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

[@kR-qj7rw]

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.

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)

Na, Padme would replace Sate Pestage if anything

@@iamwill5852Who?

[@iamwill5852]

@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

[@skyguysreactions]

@@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.

[@iamwill5852]

@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.

[@Uberdude6666]

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.

[@kR-qj7rw]

They do t become hostile but it lowers your influence with them taking longer to integrate them

[@duxater2331]

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?

[@CoreyLoses]

Change to a 16:9 resolution

[@duxater2331]

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.

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.

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.

[@Rogerdodger-z7x]

This mod is really trash… it’s turns a really simple fun & easy to play game into a really hard & difficult game, the missions aren’t thought out very well at all not clear what you have to do or where to go, unit building has now become extremely complicated along with building shipyards and generally building anything on your planet, I couldn’t even figure out how to do the research for the venitor I failed to understand how anybody could enjoy this mod what looks to be amazing is actually really overly complicated and not well executed at all all I can say is thank God it was free and I didn’t spend a penny on this disappointment The fact the game is so complicated and there is no dedicated tutorial says it all Did the community really want and really complicated version of Empire at all? Or did we just want an expanded version of the really easy simple to play game?

[@CoreyLoses]

What do you mean by "unit building is complicated"? Research isn't complicated either. You press the button on the build bar- that's it The flip side of "it's free" is that we don't have to worry about what people do or don't want, we get to make the game that *we* want to play, but considering EaWX are the two most popular mods on the workshop I'd say at least some people did want this, even if it's not what you personally wanted. I like 4X and Grand Strategy games so I incorporate more of those types of mechanics, because I like the impact on game pace and the context it adds for battles. If you like something else you're welcome to make your own mod focusing on that.
