There is a huge amount of new data from the demo to full version...

[dw333]

Star Wars: Civil War, is underway!

 

First release by Tuesday will include over 100 planets with trade routes (with interdiction/assembly areas), data editing (scale, damages, movement, special abilities, numbers, costs, build times, hardpoints, etc, basically everything), many many more units (but no new models), text edits and additions for everything new and old!

 

So much, need to get to work, will post a formal document later, before release.

Wow...the Death Star is really fun to watch!!! Kaboom!

[Nevets]

Wait, there is data for 100 planets on there?

 

and there is no new models to add in game, like the venator?

[akulapanam]

Venator's in, as are Pod Walkers, and Swamp Speeders.

[WhiteSkull]

nev moders can add a unlimted amount of planets the devs stated.

 

Also if he adds in like vic 1 2 and 3 and ISD 1 2 etc.. type units he can reuse skins and just add new weapon/hp/shield numbers.

i'd like to see a few things in the next few days (small mods to entertain while we wait)

 

1. all rebellion planets (at the very least) - should be VERY easy to do.

 

2. start the game a bit earlier techwise where venator, at-pt pod walkers, and vwings aren't useless.

[kingdark]

agrees:because i wont use the older fighters, i use only x and the bombers

[akulapanam]

The problem with adding planets is that without the map maker you have to reuse maps, which in my mind, defeats the point. Also Kamino is a planet that exists but is not enabled in the 43 planet galactic conquest. 

 

Some planets like Bespin and Kamino need ground maps.

[Foshjedi2004]

For kamino just use the Mon Cal Ground Map

[Shadowtrooper]

Perhaps, but I think it may still be better for it to have a unique map.  Just my two cents.  :-\

 

P.S.  Does anyone have the collector ed?  I believe it has more maps.  Just curious as to whether or not it's got maps for planets like kamino.  (I can hope right?)

[Nevets]

nev moders can add a unlimted amount of planets the devs stated.

 

Yea, but what is the point of doing that if all the maps are the same?

 

For kamino just use the Mon Cal Ground Map

 

Kamino I think may be harder to do even with a map editior. It has to be lifted up off the gorund below. Would have been nice if they had Bespin in, just change cloud city to the one on Kamino, and change the gound to blue.

[dw333]

what i meant was i have added a total of 50+ planets, and working on unit data for 50+ more units. will need to reuse models until they can be imported into game. that kind of sucks, but its all i/we/anyone can do right now!

 

New update, i have I'mportant crap to do (personal), so now im looking at Thursday or Friday, maybe wendsday for 1st basic release!

It would be cool to have a "Rebellion" mod.

 

- build times dramatically increased,

- prices dramatically increased,

- maintenance economy,

- MORE (a lot more) characters and the ability for them to make missions... like sabotage installations.

- Popular support feature, influencing the garrisons necessities...

 

Ah... Forget it. Rebellion is so far ahead of EAW... Why is video games industry is going backward ? Don't answaer that, I know.

I'll second that. Though sadly I'd be suprised if it were even possible to hack-mod the last two features into EaW, but admittedly I haven't checked every square inch of the whole mod support thing.

[Nevets]

I suppose Lok and Mustafar wont be that hard to mod in.
