This time I decided to touch upon my favourite RTS of all time, Empire at War.
Extra Credits:

Intro Star Wars music was used from Star Wars The Force Unleashed OST. - Hry
This video has a semi-follow up - thought it touches more upon the mod history and it's process: czcams.com/video/8zrE9j5iRME/video.html
Edit: Apologies for the sudden music cut between 6:39 - 7:16, the original video has been cut down due of the presence of Samuel Kim's Star Wars decomposition of the Imperial March, apparently Elite Alliance claimed the Imperial March segment specifically out of anything else considering that's one of Kim's the least recomposed piece.
My brain can’t process the speed of which things happen in this game and I just end up panicking
Dude me too 😂😂 and I’m a strategy player it’s just extremely hard on hard
@@marcus760 once you get used to the mods ai on medium, hard seems easy, the more you play the better you get, my advice, while in the galaxy map building buildings and units, pause your game, so you can queue up units and buildings, look into some of your week points, or even plan some attacks on the ai, all while the game is paused and the ai is also paused :)
for moments like those i love the pause button
I felt like that when i first got into rts with devinity dragon comander just takes alot of time and practice
There's a pause button in the galactic map and a game speed slider in individual matches. Hope I can help.
As empire - step one.... combine all fleets step two - .... spam money buildings and always get the next tech stage as soon as it comes up.... step 3 - steam roll.
The corruption is a pain in the ass imo
@@coreywhite1170 then steam roll the consortium off the map. No consortium, no corruption.
Star wars empire at war 2, in 2021 graphics would be epic
I think remake is as close as your gonna get, any remake by ea has been complete and utter garbage, and I’d hate to see the gem of my childhood to be tainted by their nasty micro transactions (which I’m sure ea will find SOMETHING to put micro transactions on)
EA in cough
And it needs modding support.
@@AbyssWatcher745 yes, definitely
No don't give us that hope
My strategies for the Factions are:
For the Empire:
-Mass produce the Stormtrooper
-Gather your fleet in the early game and start your conquest quickly
-Death Star
For the Rebels:
-Spam Raids, X wings and Y wings
For the Consortium
-Corrupt everything
-Use all your heroes in raids(they are undetectable)
Don’t forget corruption. Just bribe yourself an entire army.
With a space station you need to throw your units at the enemy. Do everything you can to keep the garrison bay safe.
Ive played this game for years.. what is a garrison bay??
@@ericdraven7185 launch bay
Hangar*
@@Konfektionery But anyway once you have your units out sent them to the enemy. Don't worry about losses as they will be infinitely replaced.
@@MrMarinus18 This is a tactic I commonly use myself, good for scouting and eliminating bombers early.
The reply was more in response to the general thread, I believe they're just called "Hangars" in game but I play so little attention to the micro details these days that I could just be wrong.
I'm playing the latest version of Fall of the Republic and that mod is an absolute blast! Modding community has kept this game going long past i's shelf-life.
When developing makes the next gen games more laid back and cinematic focusing on the buildup (almost movie like) giving the player time to get settled! For me thats where its at! Everything else follows!
I was browsing around and saw this game again. I had brought it years ago but couldn't download it. I got it within the last 3 years, but barely touched it. This is a good guide to helping me get into this game. I love RTS, and i love Star Wars. So thanks for this video ^~^
Dude! I literally just re-downloaded it again. The past 2 days I’ve been playing this a lot. Its good fun especially if you get mods. Currently running a Republic at war mode
The final bit really got me, good vid well made
I've been playing this game since 2013, Disk version. Gonna buy the steam version to play mods.
New to the game and am loving it! Was gifted by a friend. Great review!
Nice video, I myself have over 400+ hours playing this and can mostly agree with everything in this video
Thank you very much i really needed this guide Much Love & Respect
Nice vid, I particularly enjoy guide videos and I thought this one was very week made.
Excellent and informative video. subbed and like.
appreciate it!
@@HardmodeEnabled I like your work ^^ You got a sub ;-)
@@julonkrutor4649 Thanks! ^_^
Cool. Just what I was looking for
Wow! That is very good video guide about EaW.
awesome! :)
God I love this game and great vid btw
“It’s beautiful”
Splendid!
the one issiue i have with most of the bigger mods is that they turn the game into something way more complex, but do a bad job acctually properly explaining to the player how the mechanics work.
watch youtube videos of the game, it will help with better understanding it.
That and I've person had to edit mods myself because some of them are so big not everything gets balanced as it should. Remake is the main example, their Keldabe is so weak yet is costs more then ships that overpower it in combat.
There are soe total conversion but I tend to find most mods are Space Mods, example is the only 40k conversion Fire in the Sky which is the Space mod and the factions are Imperial Chaos and Necrons.
I wish the 40K mods were more developed, most got abandoned early on but I do think that with the recent resurgence of EAW - more will be developed in the future.
can't wait to see one like this but with the clone wars mod
I'm gonna say it: This is the best star wars game and it's a crime that it doesn't have a sequel.
the only rts i played up till a month ago was a game called rusted warfare, i stoped playing empire at war because it was more advance then i thought, after seeing this im going to try it again (i sadly got the gog ver)
Personally, I like this video over the Spiral Knights one. That may be my bias on display, though.
Turrets are persistent. Conquer space and planets with defense mentality, not push mentality.
x6-8 fighters, and x9-12 bombers with a level 1-2 station can hold off huge fleets. Capital ships suck vs small ships. Build missile turrets near the starbase, then all fighter/bomber defense everywhere else.
On the ground land artillery first. AI can rush the lz with vehicles and infantry on highest difficulty. Artillery can wipe them out.
You can build x2 heavy vehicle factories, then remove the buildings that were needed to unlock them. Build something else.
Oh, and load up credit fluctuating planets with credit buildings only. Los is average, high rng is huge.
Wish I could get this game to work on my PC had so much fun playing it as a kid.
Asking around on the Steam community forums regarding your issue.
Letsgoooooooooo!
"No corruption-at least not yet."
Trust me sir, if the stories I've heard are even partially true, you're going to have a "fun" time dealing with the Zann Consortium.
This was an AWESOME game. The only problem I had with this game is that the story campaign(s) contradicted the movies, which made it difficult - for me - to pinpoint to where the game could fit in the (Legends) continuity. Doesn't mean I didn't had fun with it though. I do hope another RTS like this one is going to be made soon (preferable only space battles; with ground battles only being mandatory for story missions).
The empire campaign is non-canon.
The rebel campaign and the FOC campaign are canon within the EU.
I’m absolute shit at this game but I do love it
I have been playing this game for years lol.
Cool video, to the point and well structured. Only thing i don't know is how you come to the conclusion of Y-Wings being superior to Tie Bombers, when Y-Wings have only 75% of the firepower and around 2/3 of the HP. Don't think a 2-second soft disable compensates that. What do you think?
I based my statement off the mutliplayer games I had back in the day. Statistically yes, the Y-Wing is weaker, however the stun ability really can halt an advance. Maybe it's just my luck with the unit.
@@HardmodeEnabled Fair enough! If you want to get back into multiplayer, i recommend joining the EaW Community Discord
@@lanyschannel I will be sure to do that. Problem is I haven't gotten around getting the steam version yet. I have a bunch of disk versions of both EAW and FOC.
@@HardmodeEnabled Then that's a big TODO if you wanna play multiplayer :)
My favourite ground assault force.... at-at and at-aa
splendid😅
Hardmode Enabled (or any EAW veteran for that matter) do you have any advice on how to get started? As a complete newcomer to this game with its community of new mods and having never played before, where should I look? I don't know a thing about how to manage a galaxy, or which units are good against what. This is all very overwhelming, and this video is the closest I've seen to what I'm looking for (the in-game tutorial isn't enough to get going). I know this is an old game but is there an extended guide to teach galactic conquest for young padawans such as myself? Also is the original campaign a good way to learn? Personally I'd jump straight into fall of the republic but I get destroyed everytime. Thanks!
yeah, I actually recommend getting started with the campaigns first. As fall of the republic is very aggressive. The game it self is actually very simple compared to other games, no gimmick mechanics, no politics, you just build, fight and manage your credits while doing so.
Thanks! Will do :)
Do you know if heroes can die permanently in empire at war forces of corruption? I can’t find my c3p0 and he’s nowhere on the hero list. Perhaps he died one too many times? I can’t see him recharging.
in some mods yes, in base game no
does anyone know how to install the fall of the republic mod?
_*Good._
"Assault civilian structures"
I love warcrimes...
conquer the stars
Where can you build research facilities on planet Bc I don’t have the option
you need Tarkin on that planet, can't build them in the campaign
I can never figure out how to get a freaking research facility going..
I think you can only build it where moff tarkin is
Step 1: choose zann consortium. Step 2: profit
So how do undetectable ground bases work?
exactly how you think, the enemy cant see what you have on the ground even if they send a scout unit.
All of this is pretty useless when you're going against even a semi competent consortium player.
"Build SSD, build 15 ISDS, build missile cruisers. Get rekt by ships which complete bypass shields."
yeah, corruption forces were always annoying.
@@HardmodeEnabled
Any advice on how to beat them when they're used by a human?
@@spiffygonzales5899 Well, you could Spam the Tie Defender!!!
@@spiffygonzales5899 Not much really, the entire factions "weakness" is that pound for pound the ZC units are more expensive, but that's hardly a problem if the ZC player can last to the mid-late game. Compound that with the bonuses that corruption gives, and you have a faction that you can only win against if the other player is brain dead.
There's a reason there are mods that either remove the Consortium or just flat out replace them with other, more balanced factions.
0:26 where is the cutscene from?
End of galactic conquest
Okay, this is the 3rd person to say raids can be done with 3 units but I can only ever get 2 down
Was something changed with FoC?
possibly, played it on disk
I can't pick your accent its amazing. You're either British trying to hide it or Baltimore.
Yeah, I get that a lot. English is just one of a few languages I know. Haven't really lived in an English speaking country close to a decade now.
6:17 I know I’m probably late as hell when asking this but what if the AI comes out through those fields, then what?
They loose the ability to use their Unit Ability and they become invisible to you while located there, unless they start shooting.
how can i select more units before spawning them? so like i select 5 venators and spawn them at once instead of drag each one itself
Click the pause button next to the cinematic cam button.
@@HardmodeEnabled yes that work, but i mean i forgot the keys so i can click 5 times on a unit and spawn them all at once. thank you for the quick answer bro! (my english is bad im sorry thats not my native language)
Does anyone know of a good video or guide to how auto resolve works?
don't use it, you will loose a super star destroyer to a single x-wing group.
@@HardmodeEnabled Sounds like I should use X wings. Lol.
9:50 LOL
how to land on planets
Best mods are Fall of the Republic and Thrawns Revenge
Hello friend, I'm playing galactica conquest against a friend but I can't make the capital ships. I reach the maximum tech level but they never appear.
you can only build them on specific planets
@@HardmodeEnabled oh, how do i know what planet they are on?
Complete Objectivly the best game of all time ever for ever 😊
Will this run on my 5-8yo laptop and could i mod it?
The base game will work fine - mods it depends - you gotta give it a try
Clone infinit ground infantry, then just auro resolve
Does this game have the executor
yeah, you can even see one during the expansion segment
Does the gold version support mods?
Steam Gold Pack yes, the OG and GOG versions only support old mods. I recommend getting the Steam Version.
@@HardmodeEnabled OK I got the steam gold pack so should be good
@@arandomsquidward7761 I’m pretty sure the gold version is the only steam version
is it bad that i only have the game for the Clone Wars era mods lol
RIP Disk users, like me, because my game can't even open it's launcher
right clicking on the launcher after getting the disk in and running it in admin mode should fix it.
@@HardmodeEnabled so, i tried your suggestion, still didn't work for some reason
@@faye61 activate that same key on steam
@@marcus760 i don't have the steam version
I really wish I played this game before the brain damage it looks insanely fun but it's far too much for my motor skills to process now times like this I do get kinda sad
not all is lost, the game has a built in pause button - so that you can observe the battlefield before taking action.
bro played too much genshin impact
Tyber Zann is Han Solo if Han Solo was evil.
I used to EaW, & FoC many years ago! Loved FoC! But, still to this day, I'm mad!! I won the battle for Alderaan, & destroyed the Death Star! But, somehow Alderaan was still destroyed!! Not fair!! I know it's not "to lore", but why not be able to save the planet??
Sounds like you're reading a script. Reading with marshmallows in your mouth.
Ah well..
..
that's basically it.
Fighters and bombers are borderline useless if the enemy has even just one corvette. This isn’t a big deal when playing as the empire, because your fighters are free. But when you’re the Rebels, your starting units are mostly just X-wings and Y-wings, while the Empire starts off with like 10 Tarten cruisers, you’ll end up throwing your keyboard at the wall. And never use fighters or bombers again. The Empire AI literally sends their Tartens through your line to take out your starfighters right at the start.
Build Corellian Gunships.
That will solve your Tartan problem.
@@MatthewChenault I see what you mean, but by the time the gunship destroys the tartan, it usually has enough time to take out several squadrons of fighters/bombers. Not to mention that gunships cost twice the amount of credits to that of a tartan.
What kinda accent is that? Seth Effrican?
Bruhhh this game deserve another one it looks amazing star wars has so much potencial but Disney only cares about the rey skywalker saga bullshit insted of the games
the game is easy as fuck just invest into economy then create a fleet for every front scout for the weakest planets then attack if ai tries to take it back hold on ground if the ai destroys spaces station just have a bigger fleet
