One turn left and I would have been about to escape with prisoner and no damage. Vader came in the view. Killed two character, gravely wounded two and captured one solider. Yeah, this is a must have mod

Jesus Vader is impossible. He downed 5/6 soldiers first time i encountered him.

How do you change the stats of these rulers, for example how long emperor's mind control lasts?

Twice I started the first mission to hunt the viper king.. and both times the game crashed.. Definitely the current conversion that exists doesn't work.. and this mod doesn't work either..
I remember that a long time ago there was a mod that combined everything into one and it worked, but I don't remember what it is

This mod is broken. Jade's animations are that of the Viper Kings, and Palpatine can not be targeted with free aiming skills, and can only be targeted with aiming skills, and half the time you cant even aim at him.

Sidious cosmetics and others from this mod are available in Imperial Surplus; the exception being Darth Vader who can be found in a standalone mod by Cavily (see description for link).

is there a mod for the Darth Sidious model?

For some reason, one of them is just a red zabrak with Dooku's saber...

I really like this mod, however, biggest con of it is the difficulty which is completely messed up. On my experience Mara Jade was a nice challenge, Vader was really hard, and Palpatine was 100% bullshit. I strongly advise against using it on ironman, because I assure you, this mod will ruin your run.

Ive encountered all 3 at facilities, and they all teleported away, i haven't encountered them again, anyone know why? Ive played SEVERAL months with no encounters.

MeatsOfEvil sold me.... im going in

Killing Darth vader by Darth vader... 10/10

Subscribed without looking at any of the pictures to go w/ my Empire campaign. Nearly shit myself when Darth Vader showed up in a mission. 10/10 would shit self again

strange but the mod wouldnt appear to me

I'm not completely familiar with legends material, but as far as i'm aware, Mara Jade was a Jedi. She may have started as a sith assassin but she did become a jedi (Though, that is after palpatine's death. So it does make sense i guess)

Can this be used with the CIS Advent Replacer?

Palpatine needs to be toned down. He deflected 6 out of 10 shots. Ruined my current campaign. I can't recommend the mod in it's current state with Palpatine so strong. Mara Jade was appropriately difficult. I'd love to know where I can tweak the deflect chance in the code

Awesome mod but needs to be toned down abit, ended my legendary ironman runs twice

Mara Jade was a good challenge. I haven't encountered Vader yet. I encountered Sideous for the first time and he was so OP it took the fun out of it. Once, I attacked him with my Templar, but apparently he is immune to melee (or I got unlucky) and he can counter attack when you try to melee, then Ruler Reaction after that. Dead Templar. Reload. Another time, as a Ruler Reaction he pulled in my Skirmisher which procced the Skirmishers Retribution, but this triggered his reaction which killed the Skirmisher. Reload. Twice he mind controlled the Skirmisher and AOE stunned the rest of the party leading to a wipe. But the thing that kills me more than all of this is his deflect chance. I hate deflect chances and his seems really high. Half of my attacks were getting deflected. When a ruler has Reactions that strong, seeing attacks get deflected again and again completely drained the fun out of it.

I love this but seeing Mara Jade always makes me rage at Disney for making her non-canon.

I love this but hate fighting against the good guys, #Empiredidnothingwrong

Something like this but replacing the Chosen would be really cool. Considering what the sequel trilogy did, Palpatine just coming back to life after ending him is a thing now. And no, I'm not sorry for saying so.

Even better!

Yep. It would.

Sounds cool, will it have the same stance/idle that the codexes use in this mod when equiped (since it is a primary weapon)?

I hadn't originally planned on making the Lightning "weapon" XCOM usable but, now that you mention it, I can see how it could be useful. I'll probably do it as a separate release from Imperial Surplus though.

This mod DOES work with Disable Rulers reaction: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1859057750&searchtext=no+ruler

Tested it against Vader and it works well, seems like they get an extra action point or 2 but if you use both mods they feel more like the chosen which is a plus for those who player with raider faction (because alternate faction/teams constantly trigger rulers reaction).

Also the ruler random chance / unpredictable appearance mod(s).
I assume it will work with the rulers regeneration mod to further help makeup for the lack of their reaction but will test later.

yo, that trello library is awesome!

@roland3710

The weapons will be included right? I like that primary weapon the sith/codex (when. I mind control them) uses that fires the volts/lightning as a basic attack. Really need a primary like that!

that's all i need :p

They'll be cosmetic options only.

wow, great news! looking forward to it

@roland3710
Will it be like your Eldar/dark Eldar cosmetics mods where there are actual armors and weapons with special stats/abilities or just the average cosmetic pack?

It was just always my experience in vanilla that the Rulers were a much greater challenge than the Chosen. The Red Guards will only appear when accompanying the Emperor but ability-wise they're similar to the Sith Warriors in the main A2E mod.

I am working on Cosmetic versions of a lot of the models in A2E and am planning for Palpatine to be among them. Probably not as a standalone mod though.

Titanfall Pilots vs Palpis def canon now lol

I use advent to CIS, so it would be nice to have Palpatine as a squadmate

Sidious standalone??

Mara Jade 10/10, Disney missed out.

Mara <333333

Are the red guards in the base mod, or are they limited to the emperor (or all 3 of these ones)

Also, I feel like given that the mod currently changes the chosen, we'd be fine with some strange dialog and animations.
Bit curious as to why you feel like the chosen are weaker, after all, you guys are able to change the stats and abilities, right?

I haven't tested how this interacts with other Chosen mods so I really couldn't say.

There are a number of reasons these characters are implemented as Ruler rather than Chosen replacers including issues related to dialog, animations and also just that, at least in my opinion, the Rulers are the most powerful and most challenging enemies in the game so I wanted to save these characters for this particular category of enemies.

Would love to see an option to have these 3 replace the Chosen instead, that way we could get them and the bounty hunters, its such a hard choice otherwise, since they both look so amazing. also, how do these work with mods that change the rulers (such as the mod that gives them normal turns but with more action points)

is there a star wars mod list out there?

It's nice to see Mara Jade get some love. Ever since the sequels started coming out, it's felt like everyone forgot about her.

Yes. It's a strong possibility.

Any chance for Darth Sidious cosmetic release?
