I think that could be an option potentially

Perhaps something can be done in the future, right now the way it is, is because AI likes to be trapped inside Tech 2, and how it currently is allows them to escape that loop.

1 solution I see to this is letting AI have its own AI-only tech-up which is very cheap or even free, but takes long, while for players could work as suggested: More expensive but shorter time

I do feel the same. It feels more like something mandatory to go for as soon as possible rather than a strategic decision. I would rather increase the price a bit and make it take a minute to research. Like its done in the Age of Empires series.

I wanted to comment on the tech level up times being slightly painful

Cool

Mod updated to version 1.1, some changes here and there, details in description

@AjaxInTheAct

An update will arrive between today or tomorrow, which adresses some issues and balancing. It also will add at least 1 new unit to the Empire, +2 Empire units being replaced for them for another. The replaced units will appear later again on the next faction to come: The Imperial Remnant (Eventually)

Is there a plan to still add new units to existing factions?

@Nado Festag Pado~

Our largest inspiration was Galactic Battlegrounds, but also getting inspiration from other games like Empire At War, and several other. Hell, even some units like the Trade Federation's AST came out from a toyline and decided to make it a unit

Very nice work! I don't suppose Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds played some inspiration in this? Because it reminds me a lot of when I used to play that game.

I except the might over no any time

This might get added eventually but Maxen wants first to add the Empire's remnant and the new Republic.

Is it weird to say I hope to see old republic and sith empire Post–Great Hyperspace War in this mod at some date?

Hey, its the thing!

Like soooo many SushiMaki mods, this is best played pvp because the AI is just untouchable.
Gorgeous but not solo friendly.

this is a great addition, nice work

Empire Warfare

add captial ships and i am sold !!!

@Bob the Xeno-Builder

Yeah, the AI can be both unforgiving, or dumb, it sorta depends on how many command posts they get. So I can give you important things to consider upon game start:

1.- Upon game start, first thing you gotta do is use your initial troops to garrison as many turrets and bunkers in the direction of your enemy, they will provide a defined front on the early stages and will help to held the enemy off.
2.-Your first Command post must always be the economy boost, hopefully at least the ones afar from the frontline should be.
3.- Building a Military Academy/Tech Lab should be the most important thing to do, teching up is key to victory.
4.- Be quick on doing the mentioned points, or else your enemy will do it before you

might be skill issue though

Even though the mod is a straight 10 out of 10 no question's asked, the bots are kinda difficult to manage even on very easy, they will QUICKLY submerge you with units.
