Hero Prisoner Showcase video - Awakening of the Rebellion 2.8 mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Links to the steam workshop download and our discord can be found in the description! Awakening of the Rebellion is a total overhaul of Forces of Corruption. Inspired by the old RTS Star Wars: Rebellion, AotR brings many features from this game and other titles such as a more in-depth mission system, tech system, and many new units! Immerse yourself in the Galactic Civil War era as the fledgling Rebellion, the oppressive Empire, or the criminal Black Sun pirates. This mod is not for the feint of heart and will test your RTS skills with a completely overhauled AI and difficulty. Versions newer than 2.6 can be found on the steam workshop only (due to issues with the non-steam versions)
Hey everyone!
Today we are showcasing one of our favourite new mechanics, the Hero Prisoner Mechanic!
With Permadeath now in the Mod we noticed, that some missions that require major heroes can't be finished if the hero dies, so we thought, how can we change that.
Our solution: When a major hero gets killed he will be imprisoned by the enemy! To get him back you have to conquer the random target planet.
This mechanic took some inspiration from Star Wars Rebellion and is a more interesting way to regain heroes than to just wait, atleast in our opinion.
Also if you look closely you will notice that the current Space Tech Level is now show in the buttom right corner as an Objective, so it's easier to know what level you are on.
With that said, stay tuned for further updates, but mostly unit updates since mechanics are now close to being finished.
Best regards MaxiM
That is awesome! Can't wait till 2.7 is released!
Thats cool
Amazing!
"Awakening of the Rebellion" - Making "Empire at War" as complex as "Rebellion/Supremacy"
I like that. :)
I always thought a mechanic just like this would be really cool, but I didn't think it would be possible to implement into this game. This all looks great so far, I can't wait for 2.7.
Well we had to figure out tons of stuff to make it work, but its beautiful seeing the payoff :)
OH! MY ! GOOOOODD!!! Dx <3
when you invade the planet, will a prison building appear? cause it would be weird if leia was held in a factory or barracks
Actually that wouldnt be too complicated, maybe it will be included :) we could also change it so you only have to destroy the prison to get the hero back
That Would me much more realistic, do it if you can. Keep up the good work
That would be really cool, that way you could even do a "raid" to get the prisoner out if it is a very fortified pla et and capturing it is not yet an option.
This is brillant! Now you don't have to wait and you have to take ressources and military power to get them back. Would be cool if the enemy side gets benefits from capturing heroes.
Das ist brillant! Jetzt muss man selbst die Initiative ergreifen, Ressourcen ausgeben, militärische Kräfte zusammenstellen statt nur zu warten oder zu bezahlen. Wäre natürlich cool, wenn die gegnerische Seite noch Vorteile von einer derartigen Inhaftierung hätte...
