Thank you so much for putting out a comprehensive beginner guide like this. Is there anyway you could do something similar for thrawn's Revenge? Maybe also a breakdown of the playstyle of each faction? I've been away from the game for a long time trying to get back into it and anything like that would be extremely helpful
Is there anyway you could do something similar for thrawn's Revenge? '' he says so at the end, FOTR is smaller and finished its update first, a tr video guide for begginers should come when the next tr update is ready :D
Glad I found this video, when I first ran the mod, I immediately was sensory overload and couldn’t handle the anxiety inducing menu’s and paragraphs of tiny text.
Either I haven't played Empire at War for so long I've forgotten all the play elements or this version is far more complicated & interesting - either way, I LOVE IT!
If the player takes the order 65 route could we maybe get Padme as chancellor instead of Mon Mothma? (Or better yet the ability to choice who you can have as your chancellor would be really nice with each having there different strengths and weaknesses)
@skyguysreactions if u don't know which republic heroes unit Sate Pestage is then u obviously haven't played the game 😑...he's an emissary/advisor of Palpatine. As a unit in the game he gets the Administrator discount bonus
@@iamwill5852 I legit never heard of the character, but I am aware of one of those emissary/advisor characters from RotJ was on Coruscant. Never knew them by name. So nice of you to project that I haven’t played the game, friend. Though your concern is unwarranted. I just have no recollection of any such named character. I didn’t struggle to hold back the Separatist and ultimately lose just to have you snarkly and rudely accuse me of never playing. So childish.
@skyguysreactions yo if uve played the republic faction u'd know he's the leader wearing pink who has the same "Administrator" bonus as Nute Gunray from the Seperatist faction. Literally discounting all purchases of buildings and units. If u don't know the units ur using ur probably gunna have a hard time playing
There is an amazing amount of work done here. My only real complaint is the crazy amount of fighters coming out of ships. Large fleet battles crawl to a painful slow fps that make space battles unplayable for me.
I never bothered with the taxation buildables, because I felt bad for the citizenry. 💀 And I ended up paying for it in the end, due to the Seppies completely wiping me off the map.
Nice thanks for this video, its nice to get a little bit of tutorial! So if you play as the CIS and accidentally attack a member coorporation-faction, will that faction then become hostile to you and start attacking your worlds? Also I see someone mentioned faction guide-videos, I think that's a great idea! Even if I played the smaller scenario-campaigns first, it is a bit overwhelming to start a new GC-game, especially as the Republic. I'm not asking to have my hand held throughout the whole game, and I like the idea of having to figure it out on the go, but playing this mod is time consuming enough that it is a bit boring to have my whole campaign ruined because I did a few silly mistakes at the beginning. Where should I expand? Where should I build up stuff? Where do I draw back and abandon my territory because its not gonna be possible to hold? What defensive structures are good to build where? These are examples of tips and tricks that would be nice to have in such a guide.
1. During the construction of space bases, the icon of bases disappears in the squares on the left. It turns out, for example, that it was built in formation, but it is not displayed. 2. When you move the mouse to the units, a hint appears. But it freezes, how can I remove it? She doesn't clean up.
I'm stuck in a deadlock on mine. All the CIS ever does is attack Balmora, Corellia, and Bothawaui. I can't expand any fronts because they always seem to outnumber and outgun me 5:1 and no, cruel AI is not on and never has been on. How am I supposed to get anywhere in this game at this point. I've been hyper addicted to it bur just had a rage quit because the hyper aggressive AI wanted to land 6 MTT and 5 companies of Octuptaras on Balmorra because I'm not allowed to have Jedi heroes anymore apparently gotta make sure they wipe them all out😊
Sooooo, is there any way to fix the super messy UI in the galaxy screen? The text based UI addition in the top left corner covers up part of the planet screen, and personally I find the random "border" lines all over the galactic map really distracting. Is there a solution?
Thank you! Out of curiosity, what are those lines on the map meant to represent? Aside from that stuff, this mod seems really amazing! Thank you so much for making it, I'm really excited to get into it further.
Is it fairly simple to add “irregulars” like gun fans and Wookiee as recruitable like for Zann Consortium? If so, how? Also, is there a way to limit how many can be trained/in the field?
When I play the game, the economy bar is overlaping with the parts/ food list so i can't see my money. Is there a way to fix this? ( bdw great video and love the mod)
will it be possible to mine hyperlanes with mod in this game? or just not possible since mon cal was one of the most heavily mined system in the star wars universe
I'm a TR player and I'm not completely familiar with mods, can I have both TR and FoTR downloaded and installed at the same time. With save files in both?
If you are on Steam, if the game doesn't re-launch when you enable the mod ingame, or you want to just directly launch into the mod, go to the properties for Empire at War in Steam and paste the following into launch options: STEAMMOD=1976399102 I had to do this for some mods to work.
Not likely. Most of the mod's mechanics aren't supported, inclouding stuff as basic as the ship construction filyters, which means it'd need to basically be redone from scratch despite being a very unstale mode at the best of time. It's not really worth the work.
I play (Star Wars Empire at war) maybe someone would create another development of it with better similarities to that of Planetary antihalation instead of a single space battle and land battle join them together to create a zoomed in and out air and land style play through similar to Supreme Commander because the death star is so big there would be a Super zoom option where u can control the Deathstar and annihilate a planet while we are in a land battle or something or maybe fly a fighter from the ground up to the Deathstar and confront it or maybe select a Capital ship and build a transport with troops and land it in the middle of our land battle if I were rich I would design something like this lol
am i the only one that have the problem that the Ai, attack me evey 2-4 sekundet on a planet ? (on the lowest diffecuty) i think it was beace i picked Erea 4 >.
at the beginning of a game, AI has a lot of ships to throw at you, I would recommend creating sector fleet to defend and punish those early attacks. they usually stop once you annihilated half a dozen fleet
No, all three progressive starts have era progression. The only way it wouldn't is if you changed the era to era 1 before starting (which is labelled FTGU only)
@@CoreyLoses I play the progressive map on large and I started with the first Era. Also when is the large map back as an option for a new game ^^? Never mind. Yeah these are my settings. I can't find any quest or research tasks to do and I can't find any info in the story/spoiler window
@@CoreyLoses I just got the fall of the republic mod 1.2 version. I can not choose the type of campagne "single planet start". Do I need to take a submod? I got 1.2 version of your mod and latest version of steam from base game (called: Empire at War: Gold Pack ; in Germany). My options in the campagne mode are looking totally different... Could you help?
This is more like an advanced guide. I need to know how to you know move a unit. How do I build a unit. What are all these cheeseboard icon unit things when i click on a planet.
I wanted to know how the fleet builder worked and you told me nothing on how it works can you just make a video on it please Still a good beginners guide
Well, watching this, I can see the mod really isn't for me. It makes GQ way too much like a grand strategy game(I honestly hate GSG's, but I love RTS.) Real shame since the battles themselves actually seem fun and I like their mechanics, but it'd nice to have a "light" version of the mod that doesn't overhaul GQ as much while keeping the battle changes in. RaW is another alternative, I suppose, but all I hear is how FotR is "so much better" and RaW has terrible balance issues which has me reluctant. RIP me I guess lmao.
The galactic map stuff look more intimidating and Comex than they really are maybe try it and see if you like it Also raw is starting development again so that's also cool
Just play the from the ground up mode, it spend you with one planet and allows you to chose how you play with no real “Main objective” other than to conquer.
Games confusing as heck going from the original. It’s too over complicated this isnt an RPG game. Like ship building crews? Get rid of that and go back to the normal building ships for currency
@@CoreyLoses it’s nothing against you, your videos are good. I just think the mod is not user-friendly at all for someone who came from the original games. I still can’t figure out why I am randomly losing planets I control with not a single battle taking place. Multiple clone troopers and vehicles stationed on them instantly gone it’s ridiculous. How is that fun?
This is where the fun begins
This is where the lag begins

I think the resources parts (food & industrial) are scrapped and replaced by the new infrastructure score in 1.3
how do you get heroes in an ftgu save?
Mandalore is only present in the outer rim sieges right? Any chance of bringing it into the min galactic conquest maps?
1. During the construction of space bases, the icon of bases disappears in the squares on the left. It turns out, for example, that it was built in formation, but it is not displayed.

Is it fairly simple to add “irregulars” like gun fans and Wookiee as recruitable like for Zann Consortium? If so, how? Also, is there a way to limit how many can be trained/in the field?
Unfortunately I'm stuck in the first era in progressive large map and cannot Advance
Era 1 isn't supposed to be used in the progressive maps, only FTGU. Era 2 is the default start.
Do cloning Vats work because I made one and it still says +10 weekly?

Yes, you just change which one you launch in the launch options. Neither will interfere within having the other.

How do you download this mod can anyone plz help
are you on steam?
If you are on Steam, if the game doesn't re-launch when you enable the mod ingame, or you want to just directly launch into the mod, go to the properties for Empire at War in Steam and paste the following into launch options: STEAMMOD=1976399102
I had to do this for some mods to work.
It sounds difficult to do but trust me you actually only need to press 5 buttons and your done
How do you progress eras in FTGU
FTGU is not era progressive
Will there ever be a multiplayer galactic conquest?
Not likely. Most of the mod's mechanics aren't supported, inclouding stuff as basic as the ship construction filyters, which means it'd need to basically be redone from scratch despite being a very unstale mode at the best of time. It's not really worth the work.

Watching this while pooping is beyond setisfying
Is there a way to increade hud it's so small that it makes everything more complicated lol
Why doesn’t the save work? I made a save went to load it didn’t work just booted me out of the game/mod
Did you save in a battle?
So if I go with order 66 does Darth Vader become a hero
Can someone explain how I can make capital ships and how to make the right factory to obtain them?
Capital ships are built at planets with either a level 3 or 4 shipyard, indicated by the number near their name.
Where is mandalore idk if I’m dumb cause I can’t find it lol

How do I know which eras are best and which has what units in FTGU
Other than era 1, the unit availability is he same as progressives.
so when I play the pre Clone Wars Era on a Large Map, I will not have the evolution to the next era. Am I right?
No, all three progressive starts have era progression. The only way it wouldn't is if you changed the era to era 1 before starting (which is labelled FTGU only)
@@CoreyLoses how can I get into the next Era? I am in week 61 and don't know what to do

Never mind. Yeah these are my settings. I can't find any quest or research tasks to do and I can't find any info in the story/spoiler window
Again,.if you set the game to era 1 then eras won't progress- that's why it says not to do it. Era 1 is FTGU only.
