    The fact that this nearly 20 year old game keeps getting official patches is proof that it is more than deserving of a sequel.

      It’s a timeless game. I’d love if they made some official expansions for it or a full on remake/sequel. I’m sure it would be profitable. They could do all three main eras. I think it should still have legends stuff. They could have different modes or stories like a canon campaign, legends, and mixed. Idk there’s a lot they could do.

      They still update their 8-bit armies games too, I think they did some music overhaul this week.
      I wish they had the source code for Dune 2000, over the years a few Devs from the Westwood days have tried helping fans get servers recognised as official so we don't have to use third party software to play multiplayer, or even just to play on Windows 10.
      Unfortunately every time someone got close they seemingly disappeared, I'm guessing EA stepped in but there's no way to know for sure.

In this case its also a lot of love for the game they made, its not like there is a reason for them to work on it, its just a few bucks (often under 5$) and there are no micro transactions like Battlefront & co. has, so they dont really earn anything by doing it, its just awesome that they invested the time.

People were confused why Sins was getting updates after 10 years and it turns out they were testing player engagement and eventually made a sequel (now early access). Devs don't usually update 10+ year old games just for the sake of being nice, and this is the 3rd year in a row that EAW has been updated.....so maybe something is actually happening? One can dream

    *Unit veterancy* and *'leveling' a named unit into higher unit tiers* - e.g. promoting a hero unit, or corvette commander into a frigate or cruiser command, or a named company into a higher tier of infantry or vehicles - would shift game-play toward a higher degree of immersion and strategy due to another incentive to preserve forces in battles...

    Truly amazing that Petroglyph has been supporting this game for the past 20 years. Not only is the this a testament to the greatness of the company but of the game they created as well.
    THis is an example of money well spent having bought the game and expansion pack twice, once when it first came out, and then 15 years later on Steam.
    Thank you Petroglyph!

    Do this update mean you will make more Factions available in Fall of the Republic? Do you think this will bring an uptick in Factions across the entire modbase? With the game going into 64 bit will this make modeling assets harder? With the increase in textures will lower or less capable computers be able to still run the game reasonable fast? Some questions that popped up while watching this amazing video.

    I haven't played these games in a decade but absolutely loved them back in the day. This video just came into my recommended and I'm actually shocked that this game still has mod and even dev support! I think I'm gonna have to dust mine off soon and try out some of these mods since I only ever played vanilla as a kid.

    Ooh, what about maintaining a damage profile for capital ships and SSDs, ships over a certain size, to represent repairs on larger vessels taking longer, perhaps repairing faster for fleets at shipyards. Impractical for all ships/units but maintaining it for larger ships makes lore and game sense. If you ravaged the hardpoints on an SSD, only to lose the battle, then face it again at full HP the next fight? Doesn't seem right to me.
