Two hours left on the upload for the installer.

Post by: grunt11 on August 25, 2012, 08:01:51 PM

Just curious, is the mod going to be available for download today? Not trying to be impatient or anything but I'm trying to decide whether to go grocery shopping or to wait to download 2.0 lol, but thanks for all of your hard work!

Title: Re: [Pending] Release Post: Imperial Civil War 2.0
Post by: Corey on August 25, 2012, 08:08:04 PM

Please go grocery shopping, food's important. And we don't wanna be one of those games that ends up on the news because somebody died playing/waiting to play it.

Either way it'll still be at least a couple more hours. The upload's almost finished (still half an hour left there), but then it's about an hour to do a server transfer, and then either a few hours or a few days to get approved.

Title: Re: [Pending] Release Post: Imperial Civil War 2.0
Post by: JC123 on August 25, 2012, 08:24:23 PM

Grocery shopping or hitting F5...  Yeah, nobody pass up food!    ;D

Seriously though, eat.  Could be a few days!

That could be good publicity...just sayin'

Oh ok I didn't know that it had to be approved and all that... back from grocery shopping and now to start hitting F5 over and over again! hahaha

But I did want to say thanks for all of this again, I've been playing the mod since 1.2 but never posted in the forum and this is such a great mod that I just had to register just to say thank you.

Upload, server transfer and documentation are all done for the installer. Now it's just awaiting authorization. The .zip version will be coming soon^TM.

Signed up just to express my excitement.  Was really enjoying 1.3, but this looks like it'll be even better!

PA still cannot build AT-AT's or AT-AA's in Era 1 in "The Stars Align" GC.

Title: Re: Imperial Civil War 2.0 Released
Post by: Corey on August 26, 2012, 06:40:47 PM

Coulda swore I fixed that a week ago but whatever. I'm taking a few days off of ICW (except general tech support) to just go not drive myself insane and work on Ascendancy, then we'll try to get out a patch to fix anything that comes up.

Title: Re: Imperial Civil War 2.0 Released
Post by: tlmiller on August 26, 2012, 09:11:50 PM

Well, the AT-AA I'm willing to bet is that it has <affiliation>underworld</affiliation> not pentastar.  AT-AT not sure, since it shows tech level 1.

Title: Re: Imperial Civil War 2.0 Released
Post by: Rissien on August 26, 2012, 09:29:25 PM

Man those raid fleets can sure come in handy. Commenor under attack by multiple ISD II's *yeah im a NR player* against my garrison fleet that started there, Suddenly a Penestar fleet jumps in behind them and just wipes the floor with them giving me a victory because the IR ai retreated.

EDIT: This is Essence of War btw. So I sent Ackbar and a couple dreadnaughts over there for support as my primary fleet with only three MC80b's were about to attack Corellia and Isaard shows up. I kicked her ass, not 30 seconds later Thrawn gets killed bumping me to Era 3.

Lucky you. I was fighting some republic forces when a star destroyer with a few other ships comes out of nowhere and starts wrecking my ships. I had no choice but to tuck tail and run...  :'( And I was close to winning too.

To quote Thrawn, "All endpoints should be prepared for."

Title: Re: Imperial Civil War 2.0 Released
Post by: Thuellai on August 27, 2012, 11:51:27 AM

Luckily, my general strategy is to swing my capital ships wide while using my fighter screen to entangle the enemy until I can blind-side them...  which means I'm generally out of the line of fire [aside from my fighters] when raiders show up.  Only had a couple raids happen so far, and the largest I've seen had an MC40 in it.

Title: Re: Imperial Civil War 2.0 Released
Post by: tlmiller on August 27, 2012, 12:32:05 PM

I had a raid fleet yesterday that had an ISD-II, and 3 Victories.  Almost destroyed my Munificent that was my initial starting unit, but they just drove forward and eventually got out of range, so I just watched them and once they were just about destroyed jumped in the rest of my fleet to deal with mop-up duty.

Post by: Lord Xizer on August 27, 2012, 01:06:01 PM

Most traumatizing raid for me was in the Thrawn Campaign(since there were only 2 factions I was REALLY caught off guard by a 3rd party) 3 PA ISDs a Venerater and Muunificent dropped in right on top of Thrawn, my two Interdictors and two Dreadnaughts while my main battle fleet was engaging the NR forces on the other side of the map.

I'll give you three guesses how THAT turned out.

Great news! Sorry I've been gone for the past couple of weeks, I partially blame you guys for introducing me to Sins of a Solar Empire :p. School hasn't helped, either.

With the number of people we've seen saying either that we convinced them to get Sins or that they're buying it for Ascendancy, Stardock owes us a commission.
