Not without gutting the mod. Just pick up the game on stead for $6 when it's on sale next. Every steam sale has it on sale basically. Not to mention Key sellers.

That's because there's no ground in 3.5. Ground skirmish is just in a pre-rework state while in GC there's no ground at all.

No 3.5 is the last version of the mod that doesnt use features from the newest game patch which the game devs only released on Steam. If you had the files and attempted to play Remake 4.0 on GOG, Disk, or Origin versions of the game you'd crash on startup.

3.5 is the last version of the mod before we started using features that were added to the last game update which modders specifically asked the game devs for and worked with them for. All game updates have been steam exclusive since they started doing new patches a few years back.

If the devs ever update the other versions of the game sure we could release for non-steam users again. We'd love to do so.

EmperorNiko @ Empire at War: Remake 4.0 – The Grand Update

Used to have a "Idiot Steam Comment of the Day!" thing i did in the meme channel. Glad to be able to do that again.

EmperorNiko @ EAW Remake Version 3.5 (Full Build)

Funny enough we have a joke model of an ISD totally covered in solar sails. It's not used right now. But we have it.

There's no real point to upload it when when only Steam users can play it so we dont plan to upload here.

The mod has been out for ages and there's been no silence on anything in relation to this mod.

Sure but it doesnt mean we need to accommodate a very small group of people because they dont want to buy the game. There's steam workshop downloaders out there. If you can find a copy of the game to pirate you can find the downloader that lets pirates use workshop mods

We'd end up with more people with non-steam versions whining about the game crashing the moment they try to launch it. We'd not put it here and deal with the mass whining just for the pirates. We like pirates but not enough to deal with that. We get enough idiot comments without actively trying for more.

Oh you pirated the game ok. You could've said that from the start. Would explain why you had things working.

Fine where did you but the game then? Retail disk, GOG, or Origin?

Did you buy it on steam? If no then it's not the Steam version clearly. And any mod that you're running from ModDb is toned down for non-steam users or is not using the new features from last year because only that version got the January 2021 update. Just like it was the ONLY version to get the smaller updates dating back to 2018.

You cant have the steam version of the game without having steam.
The only other ways to get the game is disk, GOG, or Origin and all of them are unpatched.
Only the steam version has the patches so the mod wont even run without being the most up to date steam version of the game.

4.0 will be only on steam since only steam players will even be able to run it due to the mod taking advantage of new features exclusive to the last game patch which is only on steam.

Yeah but it looks better this way than without. Plus Kharak really blended the structure to work well.

EmperorNiko @ GC planet screens now correctly show 3 regiment slots

Yes they are larger forces. Usually made up of a few themed vehicles that make up the main part of the regiment and then a set of troop transports that bring the infantry.
This forced mixed forces so the AI never gets caught with massing one unit type and not being able to counter anything that one unit cant fight. It also stops the player from cheesing with mass producing one super unit.
Everything has to play with the features and roles of each ground unit instead of vanilla mindless A-Move.
There's more to it than that but that's the jist of it.

EmperorNiko @ 4.0 Propaganda

CIS is not playable. The CIS Holdouts are just a minor faction on the GC map. However the Criminal Underworld makes use of droid infantry and the AAT.

EmperorNiko @ Foray-class Corvette

It's the ancient shipyard worlds because they make Old Republic, Sith, and Mandalorian ships.
The "Sith Roster" part of the description is in reference to the (Unplayable)minor faction who can build them. The Sith Cultists.

Because of how the game works that's the limit before the end of the skybox. There's no clouds to hide it behind that's just one background image in a sphere around the map.

You cant play the minor factions anyway so them being removed from here means nothing.
