Anonymous10/12/25, 15:52No.2170163Empire at War: are Sith not that good?
All guides i find online write that Darth Vader is one man army super unit that can take planets in ground battle at his lonesome, but i found him to be too underwhelming. what he is great blaster magnet and that's it. Emperor is kinda weak as well. Jedi hero on other hand are all fucking OP as hell. Kenobi can auto heal, is tanky as hell, way more tankier than vader anyway, Luke is very fast and you can turn invisible and run away if he's low on HP, and yoda IIRC can auto heal as well. General Veers is Empire's MVP of ground combat. he can spam units and his range is almost like artillery unit. and how you use Boba Fett in ground combat? his jetpack is good if you need to run away, but other than his flamethrower, he's just bit tankier stormtrooper (against anything other than infantry, he's useless)

what always irritated me is how the Emperor can just swing at a building with a lightsaber and take it down quickly, while Vader goes into building force choke stance that sloooooooooooooooowly lowers the HP to the point where I'd rather have stormtroopers shoot at the thing and do something else with Vader

Anons just installed the game (gold pack) which mod(s) should I start? From a quick scan I found that there are mods for either the Clone Wars period or even Revan's time. So which one would you recommend?

My recommendations are more simple. If you completed vanilla, then i would recommend Republic at War. its similar to vanilla, but both factions feel and play as mix of Empire and Rebels. both republic and Separatists have powerful fleets and ground forces, but both factions have multiple units capable of doing raids, so as a whole, mod feels like Vanila+ as play is in bigger maps (50-100+ planets) but whole layout is similar to vanilla (republic usually starts out with inner systems, like Empire, and CiS start with control of outer rims (like rebels). Another one is Rise of the Mandalorians. its another vanilla + mod but set in alternative post endor timeline. you have Empire remnants, New Republic and Mandalorians (which basically replace Zann consortium, minus its corruption BS) and last one to recommend is Rise of the Crimelords. basically its vanilla ++. everyone has eight tiers of tech instead of five. major focus on mod is instad of zann consortium, you have 3 criminal syndicates (Hutts, Black sun, and last one i cant remember but it was Zann's faction, but not consortium). Empire and rebels have major overhauls but it still feels like vanilla (no major economy overhauls or like)

Vanilla: does Luke and Yoda regenerate out of combat or is it only obi wan? Do sith heroes (Emperor and Vader) drain health in combat? i read somewhere in manual that they are supposed to drain enemies health in combat but it seems i need to park them near bacta tank for healing (same with luke) Also, do Vanilla Thrawn has anything special going on? as it seems its just modified Star Destroyer, thats powerful to be sure, but still inferior to Admiral Piett's SD?

IIRC you can edit hero respawn times in some game config files. i remember i added respawn time is New Jedi Order mod, as it was based on Thrawns revenge, as such killed off heroes stayed dead. I would not recommend it though, as mods that have disabled hero respawn usually bug out after some time if you enable respawn. I know Thrawns revenge worked off scripts for defeating warlords, but I dont recall if anything similar was in New Jedi Order mod.

Mod for the mod EAWX https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3711433343With the new Proteus system you can play as minor Imperial warlords. But the minor warlords have the same ship and land roster as the Imperial Remnant which makes them a bit boring.This mod gives each of the dozens of minor warlords a more unique ground and space roster.Google doc with listed warlords and roster:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O1PfMpgP9tFhqAU0pVgCSG-4nkbRrLaLRFT-GzJGPs0/edit?tab=t.0

Vanilla: is using Boba Fett for bounty or Han Solo for smuggle worth it? I mean using them sounds ok if you aren't planning anything for a while, but I noticed I get attacked more just when I use their campaign map ability and not having them available for space battles kinda hurts. And is it me, or their special abilities are kinda bad? Han's smuggle is good for quick buy of ship, but that's about it, and Boba can take out General Radius Home One or that hover tank, but you can do that in battle easily by using your own Uber Hero units like AT-AT or Thrawn/Piett
