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.

Description

I've added a new generic bodyguard for the Rebel Alliance - the "Rebel Marksmen".

I've also added a new unit called the "Rebel Speeder Scouts" which is basically the same unit mounted on Imperial Speeders, and unlike earlier information they will be fully recruitable in the campaign - they do use the same unit_info card as the Rebel Marksmen due to no card being made for them and Dagovax has a unique style which made it difficult for me to make new ones for the unit. I've added a new unit_card for the unit though.

An AT-ST Mech is now also available for the faction in both custom battle and in the campaign, but it's limited to "Forest Planets" in the campaign due to the unit only being available as an extra-unit due to the Rebel Alliance managing to snatch some AT-ST's from the Empire in Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.

Finally we have a new starship - the X-Wing Starfighter Bombers (we're limited to the unit models of the previous release so I had no choice but to use the same model/ship for the bomber - there are no Y-Wings in the mod)- the new unit has the same bomb as the Tie Bombers, and it also has the same animation -so it won't fly around in circles unlike the fighter-variant.

The reason for giving the Rebel Alliance a bomber was one, they had bombers in lore, and two - the bombers can kill giant ships easily with a few hits so it was unfair if only the Empire had the unit - especially since the Galactic Empire has the Death Star I and the bombers are probably the only unit that can kill it.
