Intercepted Republic Transmission: Sir… you’re not going to believe this… the Pride… its fleet… it’s gone sir… it’s all gone… Over the past few weeks Grievous has been launching attacks and raids on our fleet. Thinking back, it was likely probing strikes. Then, he committed to the battle by sending a Lucrehulk Carrier and his own Providence, the Invisible Hand. The battle looked to be going our way, then we realized too late that Grievous’ Providence escaped. General Windu demanded we get sight on that ship at once. when suddenly we were under assault from our rear. Right as the first donut exploded, another one appeared with three Providence class and several smaller frigates ganged up from behind. They destroyed the support fleet and the Pride fell shortly after. General Windu perished trying to evacuate staff from the Pride. I’m now in an escape pod with 2 other survivors… we request rescue as soon as possible…

[@crabroll1681]

Very well written man

[@jonumine6250]

Shack: mentions all the losses the enemy has at the end... forgets to even mention that Mace Windu is KO as well. Vengeance for that guy wiping out one of your planet's forces.

>Shak failing to realize that if that was a support Pelta it would've dropped a mine at the start of the battle as the AI are known to do and throwing his bombers at an escort gunboat.

[@jonumine6250]

It seems they don't wait to throw the mine out, which is a great giveaway.

[@nightmare4456]

It was painful watching him struggle to get that pelta when he didn't even need to destroy it.

[@bluestorm3628]

Going for an offensive push towards Kuat drive yards sounds like a good idea, it should help limit Venitor and other capital ship construction giving you more time to build up your forces. Though it should be said that taking the two planets you just cleared that massive fleet from should be your first objective, while you build up your fleet again for the Kuat Drive Yard Offensive.

[@ZeroTyreal]

Every time I see a new episode of empire at war pop-up in my feed I get all giddy and happy there is more star wars to watch again. Thanks shack!

[@Marinealver]

Shack talks so much about maneuvering, but when it comes down he just places his ships and talks all while the ships are staying still like a sitting duck.

Now that you have Dreadnought Shipyards you should be able to start upgrading Grevious’s ship to higher tiers. Similar to how you can do it with Republic officers It’ll give you a advantage if the Republic decides to build more Mandators

[@TempestsFist]

Shack pulling an Uno reverse is the first battle and using fighters against antifighter ships has got to be one of the most unique tactical moves I've ever seen pulled EaW.

[@kadenstimpson3167]

Despite attempts by the developer to curb the issue, starfighters are still insanely powerful in this mod. The only real counter for Fighters is other Fighters and interceptors. The smaller corvettes are still useful as they can shoot down Missiles

[@Fallub]

That is still a great series. I enjoy every episode. Thank you.

Loved this episode. It feels like we’ve properly moved from ‘starting up’ to ‘prosecuting the conflict’ now. The real fun starts here.

[@jaykeferguson8423]

what a battle to finish off the vid, could of gone either way numerous times. Epic

[@jeffpierce6663]

You should have called the episode, “Chasin down the Republic Flagship.”

[@asthyz3004]

There is an addon that allows missiles to penetrate shields, thus encouraging more point defence positioning and key targeting with bombers… helps against Lucrehulks and Venators ish except when the opposing side do the reverse to you with their fighter heavy ship XD. Increases the fun and means shields a great turbo laser defence but not missiles. Thought I would recommend, does mean gotta be bit more aware of your units and the enemies, looking out for bombers and positioning point defence where needed. Also allows sneaky breeki bombing runs from behind or where enemy point defence doesn’t cover.

[@adamorick2872]

Just imagine the damage a super star destroyer would do entering atmosphere after being destroyed

[@Pyxis10]

They are around the size of the dinosaur killing asteroid, with a bunch of reactors. So yeah it would be really really bad.

[@Rahul-m6g6s]

Some intel: the smaller the target, the worse your bombers will do against them. Bomber damage and accuracy are extremely inefficient against corvettes, but as you get up to capital ships and supercapitals, they'll be significantly more effective. (Also, lower Command Tier is better-Tier I is the best, Tier V is the worst.)

[@kooptales]

No intro?

[@davesobani9565]

Love the fact that a smal modern ship like the diamond can counter the massive ancient republic invincible

[@deandoshen8841]

Shack their are two, types of peltas. Regular and support support does the mines. The regular heals fighters unless it was changed in the new update

[@evanhenderson1760]

No that was never true, the support variant heals ships and fighters, the regular variant always had no healing capabilities but were armed with a heavier weapons loadout

[@kR-qj7rw]

nope the regular one is a combat ship that will shit on things larger than it when massed the support heals both people jsut dont read the ability, the click ablity heals the fighter clouds but it can and will heal bigger ships

[@zumabar9060]

Nice video, but why isn't there an intro?

[@BRBricks_Ben]

Hey Shak, been watching the channel for awhile now and your empire at war vids really got me thru a bad time. Thanks for all the great content . Also i finally got a set up to run fall of the republic so thanks for turning me on to that! In a hilariously executed series of misclicks I managed to loose kenobi, Rex and a praetor in one week. Here’s to the next campaign 😅

[@stormlordrising7826]

If you're gunning for Kuat, you could go through Humarine instead. Fewer planets go through as it's right next to Cato Nemodia.

[@jaywerner8415]

Pretty sure the Nebulas in FOTR are just set dressing. Far as i know they don't do anything but look pretty. Also Shack if you see a PELTA with LIGHT TRIPLE TURBOLAZERS its not the Repair ship, its the gunship. The repair ship only have their laser cannons and point defense if i recall. Edit: the Venators torpedo tubes are on its Wings.

[@billwilson1943]

I would highly recommend installing the 300 unit pop cap mod for fall of the republic, it's what they use in thrawns revenge. 200 is just too small for the clone wars the battles feel less dramatic

[@mr.rogropher1642]

36:37 you like that westworld? that's the thing about smart guys (captain shak) they always cover there ass.

[@axer333]

Did I read that right? The republic can upgrade those big guys now? How is the AI at upgrading their fleet? If it can then next time the cap sees one of those things it might be scarier

[@Gaster_021]

Congratulations on defeating the capital ship and Jedi. Many great droids died for this victory, let this be a reminder that quality, quantity, and superior tactics achieve victory.

[@isaacdestura7495]

By the way, its probably worth it to take the planets beside your dreadnaught shipyard, so the republic cant stop you from making reinforcments

So that explain why i havent seen many of these FotR Episodes in about a week or so. There was actually a hurricane somewhere near the state i live in but thankfully i didnt hit us

[@keetonmitchell4669]

In regards to the FFG Star Wars rpg, the reason plotting a hyperspace course is only one check is partially because rounds are very variable in time. The game doesn't follow the traditional 6 second ideology of many other RPGs, and instead puts it on the narrative to decide how long an action in a round requires (within reason). It may be one roll, but it may mean a couple minutes are passing, and the difficulty of the check is not something to be ignored. Threat generated should also not be ignored, as success may mean they have a route, but threat means it's not the route they would have wanted, and/or they will be tracked easily. A ship in combat will also find their checks more difficult to accomplish, as well as other factors such as terrain. If you want the one check to be more important, have the ship need to fly to a specific destination first (aka, get a certain number for range bands away from the planet) to represent heading to the nearest hyperspace lane, or getting out of the gravity well. Multiple checks (this being my opinion, so others may disagree on this), doesn't really speak to me as meaning a calculation takes more time, it means a person is re-entering the variables and restarting the calculations or trying to enter them manually. The computer is doing the calculations and is what takes time, the navigator gives the computer the variables to calculate the course. A navigator giving good variables makes the calculations less complex for the computer, while poor variables may give back an error the computer can't compute.

[@CaptainShack]

While I get what your saying. Its repeated many times in the books. Having a consistent set of variables for the players means they have the tools to know the risks when they arrive into for example a combat situation. Knowing it will take, 1 round for the computer to warm up, 1 successful role to calculate the route and one to determine the hyperspace arrival point means they can use that to there advantage. Over the years this means the players can gauge risk of engaging the enemy or fleeing far better when they know how long they could be stuck in. Pending positive rolls :D I figure my table is a strange one. We've home ruled much of FFG over the last 3 years to fit our play style.

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Let the hunt begin

[@kR-qj7rw]

hey shack single unit retreat for ships with fighters need to wait till they re called back this is to prevent jumping infinite carriers spawning fighters and leave risking no actual ships

[@TheFlyWahine]

You just need to take out the engines after that the ships a gonner based on the rules. So you dont really need to fight it, just take out the engines of the ships you want dead the most.

I know this will sound like a bad idea but I’m actually curious could you win a space battle with just fighters embalmers alone no forget it no cruisers nothing just fighters embalmers alone

[@therealgalacticfoxy2160]

Bombers

[@nightmare4456]

You can just jump a corvette in one corner and wait for the enemy fleet to chase it then you spam carriers on the opposite side of the map and take out all the engines that way you just get to sit there and let your fighters tare them apart without risking any real ships.
