Chiss Ascendancy Space Units Revealed! | Empire at War Expanded: Thrawn's Revenge 3.0 News

[@isaiahsmith7123]

Not gonna lie, I miss the old designs, but these are just so we'll done, and are pretty unique. I'm excited to see them in campaign gameplay.

[@dajosh42069]

Personally I *really* love the Peltist's design. It already more or less matches the newer design aesthetics, and already looks more detailed (as in LOOKS like it has a higher poly count) then all of it's contemporaries currently in the released version. 3.0 has really got me hyped about it!

[@NECROcade]

yeah i hope the old designs get used as a sort in either chiss or EotH as a sort of carrier variant or something along those lines

[@The_Lunch_Man]

I will miss the old designs, they’ve become my head canon Chiss and EotH ships since we never really got official designs. But that being said, these new designs are absolutely beautiful, and I can really see these ships fitting in.

[@a1403s]

I wish they won´t change the Peltast

[@oseritzel]

@@a1403s The Peltast will stay most likely the same. Maybe a better texture, but it's not being redesigned.

Which books?!

@@justinjeffries1554 every book concerning thrawn, the old thrawn trilogy and outbound flight. There's a few descriptions of Chiss ships in those books.

[@WeissVogel]

I wished those Chiss ships were part of the canon whether EU or new canon. I was intrigued with how the Chiss Fleet looked during the events of Outbound flight

[@adamfellenbeck9289]

What you and the team did to EaW should be tought in every programing/digital art school. Those models and the way you are stomping on the borders of the games capabilities is beyond masterclass in regards of modding. Honestly if you guys would come out with an original space RTS I would buy instantly. (P.S.: I can't wait for the new Ascendency SD model, it is one of my favourite design.)

[@cydonianmystery5193]

These new Chiss designs are impressive! I definitely see myself playing as the Empire of the Hand far more when 3.0 drops...

[@thomasryan9024]

When is it going to drop?

[@charlieo1138]

Stunning and impressive work. Loving Thrawn and the EotH is what brought me to the mod. Been holding off doing EotH GCs for the past two releases because you mentioned an overhaul. So glad I waited. I am psyched for 3.0!

[@Jin-di9zv]

Finally. I always thought these guys could use more re designing. Love how they look. Way different than standard star wars design and more over like out-universe kinda look to it.

[@matthewmohri9990]

Okay I'm sold. The new designs look great and the unique designs I expect from The Empire of The Hand. I look forward to seeing more. Cheers.

[@lordlard2833]

EotH has always been my personal favorite in this mod. Super excited to get some new ships to play around with as I paint the galaxy!

[@Zarkaithnia]

Empire of the Hand is my favorite faction. I do find myself prefering the Chiss ships over the Empire ones. I am super excited to see how the split up works out.

[@A_Jannik]

Awesome designs, really love them and they bring a new look compared to the other factions while still fitting into the universe and the mod

[@sadaasdafa8635]

Corey, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you and your team for being one of the only people involved in developing the beloved Expanded Universe.

[@skilledwarman]

Would you guys consider giving Admiral Ar'alani The Steadfast? Idk if she had a flagship in Legends, but at least in Canon (and I know this is a Legends mod) we've see that shes had that ship for decades as in universe, and we've also seen what it actually looks like

[@josesanchezrodriguez1783]

In Legends and during the Ascendancy trilogy she had the Vigilant while she has the Steadfast in Alliances and Treason. The Steadfast seems like a new class of ship since it has Deflector Shields while Vigilant had primitive Electrostatic Barriers.

[@dardo1201]

The Intego looks amazing, I'm glad the long wait was worth it. Can't wait for the new Chaf and Ascendancy models, if the Chaf is actually getting a redesign, because to me, it was already the nicest design around. And is the Peltast getting a redesign too? Because that already looks great imo.

[@oseritzel]

The Chaf will get a new model and a modified design. You will still recognize it as the Chaf. And the Peltast stays like this. Maybe a new texture, but only maybe.

No, it's a new canon design as opposed to Legends

[@dajosh42069]

I truthfully/genuinely have *_more than 3000 collective hours_* playing Empire at War. I tend to rotate from anywhere between 2 and 8 different mods at any one given time. As in; I'll have between 2 and 8 concurrent GC scenarios that I will alternate between, depending on what sounds more fun at the time. With so many mods, and GC's, and factions, and difficulty levels, and SUBMODS, it's not unreasonable to say that I (all of us who love EAW and it's modding scene) have NO SHORTAGE of mods to choose from... Yet regardless of how many concurrent GC's I'm running, you can be *CERTAIN* that _at least _*_ONE_* of them (if not more ;)) is EAW: Expanded. I've played so much, I can tell you where all the capturables, on just about all of the maps, are. I can tell you what faction a raid fleet is from, at a glance.. Hell... No exaggeration.. I purchased Empire at War _SPECIFICALLY_ because of/to play Thrawn's Revenge! My point is; _I've played a hell of a lot of EAW in general,_ *and EAW:X in particular.* And even after such a ridiculous number of hours spent playing EAW:X, seeing these 'upcoming feature(s) videos' *still* got me hyped for 3.0. I eagerly await it's release! :) :) :D :D

​@@Lair_of_Adair TR version 2.1 (and maybe 2.2.0; can't remember) is playable in GC multiplayer and still available for download on their ModDB page, though in case of version 2.1, you would have to do without the Eriadu Authority, Greater Maldrood and Zsinj's Empire (unless you play The Hunt for Zsinj), without several units and central government buildings, the Influence mechanic and with vanilla economic and ground combat mechanics (massed infantry shredding AT-ATs in seconds, being able to spam mining facilities everywhere etc.), lower res textures for basically everything except the Syndic and Phalanx and over the top (Turbo)laser and ion projectiles. On the bright side (if Empire), it has overpowered XR-85s and a max buildcap on Executors of seven (7!). Then there's Jerec (Pentastar Alignment) having actual voice lines, which, depending on whom you ask is either a blessing or a curse. -"OnE dAy, eVErytHiNg, wiLL be mInE!1"-

[@Anthony-jo7up]

Philipp Obitz Man those Jerec lines make me laugh, I miss them so much.

[@warlordgrandadmiralthrawn1096]

I am very disappointed. The Phalanx and Intego redesigns look great, but I also liked the old ones. It would have been nice to see these two designs come in without pushing the others out. The others are worse, in my opinion. The old Syndic was a lot better, and the old Interdictor was, as well. My biggest complaint, however, is that you are being at all accurate with the Chiss ships. I had been really looking forward to seeing them come in because I thought that they would be unique. They should not have any Capital Ships. They used only very small craft. Their largest ship should be the Chiss Star Destroyer, at 1000 meters, available only Era 5. Everything else should be even smaller. I hope to see a few ships from the new Canon book Chaos Rising make it in. I know it is the wrong timeline, but who cares? Seeing the Nightdragon Man-of War as a 800 meter ship(largest Chiss ship until era 5) would be great. But in canon they did use larger ships, like the Chiss Warship at around 1500 meters. They did not use ships that big in Legends, and you should not have anything that big here. Also, making Siath be an Era 1 and 2 hero for the Ascendancy would be cool. It also would be interesting for the Hand to have a way to form an alliance with them(other that conquering and making them a vassal).

[@CoreyLoses]

For the design preference, that's your opinion but, obviously not one we share. The point with redesigns was always to redesign them. As far as lore goes, you're wrong or at the very least ignoring context on a few points. The thing about "only having small ships" was from a really old RPG source and had the Chiss fleet been covered basically anywhere else, ever, it probably would have been superceded, and in fact had already begun to be. The period it was referring to was also not super clear. The Chiss Star Destroyer was an Empire of the Hand design, not Chiss proper. Beyond OBF and stuff integrated *from* the Empire of the Hand, we don't really get any information about actual Chiss ships, and just because that's literally the only one we see from that period doesn't mean it's the biggest anymore than it means it's the smallest. It was just the only one we saw.The lore for the Chiss is very limited, and also has some inconsistencies because of some authors misunderstanding the relationship between the Hand and the Chiss, which Troy Denning started to address with later books.

[@warlordgrandadmiralthrawn1096]

The lore is undoubtedly limited, and there definitely were people who did not understand the difference between the Hand and the Ascendancy(Which is rather confusing, since they don’t have all that much in common other than location and a few ships. I suppose the Household Phalanx was almost all Chiss, and they are what we see the most of in NJO.) And I suppose you are right that it was never stated outright, but it is kind of implied that they use nothing larger than the Chiss Star Destroyer. As for the Chiss Star Destroyer’s origins, I think it was most likely a joint venture, as the Hand and Ascendancy started to get along better. I had just been expecting that the Chiss would be an all frigate faction. I am sure they will still be great. I am especially glad that the Hand will now not be all Chiss. Hopefully we can see some Stromma or Eickarie foot soldiers for the Hand.
