What's New in Fall of the Republic 1.3? Major Update RELEASED!

[@Thunder_219]

Major thank you for everyone who worked on this mod! This is truly an amazing project

[@maciejd3898]

Hi Corey great work!!! I know that team works hard on mods and I have a bug, in description from the ground up it says about heroes "only hireable mechanic-based and reward heroes from government mechanics but I can't recruit them on republic side. Please fix this, I can't wait to have heroes!!! And i have a question will you and team make optimizations to mods because sometimes i have less than 7 fps during battles when there are a lot of fighters?

[@katan28kerkhof]

Congratz Corey and the team! I have lots of respect for all your work and patience and passion for the fandom!

[@nikisepps]

I...was...in high school when I remember Republic at War being in development...I am now years into my career after college...and this is amazing that this is still such a cherished part of star wars. Thank you guys. Thank you for making me smile. I was astounded to see this was still being worked on.

[@kR-qj7rw]

well this isnt republic at war, funny enough that mod started to get worked on again but the original fall of the rpeubli minimod is from like 2008 so yeah tis been a while

[@CoryMueller]

With the Republic choosing either Palpatine or the Jedi, would it be possible for the CIS to choose between Dooku and the Separatist Senate? I like siding with the Jedi, and would love to purge the dark side elements when playing as the CIS. Just a thought :) Thank you for creating such amazing mods! (Day 2)

[@NiiRubra]

I'm not sure what that would achieve in terms of gameplay mechanics, but I think that idea is pretty cool on a narrative sense. The separatist senate is kind of absent from the game, though it makes sense that it is I guess, we play as the droid army and they were in service of the corporations, not the more morally upstanding governments that wanted to secede from the Republic for legitimate reasons.

I never really found the food and industrial part system very confusing but I also play alot of paradox grand strategy games so I might just be more used complex systems

[@baconcommando2454]

It wasn't confusing at all. Literally all you had to do was build enough of these two buildings to keep two numbers above 0. Unfortunately, too many people found that too difficult for some reason.

[@RevanX77]

@@baconcommando2454 Frankly I find the new system a bit more confusing.

[@cj-3810]

@dPark12345678 you’re the one being pretentious dude

[@NiiRubra]

I didn't have a problem with the system either, but I think the change makes sense, we were building new structures that provide new, abstract things, in a game that for the most part didn't have that sort of stuff originally (in vanilla). Now we build stuff that we would normally build in EaW to get similar results, it follows in the spirit of EaW more closely I suppose. It took me a minute to grasp the concept of how it works, but I think I got it now, they want us to fill out our planets with production structures some, instead of conquering dozens of planets and leaving them empty aside from some government buildings. As an aside, I like how the greater need for pop cap management required me to build some space stations on worlds I would have otherwise neglected so that I can put some colonies in space to up my pop cap. That's another neat little way in which they've used the stuff that is already in the game to create resource management.

Makes it way simplier for me to get stuck in now since i dont have to worry about as much at the same time. reduced starting troops is really nice too, lets me play around with fleet compositions without being stuck with what i have

[@Briskl]

Amazing! So much respect for all you! You all have made a game I loved so much better than it was before - can’t wait to play the update. Really excited about the AI changes in regard to early rushing - that was always a huge issue for me in FotR.

[@naturalbornpatriot6369]

Haven’t played since December last year! Looking forward to sinking another 40-50 hours into one campaign. Thank you all very much for the hard work, and raw dedication to your mods. Side note, how difficult is it to add Wookies to be recruitable from Kashyyk? Perhaps a hard cap on how many can be maintained at a time, 10-20. Purely for flavor, and perhaps adding them for republic in Thrawns revenge as well. Similar to Zanns Consortiom in vanilla as that faction could field Wookies and Gungans etc.

[@eclipped]

I don’t even see the point in limiting it at all? Why can’t we just have all the commanders at once and just have tactical droids for the CIS side to make up for the numbers

[@koppanygyorgy2085]

@@eclipped i got to agree. would be cool if someone made a submod that allows that.

[@CoreyLoses]

Because that is close to 50 active heroes on the map at one time. Heroes would be close to outnumbering regular units in the galaxy, let alone every tactical battle being just a pile of heroes. If the command staff system weren't there, the alternative wouldn't be having 50 active heroes, it would just mean we don't make any of the extra ones in the first place.

[@eclipped]

@@CoreyLoses surely there could be a way to sideline specific heroes to get your preferred composition, maybe so if somebody wanted more clones on the field than Jedi they could do that, I rarely use heroes like Mace if I’m being real and would rather use a clone, but I understand what your reasoning for it is

[@AntonNight]

AI Fleet compositions for me seem to include stacking 30+ light carriers, each with one squad of fighters, on top of a Lucrehulk and several Providence and Bulwark cruisers. Only way for me to not lose immediately is to post a hyper velocity gun on every world and stack fleets with Arquitens and CR70s to outrun enemy ships while I pick them off one at a time. Most of the time I don’t even bother rebuilding destroyed ststions since no matter what I post there they end up destroyed by mass bomber attacks.

[@99allthetime]

Based AI is based. Corvettes (I run 15-20 in my fleets and split them between Ctrl 3 and Ctrl 4 groups) are how I beat CIS carrier fleets

[@RevanX77]

I'm confused about some aspects of the update. First, are the scripted missions with cutscenes only available in the historic campaigns, or can they be done in the progressive campaigns as well? Secondly for the command staff, what determines the availability for hiring staff members? Starting in the first era, I believe I only had the option to unlock three systems generals and three captains/admirals, or something like that, but no more Jedi or clones. What determines what staff options are available, or do I need to fire existing characters in order to see what others can be unlocked? What is the maximum number of hired staff members for each slot at once? For example I currently only have Fordo and Delta Squad for special forces, would I need to dismiss Delta Squad in order to recruit Alpha-17?

[@CoreyLoses]

Yes, scripted missons are currently only in the historic GCs. For the command staff, the government menu (Senate icon on the lower left side of the screen) will show you who's activer and how many slots you have available for each type. Yes, to recruit a new one in a section that's got no open slots, you need to dismiss an existing hero.

[@RevanX77]

@@CoreyLoses Are there any plans to have scripted missions in progressive GCs? For the command staff, do some options only unlock/close as the eras progress? Or are all potential options available from the first era?

So far, the Mod has been amazing. My only criticism is with the removal of the Agri-port and Factory it feels like I have empty useless planets just sitting around. While I don't mind the more streamlined single resource it becomes irrelevant after five minutes of playing.

Hey nice job Corey and team! I have been a long time fan of the work you all have been doing on these Mods for EAW but something I have been wondering for awhile is why does it not let two players (or more) play a game of galactic conquest while using Thrawns Revenge or Fall of the Republic? Is there a reason that it is not available?

[@irampagingrhin0399]

Why can I not play multiplayer Galactic Conquest? Unfortunately Multiplayer GC has a lot of issues in EaW. For one, it's unstable and doesn't like cooperating with saves. For another, it doesn't allow the use of most of the things we do with in-depth story scripting or a large section of LUA scripting (and a lot of what you can do with scripting would further contribute to desyncs). This means almost every feature of both mods doesn't work, from stuff as complicated to boarding and the government/influence mechanics, to stuff as simple as build bar filters and the basics of the era system. We will hopefully do a stripped-down version for multiplayer campaign as a submod in the future.
