Empire at War Awakening of the Rebellion is one my most requested mods of the last we while. It's about time we talk about it then, isn't it?

Thanks for giving us some coverage, the more you get into AotR, the more rewarding it becomes and the harder it is to play other mods

[ROBOHOLIC]

Mad respect to the people behind such massive overhauls.

EaW mods have always been relatively fantastic. They put good effort into them it's just great. Me personally, wish a mod could just remove ground battles and add the clone wars era onto of the traditional civil war. I'd love try advance from the republic to the post endor empire. Although I also wouldn't complain if they found a stable way of just removing the pop cap entirely.

Still watching and I think this was one of the mods I slept on, but funnily enough there /are/ land units with target-able weak points, the rebels get a super-tank that can run over vehicles in the Forces of Corruption expansion

I think two of the main things that make me play AotR often are the scale / detail the SW universe and the opposing faction AI. These make it engrossing and the gameplay strategically complex, which is basically the intricate and long-term SW experience I am looking for. If you let your guard down on the highest difficulty, the Empire, the Black Sun or the Rebellion will definitely kick your butt all over the galaxy. It's a little maddening that the game is so old and with that all the limitations, but the mod group put so much into it that I don't care.

What I like Empire at War is not just the crazy Space battles. But, the cinematic camera. I LOVE IT!

This way I’m able to create my own space battles from how I see them.
I recently did a battle of Coruscant video. :)

There actually are hardpoints in ground units in base EAW. Garm bel Iblis' vehicle can have its turrets blown out

[Alexthedragon]

I've gotten so used to AOTR that the origional game is completly alien to me for a lack of a better word

[johnshrewsbury]

Personally, the Empire at War Expanded series (Fall of the Republic and Imperial Civil War) are my favorites. Also, the team is working on an Old Republic style mod for EAW called Revan's Revenge.

Some old games just got announcement for their sequels (Space Marine 2). I'm so ready for Petroglyph Games to make a sequel for this game.

its the best mod! i have at least 250 houer in it! and i think its majke even better game than all other mods!

keep up the work!

[KaiserMattTygore]

AotR is my favorite EaW mod hands down, remake, FotR, TR and PR are all great as well, but AotR is the one I put the most time in when I play EaW.

[Kairyu_Gen]

There's a lot of good mods for this game, but AotR is my go-to. Nails the balance of depth (things like unit roles and fleet compositions matter if you want to find optimal strategies), variety (all 3 factions have multiple viable strategies you can mix and match so the game stays fresh through multiple campaigns), but also simplicity (it's much lower maintenance and easier to learn than other mods like Thrawn's Revenge).

Hey Zade, have you considered checking out Crossfire Legion? It’s still early access, but I feel it’s worth taking a look at

[AwesomeJedi]

I've been looking forward to this

[armoredlumberjack]

I love these mods.... too bad they crash if you so much as sneeze in their general direction

[Hinokassaudifan]

I feel like a famous person for being featured in a YT video lol.

[roguerifter]

If the mod's wiki is up to date I'm disappointed by the ships added to the game. Specifically my three favorite ships introduced in Rebellion (The CC-7700 Intrdictor Frigate, the CC-9600 Frigate, and the Dauntless class Heavy Cruiser.) are all missing.

[quindarius_bingleton]

Of course Mr. President told you to play it XD

[DameWhoGames]

is there some programs to make this game run better or is there not much you can do. My specs is 11th gen I7 GTX3070 all drives SSD? amazing game and mod
