#ThrawnsRevenge #EaWX #PentastarAlignment - เกม
Can’t wait! I’ve always loved the Pentastar in space, but was not impressed with their ground roster. The new roster for the ground greatly improved the experience and I love the use of tie swarms in space, which plays to the strength of the fighter which is it being cheap and compact. Looking forward to the update
I really like the new ground roster for the Alignment. They look like a "weird Marvel comics EU empire" with the "not quite AT-STs" and the "TIEs-but-on-the-ground" vehicles, as well as the two deployable self-propelled heavy weapons. The Siege Tower looks like one of those typical Imperial super weapons, kinda like a tiny World Devastator.
With all the changes it kinda feels like they are a brand new faction that happens to have an Imperial aesthetic, they also give me some CSA vibes with the Gabos, which is cool, because I've always kinda looked at the PA as the cousin to the CSA (since both are corporatocracies).
Yes, I am a Twitch survivor, I survive Twitch's UI
Oh ho, I see the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium on that factions list. Can't wait to see that announcement.
Yeah that would be nice, but I think this is only activated for testing
@@a1403s They do have them in the game in an extremely limited capacity, some ships and just the dinosaurs, they certainly are still in a testing phase, but I think they could be represented in-game.
The rebels: Yay, tyranny is gone.
The Ssi-ruuk: Our treaty with the Empire is void, time to entech these stinking humans.
They are planned for the game eventually
@@die1mayer Ssi-ruuk be like: "FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!"
I'm excited for the Praetor Carrier Refit and the Mandator III Dreadnought for Pentastar
The first time I saw thrawns revenge was a pentastar let’s play. That was back in version 1. Wow, has the mod changed.
I was wondering, are there any plans for ground unit corporation buildings to get a garrison, like KDY lending out an AT-AT, or Aratech a Battle Platform?
Playing as PA now. Nemesis gunship and seige towers with commandos for the win. Build a few repair nodes and station forces around those to completely lock an area down.
I'm surprised you kept the 20 week wait period for the Reaper. I know the original reason for that was so players wouldn't start with two SSDs as Penta, but now that you made Sysco buildable on his own and with Zsinj literally next door with his own SSD, it seems a little odd not to get Kaine sooner.
Part of it is a balancing, part of it is lore. From Balancing wise, the PA is a more defense focused in the lore, so without the most powerful unit right at the start, you have to play your cards more carefully and get the full support of your sector's before you can attack.
From a lore standpoint, Kaine spent quite a while in negotiations and nation building on top of his defensive stance. In fact, he spent so much time on that that while he built a stable Imperial successor state, he took so long making sure it was stable and looking for an opportunity to strike that by two years in he had lost Jerec and Sysco to desertion/Palpatine and Grant had defected to the rebels and retired. After that aside from skirmishes with Zsinj and arriving to late for Bilbringi he wasn't active till Shadow Hand, which was good for both him and the NR as he conserved his forces and the NR didn't want another front after 11 years of war
@@josephbeyerlein1381 Kaine was in the deep core working for Palpatine by shadow hand wasn't he? Didn't the new republic kill him during Palpatine's return?
@@legostarwarsfan1662 not quite. He allied with Palpatine during Operation Shadow Hand, but he drove south from Orinda, not out of the deep core. He won 13 battles(I think), before Grant lured him into a NR trap without Reaper with him. He wasn't in the deep core at all.
Sorry. I just knew he was somehow involved with palpatine's return.
@@josephbeyerlein1381 I guess that's a fair point. It would help keep Zsinj more distinct with how he starts off with his SSD and sprawling territory but can very quickly lose it all.
I'm not the biggest penta fan, but I'm excited for the new stuff. Keep up the extremely consistent uploads. Corey, great work!
Yeah! I love the consistent updates and new units that are introduced to Thrawn's Revenge! This will definitely make factions more unique!
I love the awkward pause before he realizes he's recording
I see Walter White turned to becoming an Dark Jedi to pay for those bacta treatments
So excited!!
Yeah the AT-AR has a red transparisteel front face and the gun is gimballed internally instead of on a ball turret, also shorter legs. If you were GONNA use the AT-AR it would probably need to be the version with the AT-ST style side guns from that one comic.
this answers all my issues with my last pentstar playthrough
Heyy its finally here!
hyped for 3.2
Will Sulon be added to the map as a tiny pentastar outpost attached to Sullust? Seriously I have NO idea how Jerec kept his evil wizard tower there.
@SonofEyeaboveall Effoff It's not a Sith Planet it's literally the moon of Sullust, a planet that fell to the Rebels before Endor and he somehow kept for like a year inot the New Republic
@SonofEyeaboveall Effoff It's still a massive imperial governor's palace still in imperial(Well, Pentastar) hands.
@SonofEyeaboveall Effoff It's like thirty stories tall looking over Barons Hed all red and black. And the NR just kinda left it there.
Yes! Penta is here!
You cant tell me that the GB Hover tank isn't a SC1 Siege tank! (and I love it)
First, I want to say how awesome this is! Super glad this playthrough started! PA is the first faction I played when I found your mod. I want to say it was 2.1 or 2.2 at the time. I had no idea how to play and got destroyed even on Captain. lol.
I also want to say I like the new units and the roster reworks! It's gonna make the different warlords a lot more interesting!
I do have a question though. Don't Jerec and his apprentice have voice lines you could use from the games they originally came from? Why not use those? At least until you have someone make new ones.
It's just a weird thing with me. It throws me off when a unit has no voice line. I'd actually prefer they had wrong lines, than none at all. But perhaps you have some reason for it? Just wondering.
Anyway, thanks to Corey and to all the people working wonders to make this! :D
I remember when Jerec still had voice lines back in 2.1! Would -love- like for those to be back as well, mostly out of nostalgia.
*"One day, **_everything,_** will be mine!!!"*
@@philippobitz2592 Wait, did he have them before? Why did they remove them?
@@heavyarms55 They had them up until 2.2, either the full release or one of the demos. As to why, I have no idea.
@@philippobitz2592 I mean, they were complete meme tier
YEEEEEE! 3.2 HYPE!!!!!!!
23:58
CRANK UP THE VOLUME BOYS, WE'RE GOING IN!
drink a bottle of wine and watch corey loses, i like the work u guys are doing keep it up!
Just wondering, are you going to have a historical event where the Dark Forces heroes like Jerec all get removed when Kyle Katarn comes around, or is there some flexibilty where Kyle could actually lose?
Also, one suggestion I'd have for the siege turrets would be to have some sort of particle swirling under them to make them look more interesting and to show how powerful the repulsorlifts must be to move something so massive.
New self destruct features look so much better than where they were even just two years ago. So much more realistic now
Maybe, you finish the campaign that Eck started . . .
Does the PA have shuttles for taking other ships? How do we do the special mission for the dreadnaught fleet?
Nice.
Cant't wait to see Eriadu Authority roster!
Eriadu:
Army Trooper, Army Special Missions, Army Commando, 64-Y Sled, AT-MP, Imperial 1-L, Imperial 1-M, Imperial 1-H, AT-AA, AT-AT, PX4, Flashblind, Lancet, Imperial Artillery (GB)
All rosters were already previewed, even Imperial Remnant (Empire) roster already revealed, but on discord channel
@@nemesis1st oh, thanks! Jump to discord!)
THE ATDP 😍😍😍😍
PA doesn’t have Imps or Vics?
Also what starfighters/bombers does PA have? I can’t tell if they have interceptors
No more LAAT? :( But it was so amazing...
EXCITE!
an issue i found in 3.1. if i lets say play as pentastar. and i just load the ground forces up along my borders. never place a space unit/structure there. the ai will never take it. at most. they will drop a small portion of their ground forces at planet. then retreat... literally nonstop. even if they have a heavy advantage in numbers. most defensive land battles i may have a full planet of stormtroopers. basic defensive structures. win every time. the retreat is sounded before i can even engage the attackers. leaving my borders safe and not a concern. this does let me focus elsewhere. but removes the challenge. setting at max difficulty, multiple play throughs.
I heard you were adding the AT-MP from Force Unleashed II.
Will there also be the AT-MP Mark III and the AT-ST Mark III from Star Wars: Commander (mobile game)?
Nope, Star Wars commander is Disney-canon, this is a legends based mod
all disney era sw vehicles for the empire rould pop out in imperial reiign corey's teams other mod in progress
Corey, I have asked for this for a while, but for everyone who streams (or wants to start) streaming this on YT, I would like to ask if you would add in a music replacement tool, or menu (whichever is easier), to use non- copyright songs as a replacer. That way we could separate out specific tracks for combat and for the main map, etc. I own all the KOTOR soundtracks, but I am unsure how to put them in the mod, and, if I did, would they just play randomly?
Will, there be A Trade building that can be built on Major trade words.
I really like the approach of making the economic system a little more diffucult to build up.
Is it possible to get an ingame overview of the ground income of all your controlled planets?
You can already filter all your planets by base income. Click on the question mark on galactic map.
Yes the best faction
20:55 that's why I never build TIE crawlers.
Reading the legacy of the force series right now theres no mod set in the era but thats fine
Don’t one of the new Age of Legends mods cover it ? steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198068562256/myworkshopfiles/?appid=32470
@@legionix2877 No they cover a massive period of time all the way from a bit after thrawn to the end of the vong war but legacy happens 10 years after the vong war (please no spoilers im 2 books in) but before the lost tribe of the sith show up.
So what does this mean on a change for the empire of the hand? You didn't touch on them in your factions video.
Nothing, Empire of the Hand - not imperial warlord faction, so no changes for them, at least for now, until their own roster reworks
Who's ending up with the Gunboat and Blastboat? And I remember Missile Boats are in, are they staying in? Lorewise they were basically destroyed as too useful for Rebel Doctrine after Zaarin was out of the way IIRC.
Even if somehow the Maldrood loses the Missileboat, I don't think the devs will remove it for era 3 empire
@@jawwer12 I can see it being one of the weapons Palpatine's clone brings back yeah.
@@DIEGhostfish era 3 is Thrawn
His ton-falks, and his version of the Chimera's fighter loadout have missileboats
@@jawwer12 Oh derp I'm still thinking in very old versions of the game. Yeah Thrawn would also have missile boats since he's the one who barged into the Cygnus factory and invented them, but I feel like he wouldn't risk them on too-easily-captured Ton Falks.
Is that an old Imperial prison facility?
Could the Nemesis Gunship PLEASE be one of the few unique units the core imperial faction has as well?
It kind of works with EU/Legends since the unified empire had that one on Cato Neimodia from Force Unleashed 2
No, they have other stuff. Also if two factions had it, that wouldn't exactly make it unique.
@@CoreyLoses
Sorry. I thought I remembered you saying they’d get at least one unique unit from each of the other imperial factions since it’s the general imperial faction
Can you explain what having 2 of a factory does
Speeds up build times
@@CoreyLoses thanks, i always thought it was just for redundancy
in 3.2 will we get any minor factions as playable yet?
Hapes
Hi Corey. Is it possible to do some optimization updates because the CPU power requirements is absurdly high and causes lag in multiple game modes to a point of unplayable. I even put the CPU on high priority and it’s becomes worse when a new update comes out. I'm all for new units and gameplay, but it has become difficult for my desktop to catch up.
We do what we can but there's not much we can do there. EaW takes what it takes, and it's a single-core game. The last update actually had significant performance improvements, but it's entirely dependant on what the AI has to do. Smaller maps will run better and there's some system-dependant factors. What kind of CPU do you have?
@@CoreyLoses AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G 3.10 GHz
So, part of the problem is that while your processor is good for modern games, it's not the best individual cores. Having multiple cores doesn't help EaW at all. It can be difficult for modern processord to assign proper resources on an individual core to the specific programs as well. Aside from setting priority (which, keep in mind you need to do every time you launch the game, not just once) you can try things like messing with the refresh rate you have the game set at, and disabling hardware mouse in the game options.
@@CoreyLoses Oh ok. I understand now. I literally put all of my settings on the lowest possible and disabling hardware mouse so I'm sort of running on nothing right now lol.
Man, that kotor soundtrack is so peaceful and awesome. The nostalgia
no new space units for pa yet tho
Is it just me or do the AT-DPs look like the xenomorph
In 3.2, will we be able to build the XF Star Destroyer?
The EX-F itself won't be buildable, however Zsinj will have a generic version of the Sorannan
@@skye1840 It will be weaker than the EX-F, too. Probably not bad.
@@nicocarrero5953 I thought the EX-F was gonna be buildable
@@laverniustucker8198 Sorannan-class, yes, but EX-F - single ship
@@nemesis1st So it will be buildable?
Considering the fact that the stormtroppers are gonna be a reward now for the non-main Empire factions, are they staying basically as another skin on the pile, or will they get something special?
Also, with the whole legitimacy system, can the mainstream Empire lose them, and get basically "dethroned"?
Depends, it seems like for non infantry-focused factions they could be a godsend, but for infantry-focused factions (aka Zsinj) they don’t seem that special.
We probably won't make the Empire lose access to them, no. What do you mean by "something special"? The stats for all infantry are already different for each one, none of them are just skins, and Stormtroopers are already an upgrade as multi-role infantry compared to things like Army Troopers. There's not really any reason to buff them. Then we'd need to buff every other faction's infantry that's supposed to be better in relation to them. For some factions like Zsinj this is less helpful since they already have the Raptors, for the PA it's a lot more important. Not every Legitimacy reward will be as useful for every faction, but that's the point of not just having cookie cutter factions.
@@CoreyLoses Fair enough.
I guess the reason the Stormtroopers feel so mediocre, is because 2/3rds of the factions use them now.
@@CoreyLoses where can one see the difference in stats and abilities for infantry?
RIP PentaStar Bellator :(
I hope you gave them the Gladiator, for Me And My Son memes with the giga-gladiator praetor carrier
It would also create aesthetical consistency
