The mere fact is that the Confederacy of Independent Systems droid army is ridiculous large, and logically speaking the Republic couldn’t defend itself with the pitiful Clone Army size. The CIS by all rights should have won the war in the matter of months if not weeks, if it wasn’t manipulated by Palpatine in the shadows. Also there is no problems with the Baby, as a parent takes priority to the channel so take care.

Diversity of equipment isn't necessarily a good thing. Particularly in large scale conflicts. As often these things would then have different logistical needs and couldn't be easily be supplied, particularly if put under stress. If all the weapons systems are easily interchangeable, that diversity won't be a problem... BUT if not, and the Separatists then send supplies that would work for one ship to a different one... there the diversity in their ships creates a problem rather than an advantage.

It's more that the sepies used their ships correctly. The Republic didn't. For example the Venetor: it was a fantastic carrier but was in no way fit to be a ship of the line slugging it out with other capital ships like the Victory and Imp 1 and 2 class were. But the Republic decided to force the ship into that role and they paid for it over and over again. On the other hand you don't see the separatists using.. say a lukerhulk for the ship of the line role for the reason the Venetor sucked at it. They used frigates and other ships designed to dish out and take a beating.

Adding to the question about Separatists joining the Rebels, it's also possible that some Separatists would assume they'd overthrow the Empire and be able to negotiate their own sovereignty, or, failing that, have a strong impact in shaping the New Republic. They'd basically have a clean hand and, even if they had been defeated in their own war, their former enemies would've been similarly gutted.

According to my sources, By the end of the Clone Wars, there were *Quintillions* of active droids, and that the entire droid forces were said to outnumber the Clone armies 100 to 1. Add this to the fact that they were built to literally overwhelm enemies. Then add that there were droid factories all over the galaxy, and if you destroyed one, two would pick up the pace, basically, if needed! Then add Admiral Trench, Grevious, etc and it’s such a beautiful masterpiece! Too bad they were all pawns.

if you play vanilla Empire at War: Forces of Corruption full scale galactic conquest as the Empire you basically get the position Republic was in at the early Clone Wars- you get to defend a bunch of core worlds that can be approached from pretty much everywhere and if your defenses are broken after you focus only on surface-level defenses- it can get very messy. In game it's best to gather a smol fleet (2 broadside cruisers, 2 tartan cruisers and ~3 acclamaitors) and quickly go on offensive against one of the enemy factions, take care of half of their worlds so that one side of the galaxy stops being a problem.

Well, here are my theories as to how the Republic survived the first year of the war despite these conditions. One: Palpatine manipulating things. He would leak information to the CIS to aid in Separatist attacks like with Kamino. Alternatively, he could have also leaked Separatist info to the Republic. Two: Separatist Leadership. When it came to Separatist officers, Dooku usually chose the most aggressive and most heartless commanders to attack the Republic and left the nicer and more merciful commanders on the defense. However many of these Separatist officers were also greedy, many coming from the megacorporations behind the Separatist military. They may have also been overconfident thanks to their massive military, assuming they would easily conquer the galaxy, so they spent more time spreading their control on the planets they conquered instead of just rushing towards key Republic worlds. Three: Republic Tactics. It’s likely the clone army had to fight a bit like the Rebel Alliance to stop the advancement of the CIS. Hit and run attacks and quick strikes. They had to make a few ships and a few thousand men beat far larger enemy numbers. Four: Public Sentiment. The CIS was pretty popular at first, as they were trying to become an alternative to the Galactic Republic. Hence why at first many worlds joined the CIS willingly. That changes though when the terrors of Grievous and other Separatist commanders were revealed. While Dooku was able to keep the CIS from learning the truth with the Shadowfeed Network, the rest of the galaxy was horrified with the testimonies of survivors. It’s also likely COMPOR and the Holonet News also exaggerated many Separatist war crimes.

You think dooku would've realized he could've won the war at almost any moment and just go for it. He was planning to betray palpatine at some point anyways.

If you looked at the battles in the first few seasons of the Clone Wars, it would be clear who had the advantage. It was mostly Republic worlds being invaded by CIS forces while small Republic raids were done to hinder the advance of droid armies and fleets. Of course from Season 4 and onwards we then saw the Republic mostly on the offensive. It’s always going to be funny to me how the first battle of the war started as a Republic attack on a Separatist world, ended as a Republic victory, and yet almost right away afterwards it was the Republic on the backfoot and fighting for its survival. It was probably only by the Outer Rim Sieges that the CIS really started to sweat and wonder if they were going to lose the war. Meanwhile the Republic right away thought that the CIS would blow right past them. And to be fair, just look at Raxus in the Bad Batch and Coruscant in Revenge of the Sith. Both are capitals in the center of their territory and yet Raxus survived without becoming a war zone while Coruscant got wrecked. I wonder if there was ever any resentment among the Imperials of how the Core Worlds were struck by the Separatists while their counterparts surrendered after the deactivation of the droid army, sparing themselves from horrible battles. Though the Imperials would ensure the CIS got a taste of their own medicine as well as far more than they really deserved.

One of the key moments I remember from Shatterpoint is how Mace Windu noticed Palpatine suffering from the side effects of his Dark Side use, but never made the connection at the time. It gave Mace's actions in RotS a level of hindsight urgency that I don't think we get anywhere else in either the Disneyverse or Legendsverse. Side note: the baby babble just made me want to squee

It is often difficult to get super in-depth when writing lore I have noticed. For example, they said Umbara had 4-5 Clone Battalions taking the Capital, that is about a Regiment of Soldiers, but it doesn't make much sense because when I was in the military it took far more than a single regiment to take Ramadi and the insurgents their had AK-47s and RPGs, not Super-tanks, Centipede Death Machines, and Fighters that were all impregnable to standard weapons, it would probably take no less than a full Corp maybe field army to take Umbara. However, you look at Geonosis they talk about it being a planet-wide campaign so that it actually feels like an invasion, but they don't go into the number of soldiers. Hell, in WW2 the Allied powers had a total of over 40 million foot soldiers to take a continent, to take a galaxy I would imagine the Republic would have to institute a draft and have several hundred million clones, its probably why the seppies picked droids.

When they talked about 200,000 units of clones being ready, I always assumed they meant clone units rather than individuals, like squads or battalions. I'd go with battalions rather than squads honestly.
