Star Wars: Empire At War, but I'm at war with everyone

[@The-Hatrat]

I'm just imagining that Dave's on the brink of defeat, he's about to surrender, and then he hears the news that rooster declared war on everyone else for no reason and is now fighting a five way war.

Uhhhhh..... Works for me I guess! - Dave

[@collectiusindefinitus6935]

Dave wouldn’t ever consider surrender. He saw Rooster defected to the rebel alliance and immediately somehow fought his way to the top of imperial command just so he can keep fighting him.

Holy molly massive plot developments in this episode! You sure have stirred up the hornets nest, and the bees nest, and the ants nest, and the…… you get it admiral, you’re in the thick of it now, tips and tricks here as usual: Attacking any neutral faction will “wake them up”, by that I mean ai will be active and charging out to attack any target it thinks it can win, which usually means your poor little space station 1s next to their border. Hutts, CSA, Hapes, and black sun all have their crazy abilities and units, so this time my tips will be heavily focused on how to handle these specific factions The CSA is really just a miniature empire, they have a tendency to amass bomber and cruiser swarms because the ai has been sitting there forever and their compulsive purchasing behaviour is worse than my ex, so expect them to have a big fleet with Venators and potentially Tagge battlecruisers, the usual heavy firepower at the front type of frontline. Trick is just the usual, send bombers to blow up their shields and kill their fighters and sweep in to attack the vulnerable big targets, and don’t forget to target their support ships, the ai tends to store up a lot of them The Hapans could be one of the easiest or the absolute worst opponents you face, and it’s completely dependent on your fleet composition. Hape ships are heavy ion focused, a proper late game fleet with a battle dragon or two will rip apart even the best capital ship shield in a few seconds, that being said their actual killing power isn’t that strong, and the rebels do have a few ships with extra thick hull…… send in your assault cruisers and dreadnoughts and have them tank the hits and do some big damage, hapan ships rely on their shields and big guns but without that they’re easy targets. They will likely have a fighter swarm or two so don’t rush in all Willy nilly, pack a few extra carriers or better yet rouge squadron and some U-wings / bulk cruisers so they can get a resupply in the massive dogfight that’s bound to happen, their fighters and bombers are nothing quality wise but as a very bad Georgian once said quantity has a quality of its own, and the hapan ships have some pretty big hangers…… Hutts are strangely enough one of the scariest opponents to fight as the rebels, because a good chunk of your ion cannons won’t do that much against them, because Hutt ships don’t have shields. Of course they do hire some pirate vessels with shields so don’t completely neglect your ion ships, but their mainline cruisers and battleships look similar to the massive luxury ships seen in episode 6, minus the sand and hot leia. Despite the lack of shields, do NOT underestimate them, they pack every missile and heavy gun they could find and throw them all at you, kitchen sink included. Goods news is the good old nebulan-B is a hard counter, bad news is you gotta read to find out which one is the missile boat of death and which is the turbo laser show. You also need to watch out for the dogfights, hutt fighters are mainly criminal / pirate fighters but their pickets are as strong as your CR-90s, and the ai has a lot of pickets, don’t charge your fighter heroes straight in or you’ll be in for a rescue mission. The black sun isn’t a minor faction, if anything you’re lucky in this run you and Dave has stomped them hard enough early game to stop them from snowballing out of control, because the black sun have some of the most unique and broken units in the game. Mandalorians are a very strong race, their big ships and ground troops are firepower oriented and you preferably don’t want to fight them head on. Mando bounty hunters and squads all have missiles and flamethrowers, also known as hot knife through any infantry you may have, a hard counter to the rebels, DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE. Their missiles aren’t that great and take some time to charge so make sure they only live long enough to fire one volley, otherwise your light armour might also be in danger. Their biggest strength are their jet packs, so they can pretty much ignore terrain while fighting as an infantry squad, a unique and super busted squad at that, thankfully the ai is quite bad at this but this game’s terrain physics are just as janky as its spaceship navigation systems, so be ready with some heavy guns. Good news is mandalorians are a bit too prideful and can’t take cover, I’m not kidding, they just can’t. Their beskar armour is thankfully not modelled into the game so feel free to open fire with every machine gun you have to mow those helmeted bastards down, some heroes (like Luke) have some good infantry killing abilities which can be used to great effect, they are always a priority target Black sun fleets are…… weird…… I can’t rightly give you tips because their composition really depends on what systems they have left and what tech path they’ve gone down (yes tech path you heard me right). They could be rocking up with old CIS ships with death donuts, collaborating with the Hutts to get their ships, or being a mandalorian empire in all but name, so I have absolutely no clue what you will be up against. The usual ships are the classic pirate frigates and fighters, you can melt them easy, but their defensive stations are crazy strong and their boom boom = good approach to war is terrifying. If you ever fight Tyber Zann, focus that bastard down with all firepower, he’s basically the crime Lord version of palpatine. If its IG-88 watch out for chemical weaponry and the resurgence of the droid army, maybe Rex would be happy to fight some Clankers again but I sure as hell ain’t. The black sun is as versatile as it is crazy unpredictable, wipe them out, there will be no crime in your new empir- I mean republic…… Great episode as always, I’d say I want more but editing videos is hard work so don’t push yourself, remember to keep having fun, because that’s always the true victory

[@tylertomlin3911]

You can see that Dave has been completely pushed into the north/ north west. It would be cool to see him receive tonnes of fleets etc/ maybe if it can be modded in. Have multiple Dave ai’s. This could be cool to recreate the ‘warlord era’

[@LouisChickenLazagna]

Invest heavily on ground units. Also, take Ilum back.

[@AndreEckert]

That's cool 👍

You need help Admiral?

[@AndreEckert]

Can you make me a ground Commander for the Venator Fleet plz?

[@nicolacallaghan9754]

So dose every fraction in this video fight each other as well or is it just you?

[@georgiosk.5601]

yes, it is a ffa

[@kacpermarcinkowski8488]

i have question if anybody knows how can i enter the space battle with one ship and the rest in reinforcements ?

[@Vegito_Fanpage]

There's a slot in the top left of your fleet surrounded by a yellow square. Put whatever unit you want, though preferably something no bigger than a frigate, and when you send it in it'll come in first. The reinforcements button is along the same line as the "retreat" and "Fire planetary cannon" buttons. Oh, and they reset when you load a save so don't forget to replace them everytime you load in.
