Star Wars - Warlords - Commanding The Imperial Fleet

hello ladies and gentlemen captain shake here and welcome to Star Wars warlords it's a total conversion mod for the original homeworld sadly the remastered edition of this mod is not out yet but the dev says that it's in the works we haven't heard anything about it in some time not since gearbox actually released the remastered version of homeworld you've no idea what I'm talking about that's okay I'm going to explain to you real quick homeworld is a classic strategy game came out way back when in the good old days a PC gaming it's a three-dimensional space combat strategy game right that's something we've really ever seen before in three dimensions where you can actually tell your ships to go up and go down it this mod came out for it a little while after it came out and you can download it now on Steam if you have the remastered version of home world which gearbox software actually re-released the game in HD glory goodness after they bought the rights to it and it made installing mods really easy it's a one-click install I will warn you however that I've had some crashing issues with this particular mod win playing as the was I think I was playing as the Republic or as the rebels I mean not playing as the rebels and I crashed about 20 minutes into a match you can save skirmish matches you can't play this multiplayer against the computer but we're gonna go ahead and get started today we're gonna be playing as the Empire because for whatever reason I've been in a real Imperial mood I have seen the new Star Wars movie there will be no spoilers in this video other than to say I needed a day to digest it I was going to do a review decided not to and now I sat there and I've thought about it and I really like it I'm gonna do a video on on why I love the new movie so much I think it's better than a new help I don't think it's as good as Empire so it kind of fits firmly in between those ah the the prequel trilogy was not my thing I grew up with the original movies so and I know a lot of people like to talk trash about it but there's a whole generation that grew up with those prequel movies and they kind of fell in love with them so I'm not going to talk about those movies well because I love the clones by the way so I have things out of the prequels that I do love I like the new movie anyway let's get started playing is the Empire we're gonna be playing against an expert to do alliance now the sides you can play as are the Alliance the Empire the militia you don't know what the militia are if you played Star Wars Galaxies they are like the criminal faction you can have a lot of those Hut fighters you're going to have a lot of the you know like a mix of both sides actually cuz a lot of the ships were pirated or they were just sold by the corporation's so you get a nice mix in the militia you also get I think some of the sea is old like retired ships they do have the sea is the separatists are there and the ol and the Republic is in there so you can get stuff like the venator and the acclimate or twos and all that jazz so whatever you're looking for I personally anything is the Empire versus the Alliance that's the theme we're going to be starting off now there's different ways to start the match off in this you can do facilities which is like the old school harvesting resources getting near your refinery ships out there collecting resources building up a fleet and then cotton and getting a combat because I crashed last time I was doing that that's a really slow start I want to get right into the ship I want to get right into the battle the big fleet battle I'm I'm Admiral Scheck today so we're gonna take on reinforcements that's going to give us a starting plate it's actually going to give us a beacon and we'll hyperspace onto the beacon with whatever ships we build and we're gonna start off with a crack to the money what is this like 20 million dollars right three three okay two million dollars we started a ton of our use which are resource units let's get started hyperspace is on there are tons of options to change how the game plays out let's get expert to yep yep yep and yes I want a fleet of stardestroyers I want victory class I want TIE fighters I want tie bombers I want tie interceptors tidies stealth ties tie everything it's going to be glorious so this is what we start with our little piddly beacon but if you know anything about report star wars the nav beacons are what they kind of lock on to to calculate their jump to hyperspace that means the fleet is on its way and we're going to bring in well the first thing we're going to bring in let's go into the capital ships since we're not worried about the speed with this because we're not really getting resources I can sit here and actually look at this now we have super capital's we do have the the executor class oh man I don't think I can actually afford that without blowing all my money on the executor oh that's expensive you also get the the mandator which is kind of the old-school giant flagship of the new republic of the old republic not even the old republic it gets really confusing be Republic before the Empire there we go prior to the core I'm pretty sure is that that ship class what we will do though I think we'll focus on a smaller group we won't build the gigantic capital ship what we will build is some classic ones we're gonna do a classic fleet of like yes yes Imperial destroyers let's bring them in the fleet is arriving let's do a couple of victories in there we got to have our fields of TIE fighters let's get a couple of tie bombers in there oh there's a cap ah damn I left the fighter cap on or the cap of ships in general so I guess we're gonna have a mix of ships but let's look at what we've got so far we have a couple of victory Class Star Destroyers even how old this mod is that looks great that looks fantastic let's close some these menus look at ah what are you doing what are you doing mark - and then we've got these guys beautiful imparied her the classic Star Destroyer looking good let's get the fleet into some type of formation get you guys together we can actually take the Thai fighters and we can tell them to go inside the Star Destroyers like let's do that let's some get inside the victory class right the first true Star Destroyer even though some people say the acclimate err was the first Star Destroyer was the first spearhead shape that they went with so it's like the protostar destroyer the acclimate ER in the venator the venator but um can we get zoomed in on when these two bombers getting I don't know why it's not letting me do it soo Thai fighter great there we go oh god guys he come in we get here the ties and we actually go up into the docking bays and most of the ships are set up properly so they'll actually dock up where they're supposed to know their auto undocking because we hit L you can go into all the ships launch bays and I have them all on auto launch so what they're really doing is just rearming and repairing and you can do that mid but mid-fight to just be careful because they'll be four they'll be the oh we have an enemy fleet approaching here we go so the rebels look like they've gotten themselves a Star Destroyer most have captured it the rebel bastards scum we've got a couple of MC ATS in the back and then what every Imperial or a rebel fleet needs to have a bunch of frigates apparently I thought those were gonna be fighters looks like they didn't bring in a lot of fighters or any fighters for that matter alright let's go ahead and engage I'm ordering the fleet to engage the nearest and let's go ahead and flush out the rest of the fleet let's do a Eclipse dreadknot oh my goodness look at some frigates in there we need that would be a nice mix of frigates some Lancer frigates let's get some Nebulon bees support ships can't get acclimated for some reason I think we need to research or something let's get an enforcer Cruiser in an immobilizer yes oh yes where is it where is she this is one of my favorites what is this is like a flak for it under attack ship oh this is the ship that they're using in rebels a lot now this is the like the patrol ship which is pretty sweet alright the battle has begun my TIE fighters are in there you can see them flying around mass number no top fighters are cheap we can replace these guys like mad as soon as we lose them along here let's start replacing them let's open this up hi squadrons about half dead they can click it and see individual squadrons are dying you build them by the squadron or as they die a little free build cap we could build some more when you do play this I recommend oh we're going to lose our first victory class what are you doing engaged engage in glorious combat fire those missiles and then here's one of our patrol ships we got to bring in more reinforcements and we can use the hyperdrive to get them into range so let's do dreadknots let's do vendors a couple of classic vendors maybe there haven't been retired since the days the Cologne was oh they jumped right in what we'll do is we'll do an entire venator fleet yes give me a bunch of you boys now we're gonna take all the vendors and we're going to jump them in behind enemy lines flanking them it's is so getting them killed I don't care though DMCA these are broad sighting us there's our vendor flate immediately engaged and being completely and utterly decimated oh poor life choices come on boys open up with those cannons you can actually see the cannons turning and firing Mayday Mayday all right as a support choice start calculating your jump to hyperspace retreat with the rest of the fleet ill fall back let them come to us and then let's get something they need we need we have enough money for this we do ah and tots and crews are reporting you're not a tart and Cruiser engage everything bring down the Imperial hammer that's an asteroid not not an executive open fire eliminate the enemy look at the amount of firepower Vader's flagship has arrived oh oh you're dead son you're dead we will eliminate the rebel fleet hyperspace jump initiated we're getting right up their faces under attack you get over harder can we replace our fighters we can let's go ahead and get ourselves some um Thai advance where's our tighter scepters I love the tighter Center we're calling in a fleet of tiny scepters five Thai interceptor squadrons are prepared for combat we're bringing them in they do not have jump drives more friendly look at that got a couple of bulk cruisers you guys go ahead and engage the bulk Cruiser I will see this from the TIE fighter tighter scepter perspective the battle I love to scale with us oops I lost him engineer click up family they're so small look somebody look they're young get in there boys engage the bulk cruisers look at that now the enemy has brought in more reinforcements we've got some of the old clone warships really about to lose another Venator we need more firepower there's our support fire coming in from Earth so you can see this mod is just fantastic in its scale but waiting yo come on attack the enemy flagship eliminate them it's scale is great the the effects are fantastic I remember how old this is I can't wait till an HD version comes out but like MC 80s for most mods you can actually see inside the docking bays I look terrible they really do most of the time we're about to lose another one of our Star Destroyers looks like we need to replenish the Star Destroyer fleet and this time let's go with a just a bunch of victories let's just bring in the victory fleet we're done messing around with these rebels All Hands abandon ship All Hands abandon ship was he another Star Destroyer Oh oof there she is there's the fleet engage target the Imperial fleet has arrived enemy contact what nerve it reporting I'm opening up under attack Imperial blockade the second fleet reading without coordinate confirm and target the support fleet our tie interceptors what is that noise something big is being stride we're about to take out the second MCAD which looks like he's just out of range oh those are missile launches this thing let's bring this down to the same level as the battle because it looks like it's spearing them let's go you down rejoin the fleet commander ready bring your troops in they just lost another support ship there's an FCAT blow it up what's really cool about this if you're playing in the normal like resource collection mode is when ships explode their resources like you're about to see this Liberty go up if she goes we've eliminated the rebel fleet now we're just cleaning out all that explosion burr it'll actually leave a wreckage that you can harvest when you send your guys to go get the wreckage they'll actually grab the pieces and bring them back to your flagship or your Starbase look at that wreckage of the MCAD it'll actually pick up pick up these pieces and move them around see to salvage the ship so sites of great battles during a resource match end up being things to fight over all right boys you can open up on the rest of the support plate one of our larger service traders are in the background ready to go there he is oh man you gotten the kicked out of you can see the damage marks where the go gets cannons look at those cannons what are you doing here anyways get into the fight my friend get into the fight I bet your engines have been destroyed haven't they look at all the missiles that's what it is it's the victory classes they're all launching missiles at the same time and taking out the ball cruisers boom get away from my buoy my nav buoy and there we go guys we just won the battle so that's just a quick look at the mod in this mode it seems to run fine my crashes have always been in the gathering resources mode though like I said I was either no I was playing as the militia when I crashed so it might have something to do with the militia units I recommend you guys try it out I want to do a match as the republic and be very hit heavily fighter focused I think I'm going to take the can we move you guys over there I want to see your engines turn on moving whoa there they go you can see their engines like flashing on and off and not really sure why they're not staying on I want to see what a heavy fighter fleet can do against stuff like the Empire I think that'll be really cool tonight I'm supposed to be recording what am i recording one of the sins of a solar Empire Star Wars mods with veil 4 so expect those videos and everything goes smoothly soon if you enjoyed this video hit the thumbs up button for Captain shacks flagship the enforcer that's what I will name her the enforcer of galactic peace and prosperity and I will see you guys in the next Star Wars mod videos we're doing that all week super hyped because of the movie somebody get out here and repair the engines I don't want to have to push this thing I do want to see this thing loaded down with TIE fighters like look you can see fire control systems are awful also offline so it's lost its its damage yeah looks like your engines may be shot out bummer bummer pretty cool when how I fixed that oh I know how you fix it let me see if I can build up now I have to see repair droids close that close that stop all the other things you're doing I want more repaired right now I have to know like this is a mechanic I want to know about come over here and repair the shattered prepared droids Roger they look mean hour by hour joys of broaching the wreckage could all the wreckage in the victory classroom can put them on like a Patrol reconfirmed I always wanted a strategy game that played out like homeworld in the actual battles but gave you that sins of a solar Empire ask control of more of like the galaxy that you're fighting over right so you can you can pick areas that you can stop enemy resources you can set up secret bases if you're playing is the Rebel Alliance like that kind of thing and then have like twenty people playing would be so cool that kind of scale let's say we can bring those engines back online she is doing self repairs that's cool hey see if the engines work at all she is beginning to repair herself also can you collect or go I'm just a move order no you can't collect alright I'll go back to repair off you go repair order confirmed see what the effect is on these guys begin repairs at the start Austria it's needed for the Empress fleet repair hated are they like locking on to it that help is going up really fast whoa what I guess if you have a ton of them they just kind of latch on to the sides oh yeah destroyer yeah can I not move you I can jump you it's probably moving really slowly let's give it a little roll out what I can still jumpy right yeah I can still hyperspace jump calculating jump to hyperspace let's look like when I jump let's try it come on let's move jump that way calculate jump to like you it just makes the sound effect there's no move that's too bad the star or the Star Trek mod has a great hyperspace effect it actually looks like they're they're jumping to warp alright guys I will see you in the next video litter
