforcements.

    • @Perceval777
      @Perceval777 2 года назад +2

      Agreed. In addition, I think it would be kinda cool if the land battles had different maps for different stages on one planet. Maybe not for all planets because that would make the game extremely long, but at least for the bigger and more important ones. For instance, when invading Kashyyyk first fight at the beaches and after you win, fight again in a Wookie settlement or somewhere in the jungles to eradicate all pockets of resistance.
      Also, I'd love the ability to take over enemy ships with Nova Troopers/ Rebel Marines during space battles or raids.

    Oh yeah the Mandalorians are incredibly overtuned. Fighting against the Mandalorian faction is genuinely the most unfun, infuriating, and uninteractive experience in this entire mod. They're super fast, so by the time you see them they'll already be upon you. And when they reach you, they'll saw through infantry and tanks alike. If you want to fight the Mandalorians, I'll give you a tip: Don't. Just hope some other faction takes them out before you have to deal with them and then take Mandalore from said faction. Even on the Galatic Campaign they're kind of weird. I haven't tried the Empire/Rebels yet but I can tell you that the Criminal Underworld does not have access to Capital Ships at tech 1, which is fair enough. But the Mandalorians start with two hero units whom both come with Capital Ships, with the larger one being capable of taking out any orbital station on its own, with no support fleet. Better yet, the "Small campaign meant for new players" starts the Criminal Underworld right next to the Mandalorians. If they feel like it, they can roll over you at any point and completely disrupt your income. When they take out your orbital defences, you might as well sell everything that's on that planet to try and squeeze some money out of it, because their invasions are unstoppable due to them being overwhelmingly superior in ground battles, like I said earlier. Either the development team has a huge, unrestricted hard-on for the Mandalorians, or this somehow slipped past their testing phase.

    I always wanted a system where carriers cost a weekly upkeep to manage while purchased squadrons do not (with costs relative to fighter costs of course; so TIEs are dirt cheap to maintain while rebel fighters are more costly to manage)
    This would provide a good reason to favor squadrons over carriers, but I'm definitely going to give this system a go.
    The economy system seems intriguing as well. One of the things that always bugged me about AOTR is how I can't make a down payment on capital ships to start building them sooner.

    I'm really not sure how I feel about ground.
    I like being able to customize what force I'm bringing more than that, and I don't really like the idea of every unit moving at the same speed with some sprint, I want to be able to move my Imperial Repulsorlift tanks in a faster flank without that kind of ability necessary while the AT-AT slowly just launches effectively bursts of artillery. While I kinda like the idea of regiments and larger scale this feels too reduced personally in terms of building an army and moving it. Similarly, as you said I'm worried when you have so much room taken up by a single regiment, where you can only bring in 2 or 3 sets of units most of the time, if your opponent counters you you basically have to delete a regiment to get the space to bring in a new one to fight through.
    As for dealing with the bombardments, maybe make the shield generator a capturable forward thing instead?

      @Kasderan 2 года назад +4

      The regiments are honestly not as restrictive as you might think. There are over 30 different regiments for each faction, not counting the counless minor faction ones, more than enough room to have many different combinations.
      Having units NOT go at infantry pace is horrible. Try to organize your army if everything moves at a different pace. Also keep in mind ground is designed around the idea that your tanks rely on infantry support. They would get rekt if they'd speed off on their own. It would completely destroy the the total war style formations.
      The bombardment is already changed to be a small area precise artillery strike. The shield only covers the base. Everywhere else on the map, you are free to use both bombing runs and orbital strikes.

      @@Kasderan Alright, that's understandable on the end part and makes sense at the top, however, I still think that units having more movement variance is important. Maybe leave it as an ability but do it like the way s-foils work instead of a timed sprint. You switch from marching pace to independent formation.
      If you just march your tanks straight at the enemy, sure, that's not what I was suggesting though. There's times you might want the tank to move independently and faster. Not in general but maybe you just need your tanks to move out into this side of the formation as fast as possible to basically join a different formation, or you want to use them in a hit-and-run strike, or just sneak it around the side faster than the full formation when you know the enemy is not prepared for armor. There's times to utilize them.

      @@Kasderan You are incorrect, a planetary shield is implemented if you don't start using your bombing runs usually well before you actually get into contact with the enemy. You cannot use your orbital bombardment at all unless you kill the enemy shielding because it takes longer to charge than it does for the planetary shield to go up.

    Paying for every unit ground & space/air and building is a good balance. Paying for ammo orbital bombardments (wmds), rockets/missiles/bullets, would probably force tactical gameplay and leave a reason to acquire more earth.

    • @coreywhite1170

      City Points could be spread across the world and to take the world control of the cities is necessary. Between cities you could find important buildings and industries. Air strikes on cities could remove the income bonus but strikes on forces and key objectives would just be air strikes. Being expensive to build cities from the ground up it’d be wise to capture a world versus steamrolling it

    Been playing this mod the last week or so. A "blink and you miss it" thing is some of the descriptions which are hilarious:
    Kendosii: "A mainstay of Mandalorian fleets 4000 years ago, also the Kendosii cruiser gives no f*cks. It gives no f*cks about shields, it gives no f*cks about turbolasers."
    Mon Mothma: "Leader of the Rebellion, but she talks and whines so much that people will be willing to build things for less just to get her to go away"
    Emperor Palpatine: "Leader of the Galactic Empire and teller of the tale of Darth Plagueis to the kids"
    Ancient Interdictor: A long rambling paragraph about how the SIth aren't sending their best, and to just shoot the other ship with a big gun in the reactor"
    I'm sure there are more but those stood out to me. Excellent mod, but there is a learning curve, the "garrison replacement cost" has wiped out my economy more times than I can count, but it adds some realism.
