WING: Commander - Invasion mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Glad to see that the mod isn't dead.

Here are some suggestions for future additions.

Kilrathi:

Space:
Sha'Kar-Class Transport: transports for ground units

The Ralarrad-Class light destroyer should have a small fighter complement.

Ground:

Infantry:

Kilrathi Warriors: Come in larger squads then Terran Marines, armed with
Dor-Chak laser rifles

Anti-tank Squad: armed with rocket launchers

Imperial Guards: Elite Kilrathi warriors armed with enhanced versions of
Dor-Chak laser rifles

Ground Vehicles:

Vorgath light tank: Effective against infantry.

Kar'shar medium tank: Effective against light vehicles

Torghak heavy tank: Effective against vehicles and structures.

Ground versions of fighters

Heros:

Emperor Joor'rad nar Kiranka, fleet and field commander, reduces construction costs on the planet he's on in Galactic mode. (in space he commands a Hvar'kann-class dreadnought, while on the ground he comes with four squads of Imperial Guards.)

Ratha nar Kiranka, field commander, comes with two squads of Imperial Guards

Fleet and field commanders as minor heros.

Structures:
Barracks: Builds Warriors and Anti-tank Squad.
Light vehicle factory: Builds Vorgath light tanks, required to build Heavy factory
Heavy vehicle factory: Builds Kar'shar and Torghak tanks
Airbase: Builds ground versions of fighters
Imperial Palace: Builds Imperial Guards, field and fleet commanders
Slave Quarters: Increases planet income, decreases construction costs for larger ships and structures, when destroyed in a ground battle it'll spawn one squad of Terran Marines and two to four squads of civilians (like the imperial prisons in the Kashyyk mission for the Rebels in the original game).

Temple of Sivar: Decreases build times for infantry units and fighters on the planet

Terran:
Infantry:

Marines: armed with M-47 laser rifles

Heavy Weapons Team: Marines armed with Neutron Miniguns

Anti-tank Squad: armed with rocket launchers

Ground Vehicles:

Confed Assault Walker:
Large, mech-like all-terrain vehicles that are as well armed and armored as a corvette. They are carried to planet surfaces by heavy-weapon landers.

Confed Heavy tank: duel turrets, effective against vehicles

Heros:

Field and fleet commanders as minor heros.

I love this mod. And like very much its models.

But there are also some things, which I didn`t like.
1. In GC there are still SW heroes of many factions
2. Too low incomes for factions in GC. Can you pls in next time increase income from mines and resourse buildings? AI is working extremely powerful and destroying player in first 30 minutes. Everywhere player needs money, but its no and there is the reason of defeat. Too much hardcore, I also wanted say, unreal hardcore.

Thanks anyway

Happy New Years!

I am currently working on an update. I have decided to overhaul the space mode in preparation to do the GC mode. The overhaul will be quite significant, I'm about 1/2 way done, so I think I will upload this first as Patch 2.8.

The changes will be quite significant, both operational and visual.

Operationally, the AI works better when the ships are matched in their check and balance system: bomber --> capship --> frigate --> corv --> fighters --> bombers. This means that each ship and fighter needed to be cleaned up, making sure everything in the coding fits correctly. This also means each type must have the appropriate shielding/armor/masking of the correct type.

Visually, I've been creating different projectiles for each different cannon type. They vary in shape, color, size, firing delay, etc.. This is taking a long time as there are a lot of projectiles in this game. Also, I'm not sure if I've included it in the 2.7 release, but I did make custom icons for the Nephilim heroes and custom text.

So generally, here's the progress:
Confederation: 100% complete
Kilrathi: 50% complete
Nephilim: 0% complete

---

So after this is finish and uploaded, I'll work on the GC mode. I'm learning as I'm going along, so please be patient.

Thanks and happy new years!

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late reply. I actually lost interest b/c it is very difficult to modify the AI behavior and require a lot of testing. So I actually didn't work on this, fell into other projects I'm working on.

However, I have a better idea for GC mode of this mod and which is what I'm working on now...

"why not land mode?" I don't have that much time to work on it, but I would like to pop out a reasonable playable version in the distant future. I've worked on my own EAW/FOC mod where I modified land units, this is what got me interested in just using the existing game data to form some sort of land teams... it won't have a lot of custom stuff, other than ones I'll make with existing game models etc... but it will leave room in the future for other modders who may want to carry on.

but so far it is all just in my head... it will take some time to implement this.

soo is the tiger claw in this game

Well, I've been mostly preoccupied with my own mod - the EAW / FOC mini mod. It is all new to me, so learning as I go along. I'm pretty much done with my mod, don't seen any forseable thing to change in the future.

I've been dabbling in the GC mode of this mod. The creator, Maxpayne, left a lot of the GC material still in the mod so I just pieced them together. From the article above, there seem to be some issue with the AI. I was able to somewhat fix the AI issue, not completely. It will take some work and time to research more on the AI functions, but I think at least I found the location to the cause of the problem.

Anyhow, I don't want to get people's hopes up, but it looks like it might be possible to finish the GC work started by Maxpayne. It will take some time though.
