Republic at War 1.2 (Rush to Victory expansion) is now available for download!!!

This latest release includes hundreds of additions and improvements over the existing game that make it an absolute blast to play (together or with friends over Steam).

Some highlights include:

  • Improved AI (with refined difficulties) -- easy is ACTUALLY easy!
  • 15 new units
  • 5 new buildings
  • 2 new planets
  • 2 new GC maps
  • 3 hours of new music
  • Fleshed out FotJ GC campaign with story elements
  • Greatly improved unit balance.
  • Support for both Spanish and Russian text translations

You can view the full changelog here.

Along with this, we have released our new trailer which showcases some of the best Republic at War has to offer (full res):

To get the new version you have several options. If you already have Republic at War 1.1.5 or 1.1.5.1 installed or you are playing via Steam, we recommend downloading just the launcher from here. This will be the fastest option to get right on the battlefield. Alternatively, you can choose between the auto-installer or the drag and drop (minimal) installation. Whatever you choose we ask that you to read the installation guide that comes along with your download.

If you are subscribed to Republic at War on Steam Workshop, your download should start automatically. Please go ahead and download the game launcher anyway to ensure that your game is multiplayer-compatible.

Of course, we'd like to thank a number of people for helping contribute to this latest release...

Firstly, we'd like to extend a big thanks to the Thrawns Revenge and Steiner mod teams for collaborating with us on technical issues and knowledge sharing -- we hope that we can do more of this in the future.

We'd also like to thank SmallPox for helping contribute to the lua initiative.

Finally, we'd like to extend a big thank you to everyone in the community -- singling out a few community members who have gone above and beyond helping answer community questions and provide constructive feedback that made it into the final release: LordBlackout, The_Great_Rice_God, CIS_Droid91, leyamasa, and Sephiroth0812.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this release possible!

As many of you well know, this is not the final release of Republic at War with development of the next release having already begun. We hope to do a better job of providing timelier updates and incorporating community feedback as we continue onward to 1.3 and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates and may the force always be with you!

Republic at War Modding Team

Are Acclamators tougher than a wet tissue in this version? The changelog makes it sound like if anything they received a nerf.

According to the changelog(and my own understanding of it), it affects the Acclamator Transports(that transport heavy vehichles in space battles) and gives them turbolasers instead of lasers. Doesn't seem to affect regular Acclamators.

Regular Acclamators now have a faster rate of fire and additional firepower against fighters.

When I try to play galactic conquest or skirmish as Republic, the AI doesn't do anything, are there any suggestions or is this a bug?

I've fixed the problem with running steam file consistency checker and forcing the update. Everything works as intended.

Steam file consistency checker? Don't you mean verifying the integrity of the game files?

Yeah, that one. Got 1 corrupted file that prevented the update.

Hey guys. You'd recommend to download the launcher even if I have workshop subscription. Where should I drag it, to the game directory, or to the workshop mods directory?

Having finally gotten it working (nothing wrong with the mod, I've just been getting a lot of corrupted files in moddb downloads lately), I'm wondering why the Providence model has been rolled back. I quite liked its model in the previous version, and didn't notice anything wrong with it. Can anyone shed some light on the reasoning behind this change?

I am a disc user and whenever I start up a new skirmish or GC the AI does nothing. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this issue?

The launcher is taking ages just 'Checking for new and corrupted files'

Dude this mod is everything I could have asked for, It's amazing, just one request... Could someone post a link to a video containing all of the galaxy overview music? I know it is from all of the different movies, but when I am in the galaxy map where I can manage different systems, I feel total bliss listening to the music. Great picks for the score by the way, the soundtrack to this mod couldn't get any better!

Question, I'm a bit confused... Does multiplayer Galactic Conquest work now in 1.2? Thanks.

Great mod, hard mode feels like hard mode. If the author could put in the
Octuptarra Magna Droid that would be awesome.
