This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
I'm really quite fond of this mod- particular highlights are your inclusion of some of my favorite Imperial ships, as well as the fact that you seem to admire the work of Ansel Hsiao as much as I do. I love all the completely new ships as well as the revamped models of the existing ones (more to come?), I love the accurately-sized fighters, I love the description of the Nimbus (though question your judgement of such a beautiful fighter).
I especially enjoy that you've resized and renamed some of the Consortium's more fanciful units (the Aggressor and the Vengeance, namely) to be more militarily believable. And I /love/ that new Keldabe, I love, love, LOVE it.
This is a mod whose changes are so high quality that it makes playing other mods kind of difficult, as there'll always be a bit of a drop between them.
My only major quarrel is the fact that ground combat remains untouched. I can't personally blame you for that- making ground combat playable is something very few mods have been able to come close to, let alone achieve.
My one real call-out is your removal of the Defiler's Sabotage ability- it means the campaign is broken at an early point, and the mod makes the campaign /really/ fun otherwise. That's my one gripe aside from ground combat (which, as clarified, isn't really a gripe in the end).
9/10, space combat is beautiful, ground combat revamp would be nice but not necessary. Definitely a lot of potential on display here. Overall worth the download.
The whole mod is great but it crashes sometimes
Pros:
-It's Really fun to play and requires much more strategy than the base game
-Has awesome graphics, beautiful turbolasers
-Awesome new ships and super star destroyers
-Ships have been correctly resized
cons:
-Crashes everytime i try to load a save
one of the best empire at war mods...but missing on steam workshop
Stunning mod with incredible attention to details. The space battles are so much fun with this mod.
If the issue with the crashes from loading saves of big cg maps late game will be solved, i'd give it a solid 10.
(ground battle doesnt matter much to me)
This incredible work by a dedicated team shows just what can be accomplish with and old engine given some inspiration and effort.
One of the best EAW mods in my opinion. Love playing the long and huge Galactic conquests. I really cannot wait for 4.0!
They did incredible stuff with the spacebattle part of the game! haven't seen anything comparable in other mods- but you should check it out for yourself!
groundbattles are currently awaiting the remake-process, and are therefore disabled - would otherwise rate 10/10
This gives me the empire at war i always wanted. Will instantly be a 10 when they finish ground other than that just perfect.
great
