You and the team of people around I cant thank you all enough I loved this game back in the day still got the original cd’s and recently found xpgamers playing the mod through him found you and my mind is blown on what you all have and are doing for this game again thank you and the other modders.
Awesome! This helps a lot man, I am a newer player and I have been playing Remake and Republic at War. Always wanted to try Thrawn’s Revenge but it seem to complicated, now I should be fine to start and I can’t wait!
The mod isn’t really complicated so don’t worry
@@EmpiresEGG Ya I agree, it’s mainly the government system and stuff like that which I have trouble with.
I downloaded the thrawn revenge mod but when I do galactic battles the menu to play in game mode or free built does not appear, does anyone know what I have to do to play it?
I have loved and played this game since its release and I think this type of tutorial will definitively help new players
I would recommend starting at era 1 for beginners. Also start with the Empire faction. Also use a smaller 80-20 planet map. The Empire does start out in shambles. After all right before the 2nd Death star explodes. Grand Admiral Zaaran destroyed 3 sectors of the industry. Spend about 50 weeks before getting Isard. After that the galaxy is yours for the taking! LOL!!! 👍👍👍
50 weeks?? I got her on week 5.
@@lucasbrown4981doesn't mean you should
This mod should go down in history as a modding community masterpiece. May it love long and well if not truly forever!
A big thanks to the entire team for all their hard work!
EAW(TR) is one of the best Lore friendly games out there, thanks to you and the modders!
Super stoked! I was excited for FotR 1.2, but I was looking more forward to this one. You guys are awesome, keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for this! When I played Thrawn’s revenge with my friend back in high school (many years ago) it was much simpler than it is is now. Nice to get a rundown on all the new stuff
Looking forward to playing this! Thank you for this guide Corey ^_^
I’m a new player. Downloaded the mod a week ago. This was so helpful. Thank you!
Hey Corey. Love the work you are doing.
I have to say my favorite part of the new 3.2 update is the imperial legitimacy bit. Im a big fan of the Imperial Warlords, and it really gives you an underlying mission when you play GC as the empire or the warlords. Especially when going after kuat or coruscant.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to more updates on this, as well as Revans Revenge. Do you know when you think you would be posting another update on RR?
Keep up the fantastic work
Thanks for the guide man, I haven't played in a long time
I'm hyped keep up the great work
thankyou, i remember first playing the game when i was around 10 and recently found the disc to play it again, but then i discovered the mods... definetly got lost in it and these videos have been very helpful
Looking forward to the faction guides!
Great overview. Thank you.
I have a question, in the patch notes it says that the Bellator SSD has a current build limit reduced to 1, does this affect both the Eriadu Authority and the Greater Maldrood? I ask because I had heard in one of your videos (and I could be wrong) that the Maldrood would get to keep their Bellator cap at 2 since they don't have any alterntive SSDs or SSD heros.
Regardless, the new update looks awesome, thank you and the team for all your hard work!
No, all SSDs are single limit.
@@CoreyLoses Ah ok thank you!
Love this. Thanks to you and modders
Needed this, man even medium is rough especially if you don't know what you're doing
So it's been a very long tome.since I played this mod....great job with it just have one thing I wanted to bring up....the defense platforms feel kinda weak right now...not sure if it was meant to be a thing or not
I personally played single planet and i learned alot about the new republic and i found it easier than any other campaigns
Thanks for giving this that Rebellion vibe. That game was the best.
Thanks!
It's like starwars total war 😂 very cool love your mods
Nice :)
How do you get those intricate camera angles for unit shots, I've been trying for ages but can't figure out how to do it.
Is there a version of this that doesn't have the new economic systems in it? It seems like a lot to take in compared to older versions of the mod
Question: How did you guys get the "Credits/Pop/Week" bar moved to the top of the screen? Every time I play TR, it is just below the top of the screen and the "Era/Resource/Planet Info" graphic obscures it, making it borderline impossible to know what my pop cap is, or exactly how many credits I have unless I engage in a ground battle. Also, is there a way to stop the "Era/Resource/Planet Info" bit from obscuring the left-most fleet slot in planet view? that gets really annoying when it becomes hard to tell what number of which types of ship I have unless I take the time to manually move them all to the bottom of the slot, or shift the whole fleet to a different slot.
You're probably playing with a non-standard resolution, run the game in a 16:9 one and you'll be fine. unfortunately there's not much we can do about covering the left slot sometimes.
Same here
Why are the "Known Galaxy" Maps bigger than the "Full Galaxy" Maps? Should it not rather be the other way around?
I downloaded the thrawn revenge mod but when I do galactic battles the menu to play in game mode or free built does not appear, does anyone know what I have to do to play it?
Question concerning fighter ordinance: What's the difference between rockets and bombs, and where do torpedoes on fighter-bombers fit into this? Shields vs. hull, small vs. big, anything like that?
Bomber rockets do more damage, proton bombs are slower might be dodged but do massive damage AND do area of effect so big ships with clustered harspoints are screwed
Proton torpedoes in arcs 130 and x wings are the old bomber projectiles they haven't changed so you need more of them to do the same damage to shields than the bomber loadours but are still very good, they shoot them slower than bombers used to (almost a minute for x wing torpedo vs 30 for y wings) they can help a lot even if its not their role
Also fighters with them usually live longer than bombers so they can stay fighting longer
At 10:46 the Button with "Game Modes & Historical Battles" dos not exist on my Game after I had running the mod. Why?
How can I get in the Fleet builder?
you didint mention the use of senate buildings..
i still have no idea why i need to build any 😅
Are Han and Chewie supposed to randomly disappear when it switches to Era 2 with the New Republic? Because that's what keeps happening....
This is awesome! Question about heroes, they die and don't respawn? I didn't play the mod yet but doesn't that make us afraid to use them? For example in space battle you can easily lose hero characters i enemy focuses on them, and then you lose the bonuses gained from them.
if they die they die much more fun than infinite lives heroes
Position them better in battles.
Damn didn't finish fixing Hunt for Zsinj.
Question: do heroes need to be deployed in battle to get their command tier bonus? Is it enough to have them in reserve but not on the field?
They need to be deployed, also heroes don't buff themselves in case you were wondering
Wow... just... Wow...
9:48 what faction are you playing with the Red Star Destroyers?
Greater Maldrood
So I’m kind of a beginner at this game but experienced in rts and the like does anyone know what exactly happens if you send a fleet in and a single ship goes in so you can deploy the rest of the fleet where you want does anyone know what happens if for instance that ONE ship is killed? Like does the rest of the fleet die? Or does it retreat since it wasn’t in the actual battle?
Any forces not called in will be kept when your fleet falls. For example if you didn't use a probe droid to scout the fleet and it is too much to handle and they have any form of interdictor ships/mines, you can sacrifice the small scout and save your fleet
@@BradTheTryHard gotcha thank you I’ve been a bit shy on poking into areas because of that
@@astral_stormlight Just be sure to put frigates in the pathfinder slot when attacking (a fast one if your faction has access to them) and not capital ships or corvettes.
Corvettes will clear hardly any fog of war, so you won't be able to tell what the enemy has once the battle starts, and you don't necessarily want capital ships in that slot in case the the enemy has an interdictor + a fleet too powerful for your forces to beat so you don't end up losing a capital ship.
The later happens. You lose the battle, the one ship was destroyed and the rest of the fleet will retreat.
@@user-sd7nz3px2y I really like using a pathfinder that has the single unit retreat ability.
For the empire
Can you say what the changes are to boarding shuttles? You mentioned quality of life changes.
He mentioned some of them in yesterdays video.
Yesterdays release video said some really nice stuff. The ship you are capturing is invincible while the boarding shuttles capture ability is active as well as the ship will instantly retreat from the battle after a successful capture.
I noticed in the the past that even if you capture 2 ships in one battle, only one will be given to you once you are back on the galactic map. I wonder if that has changed now, I doubt it though.
@@luigi180 In the last version I made it where I could capture anything above starfighter level and heros with 1 million hitpoints and 100% boarding success. I evil laughed so many times after capturing a whole fleet it was hilarious
@@spartan078ben Bwahahaha what a madlad
So dose Kashyyyk still rebel every week still or is it toned down a bit?
That would only have been the case if you were mismanaging resources or other influence, but without resources causing influence debuffs people who weren't paying attention to those would be less likely to have a revolt.
Is it updated now
has anyone been able to do a multiplayer campaign yet ? me and another friend have been trying but it always says player has been kicked
Multiplayer campaign is not part of the mod
😊👏
Does anyone know why I can't find the Belarus-class medium cruiser in fleet builder?
The Belarus isn't available in .2
@@skye1840 What happened to it? I thought it was in prior updates?
@@skye1840 Also, the Munificent is MIA from the fleet builder.
The Munificent, if everything is still as it is last I heard, is now an influence unit on Mygeeto, never really looked into if influence units were in the fleet builder so don’t know if this answers the question
@@justintaylor2235 muunilinst, not Mygeeto
Are there any income benefits from high influence
No, they moved away from influence determining credit numbers
Doesnt look like it. You just need to stay over 4 and thats about it. Apart from planets that give unique units at high influence ofcourse.
As the others said, not directly, but having a high influence means that you can build some tax agencies on that world to increase your income, while still having the popular support. So basically income can benefit from high influence, but there is an extra step in that you have to construct a building to make that happen.
Thats why I get destroyed so easily, the difficulty setting was at a level higher I’ve been setting it at!!
This mod is really cool and I've played through a few skirmishes and a little bit of Galactic Conquest over the past couple weeks. Back in high school, I was obsessed with EAW, and spent countless hours drawing up ship designs and figuring out how to balance new ships in mods (not that I was able to make any mods, this was all just fantasy). I love what you've done with this mod, but the number of changes is also overwhelming. Is there any way to just use the new units with (mostly) the original mechanics and not worry about crews, food, influence, and all the other additions? Is there ever intended to be a tutorial that lets you learn the new factions units from the ground up? Or maybe there could be a campaign that starts with low-aggression AI to let the player build things up at their leisure?
No, but Easy lets you turtle a bit more since the AI has longer build times than you. Also, Hapes is defenseively focused.
the knight hammer
how rare is it to face the black ssd as the maldrood it wiped my fleet out twice need suggestions :/
Use a scout unit to lure it into facing backwards, then drop your fleet in behind his guns :)
@@rotor7726 Now that they can spin in place that strategy is far worse than it used to be.
@@DIEGhostfish It's been a while since I've last played. Do they turn very fast?
@@rotor7726 Way faster than theybused to at least under player control.
Hit that bish with 100 carracks and strike cruisers
It never had a chance
I've been playing for a while I just showed up here because I don't know what the "lifetime" bit means when you go to build the dreadnoughts
That's the total number you can build per whole galactic conquest playthrough
@@CoreyLoses Oh.
Thanks :) definitely takes away a lot of their overpowered nature which is a good thing.
And thank you so much for all the mods you guys do they are my favorites by far and I could not be more thankful :)
Its unclear how this new legitimacy works, How does it affect the aquisition of new and existing heroes? In Era 3 for instance Thrawn would join the empire for instance, if I as say the Pentastar integrate the empire before Era 3, will I get thrawn? or do those hero's become inaccessible if their faction is integrated.
Only existing heroes join. Integrating the Empire doesn't then mean you go through the Empire's progression.
@@CoreyLoses So you will get their heroes but not their leaders (ex. Thrawn) because he either wouldnt exist or you would need to kill him as a pre-requisite to integration?
Yeah
You can think of it this way: the main Galactic Empire follows a line of succession, each era has a new leader who emerges with their own group of followers to inherit all of the holdings of the Empire, at the time of their arrival. If the Galactic Empire was conquered, then there is nothing for them to inherit, instead all that they will have is the forces, worlds and companions that they brought with them on their ambitious quest.
So what that means, is that if you focus on conquering the Empire early on as an Imperial faction, you'll get all that they have, but eventually you will have to deal with Thrawn showing up to oppose you, then after that Palpatine will emerge from Byss, then eventually Daala from the Maw, etc. There will always be some usurper trying to bring back the Empire in its original form, much like in the old canon of Star Wars.
One thing I would like to see is a tutorial on how things work cause no matter what game mode I start I am unable to build ships cause none are showing in the menu like in this video shows. I am clicking every where, clicking on buttons, units, tabs, nothing, there is nothing I am able to do in this game except sit and watch my income grow every week and that is the game play, oh I have 2 small ships that I can send over to other planets to die. How do things work? how do you build ships? How do you build shipyards? What do each unit do? Why does it have to be so complicated? Could it be I have a corrupt game and need a fresh download and install? When I first started the game everything was in shambles I was difficult to maneuver the menus till I was able to get into resolution and get it to where it fit my screen properly. I feel this game still has a lot of work to be done on it and it should of not been released till it was finished or at least functioning. I guess my expectations of this game when started were missed placed it is beyond disappointing. I am looking back to last time I played this game and it was far more entertaining. Now we have this hot mess.
You have a broken installation. Obviously we didn't release the mod in a state where nobody could build ships. What version of EaW do you have (Steam, GoG, Origin, etc), are you running any submods? Did you start off with the ability to build ships and it went away, or was nothing ever there? Do you see the text in the top left when you click on rbe planets?
@@CoreyLoses Yeah sorry I kinda wrote that late at night when I am half asleep I kinda get a bit snippy when things that should work but don't. I think I need ot stay off the internet and stop testing things when I am in that state. So I do apologize for that. I figured it was a bad install when I woke up. I did the steam one and I did not have anything useful to click on. There is no text at all on the top left. The only thing I could do was build ground buildings and ground units. Again I do apologize for that last comment. It was not warranted.
Do hero’s respawn for AI?
The AI doesn't get any bonus hero respawns. Any heroes who respawn work the same way for the player and the AI (like Warlords downgrading flagships)
ive been trying this mod but it has it's flaws, my favorite game mode is doing space skirmish battles set to destroy enemy cus i like mopping up the enemy units after killing the enemy station
unfortunately with this mod the AI cheats and just continuously spawn in units even after their space station is gone
was doing a game and killed the enemy space station and then the AI just kept spawning in units over and over and over for the next HOUR AND A HALF until i finally gave up
So if the full galaxy has the unknown regions of space, why would it have fewer planets than the known galaxy?
Because the known galaxy map isn't just the full galaxy map with part of it cut off. They were made completely separately and used to even have different named.
Can i install this Mod in Origin?
Unfortunately Steam is the only version of the game which received official updates so that's the only one most mods can support.
@@CoreyLoses Thx! I will buy it.👍
before 1k views still waiting for the phonebook video.
Galactic Economy is the hardest part of this mod
Weirdly I find Ground Up to be the easier gameplay... Shame I can't play as the Consortium in there.
I wish this was available on CD ROM so I can just upload it to my computer that way I’m not the most technologically savvy person so I really don’t know how to upload this to my computer 😞😞😞😞😞😞
It requires steam version of EaW due to recent patches by Petroglyph only on this platform. Won't work on old box version. You could burn mod files into cd no problem, but there is no point, as steam forces internet connection at least for instalation.
Probe droids Cost 500 Credits now?
What? Why are the scouts so expensive?
Vision is incredibly powerful and being able to see exactly what's at a planet is worth more money than a light frigate. They also last longer.
@@CoreyLoses
Thank you for your fast answer ☺️
Yes, i agree-
Vision is very powerfull.
And its great, that they Last longer now.
But its a Probe droid, they are very small, and cheap and all that, thats the Idea, right?
Sending a cheap Droid instead of a Star Destroyer.
@@CoreyLoses
Oh, one more question-
In Basic EAW the KI always knew how big the Players fleets are.
(As far as i know)
Does the KI now have to pay for scouting, too?
@@CoreyLoses I mean, you can see most things with just a pathfinder these days. Though that's just one snapshot and not long surveilance.
