...The Future of Imperial Civil War...
As we've said in the past, 2.1 will be the final full version of Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Civil War. That being said, we still intend to support and release some updates for the mod. This will include a few new units, as well as some visual reworks which will hopefully also help to improve performance. At the moment, this is scheduled to include units like the Consen Dropship for the Empire of the Hand, and redone versions of the Bothan Assault Cruiser, new Shipyard skins, and a few other things. Once we have more feedback on Survival mode, we'd also like to update the map for it and release a version of it for the Pentastar Alignment, as well as include a version of the Imperial Civil War GC scenario for the New Republic (we originally intended to with the initial 2.1 release, but the New Republic refuses to play nice with the story scripts).

Our main focus going forward is going to be for our Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion mod, Star Wars: Ascendancy, which will be the source of our updated models. I know this will come as a disappointment to some people considering several of those people have sent me messages to insult me for it, but the addition of mountains of new units or factions at this point would hinder basic game functionality, and the mod is already pretty massive. With these updates, while we will be trying to flesh out some areas which may be lacking or add what makes sense, our main goals will be to polish what is there. We feel we've essentially accomplished the core of what we set out to do with ICW and are ready for some change.

2.1 Release Screenshots

I would personally like to thank the amazing team I've been lucky enough to be a part of for the last 8 years for their hard work, as well as the outspoken and dedicated fanbase who has supported us throughout development. I'm looking forward to working with all of you to polish ICW and to launch Ascendancy!

I must say, this mod shows an amazing amount of work and talent when compared to the original game; its breathtaking on what can be done to an old 2006 game. I wish you guys luck on everything you do in the new year!

Well, if you've uninstalled and reinstalled and you're not getting the new content, then you probably have an old installer, or you're expecting to see something that isn't there.

I'm not very computer wise so when I found desura it helped a lot with launching mods so when you say I might have an old installer what do I have to do or do i just clear it all then reinstall the mod from desura?

amazing mod you guys done an brilliant job with this mod. i love the gameplay and visuals. however i would like to add that on admiral difficulty the AI doesnt build any mining or tax collection structures so after uv taken down there starting forces not sure if this is down to the fact that zann consortium makes money by corrupting in teh original game, they build very slowly (not sure if this is down to the fact that zann consortium makes money by corrupting in teh original game) and you end up just attacking planets with loads of annoying defences and the space battles turn it to my stardestroyers versus a fleet of fighters and fighter destroyers.ie tarten patrol cruisers. basicly about a quarter through the game they stop attacking with anything worth fighting. thats my feed back still a brill game one of the best starwars games iv ever played highly reccomend.

The game freezes and stops responding whenever I connect to the multiplayer server using 2.1. It wasn't a problem prior to that so I'm not really sure what's going on. Is the multiplayer not supposed to work in this version?

This mod is awesome. But I have this great distaste for the skirmish mode. Just a little bit into it and the whole map gets revealed. This is really annoying as the ai warp units straight into my base. and it's obvious the ais only goal is to destroy mining facilities. I can deal with their tactic but is there a way to make the map not lose the fog of war?
