Empire at War Has a TON of Cut Content!

I’d love to see you cover more cut content from other star wars games

This actually solves a mystery I did notice when I was younger. I always wondered why the Nightsister rancors didn't eat their targets while the generic ones from the base game did. Very cool to finally have an answer. Great video!

It did feel like they intended to do more with Xizor. Perhaps they even hoped to get back to him in whatever was supposed to come after FoC

You can bet if petro gets the green light fir a sequel they will take another look at these mechanics

Imagine the more modern Empire at War format mixed with the more complex Rebellion. That would be SO GOOD!

This was super interesting! I’ve been playing since 2007 and I’ve been playing thrawn’s revenge since you first started it and I didn’t know all but one of these things- the rancor one

Just me or did that penguin scratch its butt and sniff it🤣🤣🤣

The remaster we desperately need

I have a lot of gratitude towards the mod creators of "Thrawn's Revenge." The latest update is awesome. It's more challenging because every cycle credit payment has to be allocated to maintain your fleet, which I think is realistic. They got rid of the political aspects like choosing between Mon Mothma and Borsk Fey'lya for elections which to be honest, does not truly interest me in a galactic conquest. And you don't have to deal with an unexpected enemy fleet attack from behind you when you are already attacking an enemy system in progress. And finally, I love how the small frigates rotate in chaos when destroyed.

So Corey when are we getting a penguine model in Thrawn's Revenge??

ooh! Interesting!

Don’t forget it’s easy to enable the Executor in the game and in skirmish.

For those who don’t know. There’s a full model of the Eclipse in the game files.

Please do a video on the cut content on eawx mods, I would love to hear the ideas and concepts you and the team had. Cut content and bets content is super interesting to me

I started laughing out loud when T-posing Dodonna appeared on screen

Would absolutely love to see a fleshed out Empire at War 2 with quality of life changes, new units, etc. though I really don't trust any company in these days to not screw it up somehow.

The V-wing was already in rhe original. However it belonged to the pirate faction. Also its funny how the consortium had venators but the empire didnt.

the game was awesome and i still wish to see a successor...

Note that one of the planets they had plans for was Hapes, meaning they planned to add the Hapans, an independent faction, to the game. They'd probably be who the ally mechanic was meant to work for

Love Empire at War. Really needs a remake of a sequel

Definitely would be interesting to see more of the energy mechanic fleshed out. Might get the Ssi-ruvi into the game more smoothly.

There were also graphic enhancements which got left out, such as the ability to have independent light sources attached to objects. In theory, these would have operated independently from the global light source, being the sun. The code for these has values for intensity, color and falloff which indicates it would have been used for things like street lamps, emitted light for laser beams or explosions etc. There are also some shaders in the game files that are incomplete or unused...though the code for some of them indicates that they were just leftover from a shader library that, presumably, Petroglyph had purchased as a foundation for their own shaders. More of a failure to clean up files than content intended for the final game.

I want them to remake this game so bad. i dont even care if they shove disney starwars into it. just give us modders the framework of a 2024 - 2030 engine remake.

Great video!

Ima need a little more explanation on these energy pools for ships. So if this pool runs out, the ship is stunned? Temporarily I assume. Does it regenerate like shields? Are weapons stopped from firing or do they just do reduced damage? Or are they not affected? Is this something that most modders remove in their mods?

Does anybody know how to increas the capacity in space battles?

Petroglyph needs to re-enable Rancor eating in FoC.

censorship is for stupid people

DUUUUUDE that game was my life in my childhood. Seeing now that it could have been even better hurts. Please God let Petroglyph survive long enough so that Mickey Mouse lets them do a part 2.

No really? Cut Comtent? The Master of Modding for this game telling us there are so many additional resources? You're blowing my mind dude, blowing my mind! ;) 😂

Boy do I want a “definitive” or “Director’s Cut” version of EaW now.

The Empire at war demo came out a few months before the game was released and it had a demo campaign that you saw in teh files. Pretty late in development it seemed that the venators were the default cruisers instead of the acclimator.

/=D

One of the best Star Wars games to exist.

Ah yes the Venator my beloved.

The now-defunct "Ultimate Empire at War" mod added Admiral Daala and her Star Destroyer The Gorgon into the game. One thing I found in the mod's XML code was that there were files for the other 3 Star Destroyers Daala commanded in the novels, but they hadn't been enabled. After a little tinkering, I had the ISDs Basilisk, Manticore, and Hydra working as unique, non-respawning units in Galactic Conquest. I was too much of a noob at the time to read the game's code without a mod unlocking it for me, so I never knew if this was cut content for vanilla EAW or for the mod.

Can we take a moment and reflect on the fact that the ending of Forces of Corruption was a massive tease at a sequel expansion or a sequel game?

TFW a monster eating a person whole, without chewing or ripping apart with mouth and hands, is somehow worse than tiny teddy bear suicide bombers. The way censorship works is so weird.

I think the one thing I wanted most but never got was the ability to build Marines which can board enemy ships during space battles and capture said ship for your faction.

I really hope that one day we can get an Empire at War sequel...

I'm pretty sure there was also cut sith content too, for the ending of FOC there were models for the Sith, if Petroglyph did make EAW 2, I do hope they expand on that story line and bring the ancient sith back.

We could've gotten Kyle Katarn in Empire At War...

Nightsister:"My Rancor seeks flesh!"
Petroglyph guy:"Sorry Nightsister, we had censor Rancors eating people."
Nightsister:"But he's so hunger!"
Ewok Handler: "Hey can I still strap bombs to these furballs?"
Petroglyph guy: "Oh hell yeah!"
😂🤣

Fear the T posing Dodanna
