The Greatest Star Wars RTS Ever Made

The greatest game that's actually a mod.

Thanks for covering the mod, glad you enjoy it!

The saddest moment in Star Wars wasn’t Padme’s death or Vader’s redemption. It was the Battle Droid who was killed celebrating his retirement party in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Fun fact: In canon, a single B1 costs approximately 1500 credits. That's like a 1/4th of the cost of a Clone Trooper's *armor*. B1 Droids are also specifically designed to break easily so reassembly is easy as pie, saving boatloads of credits in the long term. Speaking of long term, b1 droids (and Droids as a whole) are logistically genius.

Not needing food, water, sleep, or medical aid, B1s are also easy to transport enmasse due to how they fold up. Due to not needing food or sleep, they needed no time for these things, and recharging was typically quick. Their guns are dirt cheap and lack pesky safety features, too, and they were very simple. B1s may lack imagination and intelligence, but they were unquestioning and borderline fearless, going on missions in massive hordes. Even Jedi cant stand up to 100 opponents firing all at once. And remember, B1s were numerous beyond imagining and were seldom fielded alone-- Often having B2s as their heavy infantry backup and often being given some basic armor.

Anti-Kleaper at the start of the video: Nute Gunray is the worst.

Anti-Kleaper by the end of the video: Nute Gunray is the best.

The second best part of EaW is the random bi-yearly update that breaks every mod and fixes some random critical issue because Petroglyph is insane.

the video got recommended to me 20 seconds after being uploaded, thanks youtube.

0:03 imagine going to a mission briefing and your general says ‘somehow hitler returned’

[Equalitro]

I have been saying for years this needs a remaster

[thatponybro]

Kleiper will always find a way to use Skaven tactics, no matter what game he is playing

[Tom_Cruise_Missile]

The CIS if they weren't literally a puppet designed to fail by constantly being held back lmfao

[morte]

Hold on, this isn't Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars' planetary assault

[Wolfheart-]

I‘m 100% convinced the B1s just shot at stuff until it was too hot inside for the crew to survive

[goodgammer]

Fun fact for those who dont know the fight inn the backround on thw main menu is an actual skirmish being played you can click around and sometimes it will pull you into the actual match thats going on

[Madking]

"some of you may die but thats a sacrifice I'm willing to make"-Kleaper to all of his droids before every battle

YOOOO as someone who has been playing fall of the republic and watching Corey for years I didn’t expect you to ever play empire at war.

Also as someone who has too many hours in the game and this mod specifically. NEVER DEPLOY YOUR GROUND HEROES IN SPACE (unless they have a designated star fighter but even then it’s probably best to be safe). If they don’t have a designated dog fighter they spawn in the low health, slow, practically defenseless carrier ships that are destroyed in a second or two by most ships in the game. On higher difficulties especially it will just result in the AI’s fighter swarms killing off valuable heroes.

Lastly, you can upgrade some ships like lucrehulks by making them into battle carriers or battleships. The same applies to some heroes like grevious who can be upgraded into a malevolence assuming he is in the recusant battlecruiser or providence. (Seeing the auxiliary lucrehulk used in battle for such a long time gave me a stroke so I felt the need to mention this lol. Noted there likely wasn’t the required tier 4 shipyard required to upgrade grevious’ ship nor the aux lucrehulks. )

Second and final lastly lol, if you are interested in getting the game its typically on sale for like 2 bucks on steam and for the administrators, like Nute Gunray, do not stack in terms of cost reductions. So if you have a building that gives -30% cost and build time, Nute will not make those effected units a further 30% cheaper. As a result, a decent amount of the time it is best to put administrators on large shipyards that don’t have companies that effect your ship costs (unless the company doesn’t effect the ship you want to build, in that case Nute will give the standard 30% discount). There is also another mod made by Corey Loses called “Thrawns Revenge” which is also set in the legends timeline but between the death of the emperor and the lead up to the yuzanhg vong invasion. The third mod that will be coming out soon (I believe in the next few months, it may already be out bc I haven’t played in half a year) called Revan’s Revenge, which is set during the SWTOR and KTOR period about 3000bby. It’s the youngest of the mods so it isn’t as in depth as Fall of the Republic (shown in the video) or Thrawns Revenge which was the first of the mods. All of these mods are still actively being updated and the community is extremely committed to overhauling the game and supporting mod devs.

I have over a thousand hours on empire at war

I’ve never played the base game once

[PetroglyphGames]

Thank you for making this! We still love this game and the fun it brings people all these years later.

[DarthChimera]

Honestly, between this game (plus it's expansion, Eclipse Dreadnought my beloved) and Battlefront 2, I think I can neatly pinpoint where my love for map painting started.

[jurajsintaj]

Okay, just in case you don't know, Jedi in these mods regenerate health when they are shot by infantry weapons. So, they are nearly impossible to kill with droids alone. However, speeders, with their anti infantry cannons, hard counter them.

[Eggzrgoood]

I loved the battle droids so much, hell I still own a plushie of one.
