STAR WARS™ Empire at War: Gold Pack

Empire at War Remake 3.5 Revisited
BigCheese256  [developer] Sep 2, 2023 @ 4:52am
Minor Update 3.2 - Changelog
- Parity with all recent Clone War Holdouts updates, dating back to July 7th. Full changelogs, additions and credits can be found here: https://discord.com/channels/327563463952171009/1022651014408589402/1126998640079155291

- All Clone War specific heroes from CWH have been added. While it is strange having General Grievous and Anakin Skywalker fighting Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in the Galactic Civil War, I see 3.5 Revisited as more of a sandbox and since more content and units is always a good thing, they have been added.
- Fire range buffs/debuffs removed from new heroes to avoid ship spinning/pathfinding problems.
- CW Venator heroes face their targets and can fire their HTLs forwards.
- Some CW hero text tooltip changes, V-19 Torrent garrisons replaced with Clone Z-95's.
- New icon added for the Servator.
- Addition of the Victory-II Frigate, buildable at tech level 2 anywhere by Empire, Warlords and Republic. Cross-buildable by other factions from Republic worlds. More details and credits here: https://discord.com/channels/327563463952171009/1096551079119962193/1133378097752834098
- CIS livery version of the CIS hero Venator and Geonosian Cruiser added. More details and credits here: https://discord.com/channels/327563463952171009/1096551079119962193/1127378465730089070




General Changes and Refit System

- Random starting forces for major factions slightly increased, Warlords decreased.
- Victory-II frigate added to pool of random starting forces for Republic, Empire, Warlords and Pirates.
- Anti-crash dummy planets added for all minor factions on all campaigns.
- CIS livery is now applied to all CIS ships cross-built by other factions - unpainted versions removed.
- Kadalbe Battleship now buildable at tech level 2 for Mandalorians, tech level 3 for other factions.

- First prototype of the refit system has been added, currently only for the Sith, Mandalorians and Hapes due to their low ship numbers.
+ "Refit" ships are upgraded and more powerful versions of certain ships available 2 tech levels above their standard counterparts. Refits can also include mass-produced versions of hero ships.
+ "Refit" ships are scaled to be 20% larger than the base version and indicated with a double chevron on their icon. They provide a passive 25% bonus to all friendly same-faction fighter/bomber/gunship statistics in battle.
+ "Refit" ships are not cross-buildable - they are faction specific.

Current "Refit" ships include:

- Nova Cruiser, with more powerful shields, faster shield regen and faster firing rate.
- Battledragon, replacing it's missiles with torpedoes, stronger hull and shield strength and faster firing rate.
- Sith Interdictor, with an invulnerable gravity well generator, faster fire-rate on it's turbolasers and 2 turbolaser banks replaced with ion cannons.
- Centurion Battlecruiser, with much stronger shields and the "full salvo" power-to-weapons ability.
- Mandalorian Venator, a mass-produced version of the hero ship.
- Kandosii, with a double-size hangar, faster firing turbolaser turrets, improved missiles and improved Beskar.
- Kyramud, with improved beskar, hull and shield strength, faster firing ion cannons and a double-size hangar.
- Kadalbe Battleship, with the rapid fire mass drivers and improved beskar of the hero version.

This system, if people like it and it is successful, will be a applied to Republic and CIS ships in the future. Let me know what you think!

Hero Rework

- A number of minor faction heroes are now provided by scripts based on tech level, as they were in Remake 4.0/CWH and for the major factions. Which tech level each is available at has been rebalanced for 3.5 Revisited - some may come sooner or later than you may be used to.
- All heroes that can be purchased are now considered major heroes - once they die they go on the respawn timer when killed and only need to be purchased once.
- Corvette heroes are back after being broken by the corvette squadron rework! This includes Princess Leia, Jak Kanadee, Talon Karrde and newcomer Obi Wan Kenobi (Clone War).
- Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade have been re-added as single-fighter heroes.
- Apailana's Acclamator now upgrades to the ISD, removing the Acclamator.
- Kalani pop cap usage reduced (1 CIS supply ship + 5 Munificents).
- Harkov pop cap usage increased (1 Victory + 4 Nebulon B's).



- Fixed buildable heroes having no build limit.
