Remake or Awakening of the Rebellion?

[Augustus St. Cloud]

Is there a general consensus as to which of these mods is better? I've tried both, but I'm trying to decide which one I want to spend most of my time on. Compatibility on older hardware is my main concern (I use a laptop until I save enough for a beefy desktop).
Any suggestions?

Remake is good if you would like the game looking like it's from 2018/19. Awakening of the Rebellion si for people who like to manage a lot in galactic conquest and is not really for beginners.

I've played the remake and playing awakening and I have to say...
Remake is very very very attractive in terms of beginner-friendliness and graphics, best UI, best models, best way to get into the game.
Awakening is super super interesting since it has alot of options and units. It's very diverse and harder to get into. The AI is relatively superhuman compared to the remake's AI which means alot in offline games.

In the end, start with remake, move onto other bigger mods. Only problem with remake is that it has no interesting additional mechanics, missions run dry and it has this sluggish feel when you captured half the galaxy in Galaxy Conquest.

No...? Lol what game are you playing. I have a med to high tier PC and I get 60 fps just fine. Only five fps when I'm speeding up the game with the fast forward button to save time. But that's the same on other mods so it isn't a remake problem.
EaW Remake is easy to run with 60 fps. Check your specs bro.

You're full of crap

1060 6GB, 4770k, 16gb ram reporting in. Roughly 10 fps when units pile up in Remake mod, roughly 20-30 fps in menu. I’d avoid Remake like the plague if I were you

i5-7300HQ, 1050 4GB, 16gb ram here. Horrible fps in lategame (everything looks like it's in slow motion). I've tried lowering the graphics, setting up dual core, capping the fps at 60 using OSD, setting task priority to high and nothing works.
