Empire at War Remake in 2022 is FANTASTIC!

Kinda late to the party but another thing you can do to help with the sluggishness of busy skirmishes is turn off hardware mouse acceleration in video settings. Made a world of difference on my playthroughs.

i remember getting this game for my new windows xp pc back on release, i never knew the game was still active today especially these mods, i cant wait to dive in to this!

I am new to the game lols your review got me onto it. I have a craving for rts that i am having trouble scratching

it is especially the expansion being vastly superior

nothing against you but a pity that the mod has become really shit

How to download for us Apple users??

How can i all get this without steam

Honest to good think the Ground combat is better than Space. Especially in Mods like Awakening of the Rebellion.

I really hope the rumours of a new rts game is true. I've been reading the new thrawn books and I just want to play as a fleet commander like my blue boy

Republic at War is my fave. The gameplay is awesome for me. Love the Clone Wars era and it provides a nice little challenge in hard mode, constantly making me change up strategies to combat the massive fleets that star battering my planets defenses. But one of my favorite bits is the sound FX, the music just leaves me in awe while plotting my strategies for my war.

Great vid, thank you! Is there any way to play any of the story campaigns with the improved graphics of this mod (or any other mods that let you play a campaign vs just the galactic map)?

Thanks for the CPU tip

How can I play this on Mac? Do you have to start playing Empire at War from Steam? And then I can access the mod? Is it even playable on Mac?

I love this game, i always find myself coming back to it

A downside for me is that whenever I do the steps to change the lag or frame-rate. Every time I exist, it resets it back to what it was before. Is there any way to keep it the way I set it or do I have to do this every time I launch the game?

That whole weird glitch with the 'in-game menu fight' is something I've ran into from experience. It has something to do with the way you load your mod; double-clicking the mod name on the menu will do it, but selecting it and hitting the button doesn't.

If you get stuck on the 'menu fight', go to menu, quit game, and it should let you load a mod again.

Picking up on these little quirks is like dealing with a reliable but fussy car you've had for years; it kinda drives you nuts sometimes, but you can't see yourself without it.

This game is literally ONE OF THE BEST STAR WARS GAMES EVER

I remember I bought an Alienware to run this game back in the day. Think it's GPU was in the 900s but it was great at the time.
Now my RTX rig makes EaW cry. LOL

Unfortunately, the most unfortunate thing is that we have to wait for the 5.0 version because the ground hero has not been implemented yet.

I honestly wish someone would remake this game with stable multiplayer, modern graphics and an expanded roster. Basically like the mods but a brand new game do I can play it with friends without it regularly desyncing

I wish they added in battle were your units would just fight by themselves freely

It must be a big update, it’s 3x the size of original install.

So it’s essentially a game within a game?

Imagine a a star wars rts made like supreme commander.

I recently got back onto this game cause my good pc died and this is one of the only games my old pc im using as a backup can actually run.
Cool to see its getting a fan remake, but seeing as any game made in the last decade is just too much for my current pc, ill probably be sticking with the original.

Meh,not interested.
Close down SWTOR and give us SWG 2.0,same game mechanics no NGE but with 2022 graphics.

Is there a mod that reduces Land Battles and gives you more time in space ?

I personally not that big of a fan with the economy changes. I've been playing it since 2.0, and i thought 3.0's economy was perfect. Plus in skirmish, I have found the "kolto" difficulty when playing against the rebels to be ridiculous. The AI for the rebels being super aggressive, I have to play it 2-on-1 just to beat the rebels. Otherwise a single skirmish battle could take hours against them. And I'm referring to space battles btw.

One of my first games growing up. This, Kotor and RuneScape. Imma buy it again soon

I just bought this on steam yesterday. I cant wait to get started

That bug with the battle cam stuff that is seemingly controllable is actually pretty common, I forget how I kept accidentally proccing it, but I did it at least a dozen times now.

I just got the game but after I finish base game I'll use mods

I don't run mods but I only have an issue with getting foc to run. I'm on windows 10 but my computer is a little outdated.

Why dont they create this in newer games like supreme commander 2, sins rebellion, stellaris, etc etc

When will they retcon the lore to be abut the struggle of the gay alien slugs of Tumar against the racist Trumpire.

I wish the parts of ships would break off after they were destroyed like the OG

Performance wise it also helps to untick use hardware mouse in the settings

Hope its moddable enough to add base building!

This mod is dead. They are going right into abbys and the red alert or men of war fate awaits them.

Devs could just call this mod Rebbelion at War Remake because THAT i dont want to touch. i dont want to micro hundreds of units if i can barely see them or understand whats happening, i dont want to see how my ISD melts from... fighter attacks??? Graphics are great i have to give it to them maybe a thing or two id change for myself (including out of map scroll) Sounds are ok not wow. But difficulty or complexity - absolutely nope. If you call fighter spam and giving an AI ability to micro everything irl then you have to pause every second to see whats going on - "high difficulty" - then you dont understand what it means to the game to be difficult. And complexity - you dont need complexity if you didnt bother to think of difficulty but these devs are geniuses... ridiculous amount of details you can live without, unimaginable "difficulty", imberable "logic" behind devs decision and entirely hecked tactical/strategical component - makes this mod, which could be a game itself, absolute piece of ... which you cannot play and feel the game bc im a human not a robot!

I have a 3080ti and i can barley get 4fps

Quick question, game looks fun so I looked it up on steam.
Only version I can find is the gold pack for 20 USD (which is a lot for a game from 2006....).
Is there a normal version which costs less?
Thanks.

is there a mod that takes the visuals of the remake but doesn't change anything from the original? i would like to play the campaigns with the high quality models

Personally, I think what should really be done is that the "Empire at War: Remake" mod should simply be fully developed into it's own game. Much like how the game "DayZ" on Steam merely began as a mod for the game: ArmA 3, itself.

Are mods necessary for this game? I don’t know much about the original game but I am curious about this.

Never played the game, saw it mentioned offhand in a video, where do I start?

I like the older version where you didn’t have to go ground battles. The one where you just won the space battle and got the planet.

If you or anyone has hardware mouse option enabled in video settings turn it off. It lags the game. EcksToo made video about it.

Yeee stonk wars

A console version would be dope y’all remember Halo Wars that baby was 🔥
