Galaxy of the Dead is a mod for Star Wars: Empire at War that adds a non-playable Undead faction to Galactic Conquest and adds some zombie-themed units to Land Skirmish mode. The mod is loosely based on the Star Wars novel Death Troopers.
It's hard to believe it's been almost three years since the last official update. I appreciate all of the positive and constructive feedback I've received, and I'm glad that people were able to enjoy this mod.
For the past month, it's been my intention to release a newer version of the mod tonight. Unfortunately, my schedule has made this impossible. However, I intend to release a patch sometime in November. It will not be a dramatic change from the last version, but will hopefully resolve some of the mod's outstanding issues. This patch will focus on Skirmish mode rather than Galactic Conquest. Skirmish mode offers many opportunities for survival-based gameplay and fast paced zombie suppression that were wasted by the previous versions' focus on Galactic Conquest. I do intend to add more features to Galactic Conquest as well, which may come in a later update.
Thanks again for all of your feedback, and have a happy Halloween.
I've been very busy, but I'm proud to say the first version of the mod is 99.9% completed and is awaiting its final playtest. In the mean time, I've added...
This mod is loosely based on the Star Wars novel, Death Troopers, by Joe Schreiber. It adds the Undead from the book and Star Wars Galaxies into the game...
This was the first release of the mod that I originally uploaded to Filefront's Empire at War files. It is incomplete and only adds the Undead faction...
Is this mod still updating? I hope so, with a little more polishing I think it can be a really fun treat!
Oh, and another thing. You need to remove the coding (if you can) which makes unit's reatreat when they take to much damage. As of this moment, zombies go back and forth because everytime they attack, they reatreat.
Also, instead of having an whole squad of stormtroopers infected whenever they get attacked, can you make every single stormtrooper turn one after one instead? (Something like removing an "bitten" troop and replacing it with an zombie).
Love the mod! It's something I always tought woudl've been cool in EAW/FOC.
Will you eventually make all zombies melee?
I was bored earlier today and thought of this mod. I made a poster (its not the greatest) but its decent. Thought I'd put it here for the hell of it. Cloud-4.steamusercontent.com
That's Gmod isn't it?
Looks great to me, man.

Have you seen this mod's Zombie Trooper? Moddb.com
I think you should add a evo center to the empire It would let them build medivac trooper's = a medic and two blaster cannon troops
I really like this mod a lot. I was wondering is this ever going to maybe updated by someone else or the author. It is such a good idea.
