- Welcome to the Empire At War mega-campaign, where with the help of a load of mods, we're going to play through the whole Star Wars saga, from the Clone Wars to the New Republic.
We begin with Fall of the Republic, available from the steam workshop:

Hey folks, audio should be a bit better in this one, still working on getting rid of those little visual stutters that occasionally appear though.
I like to imagine that Ozzel gets a statue in a park and a posthumous medal of valor for his valiant last stand in the face of the endless Separatist forces, and a little blurb in the history books detailing his bravery.
Love the hints of the Imperial March around 7 minutes in while you're tactically building up the forces of the Republic to start doing ground invasions to...liberate planets from the Confederacy
Watching Greivous do his 'spinny blade thing' is giving me flashbacks to abusing his sprint attack in Battlefront 2 back on the PS2. Chewing through entire groups with a twirly lightshow was always a laugh.
Do we have a good game just based on Grievous yet? If not we need one, the movies did him dirty
You talk about how it happens that the seperatists beat you back a bit ingame, which is kind of the thing indeed. In Legends the depiction of the Clone Wars (pre TCW2008). They chose to take the rumored number of 6 million clones initially being on Geonosis statement from George, to heart. Using it as an incredibly interesting outlook for how the entire war would go in Legends/the Clone Wars Multi Media project (i.e, where 2003 Clone Wars came from alongside Ventress, Durge & many other characters). With it being that, despite the Republic now being able to put their foot down, they still were massively outnumbered by mass produced droids. Not to mention the fact that while clones were generally better then the droids individually, they also still racked up massive amounts of casualties which unlike their enemies could not be recycled and reused once they're terminated. Lastly there were even many capital ships that weren't ready until the later stages of the war. With there also being a massive shortage of pilots for the republic throughout. Generally it's a pretty interesting war, that also sees the jedi slowly deteriorating not just through order 66, but the many battles with the CIS as well.
As an legends Star Wars nerd. Iaco Stark started the stark hyperspace war which was like a retcon to correct something with the ancient hyperspace war. But young kenobi fought in it and it was a a cool comic series for before episode 1
Yeah, I thought it was neat seeing him pop up. That was a fun story.
With a campaign map as intense as this, the ability to give orders while paused would be REALLY helpful. You probably could have intercepted that invasion of Carida if you hadn't had to unpause and drag your fleet around in real-time.
other than that, fantastic episode as always
I think the juggernaut tanks were designed to have two front ends. Meaning no matter which direction they drive, they will always be going forward.
That intro reminded me of the audio logs in between Battlefront 2 campaign missions. Damn that took me back.
I can just imagine Ozzel flying in his laat saying "Fire at that position!" And then his laat starts going down and he says "You have won this day you clankers! But you haven't won the wa-!" And then it crashes to the ground and explodes
Very good episode, definitely getting the "oh shit everything is on fire" vibe just because they don't stop attacking. Although admittedly times like that kinda make me wish this game was fully turn based with like ordering a fleet to a place and it takes x many turns to get there and then it attacks. Would make it feel a bit more manageable, but honestly? Still a great game that I thoroughly enjoy, especially modded.
That Seppie bombing run on Carida was terrifying. Just goes to show the importance of air superiority.
Lol, at least that saves Ozzel from disappointing Vader for the last time xD
Also, I feel that Auto-Resolve is a bad button; a lot of these seperatist attacks could have been beaten or at least made costly by fighting it out;
The respawning starfighters can go out and inflict damage on the ships before they even get close, wear them down and kill some off. Still a lost cause, but I get a feeling the seps have so many resources it may be required to hit them at any given chance.
Everybody gangster till the cyborg brings out his glow sticks
Holy shit, that line of battle against the Sullustan dude was absolutely devastating. So satisfying to watch loool
I am so glad this series is continuing (and so fast), I love your videos.
Spin to win.
Groevus: DEMACIA!
Oh lord, Grievous is on the prowl run away! Run away!!
I am really glad that you were able to bring this LP back.
I really like the narrative you weave into it - and Empire at War will allways have a special place in my heart.
Hey Dave, glad this series is back! Just a quick suggestion for space battles. That blue slot in the top left of the unit screen. If you put a ship there (a fast one like a corvette) you can use it kind of like a scout ship on the battle map and then you can call in your ships on the battlefield right next to or even behind enemy ships in some cases. You can even pull thrawn pincers with it when you use that.
Lol nevermind I just saw you have that set up already
This makes me sad that I can't get AotR Ground Assault to boot up anymore. I dont want to abandon my save for the newer version of the mod. I also think it would be cool to add a reinforcement mechanic. For example the battle at Rishi, if you could have ordered the neighboring fleet to move there before beginning the battle it would be cool to have a "reinforcements timer" and if you're orbital defenses could hold out long enough the fleet would arrive.
EDIT: Good news, inspired I redoubled my efforts and got my mod working again, saves intact! FOR THE EMPIRE!
Really happy to see this series coming back, keep em coming 😁
Those space battles are CRAZY! So many fighters!
Loving those new space battle death animations.
Damn, LAAT Captain Ozzuk died as a soldier should, fighting the seps to his last breath! His name will forever be synonymous with bravery and valor in battle, and I’m sure no descendants/relatives of his will ever join the empire and be cowardly and die
This is really nice
39:49 Now that's how you use those wedge shaped beauties.
Ozzle fought to the last, may God be with him.
(Also it's a shame you can't monatize these)
Real Captain Bannon hours here.
Occasionally the video will freeze and then cut to a second later. But you're clearly doing stuff even when the video is frozen.
Is this mod so unoptimized that it messes with your recording software?
gunships in this mods are fun.
just saying in tr i have groups of 40-60 nuking Imperial destroyers for fun
Pour one out for Ozzel boys, he gave the Seppies hell before he went out. - CT10873 "Bulldog"
Dave, I know I'm a month late, but I really hope you figured out how to use the Pelta Support Frigate to deploy the gravitic mines. Multiple times in this episode, you expressed worry that the Seppies would retreat when you had the ability to deny them escape right there in the battle.
Do you plan to play the awakening of the rebellion mod
Ozzel noooooooo ;_;
How do you not get brashed in this game...
game is really easy its rare when people lost
Oh dear! I want the music, but I want you to make money! Such a dilemma!
I'm pretty new around here and enjoy the RP and presentation, but I have to say... Dave's land-micro game seems pretty weak. Carida's defense had a solid chance of being won, if the AoE healing vehicle was kept alive longer, as well as proper rotation of other units under fire being... well, a thing he did.
Then again, by his own account he's been away from the game for a while now and I'm not sure pause/command is even a thing in the land battles.
Still, very enjoyable content.
Some mistakes you made:
Don't auto resolve your battles, use the garrison in the shipyard to inflict as much damage as you can on your enemy for example at 46:15
At 49:15 you should have used power to weapons on the three acclamators that were in the back and evacuated the one that nearly died sooner(you were lucky)
