Thrawn's Revenge: The Clone Wars

[Corey]

This has come up several times in the past few weeks for some reason, but it's not happening. Here's why (taken from a PM exchange I had with somebody on Mod Database suggesting we add them into ICW):

That wouldn't make sense. The CIS and Republic didnt each turn into the Empire and Rebellion, so it wouldn't be possible to do it within one GC and have it make sense; too much changed, and for another thing we don't cover the Galactic Civil war to begin with. Also, the factions would always be called the same thing regardless of what era it is, so if we did include the Clone Wars stuff it'd have to be in its own GCs with its own factions. Considering that factions beyond the first 3 can't have their own story scripting and the mod is already 4 gigs, if there's no place where the CW content is being mixed with the original content, it would be most efficient if it were done as two seperate mods since the file size would be smaller, the factions would function better and no content would be lost.

But again, we have no interest in making another mod for EaW, and whether its done seperately or just tacked on to ICW as you suggest, that doesn't change the fact that its still a good 60-80 additional units plus everything else we'd need to do. It's years of work to add a time period we can't stand into a game we've already spent 7 years modding.

The bottom line is the team hates the Clone Wars. See my sig for details.


We're so damn professional, I know.

So, in 6 months you'll be announcing a Clone Wars mod then I take it?

Is this second place to giving a SSD to the EotH?  There should be a list of items to leave off when signing up for the forums /kidding/

Hey, maybe the new SW movies will end the fascination with the clone wars.  Unfortunately an entire generation has already been brought up with them.

?  There should be a list of items to leave off when signing up for the forums /kidding/

1. Anything I can answer with "that was in hotfix x"/"install the ram fix"/"read the manual"
2. Clone Wars
3. EotH SSD

You should also include "When is version XX coming out?"

Phew.  For a moment I thought Zer had gotten to it!

[Enceladus]

I should probably switch out my FOTR sig at some point.

[Corey]

Maybe get around to fixing "Thrawn\'s" as well.

But but but but but but but...

Sounds just fine to me the Clone Wars is not what something I wish to see.

One thing I would love to see though is maybe redoing a backstory on everything right as soon as the Empire has risen and the Rebels are born. Bring back some of the old faces or famous battles that tell the story after all since the Empire has came into being their is at least 20 years almost of interesting amazing battles to be fought. Lets face it you guys have done a much better job then the old game designers ever did and certainly more dedicated.

I personally would love to fight through and crush some early roots of rebellion springing up in the Golden Age of the Empire, the Imperial leader as per history would still be killed and the era could still progress or a combination of objectives during this time could be completed with the ultimate ending to the next obviously be Endor. Any thoughts?
