Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Re: What If There Was an Edit Mode In SW FoC That Lets You Customize GC's?

It looks very promising! I have already tried to create my own galactic campaigns, it was nice. Between this and the new era system, I should finally be able to play a scenario with Daala less frustrating than Resurrection and its twelve planets!

I agree. The fact that IWC focuses on the +4/+19 period is entirely appropriate for me. Perhaps there will one day be a full derivative mod on the New Jedi Order, incorporating all the game mechanics developed here? Let's hope so!

I was mostly thinking about the war reparations and forced disarmament that caused bad feelings between the countries.

Yes, it caused a lot of resentment...

It's really a very interesting time to study. On one side we have the worst warmongers, and on the other, pacifists and utopians like Coudenhove-Kalergi. France has its share of responsibility in trying to impose very difficult conditions on Germany... Even if, at the time, they were considered as measured against the trauma caused by the WW1.

In fact Germany was not doing too badly even after the WW1. Most of the fighting took place on French soil, the devastation took place there (I live in these areas, I can testify that the craters of the shells are still visible in some forests). The damage was mostly human (the soldiers killed), financial (the war debt - which has never been paid until the end) and military, with disarmament. And there was the issue of amputations of territory, which certainly was problematic.

But I think World War II would never have happened if the crisis of 1929 had not destroyed the German economy, dragging the entire society in its wake.

WW1 and WW2 can not really be compared. The first is a war of empires, nations and peoples, a war finally classic that is distinguished only by its death toll and its global scale. The second is a war between ideologies: fascisms against an alliance between democracies and communists (which then exploded during the Cold War).

The central empires capitulated in 1918 and then exploded, with the peace treaties imposed on them, both on the basis of self-determination (led by Woodrow Wilson) and the desire to revenge of the Entente, especially the French led by Clemenceau. While in 1945, they were crushed, reduced to ruins. Italy first (although it was limited, because of the revolt that drove Mussolini into the north of the country), and especially Germany. In 1918 the Entente had only crossed the border. In 1945, Berlin was devastated, like the rest of the country, everything was even more violent.

Oh I see personally I liked the split units because i made a unit more versatile like i could send a single soldier to capture while the rest fought on the front line
It can be an advantage... When we do not have to defend a planet with the Greater Malrood and its two poor soldiers by barracks! :D

Yes, it was a question of men first and foremost. The Japanese did not h ave the manpower to carry out their offensive strategy - very costly with the "zero captive" policy. And there, the Japanese, with their policy of conquest that alienated all other Asian populations, could not compete for a moment with the Americans.

That is another war, the Cold War, who dictated it. And they're still denying a good number of war crimes in the way.
That's right. Partly because there have been no Nuremberg trials in the Pacific, no more than regime change...

In my opinion, Pearl Harbor was a psychological attack and on this aspect it was a success.
Interesting point of view.

I propose another: the Japanese won the war. They turned their defeat, after two atomic bombs, into a fruitful partnership with the United States. In this region, those who have really lost are the Koreans, subjected to the same partition as Germany... While they were the invadeds and not the invaders.

For instance, their planes were pretty much outdated by 1944-45, and the United States was blasting them out of the sky.
I disagree. The Zero Fighter was was very manoeuvrable, and the Nakajima Ki-84 competed with his American counterparts.

Japan is an isle, with few minerals and a lot less population than the United States. Pearl Harbor was for them the beginning of the end. Their eyes were bigger than the belly, like the Nazis with the USSR.

Yeah, that was really fun. I was happy to have read Rabelais. :D

Really interesting depiction. Is the part on his life after the Vong War your own creation or an extrapolation? I do not remember he was mentioned in Legacy of the Force or Fate of the Jedi, but I read it in French and we have often had truncated translations.

I might be interested in this translation. I already worked with TextEdit when I tried to translate another mod, it was a long time to do but not too complicated. How many entries are there in the file? Are there also voices to be realized?

Odd, typically I countered their fighters with Gladiators and Arquitens (not sure I spelled that right) which seemed to do well. In Era 2 I think you get access to the Patrol Craft (the small pirate one) and the things in groups of four absolutely shred incoming fighters.

Personally I use the Crusader Corvette buildable with the Asteroid Base (Thanks Leonia Tavira !). That's a powerful anti-fighter ship I think. And if I can't assemble them, Secutors are definitively the best fighter-carriers ever. :D

It looks like a great feature. :)
It reminds me of the last mission of FoC's campaign ... A great moment! Having ISD with New Republic's color will be a pleasure too! ^^
Will they be entitled with the logo on the flanks like Lusankya?

A Arrow-class SD named Knight's Blade, looking like this one:


I love this design, one of the best of the OldRep era!

And if we limit to the post-Episode VI era, a Bellator-class called Gatherer. With TIE Defenders in support. No dawn for Rebel scum... :D

Not sure that E-Webs correspond to the military philosophy of the New Republic. It seems too much ... "Impersonal" I think.

Look forward to testing this mod anyway. :)
