Developer Q&A - Imperial image - Stargate - Empire at War: Pegasus Chronicles mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Stargate - Empire at War: Pegasus Chronicles is a total conversion for the fantastic game Star Wars - Empire at War: Forces of corruption. This total conversion will replace every single Star Wars asset of the original game with Stargate assets. This includes units, buildings, icons, sounds, videos and so much more. Pegasus Chronicles offers 3 playable races, the Ta'uri (alliance between Earth and the Asgard), Anubis (a mighty systemlord) and the Wraith. Beside these 3 playable races, you will meet many non-playable ones like the Replicators, the Asurans, the systemlord alliance, the Aschen, the Ori and many more. Each faction will have several space and land units, well known from the series or completely new ones. Contrary to our first full version for the normal Empire at War, the next release will offer finished GC maps, in which you can play through the known Stargate storylines and experience a lot of never seen missions and adventures.
Hey there, I'm glad you asked us so many questions in our Stargate - Empire at War: Pegasus Chronicles developer Q&A session.
I'm the "Imperial" and as a fan of the Stargate franchise I decided to accompany the SGMG in winter 2013. Modeling and texturing are my core responsibilities as I'm supporting this project as an artist.
For example I textured the unit on our advent calendar a while ago...stay tuned for its reveal. ;)
Because I'm kind of a control freak I always tend to improve anything within my range, so additionally I code space units and GC events. Although I'm no real programmer I still enjoy playing around with code so I gained basic experiences in C++, Lua and .bat scripting which I try to extend in the future. Also I'm very interested in movies, gaming and Sci-Fi. That's why I am going to launch a few own mods and I plan to write my own Sci-Fi saga.
Now back to what I can do for you, here some answers to your questions:
(see comment section)
More answers will be send out soon…stay tuned!
Maurowhelan asked:
After the event battle would you still be allowed to have Atlantis as a ship with a full command cap so it has to go into battles alone?
Answer:
Yes, Atlantis will stay a space unit until it gets destroyed but while it will need a lot of pop cap you shouldn't sent it into fight alone as it's not mainly designed as a battleship.

Are you real big fans of stargate as far as read the books and comics...
Answer:
Well, Stargate advanced to be my favorite Sci-Fi universe. I saw the original SG1 series, the movies and all spinoffs. And I will surely enjoy the upcoming new movies by master Emmerich. I would love to read some SG Books if I could get my hands on them, but by now I'm quite busy reading lots of "Perry Rhodan" issues.^^ Because Sci-Fi is actually my favorite genre I enjoy also other popular universes like Andromeda, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars aaand Star Trek.
CoolFool23 asked:
Will there be new "missions" that you guys make up or just from the show?
Answer:
Yes there will be some custom missions. Not all of them will base on the TV shows but many will be influenced by them.
Maurowhelan asked:
#1 Will there be a story line event where the super hive comes to earth and you cat to command Atlantis as your only ship in space combat against it?
Answer:
It's not decided yet if we will mimic this special situation. However the Super Hive and Atlantis are both in the mod so there might be some random encounters. ;)
#2 Not much of a question but more a request, don't try to do too much too fast please. finish the ground skirmish and then take your time working on the galactic conquest, there's no need to rush or try to get things done faster than at your own pace.
Answer:
Thanks this lines! We have a great team working together on this project which has always an eye on the core concept while developing cool new stuff. We will take our time to finish and polish this mod so it will be released as soon as possible.
#3 In the Pegasus galaxy once the Asurans become active will they be more aggressive and take over more than just one world?
Answer:
We are going to work on this issue as it was one of the main flaws of the old 1.3 version for EaW. Hopefully we can make them the aggressive weapon they are supposed to be.
to question #3; you could stick to the story and just say; "well, you didn't send mckay to fumble in their code, did you?"
Vance14 1ho asked:
1: Will the Asgard be 100% by the TV show? or will they support some kind of fighters/bombers?
Answer:
As the Asgard fleet is part of the Tau'ri fleet, there are no Asgard fighters/bombers planned at the moment.
3: What kind of ground units will the Tau'ri get concerning Infantry? (Understandable if you do not wish to share it at this time)
Answer:
Of course there will be the SG-Teams, but also many more...
4: Will there be any "minor heroes" like SG3?
Answer:
Minor heroes are indeed planned for the Tau'ri but it's not 100% certain yet which will make it into the final version.
omg this is so awesome I think I might pass out.....
