Pretty impressive. I think I'll try this out

[DarthRevansRevenge]

very interesting. what all does this change?

[Jorritkarwehr]

It shouldn't change anything if you don't play as the Corporate Sector. If you do, CSA independence happens immediately rather than once Zsinj dies, which removes a few planets and starting forces from Zsinj's Empire. Night Caller and Teubbo get moved to Serenno so they don't get wiped out in the first week. Killing Zsinj still causes the Remnant to break off the alliance with the New Republic, but nothing special happens to the CSA planets anymore.

[Lord Xizer]

So I tried to install it(with putting the data file in as the readme suggests) and it just causes a crash.
Any suggestions old boy?

[Jorritkarwehr]

Hm, not sure what's happening offhand. Do you have a clean copy of patch 2 of the demo? When does it crash, and does it give you any information about why?

[Lord Xizer]

Yes I have a clean install. It crashes when it brings up the title screen shot of the battle of Orinda(the Reaper and Lusankya one)
Then it won't go past that and I have to CTRL EXT back to desktop where I get a pop up message saying Fatal Exception has occurred, try again yes or no.
No matter which you click it says EaW is not responding and will now close.

[Jorritkarwehr]

You are merging the downloaded data folder with Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Mods\ICW22Demo\Data, correct?

[Lord Xizer]

Yes, that is exactly what i did. Still getting the exception error.

[Jorritkarwehr]

I haven't been able to replicate the crash on my system. Have you tried redownloading the submod?

[Lord Xizer]

I haven't been able to replicate the crash on my system. Have you tried redownloading the submod?

Yes, I tried the new file yesterday(after putting a fresh copy of the 2.2 demo in first) still same result.
It's not an issue, would be cool to play as the CSA but I can wait.

[Roachbugg]

I like this Sub Mod a lot! Just a few things I've noticed after about three hours of game play.

the CSA's ISD-I has basically an infinite power to weapons ability. What I mean is the is almost no shield cost a near instant cool down and a short duration essentially allowing the CSA-ISD-I to become a floating turbo laser machine gun, which to be fair is rather humorous but a bit unbalanced.

The CSA's fleet roster is nice with a a lot of carriers and some decent line ships all they lack is larger battle cruisers which is understandable they shouldn't really have any battlecruisers or an SSD. I'm not sure the Dauntless fits any needed role on their roster but it isn't unbelievable for them to have them since I do believe they are just converted luxury liners much like the MC-80's correct? Also, the Dauntless doesn't have any fighter's is that Intentional? 

Their fighter's match up well against all the other faction's even being able to muscle out the NR with enough numbers the V-19 having concussion missiles is really the linch pin it also allowed my fleet to wipe out Zsinj and Iron Fist the first time he attacked.

Their ground roster is underwhelming with the droidika being the only interesting unit, this isn't so much a complaint as an observation. I hate ground-battles anyway having the heavy tracker's sensor ping to target for bombardments and Bombing runs is great though. I'd switch the Infantry from the NR models to the PA enforcers they seem more like what I'd expect Espo officers to look like especially with their reliance on hand-me-down Imperial Surplus equipment.

[Jorritkarwehr]

Thanks! Glad to hear that you've enjoyed it!

The CSA ISD is a copy of the Greater Maldrood's which has the same ability. Considering the CSA's general lack of powerful ships, it's not as much of a concern, but still might be worth revisiting.

The Dauntless connection is fairly weak, but it was a converted luxury liner made by SoroSuub, and SoroSuub had a good relationship with the Corporate Sector. Besides, it adds another heavy frigate to a roster short on powerful vessels. The lack of fighters isn't intentional, but the Rebel version has the same issue and I wasn't able to track it down.

The ground unit selection is fairly underwhelming, but I don't think there's much more in the mod that fits. Navytroopers would be the second choice for ground infantry, but Espos are explicitly said to use brown riot armor, and I think the NR model matches the depictions of them better:




For that matter, the CSA doesn't seem particularly dependent on second hand tech for their ground forces. Besides KZZ Riot armor, they have their own walkers, assorted hover vehicles, and even artillery. I just don't have the modelling skills to make any of it.


Thanks for the screenshots!

[Roachbugg]

Right, I forgot the Espos were called boys in brown by smugglers. I'm forgetting my smuggler slang! That makes the Use of the NR soldiers make more sense, I'm still going to chuckle at the big NR logo on their shoulders though . Anyway, I finished my campaign and here's another batch of screen shots.Just a thought but you know how all the factions have a capita building might be an IDea to give the CSA Star's End to serve a similar purpose.

My ships may be old as dirt but they'll still kill you just as efficiently as Zsinj's shiny Iron Fist. Oh, wait I blew that up. -Admiral Angela Krin, Taunting Han Solo at the battle of Hapes.
