unitupgradeshowcase video - Awakening of the Rebellion 2.8 mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Links to the steam workshop download and our discord can be found in the description! Awakening of the Rebellion is a total overhaul of Forces of Corruption. Inspired by the old RTS Star Wars: Rebellion, AotR brings many features from this game and other titles such as a more in-depth mission system, tech system, and many new units! Immerse yourself in the Galactic Civil War era as the fledgling Rebellion, the oppressive Empire, or the criminal Black Sun pirates. This mod is not for the feint of heart and will test your RTS skills with a completely overhauled AI and difficulty. Versions newer than 2.6 can be found on the steam workshop only (due to issues with the non-steam versions)
Hello!
Today we are showcasing a new gameplay mechanic that also utilizes the Upgrade System.
You can now as the Rebels upgrade your Dreadnaughts to Alliance Light Frigates and Alliance Assault Frigates and upgrade the Fighter Loadout of your Quasars to A-Wings and B-Wings.
As the Empire you can upgrade Fighter Loadouts of Victorys, Imperial Star Destroyers, Gladiators and of cours the Ton-Falk Cruiser.
For an upgrade you have to move the unit you want to upgrade in orbit of a planet with the correct spacestructure (Frigate Shipyard for the Dreadnaught, Fightershipyard and Fighterextensions for the rest).
I hope you like it :]
Best Regards MaxiM
Cool mechanic! I wonder if the same could be done if you have a higher class barracks that provides upgrades for your lower tier infantry!
The thing about that is, that we cant check if there is infantry on ground as easy as if there is a space ship in orbit. EAW provided a simple xml tag for that <Orbiting_Units> or something that they used for the Arc Hammer, but nothing alike for ground. If we dont find a good workaround it most likely wont happen...
What if the infantry/tank/etc was in orbit?
This is awesome! XD
So much yes
Wow. That is super cool. I cannot wait to take a look at your coding to see how this was implemented.
You will be surprised how simple it actually is ;)
Will the Rebels have this mechanic with Mon Calamari Cruisers upgrading hangar bays or shield points or weapon points?
Nice feature, but isnt it going to flood the buildbar and make some units unbuildable by pushing them out of the bar? I mean if you build a barracks on this planet it has only two slot left for ground units. 4 after upgrading.
We will most likely implement a filter systen, so you can only show buildings, frigates, infantry or whatever. So we wont run into the problem with the GUI
Thats cool, another annoying problem solved :D
That is very cool. Looking forward to seeing this implemented.
Say, that's pretty neat!
Holy Crap! That is awesome! i can't believe Petroglyph didn't do this themselves! Great work guys!
Hello, my steam do not wana install 2.7.1 mod version, so i can't take a look at your code. Can u explain me how u do it - vehicles upgrade?
