Hi all, thank you for your patience. I've now set up a simple discord so I can share some of what I've been doing. There are some videos and screenshots - with more on the way.

Yes indeed! Discord on its way very soon where I'll actually start showcasing some of the things made. Working on Rebel units at the moment.

are you still working on this mod?

Really great to hear, thank you. I'm looking forward to achieving both those recommendations!

So far this mod is great, looks amazing, plays pretty good, so much detail on the smallest things and honestly right now the only things i could recommend for the future of this mod is heroes and more in depth unit types.But so far this mod is one of the best mods in my eyes.

Thanks as always, I'll make sure not to

good luck but don't overwork yourself

I'm almost done planning for Separatist, Republic, and Rebel rosters and mechanics, which I've been doing on and off while in the long season of study busyness (as I have been for a while now). In a couple of weeks I'll be able to get back into this and start implementing the plan.

yo how are things

For sure :). Various other projects and commitments have been pretty full on for a while now (but that's just normal).

I must admit I do also get distracted with new experimentations: I've added automatic fleet battles in the skies (including Star Destroyers, frigates, and continuous dogfights) that are optional and mostly background, but the fighters will occasionally sweep along the ground and certain abilities will interact with it, such as pilots calling down brief airstrikes or orbital strikes from capital ships.

I'm thinking of organizing some method of showcasing, probably a fairly informal discord and youtube. I'll get the discord started soon (or at least in the next few weeks).

mods with this amount of detail take more time than most on the workshop

Sorry for the delay democratic, yup, still working when I can.

there working on it

please update this

I appreciate that, thank you! A lot to work on, a lot of improvements being done.... it continues to be an excellent learning experience.

As it happens, I am currently working on an indie game with a team. It's a splitscreen/multiplayer starfighter combat where we've focused on making duels really dynamic and dramatic (though team battles and free-for-alls will be in it too). We opened a discord recently; any here are welcome to join, no pressure though - its a different genre!

Genuinely one of the most innovate mods out here. I really appreciate how ambitious this mod is even when it suffers from implementation issues:
Such as having to micromanage infantry..
Vehicles getting stuck etc.
Still a great mod... I hope you get the chance to put these skills to use in a professional or indie setting someday.

Thanks!

AWESOME JOB !

Quick update with good news (though not on par with the Easter good news): got some time and made great progress, as Sambonie believed. Base building is now fully working, and a lot of other things have come together too.

you'll get it i believe

OK, but unfortunately slowed by a strange AI problem where it just refuses to activate certain goals, despite constantly doing another one which has less priority but the same code otherwise. The Empire roster is done, including buildings and heroes, and all the other rosters are about 40% done. Once modes and AI are finally working, I intend to post some Empire v Empire matches.

hows progress going

Awesome!

I'm so excited! Take all the time you need Tyranny.

Thanks and good advice, though its always good to be motivated by keen players! I understand it has been a long time coming.

tyranny will get to it when they get to it be patient

WORKING ON IT, I PROMISE :)

PLEASE UPDATE IT

Thank you both so much for the encouragement! I look forward to showing some preview videos sometime soon.

cant wait this mod absolutely destroys the aotcw mod

I can just feel the next update is going to be one of the best and with these additions? Oh yeah, it's gonna be one of the best mods out there for EAW

Thanks for the suggestions, in fact I'm already working on it : )

The full Empire roster is almost complete (others are half-complete), including for base building, and heroes are the current project to add. Balancing melee and force powers right is a fun challenge! The Emperor will have even his royal guards.

One of the few things that would make this already absolutely fantastic mod even better, would be perhaps heroes for the empire and rebellion or jedi knights and dark side acolytes for the republic and the Separatists, but that is probably me being a too greedy ^^;

Fair enough

that and it is also easier to tell who is shooting who because of the red and blue

Nice - glad supremacy and Republic are fun!

republic on supremacy

Awesome, I'm an Empire favourite too!

Empire ez, the ATAT and then Republic for ATTE, your mod actually gives walkers respect

I'm curious, what's your favourite faction to play as? And favourite game mode?

Thanks, that's very encouraging to hear!

this is hands down the best star wars mod i have ever found

I appreciate that, thank you!

Thanks for the hard work youre putting into this dude, especially on your own

Good question. FreeMode isn't in the game yet, that's what's coming up in the update. I see how that might be confusing given the description, sorry, so I might change that to make it more clear.

How do i play free mode, I cannot find it.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

You read my mind... commandos are coming, as are Delta Squad.

one trooper for republic that could be added are commandos

Good question! Pretty much yes. Everything has been reworked to make use of the vanilla landing zone system including base building (with units built at structures automatically landing nearby). This helps with the AI as well as lets the population cap actually work properly! While I'm very pleased with all the new mechanics I managed to work in, I've found that the closer their functioning is to vanilla the better.

I will also have non base-building game modes where you build and land troops like in vanilla. I wasn't planning on having a visible and destroyable base for those, instead fighting over capture points. A bit like Skirmish in the current version, except that you land troops. But as it wouldn't be too hard to do, a pure vanilla game mode might well be a good idea in addition.
