The unique part is the way battlestars utilize and shoot flak fields, thus eliminating enemy missiles and fighters caught. Most ship weapons are broadside, and missiles are a major backbone of warfare. What really intrigues me about this mod in particular is the combat redesign, that accurately aligns with how battles took place in BSG. Battlestar nerds rejoice, we haven’t been forgotten. This includes (with the heroes setting on) the iconic Jupiter Class Battlestar – Galactica herself, and even the Mercury class Pegasus.

That being said, let’s detail a few of my favorite total conversion mods available for Star Wars: Empire at War, and Forces of Corruption.

With the lively and still active modding community, why should we be restricted to what it was, and not what it could be? There are so many incredible options at our fingertips, why not experience the best Empire at War that a PC can offer?

I had played dozens, if not hundreds of hours of EaW post-launch, and as most of us tend to – eventually moved onto other titles.

These titles accrued strong long-term fanbases that have been playing and modding the game since. Later in the same year, they returned on October 24th, 2006, with it’s highly anticipated expansion Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. For those unfamiliar with Empire at War (EaW), here’s the background context – nearly 14 years ago on Feburary 16th, 2006, Petroglyph Games brought Star Wars to the RTS scene with sprawling land-based fights, and glorious space battles.
