I am curious about what's the community's most favorite factions from the mod.
I let everyone (including guests) to vote for 2 of them in case of a draw between 2 fractions or if you support both very much.
Well, who's your favorite?
-
Faction, not fraction. The NR and PA are my picks, and seem to be the favorites thus far. :)
-
Thanks for the info. fixed it already :D
-
The Pentastar Alignment and Warlords. They were the ones I fought hardest to have included and expanded over the years. Honourable mention to the Dushkan League as I love their Thrustships.
-
from the current standing of things:
Duskhan League 0 (0%)
Empire of the Hand 5 (20.8%)
Hapes Consortium 0 (0%)
Imperial Remnants 1 (4.2%)
Imperial Warlords(collective) 1 (4.2%)
New Republic 7 (29.2%)
Pentastar Alignment 9 (37.5%)
Zsinj's Empire (the Hunt for Zsinj and into the cluster Zsinj) 1 (4.2%)
Looks like it was a good idea to include the PA into Ascendancy...
Especially after my brother voted as a guest to the PA and Zsinj's empire :D
All hail the Alignment!
-
Shouldn't really surprise anybody, but Empire of the Hand.
-
But I like them all!
Well, I don't like the Pentastar Alignment as much as the others.
Voting for EotH and Warlords.
-
Interesting that the PA has so little EU coverage yet is so popular. Koodos to the mod team for making that possible
-
I think it's because what little coverage it has portrays it as a more "human", less humanocentric Empire. So you still get all the stuff you love about the Empire (Star Destroyers), without the sith, without the human arrogance. It's a likeable empire.
-
but you get Jerec and Dark Jedi instead.

No surprise at all. The hand was a short second for me too.

In fact, Jerec was not that tightly connected to the PA. It was more like just that Ardus paid his bills what he made while trying to find the Valley of the Jedi.

Yeah, Jerec was only loosely connected to the PA, and once he had found the Valley of the Jedi would have gladly abandoned his "support" of the PA. He only feigned loyalty to the PA (and the Empire before that) so that he had someone to pay for his search, he truly was loyal to only 1 person, himself.
As for Dark Jedi's, they served Jerec, not Kaine, so once Jerec split, they would have left too.
-
That's why i admire Jerec. He successfully played the PA,Prophets of the Darkside and Reborn Palps for his own gain. If he had not had the misfortune to cross SWs Chuck Norris he might well have ssucceeded in his goals. I mean he was only beneath Vader in the underlings power level and he would have had the knowledge and power of 24 Sith Lords and 100 Jedi knights and masters . With his web of financial support and resources he might well have become Emperor
-
You ask too broad a question.
In Gameplay, Remnant all the way. It can just stomp the Rebels easily and those SSDs are GLORIOUS. About my favorite part of this mod is the 40 pop cap which means a Executor + Sovereign + some support (ISD IIS or heroes). It stomps. It's glorious.
In fandom, Pentastar Alignment. I'm a sucker for corporate america ruling the galaxy.
-
I'd go with the Remnant, largely because of Thrawn. Then again, the Pentastar Alignment has some pretty good units.
-
Good to see the Dushkan League finally got some love.

agreed.
In fact, one of my friends sent the vote.
I showed him the game, and he fell in love with the DL.
I really hope I can finally talk to him enough to make him register, and joining the community.

I really liked them as villains, too bad the side story in BFC with Luke sucked so bad. I always wanted to see more of the Yevetha, they were more fanatical than the Vong. Kind of ticked me off when they were killed offscreen, or off page I should say by the Vong. Must have been a hell of a battle though. The Yevetha had several thousand Thrustships and dozens of heavier capital ships according to Jainas sensors so just imagine the fleet the Vong brought in to bum rush them. Woulda been something to see. Hopefullyyour ffriend will join. Is always cool to meet a fellow Dushkan League enthusiast.
-
I think the best thing about the Yevethans is that they not just taken out the local remnants, but used their own ships against them, captured an SSD and enslaved them, just like they used to be enslaved.
The only thing i really sorry is that the Duskhan League had so few units.
In wookiepedia i found a few information, and according to those, the DL used Interdictors and CR90s...
Would be cool to see the DL using them having Yevethan plex soldiers, and so on...
Their scout trooper could have been a lonely sniper, having the sprint ability with a fairly long vision range.
-
Good ideas
-
thank you, and sorry, but i was mistaken.
The DL did not used interdictor star destroyers, but Immobilizer 418s.
Just switched those two's name...
It would be also logical to give them AT-PTs as they were used by the local remnants.
And we all know what happened to every single piece of technology they found...
If you ask me the worst problem with the DL though is that they have no income boost buildings.
My solution for this problem would be the Prison camp, which in their case could be called enslavement camp and would give them a decent amount of credit income, however only 1/planet could be built and would be quite expensive.
Like Vanila game's Consortium palace.

Good ideas
Now you can also try the game with them(well, some of them...)

Exquisite

I don't have much experience with this mod yet so far, but so far I've played the EoTH and the IR. I suppose it's just my play style ever since I played Starcraft. Small groups of big, heavy, slow but powerful units. I decided to go with the EoTH and was plesently suprised with their power levels. They can kick all kinds of ass and their units are very interesting in design too.

I agree that the Pentastar Alignment is at least a more realistic version of the Empire (as in it's the kind of Empire you'd see if Star Wars was more hard sci-fi), but I'd have thought the Empire of the Hand is what people would go for if they want a more likeable Empire. Funnily enough, this very notion is a source of internal conflict for Mara in Survivor's Quest - she finds the Empire of the Hand an attractive prospect because it reminds her of her good old days in the Empire without all the evil.
Anyway, I voted Empire of the Hand due to their cool units and utilising hit-and-fade tactics using their ships with indestructible engines, and Pentastar Alignment due to their similarly interesting and varied roster plus the fire-power they can bring to bear with it.
-
I like both the Empire of the Hand and the New Republic, however the IR would come next should the option have been there to choose three.
-
I like the NR the most because they're the underdogs. When you start a campaign you have to move quickly to not be overwhelmed by SSDs. Later, when the EoTH inevitably takes control of half the galaxy, they're great as the last faction you need to beat to win because their units are so overpowered. You really have to use your resources efficiently, as well as strongly defend planets that act as the only pathway to sections of the galaxy you exclusively control (and that might be lightly defended). I also think the Mon Cal ships look great.
I've played as the EoTH and it gets boring quickly because it's so easy to just steamroll the other factions.
I actually haven't played as the PA yet, but that will probably be my second favorite with their mix of Imperial and Old Republic units.
