I STILL Can't Believe This is REAL - Star Wars: Empire at War 2022 Review - Star Wars Day Special

Sadly I never played "Star Wars: Enpire at War", no time for that.
I always liked playing "Star Trek:Armada" though.
Are there mods like those for that as well?

no mods mention? .,....naaah

At the moment of this post the game is on special at steam $6.99 is there is a good time to get it is now.

One of the rare times we got Star Wars RTS game for some reason. I don't recall any other SW rts beside this and Battlegrounds, which let's be honest was just reskin of Age of Empires 2. Don't get me wrong, we played the shit out of that one back in the day, but even back then it was obvious to us they just did reskin of AOE2.

golden age of strategy games ? mate have you ever played Dark Reign, Z , Dungeon Keeper 1&2, Lords of the Realm 2,Theocracy,C&C Red alert, Warcraft 1&2 ? What you refer to as the golden age is the same as what hollywood has done to classic films reruns & reboots . Just cuz its 3D doesnt mean its the golden age ,yes this game couldnt have been as great pre 3D as it needs 4x physics play anything I mentioned kiddo

Man your first 2 strategy games matched mine. My cousin got me into the Battle for Middle Earth 2 and Empire at war. So much fun

I was just playing this last night, so much fun :)

On the steam workshop for this game you can get fall of the republic mod for this

This game, og battlefront and age of empires was my childhood for PC games. On PlayStation it was gran Turismo games.

to be fair, wich trillogy you like the most depends on the generation you were born in, because all these movies were aimed at children. my mom loves the originals she saw as kid, i love the prequels wich released during my childhood, and maybe a future generation will realy like the sequels, you already can start seeing the memes crop up.

My only main complaint about EAW is that tbh the ground combat is utterly tedious and unfun compared to space battles. I find myself only playing Remake 3.5 because it removes the ground combat altogether. It feels like such a long, tedious grind anytime you're on the ground, and you can't even really skip it even if you have superior manpower because the auto-resolve system SUCKS so bad that even if you absolutely should win a fight the game will figure out a way to fuck you and kill an entire fleet/squad just because.

It just utterly breaks my immersion when I have to take a fight to the ground. I feel only frustration when I get attacked or have to gather ground troops to attack a planet.

Revenge of the sith is your favourite starwars movie? That is like cursing in the purist church according to Nerdrotic and Geeks & Gamers 😂😂😂

People are STILL WAITING for a newer release!

I got this game as a kid and quite honestly... It is probably the game I played the most as a youngling. It would had been Battlefront 2 if I didn't lose that disk in a motel... Long story... :((

Also a game I have massive nostalgia for.

I am glad that Empire at War could help me cope with that loss and quite honestly even surpass the nostalgia in a way. Battlefront 2 is more illusive nostalgia as a lot of my thoughts are related to missing the game. Meanwhile Empire at War could run on most computers I owned so it became a go to game when going on trips and around the place and since my dad is a fan of driving and camping trips... This means Empire at War almost feels like a massive part of my childhood. And I honestly think that I can't even imagine what I would be like without it.

I was young. I am a 2001 kid... I am also a fan of Lego and stuff and this year with the release of the Tie Interceptor set had me pog facing real hard. I haven't bought it yet... But EaW made me love the Tie Interceptor even more than the original Tie Fighter and find the sight of a Tie Interceptor more nostalgic for me than any other Star Wars ship. Because I played FoC quite a lot. And when people play this they ask me what my opinion on Thrawns Revenge or this or that mod is... And quite honestly the truth is... While I imagine those mods are GREAT... I have just been playing vanilla mostly. 😂

I dabbled in Republic at War mod before the workshop update. And I have even made my own personal custom maps. Theed City, which is something I made for when I play Republic at War but it works on unmodded too of course, and Tantive IV... Which is a land battle inside the Tantive IV... With vehicles. It is a little nonsensical but I think personally I love the level design I made.

It's an asymmetric push map with the very start of the level having the iconic blasting down of the door scene. Not perfectly accurate of course but still I could show and impress my friends with it. The corridors are not as... Smooth as I wanted but unfortunately the map editor has some limitations when it comes to that. Either way it works pretty decently. There is also a little spawn for the Consortium if you want to do a little bit of trolling. 😁

I have forever wanted to do something similar for the Battle of Hoth but unfortunately I think the main issue is Hoth is pretty flat and the main issue is you can't really make trenches that easily in the editor. But either day... One day I will and I will then consider actually sharing them online I guess.

All and all... Autistic Comfort media / Out of Ten. It may not be the GOAT game. But it's my personal GOAT.

Empire at War came about because of Homeworld...

it was cool but nowhere as fun as it's predecessor Rebellion was.

I didn't know Matt Damon reviewed games.

I have a 3060 ti, i7, and on Windows 11 this game will not load. 😢

As a series I loved the OT more but ROTS is Lucas's magnum opus

until you get: synchronization error detected.

Is there custom battles like other strat rts Games?

Just got this with the Forces of Corruption expansion on the 4th. Best purchase I made. Personally, I love the space battles more than the ground battles, especially when I'm on the Rebellion taking on the Empire. It's funny to watch the Empire throw everything at you and lose twice as many forces as you do before they eventually achieve victory.

Is this game on steam?

Get the Steams Republic at War mod its sick 😊

Is this game on Steam?

I knew I heard Closed on Sundays in the background lol Great video!

I always play galactic conquest as the empire, I built the Death Star and destroyed every planet, had a fleet of 78 star destroyers, 176 victory class cruisers, 20 broadside cruisers, 20 tartan cruisers, 78 acclamator cruisers and 4 interdicter cruisers used to prevent hyperspace jumps and to completely destroy the rebel fleet

Is the game on the PlayStation?

Dude the prequels are sick. All star wars is sick. Star wars is silly good fun!

If you don't think the mods are fully-fledged games on their own, you should play them again. The level of polish on mods like Republic at War and Thrawn's Revenge are just... I have no words.

i understand why they did not add campains to the moded versions but it would be so cool if they tried

When video games where actually something to remember

I'm a world record holder for the game, and I couldn't be prouder. This game is honestly beautiful. And thanks to modders (and even the Devs for releasing patches EVEN IN 2022) for keeping the game alive even if it's just for singleplayer content. Clone wars content has never been so good

My first attempt at modding a game directly was Star Wars Empire at War to get the clone wars mod working. It was really frustrating because I didn't know much about computers, but incredibly worth it once I finished

Is this better than Homeworld Star Wars Mod?

Literally playing Thrawns Revenge mod as I found this lol

"Sad" Fact: Petroglyph, the dev team who made Empire at War and Forces of Corruption also wanted to make an "EaW 2", but since the SW licence was on EA's hands at the time, they got refused, and right now they've been working on a new game (not Star Wars) and it's unlikely that we'll be seeing an EaW style SW game any time soon, but it's very clear they want to do it, since they still release updates for EaW

Also, since you're a Prequels guy, I recommend you to try Fall of the Republic, an FoC mod made by the people who made Thrawn's Revenge

The mods for this game make is soooooooo much better

One of the most janky and unplayable pieces of trash i've had the displeasure of playing.

Play the mod Republic at War if your more of a prequels guy

Prefer the prequel series? You almost got me for a moment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍

Try Thrawns Revenge with the ship and troop mods and larger Galaxy. It’s amazing.

There is a mod on steam, Republic at war. Gives prequel to this.

Had to blink a few times when video started as I thought it was Matt Damon. Legend for this review though mate 👏

There’s 2 mods: Thrawn’s Revenge, and Fall of the Republic, that are the best mods in this game. Since you’re a clone wars fan I’d suggest Fall of the republic first, because you get to experience all the Jedi in land battles and amazing republic and CIS ships.

Must play mods. Remake Mod, Thrawns Revenge, and Awakening of the Rebellion. Try them. You won't be disappointed if you love a challenge

Matt Damien is that you?

There’s republic mods

Which one is the best galactic strategy game? Sins of a Solar Empire, Endless Space, Stellaris, this one...?
