Hi
« on: January 25, 2013, 10:10:30 AM »
Hello gentlebeings of Thrawn?s Revenge forums

i have arrived with few questions and possibly suggestions(if its allowed in these forums)

the mod is glorious! amazing! 5/5! but ive noted these few things while playing

1)From the ground up mode,i love this galactic conquest mode to bits but i just wish there was one in similiar size to Art of War or well just little more to it

2)From the ground up mode,would it possible to enable minor heroes?or planet specific units? exsample Noghri Death commandos and err not sure but i recall seeing Fleet commanders in earlier versions/patches of this mod,would love to have those around

3)also loving the fact that you can gain factorys/barracks from conquering certain planets(corulag etc) could this be applied to ships? kinda far fetched thing i have in mind but would it be possible for exsample new republic to gain 1-2 victory star destroyers from taking kuat/byss and along same lines for rest of the factions?

Apologies for bad english feel free to move this to proper section if i happened to miss out the correct sub forum/thread

keep up the good work !

Welcome to the forums!

I don't really have any authority to comment on what gets added and what doesn't, but I do remember from older versions of the mod the fleet commanders would multiply and eventually number in the thousands due to some weird AI bug.  It slowed down the game as the fleet commander apocalypse developed and was quite funny to witness the first time.

You may love fleet commanders now, just like a fuzzy tribble, but they'll make you regret it later once they've eaten all your grain.  (don't kill me for the Trek reference)

In any case, I'm sure an actual modder with authority can answer your suggestions in a timely manner.  They are good about that on these boards.
Did you see that?  Know what that cost?  $58,000.  I mean, what a waste.  It wasn't even funny.  That's $58,000 that could have gone to curing leukemia.  Or.  muscular dystrophy.  Or... what does Michael J. Fox have?  That.  Alright, let's watch some damn cartoons.

Allowed and encouraged.

1)From the ground up mode,i love this galactic conquest mode to bits but i just wish there was one in similiar size to Art of War or well just little more to it

It's basically as big as we felt safe making it without having the freeze/selection bug in EaW become an issue. It started larger, however the starting forces, planet counts and traderoutes all had to be adjusted quite a bit, or it tended to freeze around week 60.

2)From the ground up mode,would it possible to enable minor heroes?or planet specific units? exsample Noghri Death commandos and err not sure but i recall seeing Fleet commanders in earlier versions/patches of this mod,would love to have those around
JLC basically covered the fleet commander thing. We spent years trying to stop thre game from spamming them, we're not going to add them back in. The Noghri commandos aren't really minor heroes, they're units specific to Thrawn available from one planet, which is why they're not available in that GC. We didn't include major heroes because there was a tendency to rely on them too much.

3)also loving the fact that you can gain factorys/barracks from conquering certain planets(corulag etc) could this be applied to ships? kinda far fetched thing i have in mind but would it be possible for exsample new republic to gain 1-2 victory star destroyers from taking kuat/byss and along same lines for rest of the factions?

We try to keep faction identities seperate as much as possible, which is why we've been hesitant to have that sort of cross-pollenation occuring except in the case of minor factions where there are unique units. Otherwise, the basic idea is if you want to use VSDs, play the Remnant. It just gets kind of disorganized with too many unit types.

I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon

Just don't suggest an EOTH SSD or Corey might have an aneurism.
