STAR WARS Empire at War - Gold Pack review
by Top Dawger

If you like space RTS, you should try this one. While it’s based on Star Wars, the game supports mods, so the theme can be changed if you want. I like the community of the game - small but very nice and supportive. Well, it’s hard to explain why this game is so good, so better try it.

The best Star Wars Strategy game, there is none more that comes closer to the Movies than this Game here, the Units (Vehicles, Spaceships) and also the Planets are very detailed although some Vehicles that are not available in the Game do not occur in the Movies at all, but You probably had to fill in some gaps here because of balancing Issues, also the Sound effects and the Soundtrack are identical from the Movies, all of this Together adds up to a great Star Wars feel. I do not think the New Rasse/-based consortium that has been added to the game with the Addon, they have never heard of before and, in my Opinion, they have not lost anything in the Game, and I would have clearly preferred the Groups here; Added Trade Federation and Galactic Republic, which would suit more and above all I would much rather play with them a Space battle or Ground Battle, even if that would not fit the same from the Era, but still a Significantly better Choice than this comical Consortium faction. Also the Choice of Mods is very wide, so there are great Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Mass Effect, EVE, Halo, Warhammer 40K and many more Mods that expand the Game great, who has always been a gigantic Scifi Battle ala Star Wars vs Star Trek vs Battlestar Galactitca vs Stargate wanted to make is just right here. The Game is a Must have for any Star Wars Fan (who still shouldn't have it to this day)! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Alliance http://www.moddb.com/mods/foc-alliance-22x/downloads/foc-alliance-47b The Mod contains a Lot of new Units from the Complete Star Wars Universe (not only from the Movies), with the Mod it is now also possible to play with the Trade Federation, Galactic Republic and Black Sun, in addition, The Unit Limit has been increased so that you can finally get huge spaceship yacht ground battles Can play. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Battlestar Galactica Http://www.moddb.com/mods/battlestar-galactica-colonial-wars/downloads who ever wanted to play a Battle against the Cyylons. _____________________________________________________________ Mass Effect http://www.moddb.com/mods/mass-effect-at-war/downloads Toller Mod mit Raumschiffen aus Mass Effect _____________________________________________________________ Republic at War http://www.moddb.com/mods/republic-at-war/downloads Republic at War ist ein Clone Wars Mod der Einheiten aus den Filmen und der Cartoon Serie, es werden hier die standard Fraktionen (Imperium, Rebellen) durch die Clone Wars Fraktionen (Republik, Handelsföderation) ersetzt, aber For this, the Mod offers a Lot of great Units from the Clone War. _______________________________________________________________________________

There are many better games made at the same time - for example, Starcraft or Dawn of War. Empire at War isn’t awful or unplayable but it could be better. Here you have units and make them attack targets like in many other strategies - so why should you choose this one particularly? Sometimes players mention the Zann Consortium mod as quite easy one but in fact it’s broken. So better play the main campaign - or don’t play the game at all. IMHO, it isn’t worth its money.

As for me, it’s a good strategy, though I’m not a huge fan of the genre. Star Wars fans will be pleased with a large amount of content with two campaigns, spaceships you can blow up and other great stuff like using the Force. We also have mods there, so I can advise you to try the Republic at War - it’s a high-quality unofficial DLC, actually.
