this may be a dumb question, but,
are all the releases for forces of corruption? or are they all for normal eaw? or both?
also i have one pleading favor to ask of you, please dont delete the consortium, i read u were going to in one spot on the forum, but i dont see a reason why you should,
thanks for answering my stupid question

Mod is for FOC and the consortium are no more.

ok, why no more consortium?

it's non-canon and pointless.

lolzlolz · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2008, 12:33:56 AM »

what do you mean by non-canon why is it pointless, do you mean that cis replaces it seems it would add options if you left it
thx

The Zann Consortium were invented by Petroglyph purely for Forces of Corruption - They have no other canonical appearance at this point in time (this may change in future, if other authors decide to include them).

EAW and FoC are pretty limiting, anything beyond three main factions and you start having problems, so in Thrawn's Revenge, the Consortium are being replaced with a different faction for each release. In R1 (Empire of the Hand) with the Empire of the Hand, in R2 (Imperial Civil War) with the Ssi Ruuvi Imperium, and in R3 (Fall of the Republic) with the Chiss Ascendancy. Im sure you will agree that these factions are far more interesting than the non-canonical Zann Consortium they replace.

amen to that.

lolzlolz · « **Reply #7 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:14:50 PM »

ok i think i understand, but so u there will only be 3 factions in the game at any point in time
and using each "icon" (batch file) i will be able to play each faction separately, so if i wanted to play the consortium id start normal foc, or says clones or droids id start the republic release, etc (just an example)
but there won't be more than 3 factions at once?
thanks

got it, thanks

Isamu · « **Reply #10 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:20:49 PM »

will there be separate mods or what i don't quite understand

lolzlolz · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:22:19 PM »

yes with each release comes a new mod

Isamu · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:23:14 PM »

how do you know all this?

lolzlolz · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:25:56 PM »

i read the faqs and other info, i guess it is also assumable that with each release theres a new mod, from what ive read thats what i think

Slornie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:38:04 PM »

Right.

Each release (R1, R2, and R3) will be a standalone mod (with its own folder in Mods) which you run using the requisite batch file/shortcut.

Each release has three playable factions for GC and Skirmish (although some GCs may just be for two of the factions to add variety). R1 has the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Empire, and the Empire of the Hand. R2 has the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant and the Ssi Ruuvi Imperium. R3 has the Old Republic, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Chiss Ascendancy. (Each release also has a number of small, non playable factions in the GCs)

I hope this helps to clear the matter up

Isamu · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2008, 08:47:27 PM »

thanks slornie that does clear things up a lot

lolzlolz · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2008, 09:06:11 PM »

sweet slornie thats exactly what i wanted too

thanks

I thought that Arbs said that each one will add on new factions.

Corey · « **Reply #18 on:** February 29, 2008, 10:37:33 PM »

No. At one point we were planning compilation releases with all playable factions but that would make the game stop functioning.

Isamu · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2008, 12:28:25 AM »

one thing about eaw modding i didn't like is you can't mess with the faction numbers past + or - 1
