Adding an SW themed soundtrack would be awesome, and some custom focus icons would be cool, too. Custom 3D models would be epic, but it's perfectly understandable if you don't want to work on that quite yet.
EDIT: A main menu wallpaper would be nice.

@gordon freeman Disney and Lucasfilms seem to be pretty strict on copyright when it comes to the music. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for the recommendations. A main menu wallpaper is included but I’ll double check to make sure steam didn’t remove it. As for custom focus icons, they’ll be out after all the focus trees are complete. 3D units probably won’t be out for awhile :(

No problem thanks for your time! Yeah, for some reason neither the menu wallpaper nor the spatial anomalies on the map seem to show up for me.

@gordon freeman Thanks for letting me know I’ll look into it. You’re running HOIIV 1.5.4 correct?

mandalorian wars era?
Ptschalon  [developer] 7 Nov, 2019 @ 6:49pm 
@kovac About to start on the mandalorian faction. However this mod is scoped in the clone wars for now.

Just wondering but on the Mandalorians. Multiple things to say actually. Are you going to add in the one Mandalorian company in Star Wars? Not to mention their ships like the ones to show up in Clone Wars as well as this capital ship their company made and provided to a crime syndicate in Legends? Also leaders. Understand some will likely not have helmets, but will some at least have the armor. Though I suppose ones belonging to certain government types won't have the armor.

Anyways, can potentially have four paths to them that can lead into different ideologies. There is of course their ruling one which I think would be the democratic one. But I think you could have different paths that could lead to the Death Watch taking over. The other two would be the true Mandalorians (Who Jango Fett was leader of, so I think going down this one might require saving him or having someone take over or something.), as well as a group of Mandalorians from Legends that supported the CIS. Though thinking on it, the Death Watch path could also have multiple paths as well. With Visla maintaining control down one, while the next would be Maul.

Anyways, I could also probably talk about stuff relating to the CIS, Republic, and possibly other groups. But this is probably enough. Though one more thing involving CIS. Maybe a focus branch relating to the Seperatist Parliment asserting more control or something from the Council (the military branch which is ran by the corporations basicly) or something? Granted I think if this is done then military strength or something might be negatively affected.

So, what do you think of all this?

@twnush Hey man this sounds awesome! Can you join our discord so we could maybe use your help to get the ball rolling on Mandolorian stuff?

Maybe make each planet have a few "provinces" so it takes longer to take a planet?
Is the galactic map following Canon? As in, do the planets have the correct placements? Here is a map for reference: http://www.swgalaxymap.com/

Regarding music, I don't think star wars music will be an issue, since this is a mod, and you won't make money from it. Many mods use star wars music in Stellaris, and even Company of Heroes.

Haven't tried your mod yet, but I intend to. Looks very promising, would be cool if in the future you can form the Galactic Empire and the rebels will spawn.

For factions, I think you could add the Hutts?
Many other things have already been suggested, but for models, would it be possible to take models from other games and use those?
I also hope more high quality icons could be made or found for tech and units.
Ptschalon  [developer] 10 Nov, 2019 @ 2:55am 
@armzngunz Each planet is made up of about 70 provinces. The placement of the planets is relatively correct according to canon.

Good suggestion about the music. We'll definitely look into that.

The Hutts will be included in the next update.

Models will come as soon as we get around to it. As of right now were trying to add to the gameplay side of things to make it more playable as opposed to the GFX side.

Good stuff. Thanks for the reccs
I Exist Now 12 Nov, 2019 @ 7:53pm 
Adding a name list would be much appreciated. just one to continue using the already existent list of names opposed to "1. Infantry Division". Additionally I feel like the Naval invasions are a bit too clunky to really be of any use, especially since the division limit for naval invasions is so low in base game, maybe editing the techs to allow for 24~ divisions right off would smooth it out. Its not an excessive number to the point where its cheaty, but its enough to get a decent army on the ground.
Additionally, for the future, maybe a change to the experience level of the spawnable armies, ie Clone Trooper Divisions, would fit the lore better? maybe change them from Green to Regular since the clone armies were very well trained on Camino.
I'm excited to see this mod develop more in the future and i'm very hopeful for it to succeed, good luck!

@I exist now Thanks a lot for the recommendations man. I’ll have a closer look at them later they sound like really good ideas. Especially about the training levels and division names. Thanks a lot
