I recently started playing it for the first time and so far it's been a blast. You guys should be all over this.

Base game or the mod?

Ha, Star Wars?Sorry, but I do not play games targetted at pre-teenage children.

Star Wars is a bitch of a product because every company interested in doing vidya on it needs to pay Disney. Its like Warhammer games are to Games Workshop but worse since the company behind it is quite powerful. I wish we could have a first person RPG in a proper open world space+ground environment based on it (basically an improved version of outlaws which is "meh") but I know it will never happen due to the steep cost of royalties/fees. These products are usually overly simplistic in order to cut costs. I think only Jedi Academy and the recent Jedi series kinda stood out (both action games and jedi centered). The upcoming Zero Company game also seems interesting but its turn based.

The game doesn't play around. Trade confederation campaign mission 3 tasks me to destroy several bases with the shielded fortresses in them. And I can't get to tech level 4 to build cannons, which are the only units capable of adequately dealing with them. What the fuck?

On paper, this game features some very strong defenses. You can't really attack the buildings until tech level 3 and even then your options are pretty limited, the really heavy hitters do not arrive until tech level 4. You can't just attack buildings with the troops, because they practically deal no damage to them and there's a decent selection of the buildings that can fight back, and they are pretty good at it, allowing them to easily dispatch any unprepared forces. I have no issues with it; it’s just different from Warcraft and C&C series, where even the basic units can destroy bases pretty quickly. Although, I have no idea how it works in practice against the real players, because I’ve only played against AI in the campaigns.

What's also worth noting is that for some reason there are no ranged ships that are effective against other ships. The only naval unit that is effective against it’s own kind is the destroyer, it’s a ship that attacks in melee, like a pummel, but it’s significantly faster and less durable. If you want to kill ships from range you have to either bring in the aircraft or assault mechs, or some faction specific units that are effective against vehicles, like droidekas.

SWGB is better than AoE2 and should have gotten the DE treatment.Also Trade Federation best faction.

Done with the trade federation campaign. That last mission was a bit of a grind with limited resources. The beginning is pretty scary, because you get attacked by large forces, but have jack shit to defend with.

Almost reached the end of the Republic campaign (where you find that derelict base) and just kinda lost the drive to continue. The Republic campaign was not very fun anyway. Trade Fed was kino, as it really felt like conquering a planet as the bad guys.

I got hyped up from the thread and installed the base game. Jesus Christ what's up with custom wookie portraits.

That trade federation bonus mission was pretty fun, I hope there'll be more stuff like that in the following campaigns. Overall, it was good at making you feel evil, you invade a bunch of hippies to pillage and subjugate them, and then squat with your throne on top of their bones. I want to try Vader's campaign next.
