Chandler Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Phoenix Rising Website Forums Mod DB Phoenix Rising is a partial conversion for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. After more than eight months of development, I'm proud to finally announce we are ready for our first release. If you haven't heard of us before, the goal of our mod is to provide a unique strategic experience within the Galaxy. To that end, we have developed an asynchronous tech tree. Not only will you be tested tactically, you will also be pressed to keep up in the technological race that characterizes war. From our About page: If you had the power to stop tyranny, would you? Or would you crush those who threaten the peace? Phoenix Rising brings you to the waning days of the Galactic Republic and gives you that choice. Help the Galactic Empire to bring order to the galaxy, or aid the Alliance to Restore the Republic in its struggle for freedom. Command your armies and navies in an accurate and captivating depiction of battle. Highly technical readouts allow for instantaneous ascertainment of individual unit strengths and weaknesses in eight statistical categories. Deploy your forces where they are most advantageous to excel in combat. But to win the war, you must master not only strategy, but technology. Direct the greatest minds of a generation to propel your war effort forward by researching innovative new designs, or by improving old ones. The asynchronous tech tree allows you to choose in which areas you would like to specialize without forcing the research of all. You decide how the galaxy will emerge from the ashes of the Clone Wars. The Phoenix Rising Starfighter Mini-Mod will be available to download for public testing at midnight GMT-5 on Monday, April 23, 2007. As the name implies, this version will include the asynchronous tech tree fully implemented for fighters and bombers. However, as all the elements of space combat from the final version are already in place, this will essentially be a mini-mod in name only. Here is the final tech tree and ship list for the Mini-Mod: Alliance Fighter: Z-95 Headhunter ― T-65 X-wing ― R-22 Spearhead / RZ-1 A-wing ― E-wing Bomber: BTL Y-wing ― B-wing ― BTL K-wing Transport: Barloz-class Medium Freighter ― Gamma-class ATR Assault Transport Freighter: GR-75 Medium Transport Corvette: CR90 Corvette ― DP20 Gunship Frigate: EF Nebulon-B Escort Frigate ― CC-9600 Frigate Cruiser: Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser ― CC-7700 Frigate ― Dodonna-class Assault Frigate Battleship: Republic-class Star Destroyer Capital: Liberty-class MC80 Star Cruiser Dreadnought: Independence-class MC120 Star Cruiser Empire Fighter: T.I.E.

CLONECOMMANDER501 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If I still played EAW/FOC, I would definately have downloaded this mod with an iron fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 You still have the CDs though, don't you? You should try it out; it doesn't play like EaW (Version 1.0 definitely won't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLONECOMMANDER501 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hmm, do you think you can make it so that soilders do a chant and raise their weapons when they win the battle? I thought I saw that when I first played EAW, it may be hidden somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 There are supposed to be animations on some units that trigger when you kill an AT-AT, but I'm not sure how functional they are. I can't really say since I haven't started the ground revamp yet, but if they used to exist, I'm sure they can be reactivated. You know how Stormtroopers stand at attention when they are near Vader or Palpatine? What I could do, just for laughs, is make the Rebels cheer endlessly when Luke is around though, LOL.

CLONECOMMANDER501 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Phoenix, I suggest in v.2 you should use a batch files, to avoid questions like that. If the empire just got a new toy, they are going to need a new a whhhhhhoooooooollllllllllllleeeeeee new toybox. Oh, about the music, I edited the song: The Love Pledge and made it so it was the March to the temple theme. Sorry if I'm confusing, music editing is a bit confusing.
