The Future of Imperial Civil War
As we've said in the past, 2.1 will be the final full version of Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Civil War. That being said, we still intend to support and release some updates for the mod. This will include a few new units, as well as some visual reworks which will hopefully also help to improve performance. At the moment, this is scheduled to include units like the Consen Dropship for the Empire of the Hand, and redone versions of the Bothan Assault Cruiser, new Shipyard skins, and a few other things. Once we have more feedback on Survival mode, we'd also like to update the map for it and release a version of it for the Pentastar Alignment, as well as include a version of the Imperial Civil War GC scenario for the New Republic (we originally intended to with the initial 2.1 release, but the New Republic refuses to play nice with the story scripts).

Our main focus going forward is going to be for our Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion mod, Star Wars: Ascendancy, which will be the source of our updated models. I know this will come as a disappointment to some people considering several of those people have sent me messages to insult me for it, but the addition of mountains of new units or factions at this point would hinder basic game functionality, and the mod is already pretty massive. With these updates, while we will be trying to flesh out some areas which may be lacking or add what makes sense, our main goals will be to polish what is there. We feel we've essentially accomplished the core of what we set out to do with ICW and are ready for some change.

I would personally like to thank the amazing team I've been lucky enough to be a part of for the last 8 years for their hard work, as well as the outspoken and dedicated fanbase who has supported us throughout development. I'm looking forward to working with all of you to polish ICW and to launch Ascendancy!

Desirable? Did you get auto-corrected from Desura?

Corey · « **Reply #4 on:** December 30, 2013, 08:03:59 PM »

Yeah, it'll be put on Desura but I'm getting the regular download mirrors done first before I try to figure out how that works.

exwarrior 2015 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 30, 2013, 08:04:53 PM »

ZIP version of the mod as well as the manual are both available now. Installer's on its way.

EDIT: Turns out the ZIP upload didn't work, so reuploading...

Hmm it appears to have been deleted ;_;

The Zip version was removed because it did not upload properly. You can use the installer version however: http://www.moddb.com/mods/thrawns-revenge/downloads/imperial-civil-war-21-installer

Hello, wondering if desura Downloader has been updated too 2.1 yet or if only the mirror's work at this point? Nothing new is coming up when I uninstall it and then reinstall from it.

Corey · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2013, 04:37:18 PM »

Desura requires an entirely different process, it hasn't been done yet.

Eliteempire · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2013, 04:40:55 PM »

Do you have a time-table for when that will be up, or should I check back in two days?

Pali · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2013, 05:26:25 PM »

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Congrats and thanks, team.

Desura provides absolutely no documentation on how we're supposed to use their service, so it'll be up whenever I can figure it out, upload the mod again and get it approved. I have absolutely no idea, however I do want to take tonight off so the absolute earliest is tomorrow night.
