Star Wars Total war is the most Creative use in a mod I have known for the rome total war engine. it departs from the mainstay of RTW vannila's melee battles in a mesh of units that dont move to ranged units that have to constantly jostle and reposition to effciently attack the enemy. each faction has a unique play style instead of greeks have phalenxes and romans have legions. to win a battle you need to think from when you start about how you deploy your units to where and when to try to rout the enemy from. you want to feel like your playing a differnt game with the rome total war engine download this mod, want a experience just vaguely dissimilar to vanillia RTW go elsewhere. simple as that.

News from the Star wars total war mod, progress made to v0.05b.

Posted by on

There has been a significant battle mode UI overhual you can see the effect from the unit images that have been posted. this is to create a more star wars 'feel' to the mod. I am also working on getting an installer program working for the mod for the next version. there are also some minor unit tweaks that I am working on atm but all the major units have been completed. also the Hutts have had their units migrated from pontus to dacia, this is so that they can use the chant and screeching abilitys.

Faction Rundown:
Cis - you need to use cirtain units to attack and some to delay others, focusing strength is key
Republic - keep a strong position and use your units with good tieming
Empire - Superior troops but with poor morale, be careful of traps and tricks
Rebelion - not the strongest force but cirtinly the most varied
Hutts - Masters of Morale, dominate the battle feild with rag tag ruthless soldiers

theres a considerable amount more in the mod than there was before, from flamethrowers to rockets. the units are very varied and they all I belive suit each faction to give each a unique play style.

I am working on getting the Historical battles working and also completing some other minor things but vo.o5b is nearly finished. I should be able to release it in one to two weeks.
