The easiest way to mod Empire At War is to own the Steam version, which has online multiplayer and integrated Workshop support.

Here's a few mods that are strong in the Force. Petroglyph's hybrid RTS is still being actively supported, and the Steam version revived online multiplayer in 2017. Just assemble your fleets, kick open a hole in the enemy defences, and send down troops for a bit of terrestrial tactics. Playing a bit like a 4X strategy game in fast-forward, there's no base building and little micromanagement to be done in Empire At War. I bounced off Star Wars: Empire At War when it was new, but the siren call of modding beckoned me back. Hello everyone, and this week we are doing something " different." Instead of continuing my self-flagellation with the Final Fantasy franchise, I decided to take a much-needed break.Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior. This week I elected to tap into one of my " true" obsessions in life, the Star Wars Expanded Universe. The impetus for this blog is simple, a few weeks ago Disney announced they were launching a new batch of Star Wars comics set in the "Legends" timeline. For those "not in the know," the term " Legends" applies to all formerly canonical storylines before Disney purchased LucasArts.
Some of the most popular story arcs include the Thrawn trilogy, Operation Shadow Hand, the Yuuzhan Vong Wars, Jacen Solo's fall to the Dark Side, and Natasi Daala's rise to power.
For fans of the original Expanded Universe, it was an exciting announcement, and one met with universal praise. However, and I lament we have to address this matter before continuing, I do not despise the current batch of Disney movies. While I have a few misgivings about The Last Jedi, I would be hard-pressed to declare it objectively "bad." It's a fun romp for a new generation, and the minds in charge of the franchise should be allowed to experiment with the series' formula. Simply put, I don't refer to the Disney films in mocking tones. To me, doing so comes across as biting the hand that feeds you. Admiral Thrawn is back thanks to Star Wars: Rebels.In fact, several of our favorite Legends characters have returned to the Star Wars canon! Speaking of which, let's run down a few examples: Even more, Disney has thrown quite a few bones to dedicates fans like us.

EMPIRE AT WAR CLONE WARS MOD REVIEW SERIESĪs mentioned earlier, Marvel Comics is launching a new series set in the Legends timeline.Disney tapped Timothy Zahn to write a new trilogy of Thrawn novels, and he's mostly in charge of the current Star Wars Expanded Universe.Other Star Wars Legends characters like Gilad Pellaeon have joined him as well. The Black Sun played a significant role in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.That includes Jaxxon, the motherfucking rabbit! Several Marvel characters are back in the canon thanks to a variety of Easter Eggs. Several Star Wars video game characters are canonical.If you like the Old Republic era of Star Wars, then it may comfort you to know that Darth Bane is canon, and he's a cool looking samurai.Ancient pre-KOTOR conflicts like the Hundred-Year Darkness and Great Hyperspace Wars are canonical.Valance the Hunter is canonical, and he's still a badass!.Additionally, the Zann Consortium has been referenced in official Star Wars novelizations. Finally, and this is a " BIG ONE," the Yuuzhan Vong are back in the canon! This time around they are called the "Grysk," but Timothy Zahn describes them as having "sloping foreheads and skull-like faces.".The most prominent example is Dash Rendar who appeared in the novelization of the Halo Solo standalone film. Hopefully, all this prattle shows that it is an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan. But, what in the world does any of this rambling have to do about Star Wars: Empire at War? Well, when I heard they were rebooting Marvel's Star Wars comic line, I decided to give Empire at War another shot. Unfortunately, with the game and its expansion pushing fourteen years, I found its engine and pathfinding to be "wanting." I wouldn't say the game is "horrible," but instead an artifact from a by-gone era. Likewise, the ground battles in Empire at War are, and always have been, a major sore point. They are sluggish, hard to manage, and no fun to play. Luckily for all involved, the modding community for Empire at War is as active today as when the game launched! This looks a lot cooler that it is to play. Today I will be looking at FOUR total conversion mods in hopes of being able to share my Star Wars fandom, and personal feelings about each modification. This blog is in NO WAY a complete representation of what is out there for Empire at War. EMPIRE AT WAR CLONE WARS MOD REVIEW SERIES.
