Just started a new thrawns revenge campain as empire today, and i decided this time i would actually do ground battles instead of autoresolving them. But moly holy are they are hard. I lost like 30 pop worth of ground units in the early game trying to invade a planet. Maybe you could do a guide on them too?

[@derlasercrafterwally4342]

Matt the radar technician Yea it takes a lot sometimes. In the lategame i have armies of 200 pop ground to autoresolve. You’d think it’s be too expensive for cruel/admiral but its really not at all(atleast for PA). Most i have lost in one autoresolve is probably like 60-70 units

[@knighthammer7495]

Air units are good on some maps. Just defend the landing zone with heavy firepower (I.E. AT-AT or T4B) until bombing run/orbital bombardment is ready, scout with air units, blow up a few structures, then retreat and invade again facing fewer units spawned from structures. You can also use heros to tank enemy firepower as their health auto-regenerate, though it's somewhat risky. Late game land combat could be terrible though, especially on smaller maps where you units get overwhelmed as soon as you land.

[@IXIammerlock]

the ai in TR is hyper aggressive so always expect the landing zone to get rushed, and prepare accordingly

[@LordRunty]

I usually fortify the ground on the isolated planets. Many worlds, can be held pretty easily with modest forces in most mods with the unit cap being so low at most starting landing zones; especially those with strong friendly populations. It means you can often just rush the landing zone, build defenses and get the free credits from mining structures. Some worlds are effectively impenetrable in some mods when Turbolasers are installed as well, Kamino and Mon Cala (original map) come to mind as easily fortified worlds that become Cadia with Turbolasers. I don't know how well this would work in Thrawns Revenge, since I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet. But works great in vanilla and in both of the old republic mods I've tried.

Just use the base defenses and have 2 atillary 1 tank fill the rest with infantry and have the beguiling be medium mechanized buildings

[@slicedice2633]

Eck forgot 2 MAJOR things. One is the fact that other warlords planets(light green color) and the Hapes(purple/pink color) never attack meaning you can use them to secure borders. Second is that the AI attacks with a fleet that is relative in size to what you have in space at the moment. So if you have a massive fleet of 400-500 the ai will attack with a massive fleet too. However if you have something like a few ships over that planet the AI attack fleet will me much smaller. You can use this to your advantage by abusing the warning system ingame that calls out incoming fleets. You do not get a warning if you have no ships in orbit. Now what you do is you leave any ship in orbit and you keep your main defense force somewhere nearby. If done correctly you can keep while sections of the map safe with relatively few ships. Also evading those massive fleets will let you save ships.

[@josh-kg1rb]

Oh I forgot that so this is how you don't have the executor and 500 pop arriving over your planet

[@epicstyle1000]

leave a single Starfighter in orbit , a single Starfighter can also use them like probe droids to scout enemy fleets

[@gamerz1172]

Honestly i like holding the 'Hold out' planets because the AI tends to get distracted on them from my experience, its been years since ive last played, so the Thrawns revenge crew could have made that not a thing anymore.

[@frankdowns12]

Hey eck, just an fyi. At the 10 min mark when you start talking about moving your perimeter up by taking Kaal, belsavis and Mustafar simultaneously, you actually only have to take Belsavis! The independent forces (those light green planets) are purely defensive worlds, and do not attack anyone. So actually they serve to create a natural choke point at Bespin because the Empire would have to fight the independent fleets to move in on you, whittling eachother down significantly. Just like in the EU. I've always found it better to put the fleets and troops into taking Belsavis, Eiattu 6 and Vondarc. You still take 3 systems and only have to use those 3 fleets for defense, but you take 3 systems from the EA, instead of wasting forces fighting planets that don't pose any threat, and can actually be used as buffer states.

[@personthing88]

To me I always go for choke points but somehow I always get destroyed because I always forget a choke point or there is too many choke points for me to hold

[@looney5256]

Thanks for this Eckharts. When I play this game everytime i see a point that could potentially attacked, I always leave a fleet there and then if I want to push into enemy territory i send that fleet in. This will help me be able to.be more effective with less units.

Love this videos. Make a series. Also why did it reauploaded

[@captaingoldenyt9109]

Crusade Boi it’s reaupload because he got a copy right strike

[@kai7050]

Also check out the damage list of the weapons. There are so many of them, so consentrate on the highest damage output. For example proton torpedos are the highest at the missile. When you look to the turbolasers, you should know, that there is a increase at damage from light to heavy or from douple to octuple... but also at the same a decrease at speed. Misiles attack slowly, but with a high instant damage. An other point is to understand how ships attack: The shild go down faster than the armored hull,because all fire power is fixed on one hit point. At the hull on the other side there is usually dozen of hit points, depending on the ship type. So there you can use the advantage of many star ships in a fleet: Put one ship after one, during stopping time, and choose a significant aim like hangar, and critical turbolasers (quad or octuple t. ). By doing nothing it can probabbly happen, that many strong ships attack one target at the same time what is not effectiv. Your bombers are better in destroying shilds than in destroying the hull because of their torpedos. A slow but critical attack. Of course you can use them also on the hull, but splitt them on diffrent targets. I hope you can understand my English. Greeting from Germany and have fun with using different tactics.

[@ryandanielable]

Dang I enjoy this game thanks to you guys. I bought it multiple times during my life and always end up with your mod. By the way, one suggestion: Consolidating is good but I wouldn't attack Mustafar early game. The independent planets have big build up fleets, and while you potentially weaken your fleet to take that planet your overall mission to weaken the real enemy (empire, eriadu) is not progressing. By attacking eriadu first, you weaken them and whatever you sacrifice is worth more while slowly moving towards sullust. Additionally Mustafar doesn't attack you, it even buffers eriadu from you. If eriadu attacks and takes Mustafar though, go there immediately and f@#$ up the leftovers. That way you kill whatever is left and get a cheap planet.

[@colbytabor4069]

I feel a good way to learn is trial and error like I thought building big ships and just throwing them at enemies was the strat but then you lose fighter dominance so I need smaller ships to fight the star fighters as well I’m referencing the fall of the republic mod btw I’ve never been too interested in the original trilogy but I can appreciate the strategy

[@fallofmanbrand]

Even after almost 500 hours of EAW play time I don't consider my self to be that good, but it is nice to learn from the person who opened my eyes to EAW in general. Although I said it before and I'm gonna say it again, it kinda makes me (and I'm sure many others) feel smart that I already to a lot of these things.

[@ethancrasher4320]

I do pretty good in space battles because of deployments the only embarrassing thing is I was playing as thrawns revenge and was fighting against an imperial fleet with a hero in it and I was mostly focusing on capturing a ship because I just got it however I probably should have retreated after that cause after that home one suddenly exploded and I wasn’t paying attention to it and now I’ve lost admiral ackbar and lost my main powerhouse

[@danielboatright8887]

Choke points, and if playing a mod with shield penetration (projectile weapons ignore shields likei n the base game) enabled find a bomber to spam in vast numbers, or better yet something like the skipray blastboat which has torps and missiles in many mods, this will allow you to quickly chew thru your enemies and as you expand only 1 unit is needed to hold space above a hostile planet, this can allow you to expand rapidly and massively. Depending on the mod and how it handles research you nay need to also upgrade your chosen spam vessel to maxamize this effect. A perfect example is phoenix rising, at higjer upgrade levels the skipray blastboat and Kwing both have torpedoes, missiles, and a few turreted lasers, this makes them massively powerful because enemy shields have little effect against your main weapons.

[@naturalbornpatriot6369]

I love ground battles. They are 1/3 of the game? Galaxy map, space battle, ground battle. They are especially epic with Fall of the Republic mod. Tweak some numbers in the files, make B1s not cost any population points(it’s not like the AI recruits them much anyways), and you’ve got yourself a whole lot different ground battles. It’s very satisfying to have a fully upgraded defensive structure planet, shield and planetary shield with turbo lasers. Then set up picket lines with your infantry squads near towers and landing zones. I try to always keep at least on air transport on my choke point planets. So to be able to deploy troopers on the capture buildings for free units or credits, and of course to pop down on the landing zones and deny the enemy a foothold. Ground battles are only boring if you have little appreciation for ground tactics.

I wish Cody would make a guide that lets us know which planets are worth building mining stations, and other credit generation buildings

Normally I never sell any structure on isolated planets. I prefer fortifying them to meat grinders for any invasion force fool enough to land. EAW's ground units are generally extremely cheap and easy to replace. With smart ground tactics you basically won't lose a single battle.

[@kelvinlai5265]

same bro, just place turbolasers and you will be all good

[@Albert_C]

@@kelvinlai5265 I prefer production structure as static defenses are more prone to orbital bombardment and the former can provide endless reinforcements(in some mods).

[@winstonlin3458]

This looks like a good game. How do I get it? My Steam is having problems

[@Secret_Moon]

These are just very basic stuffs. Checking planets, heroes and units' abilities and capacities, only advancing into choke points, etc. Any casual player should figure those out by themselves. I figured out most of these strategies after around 6 hours with the game (have only started playing this game for 3 months now). The only new thing I get from the video is abandoning planets and selling buildings there, but that's just because I don't usually abandon any planet, and if someone lose their space battle and expect to lose their planets as well, it's only common sense to sell those buildings. Can't say for other mods out there, but there is one powerful strategy for early game you can use to steamroll AI in Thrawn's Revenge. At the start of any Galactic Conquest, group your ships into 2-3 sizable fleet, one for each enemy faction abjection to your territory. Each should have at least one small and cheap corvette put in the scout spot (thereby making it the first ship entering battle). Then, find some hole in the enemies territories and immediately attack them. Do not be afraid. At the start usually there haven't been strong defense platforms like Golan III or Visvia in the orbits of planets yet. The only thing they have is usually just the space stations, which your fleet with 2-3 capital ships (usually your heroes) can easily decimate. Then, after winning, DO NOT wait there to invade the planet, but simply move on to attack another one. The purpose is not to take control of the planets, but to destroy all the space stations the enemy can use to build ship. If you run into a sizable fleet of the enemy that you can't expect to win without losing a valuable capital ships, then simply turn around and retreat, find another planet to attack, then circle around to attack that planet later when the enemy fleet has moved away (and they do move!). At worst, like if you get caught between Raid Fleet and the enemy and can't retreat, the worst you'd lose is a small corvette. With this active strategy, you can decimate nearly the entire space station system in the enemies' territories without even losing one ship, forcing them to spend time and money to rebuild the stations. Then, you can repeat this strategy again, and cheese the AI dry of money while preventing them the ability to build new ships.

[@quetimporta7731]

Pro tip for Republic at War: whenever you play as the Republic, build light factories and spam the floating tanks and, when you get invaded, rush them all to the enemy deploy zone and then send in some clones and capture the point after destroying the CSI, it's reslly easy and cheap to do!

I would try the base game first. Most mods are more difficult, and the mechanics they add can be less intuitive if you haven't already played the base game. I would do one or two before moving on to mods. Think of it as extending the tutorial. Though if you want to dive in or play different eras, you'd be able to catch up to speed pretty fast.

"probably not going to rampage through your territory like a human player would" I had a campaign in FotR that I had just started and withing the first 10 cycles I had already basically lost because the ai somehow had one or two 800 population fleets and was nonstop invading all my planets with them before I even unlocked venators

I just downloaded EaW but I can't get any mods working. On steam I subscribed, downloaded and everything but the mods don't show up in the mods in-game and I tried the launch option thing too and nothing works, help pls

[@brianoconnell3143]

Try opening it from the steam launcher. Don't use the desktop shortcut. I was stuck like you but added the launcher bit of code and then opened from my steam library and it worked.

[@silverrain530]

Also make sure to use the forces if corruption option. I did the base game at first and was confused why the mods weren't in the options menu

[@theinquisitor2792]

@@silverrain530 i figured it out, thanks bud the mods are awesome. Played an 80 hour campaign after this comment as the republic on Fall of the Republic mod. Realized I couldn't bring myself to execute order 66

[@silverrain530]

@@theinquisitor2792 OK, I guessed you would have with it being a year old comment but it would suck if not. Haven't gotten to Fall of the Republic yet but Thrawns revenge and rise of the mandalorians are really fun!

[@joshuatabor8755]

why does yours look so different than mine?

[@tevlargaming5440]

One of the best things I ever learned was abandoning territory that cannot be held.

Mod?

why reupload?

What I thought was funny was I had a acalmator I don’t really know how to spell it and a few fighters and bombers and I destroyed Luke Akbar and some fleet commander

[@gregoriusegi7477]

so i played empire in thrawn's revenge and got beat so hard by maldrood and pentastar on recruit

[@i-maxwalker3401]

Wait did they made a remastered empire at war!? I played this game as a child, 20 years ago

[@kelvinlai5265]

lol dont lie the game is not that old

[@InconceivableSandwichChannel]

The one thing I do not like about Fall of Republic. That population, food, and production buildings confuse me.

[@almightydictator]

Boarding shuttles broken? How?

[@rominkivela9351]

No views 1 comment! Good to see this system is still broke. Wouldn't be KZbin without it Edit: may have missed something, but do you have any tips on dealing with SSDs? I've been playing Thrawn's Revenge and have been repeatedly been steam rolled by Zsin early on. Would be nice to be able to deal with him without being forced to retreat and open a new front to get around him

[@BeregondFirstCaptain]

Have an ssd yourself lol or have some throw away ships and jump in behind him but for some reason his sheilds tske forever.. I was hitting him from behind with icehard and he had a few guns on me and melted her shields and his took forever to go down

[@IXIammerlock]

SSDs are op in current version. As Nr spam home ones at him, as anyone else, get ships like carracks with ions, keep them in the back line melting his shield, while isd 1 or 2s hold the front line. Tac hyperspace is important so keep some space open to drop in more ships.

Lol I got attacked by 9 home 1s but I threw my best fleet at it and one by using your divide tactic
