The 1.2 version of Covenant at War (AKA the June patch).
This release is SPACE SKIRMISH ONLY, you'll get all kinds of weird bugs if you try and play galactic conquest. It doesn't require any previous CaW releases for it to work.

Installation Instructions
1. If you have installed any previous versions of CaW, uninstall them (delete them from Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\mods).
2. Once downloaded, open the .zip archive CaW.zip (easily done with winrar: Rarlab.com )
3. In CaW.zip you will find a folder called CaW, extract this folder to your Forces of corruption mod folder, which should be something like this: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods
4. There are two ways to run the mod:
i) Download the EaW/FoC Mod Launcher, which you can find here: Empireatwar.gamefront.com , run it, select CaW and hit start. You can also use this launcher: Moddb.com
ii) Download this file: Mega.co.nz put it in your Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption folder and run it (alternate mirror: Gamefront.com ).

Just played a few games, it's near impossible to win with the UNSC, also, when you buy the upgrades for Covenant ships, it makes their population count go away, meaning you can have an unlimited amount of Covie Destroyers at your disposal. I have to set the AI at heroic just to have even the slightest challenge against UNSC forces when I'm the Covenant.
What difficulty are you playing on? Because heroic is indeed pretty darn hard.
And we know about the population thing, just doesn't bother me that much.
i suggest to have a AI teammate to help you because i fight all of my battles on the hardest difficulty and i win (sometimes with the loss of my base but i put it on Destroy Enemy)
yea I almost won...against 2 easy covenants with a hard ai but I was testing out the units so I didn't finish them with my smacs but its true when you say its almost impossible I wish they would add ground units :(

I played against an Easy Covenant AI and nearly lost.
Change your tactics, don't call it impossible after a few games :P.
Balancing: Covenant has Firepower and Strength and UNSC has tactics and numbers. :)
yeah but with the upgrade bug they have no pop count and also after upgrading the covenants launch their squadrons again. its almost imposiible to win as unsc
Almost but not quite, Brave on my Brothers for they cannot kill us all
With MS Framwork won't work for me. I don't know why...
(Infact in the ReadMe of PetroLauncher there is a link , which is broken ...)
Try putting this: Mega.co.nz in your Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption folder and running it instead.
Worked!
Thank you very much!
Well, my version crashed as soon as I requested a Charon class frigate, not quite sure why....
Also when I tried to call it in from the reinforcements menu, no outline of a ship appeared, then the game crashed when I placed "nothing" on the map
That's very bizarre, you might have a corrupt download, try re-downloading it.
Yeah, am doing it now, I also had the texture missing for the Paris class so I am thinking a corrupted download
Yeah it was a corrupted download, sorry for the trouble, Looks great BTW!
That mega website thing never downloads why was this even separated from the mod itself? I don't know what Import is on that website I figure download would be simple but when I click Download accept whatever I have to, It instantly says 100% and just sits there without any kind of load up, just nothing any idea what to do?
The file offered on 'that mega website' should be part of the download. If not you will find the exact same file in the first release of this mod. I am assuming you already have it and thus the file. If this is not the case and you don't get the mod to work I recommend downloading the first release. If the mod works for you than there is no need to download the offered file.
Well funny thing Is I did have that download but in the install instructions, said uninstall everything from the previous update so I took it out of where is was.. good thing I never cleared my recycle bin. I didn't know not to remove that CAW starter. Thank you for the clear up.
I had plenty of trouble with Mega in Firefox, try using Internet Explorer 10 instead ;)
I've never had any problems with it, but either way, here's an alternate mirror: Gamefront.com
I have a problem with my game does not start he said swefc stopped me from functioning
I have a problem it says an exception has occurred. see_logfile.txtand_except.txtfor details. press CANCEL to exit or RETREY to débug helpe me
Try to re-download. If that does not work, try to re-install the game and re-apply all patches.
but it must be installed or? What is the path to the insalled eChart please
Hi there! First, nice job on the mod, I have been playing past versions and it was great. However, I can't seem to get this version running. At first, the mod couldn't find my file path, so I reinstalled the game. Now, it starts, I see the Covenant facing off against the UNSC picture, then a black screen with "Loading..." (and I can move my mouse, so it's not completely frozen or anything), then I hear about one drumbeat of the intro music before the whole thing just disappears. No error message from the game or windows, it's as though I never started the game.
Any help please?
AHHHHH YEESS. I SHALL DOWNLOAD
When can we expect halo music to be added?
There will not be any Halo music. This mod will eventually feature original music. You can find more info about that in the various blogs (nr. 24 and 18 for example): Halocaw.net
There's also a small tutorial on how to swap music at the end of the anniversary special blog entry.
AI don't do anything in skirmish for me o.o
Make sure both the original Foc and the mod are complete/succesfull installs. If the AI doesn't work than there may be something missing and/or wrong with the install.
I have a problem. I use modlauncher, CaW is in the menu, I launch appears the image of when the game is loading but then go out
Is the Flood in the mod, and are they playable?
There will be.I dont think they will be playable though.
like the black sun pirates in eaw a third party that is against all players / AIs
