"We are continuing east to talk about some slugs" This faction is so intetesting and promising. Everyone knows the hutts, they are so important to star Wars, yet we have so little pictures of their ships and their military faction apart from their ordinary criminal henchmans. I am really looking forward to play them.
I've been waiting to be able to play as Hapes in a video game ever since I first read about them about two decades ago. Beyond pumped for this! Thank you for all your hard work on this mod, it's one of the best Star Wars experiences around today.
As one of approximately five people excited for the killiks thank you so much for bringing them into this game, however long it takes! Thrawn's Revenge is one of my favourite games and I'm so excited for everything to come!
@@Marinealver yes but there would also be subscription cost and the extra 100 dollar dlc cost if this were a AAA game being all these new factions were going to be made to buy before playing as
I mean if we had to actively pay a development team as big as ours to work as much we we do instead of having it be something we do for free in our free time then yeah, it'd have to make enough money to cover that.
@@somerandompersonidk2272 I would argue that even if the unit rosters themselves are similar (at least for now) the spawn locations give them variety. playing maldrood where you are stuck at the crossroads of what feels like everyone in the galaxy and have to shepard your small forces carfuley feels a lot diffrent then starting as say pantastar where you basically have your own little corner in the north but that corner also has the empire right on top of it. (only two warlords i have played, not done the other two yet)
When you said 100 slots my jaw dropped. O.O Corey I feel like the Dev's of Empire at War have been watching and enjoying the modding community for EaW. maybe they will be open to idea's for other stuff also?
The patch in January was made directly in consultation with the mod teams, with the majority of the fixes based on feedback and requests from the mod community.
I for one am super excited about the Ssi Ruu, but morseo the Killiks. Their absorption concept has so many fun gameplay ideas. Plus who doesn’t love some bugs in space? Seeing the mention of other hive species really peaked my interest, as a big fan of races like the Gand, might be cool to see some of them included in the mod as things progress (and hirable Bounty Hunters like Zuckuss, possibly under the Hutts even) would be cool. Great stuff guys, thanks for all the hard work!
@@jeremiahrogers8734 they were more of a warlord faction with ships as in lore they only really used captured imperial ships but I think their going to have some new ships in 3.2
Its great seeing the new model work as we're discussing new content, gives a good feel of how things are coming along, in addition of course to your descriptions.
Corey and the TR team continue to deliver beyond my wildest expectations. Growing up with the SW books that I continue to read and re-read over and over throughout the years, I always wanted to see more of that content. To actually SEE it. In games and visual media beyond obscure comic book adaptations. Then when Disney bought out SW and the decision was made to abandon all that content in favor of a new canon (a canon I do not hold positive opinions of) I had essentially felt crushed. Any hope of ever seeing the content I loved expanded on or made into games was lost. But then I found Eck in a random suggested video playing a modded version of EAW, a game I hadn't touched in years and had no idea had such an active modding community. That led me to Thrawn's Revenge and Corey's channels. You guys are beyond amazing, I love these mods so much and I just want to say how excited I am with all this new content you continue to deliver. Thank you so much for all your hard work! You are literally continuing to make my childhood dreams into reality more and more with these updates! Know you have a die hard fan in me! And that extend not just to Corey, but to all the people who are working on TR, FOTR, Revan's Revenge and Imperial Reign! (although TR is still my fave for the 4!) :D
Yea I found out about TR from Eck too, and I am so glad I did. Corey's Modding101 videos helped me get started on my own mods, one of which is public on Moddb right now. Now as to Disney dumping legends, I HATE THEM FOR IT!!! Sometimes I wonder what idiot thought that the Xyston-class Star Destroyer was a good substitute for the Sovereign Dreadnought or World devastators. I also have a huge peeve with ANYONE who calls the Resurgent-Class Battlecruiser the First Order Star Destroyer, READ THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO WARFARE!!!!!!!
Honestly seeing the Vong get added in as a "endgame boss" faction would be nice. Maybe in GC you could have a few units gated behind capturing certian planets,so players will naturally want to advance planets like Corellia and Kuat to get shiny new stuff while people playing Empire will want to hold onto those worlds with an iron grip.
The Yuuzhan Vong r gonna be pretty interesting to see in Thrawn’s Revenge. Their warriors are basically Star Wars’s versions of Orcs and Uruks from LOTR. But, their “spaceships” are gonna be pretty interesting to see.
I agree considering they have a ship as big as a planet I hope they are gonna be made extremely broken to where you have to think and strategies how to beat them they also have a ground unit that's bigger than a At At
@@starwarsnerd5524 I actually thing that they should have powerful ships of each size but they take more cost and time to balance since yuzhang vong ships need to grow and they seem to be relatively complicated to build they also had their biggest problem lack of manpower one species cannot single-handedly conquer a galaxy which is why that a big part early on is getting the peace brigade to help you early on before you get stronger ships and yuzhang vong warriors
Will the Corellian, Hutts, Duskhan League, and Ssi-Ruvi have their units be in the form of influence units that u can build with a high enough level? Love the Chiss ships. Definitely have a Stargate vibe to them
Hey Corey, this looks awesome! Can’t wait for more from your incredibly dedicated team. Can I ask: will there be a way to see which stations have been built and your planet because I can’t really see that kinds of defense stations I’ve put at some of my planets besides the trade port and shipyard. Thanks and keep it up!
That Battledragon model looks absolutely gorgeous. Also, can't wait to see the Sii Ruuvi as a playable faction, but it makes me wonder what kind of VO they would have (Or if anyone on the team plans to record unique voicelines..) I don't know much about the Yvethan or the Duskan league, so it will be interesting to see what you guys build up for them. I read the books when I was younger but didn't understand much of any of it, so I thank you and your team for bringing these somewhat obscure stories and characters to life.
@@joelmcfly5172 Thanks for the link. My comment was more a joke about someone actually auditioning VO for a species that are basically space dinosaurs, but now that I think about it, it would be nice for the stranger species to get their own voicelines if anything so that they feel like a more complete addition to the mod.
wow,just wow - Corey and his team really deserve so much for what theyre doing for us.Im rly excited for usong vong and the hutts.Cant wait to play a mega campaign with so much going on in game ^^
IIRC, the Mandalorians will be a playable faction in the team's upcoming mod Revan's Revenge, but I highly doubt they'll be a playable faction in any of their other mods. In most other time periods, they're either too small or just a subsidiary of another faction.
@@tTaseric yeah it makes no sense in FotR but after the battle of endor they start an uprising against the empire and there are many possiblities for an faction, because they have own ship designs like crusader, star viper and more and ground units aswell. So I wish for some far distant day in the future they will become an own playable faction
Looks great, Corey. I have been watching your content and playing your mod for many years now. I really appreciate you, your team, and your dedication to the story of Star Wars beyond the film. Keep up the good work.
Honestly cant wait for all this. On one note though for a personal wish of mine. You mentioned that the Corellians being one way or another is going to be a random storyline quest if I'm not mistaken. I understand that the mod is trying to stay to legends and canon stuff but for me I'd personally be interested in seeing a resurgence of the kaminoans. In legends they rebelled against the empire with a new clone army. I'd love to see them come back in this kind of way in a random chance that they spawn and it's all clone wars era units and ships. Maybe even a few new units like kaminoan infantry and ships designed by them. And if they were playable that of course would be a bonus.
Kamino is a single, by this point entirely irrelevant planet- they're much smaller than any of the powerbases of even our smallest playable factions, and generally even smaller than some other factions which existed but aren't enough to make the playable cut (Mandalorians), or even some that don't make the non-playable cut.
@@CoreyLoses Maybe it could be a case where if you conquer Kamino, you can produce clone units on that planet? Honestly with the faction limit removed it should be possible to combine FotR and TR into one roster, though the balancing and ship scaling would probably be borked.
got to say hats off to you and your team i liked the Swarm Wars Series and i like The Kiliks in Swtor like there Contection to the Celestials and always good to see a Hive Mind race in Sci-Fi always found it a interesting Concept And the Vong are my Favorite Legends Faction
Just started playing yesterday and was disappointed with the lack of non-imperial factions, definitely looking forward to non-imperial factions to get to play
They've never left, that kind of stuff has always been set to Hostile where appropriate. Exception being when the FoC/EaW map editor differences led to bugs with affiliation.
I think it would be interesting, for the Vong ships, to get inspiration from the Wraiths' ships in Stargate Atlantis, which are themselves organic. It could be a great mashup, giving them more of a blueish look ^^
PEople make the kinds of mods they want to make, joining a larger team means you're less likely to get exactly what you want, and at a certain point mod teams, like anything else, can be too big where it's too hard to manage what's going on and there's too many competing ideas.
@@CoreyLoses fair enough sir. Thank you and your team for everything you’ve done. You’ve brought me a lot of joy and I know to many others as well. May the force be with all of you.
This all sounds fantastic and I am excited for it in Empire at War, but I do feel the need to ask if we may be hearing any Ascendancy news some time soon?
Ok, so this video cleared up an oddity with your video regarding updating Imperial Warlord faction fleet rosters that included the Eriadu Authority. The update to the Eriadu Authority fleet roster did not make sense with the prior knowledge that they were slated to be cut as a playable faction.
Corey said a couple months back when the most recent update to EaW itself came out the limit to factions got increased from a glitched 16 to essentially 100, and that as a result EA wouldn’t be cut and they were free to add a bunch of other factions.
The Hutts used to have a huge empire would be cool to see them try and rekindle that. Also yay the dushkan league they are so almost comically evil I missed them.
I would welcome a brief overview of the factions that are in game and how they play, the names of them I cannot associate with anything that I know of.
Who will the Chiss have for heroes? I’m sure they’ll have Formbi, maybe Twesk, but who else? Will you create fanon heroes or take some from the Canon Ascendancy Trilogy? You also mentioned EotH ground reworks. What will that look like? Will they still have exclusively Chiss for their infantry? Will they have A-racks or Imperial Troop Carriers like in the books? And I assume that you want to stick away from Stormtroopers for them? Even though they seem to have used a lot of Stormtroopers, I get that you want them to be more unique compared to the Imperials. Is there any possibility of seeing Troukree, Stromma or Eikaries as infantry for them?
Looks like you guys finally balanced the hapans :D Battle Dragons were a joke a few patches ago, thank goodness they dont expand by themselves. on the other hand, the 3 battle dragons still pretty easily shot down an isd2 and a victory 2. i know its hard to account for in a game, but the battle dragons were described as notoriously inaccurate, somehow making their ridiculous armament for their size less OP. i really hope you considered that, the battle dragons really were a complete joke in most patches, no matter which approach the player took.
Can't wait for the GC where it's all factions _except_ the Empire, warlords and NR (and EotH?) duking it out in a free for all, akin to 'Empires at War'.
Are there any ideas towards modifying galactic campaign faction interactions? With so many factions it's very unfortunate that there's really no way to form alliances between factions, the Empire of the Hand and the Chiss Ascendency for example should be naturally allied and have some kind of political interactions, but in the EAW system one would always just be the natural first conquest for the other.
Hapes: Will Hapans get more planets? Also as in EU will thier Ion be stronger than other fractions but with less turbo laser DPS? Also any hints on gov mechanics? Also do they get any modifiers due to how female dominant they are? Also do you have a timeline on what faction will be implemented in order obviously with no dates?
Will the ai for non playable factions be increased bc I don't ever see the Japan's in the current version invade any planet I don't want a strong ai don't get me wrong but that they put some sort of danger to you and don't be like independent forces with a slot lol
@@CoreyLoses that is cool. By the way did you have any plan to introduce more minor imperial faction like the second imperium or the moff council that supported triclops.
It would be very cool if you add the actual first order and the resistance since I don't think that they are worth for an entire new mod. It would be really cool to see canon and legends civilizations one against the other
If we ever did it it'd be more work to try to work them onto TR than their own mod. They'd still have to have all the different units and mechanics, and different GCs, the only difference is we'd have to do even more work to get around game limitations and try to design their war around mechanics we have in TR rather than what makes sense for them.
@@CoreyLoses odd question as it seems the empire stagnates on making newer ships later on after the dark empire phase would you guys consider adding things like the resurgance as later made imperial ships? oviously not the big ship i forget the name of just a thought as that seems the ship most folks want.
I just want to ask Corey is there ever a way to have era progression and heroes with a single planet start. I won’t pretend I know how hard it might be to do, but wanted to ask if it is possible or doable.
@@CoreyLoses oh, cool. I didn't come around to see your last video about RR, and than forgot about it until your answer just now. Thats another reason to watch it asap.
They've said that several factions are planned to get boarding shuttles in a few videos. And I'm like 90% sure Hapes was specifically mentioned in that context. So you can probably assume so. In the lore they never built their own ISDs but they did capture several. So it would make sense for them to have the shuttles.
Idk how I feel about space dinosaurs. I kinda dislike them as a concept like the Vong but I could be just in the minority. Having alien factions is cool but having raptors with lasers feels absurd. I won’t mind Star Wars like raptor CREATURES but carrying weapons? I do like having the Chiss and the Hutts flushed out more as unique factions with the Hapes. I really hope Corey is careful with some of the stranger elements of the extended universe. I hope this doesn’t lead into space zombies (I’m not talking about the rat ghouls).
Your ground situation is a mess. Its a pain in the but manage. You have added a lot of resource building but when you look at what your dealing with on some of these planets ground slot it become nightmare to have to manage. You have all these build to make that are important to generate troops and food etc and you have on average 2 to 4 slots. I put GC down and played the skirmish mode. My advice is to give all planets no less than 6 slots as a base if your going to add all of that to the game.
You generally only need one of each resource structure per ~10 planets, and planets actually tend to have 3-5 slots, mostly 4-5, and even a bunch with 6. Considering there's only one planet in the mod's files with 2 slots at all, and it's not even used on any maps (Manaan), I don't know where you could possibly get the idea that the "average" is 2-4.. Unless you're significantly mismanaging your resources and ground slots, you have way more than enough slots on planets to have both production and resources built up. If we increased that to *no fewer* than 6 you'd have way more slots available than you ever did before we added any resources (part of the point of which was to make planet development take slightly more thought than "spam all the things everywhere"), and every single ground battle would turn into a huge grindy siege, which is absolutely the opposite of what we want.
"We are continuing east to talk about some slugs"
This faction is so intetesting and promising. Everyone knows the hutts, they are so important to star Wars, yet we have so little pictures of their ships and their military faction apart from their ordinary criminal henchmans. I am really looking forward to play them.
It's a tie for me between the ssi ruuvi and the hutts they are both so cool idk space slugs or space dinos so many choices 😂

This mod has so much content, that it puts many full-price games to shame.
I agree completely. But to be fair even most AAA titles don't have 10+ years of development by die hard fans like the TR team.
This mod seems like the content has tripled in the last year
Would the Full Price be the $70 starting, or including the thousands of MTXs?

In all honesty, if you haven't played all of the factions there is no rush at the concurrent time. The warlords largely play the same.

And I assume that you want to stick away from Stormtroopers for them? Even though they seem to have used a lot of Stormtroopers, I get that you want them to be more unique compared to the Imperials. Is there any possibility of seeing Troukree, Stromma or Eikaries as infantry for them?
Looks like you guys finally balanced the hapans :D
Battle Dragons were a joke a few patches ago, thank goodness they dont expand by themselves.
on the other hand, the 3 battle dragons still pretty easily shot down an isd2 and a victory 2. i know its hard to account for in a game, but the battle dragons were described as notoriously inaccurate, somehow making their ridiculous armament for their size less OP. i really hope you considered that, the battle dragons really were a complete joke in most patches, no matter which approach the player took.
Can't wait for the GC where it's all factions _except_ the Empire, warlords and NR (and EotH?) duking it out in a free for all, akin to 'Empires at War'.
Are there any ideas towards modifying galactic campaign faction interactions? With so many factions it's very unfortunate that there's really no way to form alliances between factions, the Empire of the Hand and the Chiss Ascendency for example should be naturally allied and have some kind of political interactions, but in the EAW system one would always just be the natural first conquest for the other.
We want Chiss!
Hapes:
Will Hapans get more planets? Also as in EU will thier Ion be stronger than other fractions but with less turbo laser DPS? Also any hints on gov mechanics? Also do they get any modifiers due to how female dominant they are?
Also do you have a timeline on what faction will be implemented in order obviously with no dates?
I realy want to just be winning my galactic conquest and having Unlimited Power and then have the yuuzhan vong as a new threath
Will the ai for non playable factions be increased bc I don't ever see the Japan's in the current version invade any planet I don't want a strong ai don't get me wrong but that they put some sort of danger to you and don't be like independent forces with a slot lol
The Hapans don't have any AI on the Galactic layer at all at the moment. That's why you don't see them do anything
Do you have any plans for the vagaari and nuso esva? Both of these factions could make the unknown regions more interesting.
Not as playable factions, but hopefully for some independent forces.
@@CoreyLoses that is cool. By the way did you have any plan to introduce more minor imperial faction like the second imperium or the moff council that supported triclops.
will the corallian faction have the Torpedo Sphere?
I have never heard of any of these factions
Will the zero command come to tr as non playable in 3.2
The ssi Ruuk have potential but I worry how fanon we are going to have to get into this like the Hapans I know of some heroes but what about others
It would be very cool if you add the actual first order and the resistance since I don't think that they are worth for an entire new mod. It would be really cool to see canon and legends civilizations one against the other
as the sequel era develops both factions will have more content to work with to inspire expansions line this
If we ever did it it'd be more work to try to work them onto TR than their own mod. They'd still have to have all the different units and mechanics, and different GCs, the only difference is we'd have to do even more work to get around game limitations and try to design their war around mechanics we have in TR rather than what makes sense for them.
@@CoreyLoses odd question as it seems the empire stagnates on making newer ships later on after the dark empire phase would you guys consider adding things like the resurgance as later made imperial ships? oviously not the big ship i forget the name of just a thought as that seems the ship most folks want.
I just want to ask Corey is there ever a way to have era progression and heroes with a single planet start. I won’t pretend I know how hard it might be to do, but wanted to ask if it is possible or doable.
hyped for the hutts !
what's the possibility of adding diplomacy?????!!
Are the Hapans a result of a trekkie switching up franchises?
When will the league return?
Is it possible to introduce diplomacy to the game?
Depends on what specifically you're looking for from diplomacy.
Is the a rough guesstimate to when this could be releasing?
GIMMIE DEM HUTTS
who are the kilux? idk if im spelling it right.
giant space ants
With multiple factions coming will multiple factions become playable in the same release?
Will Leia ever be a hero you can use?
She is. If you mean as a jedi? I hope so. But, she is in the mod as a playable hero (she gets two noghri assassins spawning with her).
@@alukenbachauthor when do you get her like which era
@@nicholasboyle3291 5-7
No mandalorians?
They're not really in contention as a galactic power at this point.
@@CoreyLoses Do we have a chance to see them in Revans Revenge?
Yes, we've already shown a lot of their stuff
@@CoreyLoses oh, cool. I didn't come around to see your last video about RR, and than forgot about it until your answer just now. Thats another reason to watch it asap.
@@CoreyLoses I would prefer them to the hapes or corellians
A HUNDRED slots.... W H Y even? Lmfao
Will the Hapes get ISD or boarding Shuttles to take over ships.
They've said that several factions are planned to get boarding shuttles in a few videos. And I'm like 90% sure Hapes was specifically mentioned in that context. So you can probably assume so. In the lore they never built their own ISDs but they did capture several. So it would make sense for them to have the shuttles.
DA VONG
How can I play this?
we need mando's
They'll be playable in Revan's Revenge.
@@CoreyLoses nice i love the mods you guys do great work 😁
Isn't it posible when you have mondolore as a plantet that you get a mando unit that is recrutible only there
Mandalorians? I miss RotM.
Idk how I feel about space dinosaurs. I kinda dislike them as a concept like the Vong but I could be just in the minority. Having alien factions is cool but having raptors with lasers feels absurd. I won’t mind Star Wars like raptor CREATURES but carrying weapons? I do like having the Chiss and the Hutts flushed out more as unique factions with the Hapes. I really hope Corey is careful with some of the stranger elements of the extended universe. I hope this doesn’t lead into space zombies (I’m not talking about the rat ghouls).
Your ground situation is a mess. Its a pain in the but manage. You have added a lot of resource building but when you look at what your dealing with on some of these planets ground slot it become nightmare to have to manage. You have all these build to make that are important to generate troops and food etc and you have on average 2 to 4 slots. I put GC down and played the skirmish mode. My advice is to give all planets no less than 6 slots as a base if your going to add all of that to the game.
You generally only need one of each resource structure per ~10 planets, and planets actually tend to have 3-5 slots, mostly 4-5, and even a bunch with 6. Considering there's only one planet in the mod's files with 2 slots at all, and it's not even used on any maps (Manaan), I don't know where you could possibly get the idea that the "average" is 2-4.. Unless you're significantly mismanaging your resources and ground slots, you have way more than enough slots on planets to have both production and resources built up. If we increased that to *no fewer* than 6 you'd have way more slots available than you ever did before we added any resources (part of the point of which was to make planet development take slightly more thought than "spam all the things everywhere"), and every single ground battle would turn into a huge grindy siege, which is absolutely the opposite of what we want.
@@CoreyLoses this was not my experience. It was completely unenjoyable to manage. I just stick with skirmish mode.
