Han died in the skies above Kuat, fighting for the the friends he had come to love. As the tractor beam brought him into range, and the falcon began to disintegrate, he looked to chewie with one final nod of respect before the cockpit is ripped apart by the ISD. Across the galaxy, aboard a consular corvette, leia would collapse in tears and agony, and luke would feel the loss of his best friend. To add insult to injury, despite the heroism of the new republic fleet and the men and women lost to the Imperial guns, the battle was lost. While the destruction of the shipyards was important in its own right, the sting of loss would haunt the republic for years after.
Undocumented: Leia actually committed suicide. Together in death, so went her logic. The Leia who leads starting in Era 4 is a clone who has no memory of Han. It's better that way.
Classic Shack moment: 8:46 "We have an ion cannon here? Oh you guys are so screwed!" * instantly forgets about the ion cannon * 10:22 "Good god, this thing has some health!!" Oh Shack, you so silly...
As you realized at the end of the episode, your fleet was in DIRE shape. You had no proper battleships (as in MC80Bs), and your cruisers (assault frigates and dreadnaughts) just cannot soak damage. This is primarily because you weren't spending your massive cash reserves at Mon Calamari until very recently, but also because Mon Calamari is really your only capital-class Shipyard. You need to build up your space infrastructure at another key location, preferably far behind the front lines, so that you can build MC80s and 90s two at a time.
Well I usually just take every ground unit from the planets that will never fall under enemy siege from orbit and merge them into a land assault force, maybe recruit some of the more armored troops transports and tanks and then we got ourselves an army of infantry and T2-Bs.
I just sell them all, and spend the money on V-Wings and freerunners. The heroes can cap points, and the freerunners and v-wings just wreck everything else.
I usually leave a infantry unit and a light vehicle unit one every world just because canonically people would FREAK if their entire home garrison left. Generally leave some starfighters and MAYBE a corvette at every world. Shipyards get at least one heavy warship as a guardian and front lines get a full garrison and fleet (Capital wedge, Pickets, carriers, the works. Maybe 12 ships)
Shack, if you didn't know, the more of production facilities you have on a single planet, the faster it produces units. A good tactic is to create planets full of a single building in order to build those units very fast.
Aspiring Marauder :D We got a new Emperor!!!!!! He is EmperorShack of the Galaxy. You shall knee when you see him or you will be destroyed with his armada of WoodRustBucket space ships. And his grand FlagShhip. The Pelican :D 😂😂
Shack, you mentioned doing this at some point, but I want to bring it back to the forefront of your mind: Please do another Republic at War campaign! It's what got me into your channel in the first place and I'd love to see you tackle that galactic campaign once more! Good luck on whatever you do!
@27:36 Lost it at "AHH Sweet babies!! ARTILLERY WHAT THE FUCK??!!?" As I have the EXACT same thought watching it blow up all of your guys, while seemingly ZERO enemy was with them...
Omfg it still kills! Everytime... Every.God.Damn.Time. I had to search each episode from 1 til this one to find this. Luckily, each users own comments are at the top, and I knew I made this comment here. Oh god that reaction is perfect!
yeah. If you noticed, ackbar got a ship upgrade in era 2 (or was it 3). If a hero is dead, but in a later era they get a ship upgrade, they come back to get that ship upgrade. Technically this is how it works: han solo in the millenium falcon died, but han solo in the mon remonda MC80b is a hero that comes in a later era
Some remarks while watching the video: - I kind of agree with with Shack that commandoes get rekt rather quickly, however, the Empire of the Hand has Phalanx Commandoes, which can sneak past fleets directly unto the planet. This makes them very useful to take out Ion Cannons or Hypervelocity Guns on planets with not too many units. I once secured Kuat with them from the New Republic, because my fleet was having a hard time because of an Ion Cannon. The locals (who didn't side with me but also not with the New Republic) distracted the Republic troops while I blew up their power generator to get past their Turbolaser Towers. I then destroyed their Ion Cannon with bombs and the battle was pretty much over. I used 4 units (8 commandoes), only built a bacta tank and one anti-vehicle turret and there wasn't a lot of micromanagement (which surprised me; it helps that the commandoes run rather fast). So if you like using commandoes, the Empire of the Hand is a lot of fun! - Also, the Galactic Empire can only built the Praetor MkII-class when Palpatine is in power. The Pentastar Alignment can built them always (but in this campaign they don't, because their AI is inactive). - I also think that the drones don't have ping because ping is very powerful (you can just turtle, ping their pase and bombard). The drones are just spotters for the artillery. It makes sense that only high-end, expensive vehicles have ping. - If you want an actual challenge, you should really play on hard mode with the beta 2.15 patch, which enables all AI. On normal, in 2.1, there is quite some room for mistakes, and an experienced player will probably want to have to put some more effort into it.
Yeah, they have good reasons to have only two AI active. You probably already know this, but beta patch 2.15 is out, which enables all AI (and on hard mode with the EotH, Art of War is very challenging now!)
Shack you have to start using your heroes!!! Or at least check out their special abilities. For example you're carrying Lando all around the galaxy in your fleet instead of using his income bonus on your resource worlds. And there are other units you haven't even looked at like Garm Bel Ibis. Love watching your lets plays... For the New Republic!!!
Wow, I'm surprised that so many heros died in this playthrough... Han Solo with Chewbacca were one of the galaxy's greatest combat starfighters. Above Kwat he succumbed to the rage of war as another fallen hero. Caught in the tractorbeam of an ISD and left with nothing else but their fate as a hail of fire blasted upon them they at least had a view. Gazing at the vast surface of this planet with all it's decrepit wastes it reminded him just a few years ago he himself was a loathsome smuggler now after everything a General of all things. Quickly as destruction overwhelmed them the last voices heard over comms were the paniced screams gradually dying out as the carnage of battle came to a close. Their sacrifices will not be in vein let our memory of them fuel a thunderous war cry for a better brighter future. FOR FREEDOM... FOR THE NEW REPUBLIC!
The great thing about New Republic commandos is that while they lack stealth, if you can sneak them into a battle and let them plant explosives on enemy tanks, they can deal stupid amounts of damage. I know this from experience as the Empire. I once lost 5-6 AT-ST's from a single bomb because I didn't know how powerful they were. I think two of them can take down an AT-AT.
@Shack In Rebels Season 2 we got to see the Quasar become Canon once more! The New-Canon version has 4 large hangers with barriers between them, and 5 engines on the rear. I estimate it is twice the width and 1.5x the length of the version within this mod, so the reason I posted this is it is no longer a retrofit hauler, it is now an Imperial Carrier used in the Outer Rim when Star Destroyers aren't truly necessary.
Shack, there is a hero. I think his name is Airen Cracken. He acts like a scout. Kinda like an arc trooper squad in Republic at War. You can use him to scout out the enemy in space. Don't know about the ground. Your Welcome. :)
shack you do know that you can hold the mouse wheel down + control and move the standard camera 360 degrees to get different perspectives. Just tap the mouse wheel again and it will return to the standard testing position.
Shack there is two sayings I like to introduce to you; 1. if you think you have enough ships, you don't have enough ships. and 2. There is no such thing as overkill.
It seems to me that the new republic gets sensor sweeps of planets adjacent to one of their own. You own neither Balmorra nor Corellia so you don't get to see Kuat. It has happened once before in you're campaign. You also still have not figured out that the Nebulon B-2 does not have fighters. Don't be afraid to do fighter runs by warping in a carrier fleet, using all your fighters to do as much damage as possible, then retreating. Quasars are the best for that strategy but I usually have 2 Mon Cals to soak up damage if they decide to charge. I can usually take out 2-4 golans, ISDs, or likewise sizeable ships depending on how much anti fighter they've got, all at the cost of two hyperspace jumps of game time.
You have the economy to support the construction of capital ships. The imperials keep spamming ISDs and make you pay a bit for every battle especially when you invade their systems. You need multiple heavy hitters for the later invasions or the deadlock will cost you ships every engagement.
You should have a planet dedicated to certain things like one planet would be a main producer of heavy vehicles for example. It's a good strategy to pump out more vehicles in a faster rate.
Produced in the Mon Calamari Shipyards, the Sluis Van Shipyards, and the Hast Shipyards, the MC90 was the first Mon Calamari Star Cruiser designed specifically as a warship.[1] Its focus on heavy weapons and large hangars showed a realistic assessment of the firepower required to challenge Imperial-class Star Destroyers.[1] Controls and displays onboard the ship were designed, for the first time on a Mon Calamari Cruiser, for compatibility with most major species, allowing for officers other than Mon Calamari to pilot the vessels.[1]The command center was a clear bubble in the center of the ship, giving the bridge officers a vision of the area below as well as above. Admiral Ackbar was not pleased with the choice of constructing the bridge this way; he argued that it was too much of a weak spot that the Imperial forces could exploit.[6]
Hey, Captain Shack, I'm in the market for a new EaW: FoC mod and thanks to your videos, I've narrowed it down "Thrawn's Revenge" and "Awakening of the Rebellion". I've only ever modded the game once with Republic at War, 2 years ago and it was amazing but now I want to try something new. Anyway, just curious to see which of those two you prefer more or your thoughts on a comparison between them. This question is for Captain Shack but I'm open listen to anyone's thoughts on those two or any other great mods. I've played and loved just about everything about Republic at War.
what would make this mod amazing is if B-wings had that special laser that it had in the rebels series. also the V-wings remind me so much of F-302s from the Star Gate series
If you're interested in playing an empire faction then I'd suggest playing the Pentastar Allignment. You start out with less planets than the remnant or republic but it's a really good place the defend and build up your resources and forces before expanding out into the galaxy plus the few heroes they have are pretty powerful
Paused at fourteen minutes for this; I'll edit if warranted. We know you're looking to capture the planets to link but with 44k in the bank you have not made any new capital ships. This is worse since you spent the seven thousand it took almost three episodes to collect for the Mon Cal shipyard upgrade. You have two or three MC80s of any type in your whole fleet discounting Akbar or another hero I do not know about. I also have to point out again PLEASE pull Lando and the Lady Luck from the fleet as he is one of your economic gems. Can't wait to see more as I find myself invested in the story unfolding! Thank you.
Won't edit last post as it mostly stands. The new stuff comes in for trial but build any capital class while you wait to see. Even if only the MC80b while you wait. You're gaining credits and they all cost time. Push core units when you can from the limited planets as support fleets can be built from almost anywhere. Just have to say LANDO again.
You're neglecting a couple planets that are capable of producing capital ships like Fondor. With your income, you should be able to pump out MC90s and those Majestic class cruisers. That way you don't go into any major fleet engagement without your more tanky ships.
The Imperial Remnant has a different strategy, because as the player, you have the most control as to when you advance. You want to stay in lower eras, because you remain in control more. It's an interesting style of play, but I prefer the lack of complete control the New Republic and minor factions allows me. The New Republic gets much better ships as the eras continue, especially with the bug that swaps the endurance with the nebula star destroyer, making the New Republic overpowered. (The grey capital ship the New Republic get in later eras, it should be swapped with the capital ship with the red paint job, and also should cost 7 population instead of 4. It's a much more compact Praetor MK-II that costs less and is far more maneuverable.)
Dude! More MC90's! Please! They will wreck face. Plus their starfighter complement is awesome. P.S. if you can stack MC90's like you do Nebulon B's right now, you will sweep the skies clear!
Lando helps you get more money IIRC!, so put him on a world where he can make you more money. Heck take a moment and go though all the heroes and see what they do! Not all of them are just tactical many have powers that effect the strategic map! (Usually making things cheaper or giving you more money)
Shack you just dumped fleet ships into your ground army fleet dude. And that was what I was talking about. Your fleet just got wrecked. Why? because you didn't have enough fleet production up. you have several worlds that can produce lvl 2 stations and at least now 3 or4 planets to produce lvl three space stations that can pump out capital ships. You can't keep using mon cal as the main cap ship production planet it's to far out of the way. Build up a fleet and army there to guard that area. then spread out all your heros that give discounts to all the areas that build cap ships and build them there. Much closer to ALL of your front lines. You can't use just 1 fleet. You won't protect anything. You'll eventually lose more planets by using one major fleet to smack people down. in my play through I had 3 or 4 fleets. a huge garrison at every planet and at least 4 invasion armies that turn into garrisons.
with your building problem stack one type of production factory on a planet n it increases production speed n t2-b swarms are very effective in this game
The big downside to playing as the Empire (if you decide to do some videos as them) is that you need to sacrifice your own heroes to advance the Eras. For this campaign, you should use Garm Bel Iblis or Wedge and form up a secondary fleet that you can use for fast response to the little stuff that keeps popping in and hitting your stations.
Good news! In the next patch you will, as the Empire, be able to enact a regime change, which will change your leader at the click of a button. Only the player can do this, the Imperial AI won't. If you want to know how balanced this is etc., on the Thrawn's Revenge forums the devs have a good post about it.
@TheXPGamers the video was awesome but why do you only make one episode of thrawns revenge every 4-7 days? but you make star citizen videos like every 2-3 days.
One thing I don't understand is why you don't focus your fighters/bombers on the shield generators first, engines second then everything else 3rd? B-Wings Should be the mainstay of your bombing force with Y-Wings. X-Wings are the perfect all fighter escort and A Wings are great interceptors. So Kind of curious why you weren't utilizing the ships you had this way? Other than that this series has been good.
when you use your starbase on defense you REALLY NEED to use your fleet upgrades from the starbases... they are great and let you win against numerically better fleets.
Han died in the skies above Kuat, fighting for the the friends he had come to love. As the tractor beam brought him into range, and the falcon began to disintegrate, he looked to chewie with one final nod of respect before the cockpit is ripped apart by the ISD.

Fuckin Beautiful man
So majestic of a death
amazing dude amazing
Undocumented: Leia actually committed suicide. Together in death, so went her logic.
The Leia who leads starting in Era 4 is a clone who has no memory of Han. It's better that way.
BNSF1995 let alone the han who apparently runs a capitol starship in the same era. makes for a difficult time making cool stories.

Shack Get Wedge in your main Fleet You need a Flagship for The New Republic You need The Super Star Destroyer.
Yes I mean get the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya.
+Star Born Michael Hall technically shack destroyed the lusankya when he killed ysanne isars
+Suicidal Lemon *isard
Suicidal Lemon I know but in Legend The New Republic Rebuild the Lusankya and the Guardian Super Star Destroyers.
What's the point of keeping ground units on planets that the enemy can't eve touch?
even*
Better safe than sorry! btw, lol despair.
Well I usually just take every ground unit from the planets that will never fall under enemy siege from orbit and merge them into a land assault force, maybe recruit some of the more armored troops transports and tanks and then we got ourselves an army of infantry and T2-Bs.

Cap'n: You can build SSD's as the Remnant. BUILD... standard SSD's.... not just SD's... SSD's.... Long live the Empire.
SHACK get Wedge to join the main fleet now.
He can realy be useful with that Super Star Destroyer :)
Shack.
👋 you will do another lets play as the ER in this mod or Empire of the hand.
how do you know he will?
👋I will use the force on you
Aspiring Marauder :D
We got a new Emperor!!!!!!
He is EmperorShack of the Galaxy.
You shall knee when you see him or you will be destroyed with his armada of WoodRustBucket space ships.
And his grand FlagShhip.
The Pelican :D
😂😂
Love the series man! just recommend micro managing a bit better, especially in space battles with your ships abilities, like shield overloads
How could you lose Han and Chewie! D: I was screaming at the screen to pull him back (in my head at least)! DX
Shack, you mentioned doing this at some point, but I want to bring it back to the forefront of your mind: Please do another Republic at War campaign! It's what got me into your channel in the first place and I'd love to see you tackle that galactic campaign once more! Good luck on whatever you do!
are you gonna do republic at war intro's like a story during this mod?
@27:36 Lost it at "AHH Sweet babies!! ARTILLERY WHAT THE FUCK??!!?" As I have the EXACT same thought watching it blow up all of your guys, while seemingly ZERO enemy was with them...
Omfg it still kills! Everytime...
Every.God.Damn.Time.
I had to search each episode from 1 til this one to find this. Luckily, each users own comments are at the top, and I knew I made this comment here.
Oh god that reaction is perfect!
Every. Fucking. Time.
"..WHAT THE FUCK?!?”
This.Never.Gets.Old!
a bloody day for the new republic, with heroes falling and fleets burning
Solo comes back in the next era
Suicidal Lemon I guess he faked his death to go smuggling, I though heroes died forever in this mod?
They do theres just a few special cases one being solo ;)
Tactical Snowman I guess the only one who can kill a solo is a solo
yeah. If you noticed, ackbar got a ship upgrade in era 2 (or was it 3). If a hero is dead, but in a later era they get a ship upgrade, they come back to get that ship upgrade. Technically this is how it works: han solo in the millenium falcon died, but han solo in the mon remonda MC80b is a hero that comes in a later era
allmost a hour of pure star wars empire at war its the best!
Some remarks while watching the video:
- I kind of agree with with Shack that commandoes get rekt rather quickly, however, the Empire of the Hand has Phalanx Commandoes, which can sneak past fleets directly unto the planet.

So if you like using commandoes, the Empire of the Hand is a lot of fun!
- Also, the Galactic Empire can only built the Praetor MkII-class when Palpatine is in power. The Pentastar Alignment can built them always (but in this campaign they don't, because their AI is inactive).
- I also think that the drones don't have ping because ping is very powerful (you can just turtle, ping their pase and bombard). The drones are just spotters for the artillery. It makes sense that only high-end, expensive vehicles have ping.

A shame PA's AI is inactive but I can see why Corey said they can't enable it.
Yeah, they have good reasons to have only two AI active. You probably already know this, but beta patch 2.15 is out, which enables all AI (and on hard mode with the EotH, Art of War is very challenging now!)
Thank you Shack! Thrawn's Revenge on my Birthday
Shack you doing this series has brought me back into your viewer base.
As the pentastar alignment, having a fleet of venators gives you thousands of fighters in at once. its epic
That hero with the mustache has your most powerful ground unit. A massive tank.
"Oh sweet babies artillery what the fuck?!?" Captain Shack-2016
Episode 9? Wasn't the last one episode 6?
--edit--
it's been fixed now
Yes.
yeah.
Shack you have to start using your heroes!!! Or at least check out their special abilities. For example you're carrying Lando all around the galaxy in your fleet instead of using his income bonus on your resource worlds. And there are other units you haven't even looked at like Garm Bel Ibis.
Love watching your lets plays... For the New Republic!!!
Shack you need to put Lando on a mining world to boost your income
Wow, I'm surprised that so many heros died in this playthrough...
Han Solo with Chewbacca were one of the galaxy's greatest combat starfighters. Above Kwat he succumbed to the rage of war as another fallen hero. Caught in the tractorbeam of an ISD and left with nothing else but their fate as a hail of fire blasted upon them they at least had a view. Gazing at the vast surface of this planet with all it's decrepit wastes it reminded him just a few years ago he himself was a loathsome smuggler now after everything a General of all things. Quickly as destruction overwhelmed them the last voices heard over comms were the paniced screams gradually dying out as the carnage of battle came to a close.

FOR FREEDOM... FOR THE NEW REPUBLIC!
The great thing about New Republic commandos is that while they lack stealth, if you can sneak them into a battle and let them plant explosives on enemy tanks, they can deal stupid amounts of damage. I know this from experience as the Empire. I once lost 5-6 AT-ST's from a single bomb because I didn't know how powerful they were. I think two of them can take down an AT-AT.
SHACK CAN U PLS PUT THOSE MC90S IN YOUR FLEET THEY ARE VERY USEFUL !!!!!!!!
I love how they used the repair yard from X-Wing Alliance.
@Shack In Rebels Season 2 we got to see the Quasar become Canon once more! The New-Canon version has 4 large hangers with barriers between them, and 5 engines on the rear. I estimate it is twice the width and 1.5x the length of the version within this mod, so the reason I posted this is it is no longer a retrofit hauler, it is now an Imperial Carrier used in the Outer Rim when Star Destroyers aren't truly necessary.
Yeah, looking at the thumbnail, I think he knows. Still, it's nice that they are restoring some of the better parts of the EU to the new canon.
Shack, there is a hero. I think his name is Airen Cracken. He acts like a scout. Kinda like an arc trooper squad in Republic at War. You can use him to scout out the enemy in space. Don't know about the ground. Your Welcome. :)
shack just to warn you imperial heavy factories give free AT-ATs
You mean advanced factories right?
yea sorry
+Gaia Mission
Oh you're good,I just wanted to make sure.
shack you do know that you can hold the mouse wheel down + control and move the standard camera 360 degrees to get different perspectives. Just tap the mouse wheel again and it will return to the standard testing position.
Shack there is two sayings I like to introduce to you; 1. if you think you have enough ships, you don't have enough ships. and 2. There is no such thing as overkill.

Heh, Praetors.
Starting a Pentastar alignment GC you can build them from the get go, worth about 2-3 standard ISDs IMO.
Geeze this is like being in the Japanese Self Defense Force and being told you’re going to fight Godzilla lol
Anyone else feel like we skipped a couple episodes? 😂😂 I'm assuming shack was pretty tired when he uploaded this
Hey man in this mod the marauders don't have missiles so you should probably not bother with building them.
You have the economy to support the construction of capital ships. The imperials keep spamming ISDs and make you pay a bit for every battle especially when you invade their systems. You need multiple heavy hitters for the later invasions or the deadlock will cost you ships every engagement.
You should have a planet dedicated to certain things like one planet would be a main producer of heavy vehicles for example. It's a good strategy to pump out more vehicles in a faster rate.
27:41'Oh sweet Babies. Artillery, what the fuck?" I actually laughed
Please do an empire playthrough after this one, it would just be awesome to see a SSD fly in with 3 or 4 isds an just obliterate everything
+XPGamers Would you love to have an escape pod function? Maybe even special missions to retrieve the survivors, or even using them for recon!
Produced in the Mon Calamari Shipyards, the Sluis Van Shipyards, and the Hast Shipyards, the MC90 was the first Mon Calamari Star Cruiser designed specifically as a warship.[1] Its focus on heavy weapons and large hangars showed a realistic assessment of the firepower required to challenge Imperial-class Star Destroyers.[1]
Controls and displays onboard the ship were designed, for the
first time on a Mon Calamari Cruiser, for compatibility with most major
species, allowing for officers other than Mon Calamari to pilot the
vessels.[1]The
command center was a clear bubble in the center of the ship, giving the
bridge officers a vision of the area below as well as above. Admiral Ackbar was not pleased with the choice of constructing the bridge this way; he argued that it was too much of a weak spot that the Imperial forces could exploit.[6]
Hey, Captain Shack, I'm in the market for a new EaW: FoC mod and thanks to your videos, I've narrowed it down "Thrawn's Revenge" and "Awakening of the Rebellion". I've only ever modded the game once with Republic at War, 2 years ago and it was amazing but now I want to try something new. Anyway, just curious to see which of those two you prefer more or your thoughts on a comparison between them.
This question is for Captain Shack but I'm open listen to anyone's thoughts on those two or any other great mods. I've played and loved just about everything about Republic at War.

You start out with less planets than the remnant or republic but it's a really good place the defend and build up your resources and forces before expanding out into the galaxy plus the few heroes they have are pretty powerful
Yes thank you Shack. Use Wedge wisely though. Remember how you killed your enemies SSD an make sure that doesn't happen to yours.
you need to start replacing the capitol ships you've lost shack. and start thinking of getting a second fleet operational.
shack,is XCOM2 coming back, the new updates, mods and DLC's are great
Paused at fourteen minutes for this; I'll edit if warranted. We know you're looking to capture the planets to link but with 44k in the bank you have not made any new capital ships.

38:22 we do it called Star Wars The Old Republic
and it sucks.
Brian Griffin not if you have alot of friends
and money
nor if you play for free, after the 4.0 patch and just for the story
mini2239 It alot more fun if you pay
I have subscribed but it was still my favourite star wars game before that (including kotor, sweaw and star wars battlefront 2)
What you need is Golan platforms! And you have money! Build more than just 2 capital ships!
And watch your hero icons while in battle!
You're neglecting a couple planets that are capable of producing capital ships like Fondor. With your income, you should be able to pump out MC90s and those Majestic class cruisers. That way you don't go into any major fleet engagement without your more tanky ships.
Shack if you are having problems with vehicle construction, build multiple vehicle factories on a single planet
If you didn't know, you can deselect your Quasars. If you Ctrl+A then right click whatever you do not want selected.
Why does he 'test' ships? Why won't you just buy a fleet of MC90s?
Its really fun to build a bunch varied units.
+Adam M Yeah, I know that. What I'm trying to say is, why did he build only one MC90? It's a little painful to watch these videos sometimes.
Multiple heavy factories on planets do speed up the prtoduction of those heavier T4-b and T3-b tanks.
You have an ISD, it's a hero named Booster Terrik (I think that's it) but it's red and an ISD.
Your welcome for telling you about wedge
As did I
me too
you say that like you're the only who said it
you say that like you're the only who said it
I did tell him because all tho I did not know that other people also knew
Shack you should build more dreadnoughts they're more heavily armed than the assault frigates and are more equipped to take on a star destroyers
still waiting for the emperor to show up
With the Eclipse
I thought this took place after he died.....
in legend he had built clones of himself which his soul or whatever could go into.
he comes back like 5 times in clone body's and pull out super-weapons from nowhere
When I played through this mod, all the Emperor did was chilled on the ground, I still have yet to see the Eclipse. :(
Shack! capture Wayland, it's in the north of the galaxy and allows you to produce all infantry units for 1 credit
god this was painful to watch lmao
IKR
Then don't watch it...
Shack was very stubborn offensively in that last space battle with the lvl 5 station.
This was indeed very painful! all those losses
I love the series so far, although I do wish you had played as the empire because I love the variety of star destroyers. Regardless, the war goes on!
will you ever do the other Factions more so if any more are add in and what will you do if there a update that adds more to this mod?
Shack when the artillery friendly fired the infantry and you just yelled what the fuck it was so funny I just died laughing
The Imperial Remnant has a different strategy, because as the player, you have the most control as to when you advance. You want to stay in lower eras, because you remain in control more. It's an interesting style of play, but I prefer the lack of complete control the New Republic and minor factions allows me.
The New Republic gets much better ships as the eras continue, especially with the bug that swaps the endurance with the nebula star destroyer, making the New Republic overpowered. (The grey capital ship the New Republic get in later eras, it should be swapped with the capital ship with the red paint job, and also should cost 7 population instead of 4. It's a much more compact Praetor MK-II that costs less and is far more maneuverable.)
Not the Rebemer, it has been with us and fought for us for so long.
Decent content, dam I miss Galaxies! Subbed.
I never really saw how the B-Wing is goofy? I think it looks cool :)
in the words of Londo Marlari only a fool fights a battle on three fronts. but the king of fools fights battles on twelve fronts.
hey shack two questions 1 were is group survival you said august 2 were is homeworld 2 you said you were going to do that and it never happened
Totally irrelevant comment, but you've got a great profile picture!
Totally irrelevant comment, but you've got a great profile picture!
i was just wondering and thanks yours is neat to
If these could be released daily, that'd be great.
Shack you need to spam Mining facilities on planets that aren't in the front lines so you can get more credits to build more fleets
Shack.Try zooming in and dragging a single unit to the surface, that's how I usually start ground battles now
Dude! More MC90's! Please! They will wreck face. Plus their starfighter complement is awesome.
P.S. if you can stack MC90's like you do Nebulon B's right now, you will sweep the skies clear!
P.S. I'd like to give some pointers for the space battles. Would you mind if I did?
Shack, I believe the scouts that come with the artillery have ping ability
Shack, build ships at Fondor! It can build up to a lvl 3 space station!
hi shake good luck on youtube now - _- yah so please never stop!
Hey Shack! top right of the screen- hero hp bars are visible when they are warped in.
Shack, Build Capital Ships. YOU NEED MORE!!!
I did not know you could pause the game and still bring in forces! it's because usually the Pause button castrates your ability to do things.
Lando helps you get more money IIRC!, so put him on a world where he can make you more money. Heck take a moment and go though all the heroes and see what they do! Not all of them are just tactical many have powers that effect the strategic map! (Usually making things cheaper or giving you more money)
I think you're gonna need some heavy fleet investment in the next episode.
Shack you just dumped fleet ships into your ground army fleet dude.
And that was what I was talking about. Your fleet just got wrecked. Why? because you didn't have enough fleet production up. you have several worlds that can produce lvl 2 stations and at least now 3 or4 planets to produce lvl three space stations that can pump out capital ships. You can't keep using mon cal as the main cap ship production planet it's to far out of the way. Build up a fleet and army there to guard that area. then spread out all your heros that give discounts to all the areas that build cap ships and build them there. Much closer to ALL of your front lines. You can't use just 1 fleet. You won't protect anything. You'll eventually lose more planets by using one major fleet to smack people down. in my play through I had 3 or 4 fleets. a huge garrison at every planet and at least 4 invasion armies that turn into garrisons.
with your building problem stack one type of production factory on a planet n it increases production speed n t2-b swarms are very effective in this game
@5:00 Activate. Your. Interdictor. Cruiser. I'm sitting here trying not to scream at my monitor lol.
Shack if you want to build your heavy tanks faster just build more factories on those planets. The more factories the faster they build
Gydnien can make cap ships it has a level 3 space station
The old Republic is awesome
Finally. I want more
The big downside to playing as the Empire (if you decide to do some videos as them) is that you need to sacrifice your own heroes to advance the Eras. For this campaign, you should use Garm Bel Iblis or Wedge and form up a secondary fleet that you can use for fast response to the little stuff that keeps popping in and hitting your stations.
Good news! In the next patch you will, as the Empire, be able to enact a regime change, which will change your leader at the click of a button. Only the player can do this, the Imperial AI won't. If you want to know how balanced this is etc., on the Thrawn's Revenge forums the devs have a good post about it.
As Eagle pointed out, Shack will breathe a sigh of relief if he ever plays as The Empire in the next version due to them including a regime change.
Commenor would probably be a jawas dream home
Shack, use luke and kyle katarn for the field invasions please...I want to see them in action :)
@TheXPGamers the video was awesome but why do you only make one episode of thrawns revenge every 4-7 days? but you make star citizen videos like every 2-3 days.
One thing I don't understand is why you don't focus your fighters/bombers on the shield generators first, engines second then everything else 3rd? B-Wings Should be the mainstay of your bombing force with Y-Wings. X-Wings are the perfect all fighter escort and A Wings are great interceptors. So Kind of curious why you weren't utilizing the ships you had this way? Other than that this series has been good.
when you use your starbase on defense you REALLY NEED to use your fleet upgrades from the starbases... they are great and let you win against numerically better fleets.
