Actually working on making the reverse happen. I.E you fight through his armada then he spawns against you.Ok, I like that actually.
I also intend to add in Grunger, Pitta and Tigellinus into that sub mod I mentioned. Grunger and Pitta will be part of the Warlords sub group above Gargon and Corellia respectively, each will have a large amount of space forces but few ground forces. Tigellinus will have his ISD and grant similar bonuses as Takel and Makati(but in my sub mod those will stack) Grunger will have the SSD Aggressor and Pitta will have a modified and larger Torpedo sphere that does much more damage. So with this you don't get Batch but you will getI was going to do a similar thing in a sub mod I'm planning, adding Pitta and Grunger as NPC Warlords. Though, I'm also working on implementing a "What-If" GC where the NR as to defeat the IR under the control of the remaining Grand Admirals. A more refined and stable execution than what was done in the More Sub-mod for the Demo.
Grant(PA)Thrawn(IR,EotH)Syn(GM)Makati,Takel,Tigellinus(IR)Grunger,Pitta(Warlords) that is eight out of the thirteen Grand Admirals. I am working with my fellow submodders to make each Grand Admiral have benefits that are unique to their command style and personalities.
While I'm giving the new canon a chance, a lot of it is really just massive plot holes, like the First Order forming from the weak remnants of the Empire, somehow finding enough resources and power to conquer the entire galaxy in a couple weeks and build a super death star that destroys the entire republic fleet of 12 ships and insta-kills any form of protection the galaxy had except for the 4 ship powerful resistance, which then got blown up, so now the fate of the galaxy relies on 12 guys in the falcon.I can accept how they got their soldiers, which involved giving kidnapped children a more luxurious life as a imperial soldier as opposed to remaining poor on whatever backwater planet they use to live on. The rest was brainwashing them into believing that the New Republic was an evil organization. Supposedly Starkiller base started construction as an Imperial project before the Frist Order took over. However, where they got over 30 RSD’s from, plus however many Mandator IV’s will probably never be a good explanation. They ether built them on Snoke’s ship, built them on a shipyard they either found or made themselves, or outsourced them, and each of those ideas sounds more preposterous than the last. That being said though, I think Snoke’s ship might have been a creation of his own, before he found the IR, which I would be ok with if we ever find out more about Snoke himself, because supposedly, the Supremacy was the FO’s capital.
I'm sure 'the allies scattered in the outer rim' are really op though too.
Current Canon is pretty trash at the moment to be honest, excluding Rogue One and imo Kylo Ren. Everything else is really just poo in the loo to me, especially the stuff post endor pre episode 7.
I think we really don't need ZC. I prefer more new factions withnout ISDs.Maybe as a catch to not immediately side with Isard in Era 1 GC’s, you can buy either Dominion and Megador for less from Harrsk’s location before he defects. (No need for this to exist in Era 3 since the player can already buy Sovereigns and has the Eclipse.)
Blitzer Harrsk is also hero in Imperial Remnant in ERA 1 and 3, ever Dominion and Megador will be in IR. Maybe if you have Harrsk, IR can have access to some unique ZC's stuff simitary as Maldrood with Leonia Tavira.
More generally, with the faction limit Jorrit discovered, which presumably isn't a side effect of something else, we basically planned out what our theoretical full roster of factions would be, given unlimited resources. Right now Zero Command is still there, but given one extra option, Zero Command would be the one most likely to be bumped off and put into the 'Warlord' faction, and therefore not playable. We already have so many Imperial-based factions that trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel for enough content to make Zero Command worthwhile really isn't gonna get us much mileage, especially when that content, in terms of ship classes if not heroes, could be used to diversify the other Warlords more.I agree with you on that, and my thoughts on the matter are still the same as my first post. The thought process here being, if the decision was ever made to make them playable, there would be a thread already existing with some ideas to use as a potential foundation to build of off.
I think they "hide" in the unknown regions and build there fleet there and so they reorganized into the first order. Snoke maybe was found by the remannts in the unknown regions and join them because at this time they maybe dont had an leader and how kylo joint them... i dont knowMost of what was left of the Empire that entered the Unknown Regions were fanatics and sociopaths. It wouldn't surprise me if Hux Senior established a Coup against Rae because she wasn't as... "devoted" to the Imperial cause as they were.
Corey mention before the orginial plan was to Zero Command, but this change, because people requested Eradiu instead.Right as you may be about ZC being a more relevant force post Era 1, if they are to become playable at some point, they'd most likely be playable in one of the Era progressive GC's like Empire's at War. If such shall be the case, then Zero Command will need a lot of work done regarding their status in Era 1. Once that is done, their roster and territory in Era's 2 and 3 will become much easier to work on as it is near identical to what it'll be in Era 4.
I also spoke to Corey and he said the EA will not be playable in 2.2 reunification. The reason is because they only control 1-3 planets, where as Maldrood control still a good chunk of territory after Shadow Hand. Zero Command honestly becomes more relevant during the post Era 2 time. During Era 2, Harsk, Kosh Teradoc, and Delvardus were fighting for control of the deep core instead of helping Thrawn (which could possibly be a fun mini gc for a submod.) Zero Command is more relevant in the Carnor Jax/ post death of Oldman Palps time. They expanded and tried to secure more resources until era 4 where they rivial Greater Maldrood.
Ummm in Legends he was kicked out of the Navy for defending Chewie against an Imperial officerMy bad, ex-imperial I guess.
ah, sorry for the misunderstanding then. I get it like this.Thats kind of how I treated the 3d show as well. I thought giving pre-Vader Anakin a padawan was kind of a "jumping the shark moment", but Ashoka's execution ended up being pretty good all things considered. Nothing will ever touch what Genndy T. put out in 2003 though, that little show was so well directed and animated.
Language barriers. XD
I admit it though that I liked the Clone Wars cartoons as well(both 2d and 3d). The 2d was something I watched as a kid, so it had that going for it next to a solid story and characters. I felt grievous was his best there.
I haven't watched TCW until recently, but I kinda liked it. Granted I went into it by kniowing that it didn't really care about much established lore before it, so I kinda took the whole thing to an experimental level and considered it an alt-star wars universe.
You know, like what if russia never went communist and such.
In this what if Anakin got a Padawan, and this makes it absolutely enjoyable.
One thing here If I can have a saying, and this is for something a bit back.I DON'T think that a show has to be dummed down and have lots of explosions because it is a kids show.Oh don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you, but I was trying to give Taupin a reasonable explanation for why the show seemed so simple, at least, from his perspective. My favorite show that's on right now is Steven Universe, well, "on" is kind of pushing it... whatever, that show has some very complex themes to it. CN isn't like the Disney channel, funnily enough, (cause we're talking about Star Wars,) cartoons that follow a consistent timeline or a bigger picture just seem to suffer under Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, they don't air reruns of shows like that because they think the people watching it would be confused if they haven't watched the whole series, hence why the easy cash cows like TTG and Spongebob are the only thing that ever seems to air on either channel now and days and why you'll be pressed to find airings of Adventure Time or Steven Universe on CN. (Granted, even older episodes of Spongebob still have clever enough writing in them for adults to enjoy.) I think this was something that the production team was aware of and is why the first few seasons of TCW had such simple and safe content.
Kids are not dumb, they are inexperienced, and I actually think that a cartoon that is fun, but have a deeper side is actually great. Just look at Gravity Falls for example.
My little sister got me into GF and I had a blast from it, and I loved to discuss the things behind it with both my sis and my friends whom I got into watching the show.
And that's why I started talking about philosophy and analysis with my sister who was about nothing but girly stuff before. Never underestimate the power of a well written cartoon that doesn't treat it's fans as dumb, but as intelligent.
Compare the Original Movies, the Prequel Movies, the cartoon CW and the animated TCW. The former three can be watched by child and yet the adult can found something for them in it. Each screen of Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars had strenght, not just filler to go up to 20 min.-What constitutes as filler to you? I can argue that both cartoons are entirely filler because neither advances the bigger picture set up by episode 2 and pays of in episode 3.
Are you kidding ?
Big picture with battle of no more than 50 participants, Ashoka seeking her lightsaber, Gungan diplomacy, zombies, Godzilla-like, Obi-Wan faking his death or Dooku and ANakin tied together by a band of pirates ?
Mandalorian pacifists is no fan service, it's fan insult... And so on with Vos, Ventress, Barriss, Aura Sing, the Night sisters,...
Sure if we live in a world where you need a movie every year (even if the quality suffers from that) to people have interest in something
Ahah I noticed I got a -2 today for telling my view of TCW, I feel some get butthurt by a reality check on it
...which didn’t treat the audience like children, instead using a sophisticated array of cinematic technique to convey complex themes without being blatant.I don't understand your angle here at all.
Not for 2.2, but planet texture updates will definitely be a thing for FotR and 2.3Cool,
New patch just released for the New Jedi Order Compilation mod, with fixes, balance changes and new GC events: http://www.moddb.com/mods/new-jedi-order-compilation/downloads/25-aby-pack-patch-1Serious props for getting this patch out so soon, it helped out a bunch.
Thanks again to all who contacted me with bugs and issues.
Ya, like many have pointed out, the Vong simply don't work with most basic strategic game mechanics. Especially FoC's engine tbh.Yes, the Vong don't translate well into FOC, they'd be too overpowered if translated over with canon in mind. Also, other than some funky looking units, they wouldn't stand out that much from everyone else due to the limitations of the games mechanics, which would be the primary reason to have them in the first place, to have something totally different.
