This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
The Titan commission is complete! This time special thanks goes out to Adamancy for commissioning this one, it turned out far better than expected, and pushing me to set up the Discord server, the Executor Project, and the Patreon page.
The Titan is a merging of the Imperial and Allegiance class star destroyers onto a larger, stealth-capable hull. As such, the main batteries of the Imperial and Allegiance classes are also on the Titan. You can see the hardpoint layout in the picture as well. Let me know in the comment section what you think about the ship!
The Titan is now in the add-on section as a free release, both the version with and without the stealth mesh.
Join our Discord server! It's fun to hang out and talk about star wars related things, or just random stuff. Everyone is welcome! Discord.gg
If you want to support the mod itself, this is the Patreon page: Patreon.com
So awsome
Yeah indeed!
Looks ******* awesome, also love the even more dagger style it has, it says DO NOT **** WITH ME, unless you want to see this ship decloaking right into your bridge...
P.D. That comment...oh god, that was hilarious indeed.
Thanks! The original Titan concept did have a sharper hull, so me and Adamancy decided to stick to that. I actually hated the model when I first started, I restarted the superstructure many times because I didn't like it every time. Eventually I settled on this and damn, I'm very happy with how it eventually turned out, especially since I hated it so much at the start.
And yeah, that dude didn't even get a message back lol. I was like u w0t m8? Thought it'd be a nice addition to put that comment here to put it in perspective what he's talking about. Feelsgoodman
I'd like to know these drunken retarded monkeys that Burntstrobe *cough* **** *cough* knows. They must make models so ridiculously awesome that film studios use them thanks to how realistic they are.
Great work once more Jeroenimo, I'll be downloading this ASAP.
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words :)
Nomada doesnt even texture, nawrocki does all the painty legwork, which he learned from you (burnt) back in the day
Dont forget your humble drunk monkey beginnings!
It's kind of a self-roast if you think about it, that's part of why it's so funny.
I mean this looks like an awesome ship and I am diffo downloading.
I always considered you to be one of the moddb EAW elite (not that I am putting anyone down) and I am kinda surprised about what Burnstrobe said. I know each modder has there own type of style of texturing and love all of them. ( Apart from normada) but can't fellow modders respect each peoples work?
Hi, thank you very much! I definitely appreciate hearing that!
It's not so much about respecting eachothers work, as it is that strobe bullied some of the most talented people out of modding, that almost included me (not that I was any good at the time, but other people were), and now no one but me is left to remember it. And I will not let it go, or stop calling him out for what he's done. And he hates me for it. So naturally we don't get along very well. Of course, he will tell you something else entirely.
I normally keep it private, but sometimes he PMs me funny messages like that and I feel like that gives me a free pass to make fun of it.
I recall one time in particular, someone who did sound effects, Afro ninja yoda, who strobe was talking about to someone (might've been me, I don't recall) where he said that he was really bad and a pain to work with, having to constantly talk to him. Then Afro, him, me and some others got into a different chat, that didn't have those chat logs and he was complimenting him on what a great job he did on something, and that he really was an important part of the team. That's the point where I said "This is ********." to myself and told Afro in private chat what strobe really thought of him, with screenshots of the other conversation. Needless to say, he left after that. Turns out, that sort of manipulation happened a lot with Strobe. ******* shame too, since he was actually great at what he did. He occcasionally still does some sound files for Remake, and I make sure to thank him every time that he's still willing to drop in and out of modding to help me. That's about the best example I can give. When I brought it up to strobe a few years ago to confront him with it, he said afro "Left for university." So that's where Strobes headspace is at.

Omg you little stupid child.
Let me clear the record for everyone. And it is pitiful that constantly keep talking about me, like didn't nomada used to do the same?
Afroninjayoda was kicked out of the vong mod because he wanted classical music from Beethoven added. I said no.
I called you a drunken monkey because you actually got drunk and like a fool started a PM fight with me for like 2-3 hours, all where you said I was the worst texture artist in the community, the vong mod would fail, you were the greatest modder of all time, and how you were secretly trying to get all of my team to quit. YOU , Jeroen buis, said all that. You were immature, arrogant, insulting to my entire team, and were just a complete Royal *******. It's even more amusing that the name of the PM where you had this war against me is called "Please Stop" - which was from a previous chat where I asked you to stop talking to me and stop causing issues about our work.
You admitted the next day you were drunk and apologized to me also. I have this chat save and I will gladly post the entirety of it for anyone to read it if that is what it takes to get you to finally leave our project alone.
For the last time, our team (45 members strong of the best talent in the community) kicked you out of our group. You cause drama, you beg for attention and the fact that you are now begging people for money in order to make models is another pathetic reason of why we just don't like you, and we don't want to work with you. For the ABSOLUTE LAST TIME, leave us alone, don't comment about me or my team, and focus on your own work. We know your true character and we just don't like you. You will NEVER be invited back to the Vong Project.
Now stop this.
Since you have the chat saved, why not post it for all to see? If what you say is true then prove it. After all you have nothing to hide apparently.
Also, does that mean that highly respected modder Farseer is pathetically begging for money too since he's looking into doing the same for his mod?
(buried)
Give me a few hours and I will code it to our website. I find all of this very childish. We at the vong project never mention any other mod. We do not comment on other modders, and we never compare our work to others. We thank everyone for voting us #1 upcoming mod of the year, and we continue to focus on our own work. I will not post this private chat to mod db, because our mod db site remains professional and focused on our own work. I will post the chat and will even highlight specific statements that jeroenimo said to our private website.
Hopefully then this drama can stop and jeroenimo can stop terrorizing the vong project.
A link will be posted here when ready.
salt is real...
Ah yeah kicking someone just because he would like some classic music into it, is, well i dont even can describe that **** in english.
I wonder who is the child calling someone else by his real name and the first sentence is an insult (not that most would care here since it is on the patreon site anyway).
So if he is causing drama and you dont want to work with him, why the **** are you still using the models he made?
Edit: as someone else said what´s wrong about setting up a patreon? Hell even i got several times asked about a paypal donation for my Stellaris mods. With what you said, it would mean all Modders who set up things like that are ***** and useless idiots? am i right?
He made them with us. Warb and I taught jeroenimo how to model. I taught jeroenimo detailing and asked (begged actually) for warb to coach jeroen years ago. Jeroenimo is a great model maker, I have never denied this. The vong project is on a deadline to finish soon. We use the best material given to us by any modder, quality is quality personal opinions of creators aside. The vong mod's focus is to finish a complete mod and give it freely to the public. No costs, no special permissions for use needed. We make our mod and give all released assets free for use. We only ask to credit our work and nothing more. To expedite the release for everyone, we don't want to waste time redoing models. But, many models from jeroenimo have been cut from our mod, I think we only use about 5 in total out of our 300 some models.
(buried)
And afroninjayoda was kicked because he refused to be our sound editor unless he could dictate solely what music was in our mod. This goes against our team structure, for the vong team votes on decisions, and classical music was not wanted. We wanted space and Star Wars music. Our music is now complete and we have other sound editors.
5 is still more than 0...but for u....5 must be the new 0
His models are great, he jointly made them with us, and our star destroyers have more detail added. Why would we not use them?? They are very good models, and I will go on record to say jeroenimo did a good job making them.
It's not about personal fame for us, it is about giving the community the best product we possibly can.
u sound like trump
@[nyan257](members:nyan257:3500823)
Please explain and justify your comment and it's relevance to the discussion?
just wanted u to calm down
Does that 5 include Jeroenimo models that you've altered? And then neglected to credit as partly his work until someone called you out on it?
Jeroenimo specifically stated he would not make the executor UNTIL he was funded money first.
This is completely different than asking for a casual donations. He advertised the executor, and specifically stated he would not make unless he received money.
Not only is this copyright infringement of Directly profiting off of the name/concepts of Star Wars, but to hold modding essentially for ransom is just plain horrible.
He also posted several good, reasonable explanations as to why such a large task (which people have constantly asked him to do despite past refusals) would require an outlay of capital.
Ransom?!?! It's not like they couldn't go elsewhere if they wanted an executor.
And it's only the same as people doing commission work, which is not an exclusively modding thing either.
As far as i know, Bills doesn´t pay themselves, and the Executor is going to cost about 120h of work, also Jeroenimo stated that he will not start the Executor until it was fully founded to avoid problems later.
The executor was Crowfunded by a lot of people, myself included, and believe me, i didn´t feel being blackmailed for it...
Also,if i´m not mistaken the full 19km Executor will be another FREE release for everyone so...
It's COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!
You cannot solicit money DIRECTLY from Star Wars, it's their intellectual property!
By saying he will only make it unless he is given money first is ILLEGAL.
There are laws people, Star Wars is not free for others to advertise and make money off of!!
Ok, so the thousands of projects being crowfunded all around the world based on the Star Wars ip, are all illegal?
As far as i know, if the final product is made FREE, there is no problem with it being crowfunded...
"It's COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!"
It is not. Legally an act can only be considered copyright infringement if a copied product is sold without legal consent of the copyrights owner. A donation is never considered an act of purchase, it is a donation, thus it doesn't have a commercial purpose. You can not get back your donation, if you do not have a legal agreement of a product being delivered to you (in which case it seases to be a donation,and becomes a purchase) with the person/company you donated to. There is no commercial product in this story from a legal standpoint.
You can't make a Michael Jackson moonwalk street performer pay copyright fee for him performing and getting donations for it.
you were supposed to not be the child not join the child!!!
I am human and after dealing with this for months I can only take so much.
(buried)
and here starts the war between someone with the best modding group this game ever saw, and a drunk monkey. well. i'll side with YVaW.
but please dont get caught in this ****, there are better things to do than arguing with these folks
(buried)
edit: since he invited all donors to the beta, this seems a bit like paid modding now
yeah sure, because getting a little reward for some support is now being a paid mod?... i will add no further comments on this stupidity..., remember that is a CLOSED beta, and when the update hits, it will be avaliable for anyone, same as the Executor
It was the best modding group. Now it's a facade propped up by the work or people who were later driven away. That's why they need to censor their comments.
Holy ******* **** guys and girls.
Calm down!
If what is said is right, Jeroenimo, please refrain from commenting and seeking contact with YVaW modders and Burnstrobe as you can see here, commenting publicly about it does more harm than good for the appearance of the YVaW team, please calm down.
You both make awesome mods and models, let's leave it at that, alright?
****'s getting real!!
Let me get my popcorn...
I go away for 3 hours to play Rise of the Witch King with a friend of mine and the chat explodes. Well, time to read it all I guess.
If I were you I would probably want a vacation in Mordor rather than reading it all :P
Look i don't really want to get involved in this. The 2 of you are really talented at what you do. I will continue to support both projects as this one is wonderful to play and I really look forward to the Vong mod.
I feel slightly guilty as it my comment that set this off. I am not commenting anymore on this but it would be a shame to lose more talented people from this site
I have always been a big fan of the wonderful mods this place has produced and as a amateur modder who once I get a new computer I would like to go deeper in to modding this game and it is these sorts of project that inspire me
I figure, if you hadn't commented that, someone else would have. It would have happened anyway.
You can only delay the inevitable
Really what Caon and Nyan said, this has been bubbling underneath the surface for a while now, it seems.
Modding is very hard... this is why people take it very seriously.
It does not pay the bills, it does not apologize for sleepless nights, it doesn't even care that it might be taking time away from your family and loved ones. Modding only has one forgiving grace: it can make others happy, and that should be enough of a reward for any modder. Mod DB rules strictly state that mods cannot be sold for money and the concept of soliciting services for profit (not just asking for donations, but instead directly asking for money first) is an extreme grey area that borders closely on being illegal. This IS being monitored.
I have not doubt that making a high quality model does take time. This model below for example has taken me 2 days, and we hope to have it textured and rigged by next weekend.
If you want to compete with us jeroenimo, do it through your work. Do not comment about us or talk about us on your site, and we will do likewise.
Thank you.
Executor Class SSD by team YVaW:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/yuuzhan-vong-at-war/images/coming-soon-to-a-galaxy-near-you#imagebox
hate to say this but if the work were to compete i would say a finished mod is much better any day :)
Meanwhile, Jeroenimo has not commented once on this entire mess, and you've been responding the entire time. To what point, I wonder? I think your logic is flawed somewhere.
Also, no offense, but it seems a bit off to be advertising your own Executor-class here.
It doesn´t pay bills, but if you make good models why not have a small living for it?, certainly it will not allow you to retire, but hell, we are talking about a CROWFUNDING here, no one is being ripped, no one feels like is being cheated for it, so far Jeroenimo did MAKE what he promised, and this is enough for me.
P.D. The free advertising was a REALLY low movement...sorry to say it, you essentially throw out the window any kind of credibility on that matter...
(buried)
he advertised he would not make the SSD unless he was paid first.
That is the problem. Crowdfunding is not the issue, but asking for money before even beginning is copyright infringement.
And i will gladly never comment on this site ever again as long as JEROENIMO NEVER MENTIONS ME OR THE VONG TEAM EVER AGAIN.
we have asked him several times to stop talking about us.
And what is the point to continuing this? I don't think there's anything left to achieve by now.
90% of the Crowfundings starts BEFORE any kind of production, you cant start something you know that you CANT deliver if it fails, instead you start when you have the bare minimun, and work from there, it´s so logic that even a Vulcan will be proud of it...
Testing, moddb ****** the messages again
Actually he said he wouldn't start the work until paid. A perfectly reasonable request to prevent people from screwing him over mid project
Jeroenimo's executor will be released for free. Jeroenimo's mod will be released for free. He has not held anyone to ransom since as you have just pointed out, good quality executor models are out there. Therefore no one was forced or coerced or blackmailed into paying into Jeroenimo's executor fund. Instead a group of kind, generous people decided to help support Jeroenimo out so that he can fulfil something they've been asking for a long time.
Wow so much BS in one Comment, first you want Jer not to talk on your mod site, that he did not do for the past 6 month. Then you start posting your own **** on his mod site!
Wow what a hypocrite, on top of that you saying the Model is made by you when it´s a ripped model from DICE is, also saying you took 2 days for it, what took 2 days for you? slapping some 4 sided polys on an ripped off model? just wow, i can´t even comprehend such thinking but hey i am not a hypocrite.
