Hey guys, this is Eckhart slaughter hello and welcome to another fall of the Republic video
And for those of you who don't know fall of the Republic is the brand-new
Upcoming Clone Wars mod for Empire at war by the team that brought us Thrones revenge
Which is personally my favorite Empire war mod Thrones revenge is run by my good friend Corey who also runs tap calf
Transmissions and both this mod and Thrones revenge are now under the Empire at war expanded banner
Which is pretty cool
so keep in mind though with all that being said that today's content is actually from a beta version of the mod an
Early beta version so there may be some bugs notably. There'll be some ships missing that will be on the final roster
But still I thought this would be a fun video to make
Especially for those of you who are new to the mod if you want to see more you can also check out the pretty much
Complete CIS playthrough I did but with that being said, let's get right into the content
And today we'll be counting down the five strongest ships currently in the mod and to illustrate
How these ships work and how powerful they are
We will be using the in-game fleet builder and to access that because some of you have been asking
You go just from the main menu go to single-player
galactic conquest
Instant action slash fleet builder. You have to select the Confederacy
Sorry, the Republic the difficulty doesn't matter here said Admiral. It doesn't matter. You start the game and then click begin
In this screen you now see this map and if you look closely
There are two little
Waypoints I guess you'd call them one for the Confederacy
This one and one for the Republic
you basically just spawn the ships you want and you click the
Action button the battle cam button and they can fight it out and you control the Republic ships
This is still fairly early. So there are some issues with how ships control and whatnot
But I think it will well serve today's video with that being said, let's take a look at the fifth. Most powerful ship
alright guys
so at number five we have the bulwark mark 2 class battle cruiser and as I alluded to earlier there are some issues with the
ships retreating
Especially if there is an imbalance in power, but we can still see them go into action against a fairly sizable Republic task force here
the bulwark mark 2 is
From what I understand based off a ship that first appeared in Star Wars rebellion, which is an older PC game
It's basically a blunt weapon
Not like a Star Destroyer because it's not that precise even but a lot of shields a lot of armor and some really decent
Firepower mostly turbo laser batteries. I don't think it has any laser cannons. So you'll definitely want to be supporting this ship wherever you go
with some Corvettes and probably some carriers as you can see it does have some
Fighters here, but compared to this little battle group not a whole lot. So yeah, you always want to be protecting big ships like this
With you know support ships
let's just see if we can skip ahead and
Have the two fleets battle it out so we can see the firepower and the durability here. I'll put fast speed on
And the first for work is almost in range there sorry first bulwark mark - I'm interestingly enough
There's a bit of weird lore around the bulwark of the whole video on the vessel
The Alliance has one of these ships or at least one of the bulwarks in the game that I mentioned earlier
I don't think anyone's really clear what model it is
The whole ship line as itself is mostly a creation of the essential guide to warfare
So just a little bit of interesting
knowledge there
Hopefully since we can see these things actually engage. If not, you'll just have to take my word for it
Very unique design though, certainly among the CIF ships. You don't see I guess with some exceptions
You don't really see these large bulking cruisers very often in the Clone Wars
So we are gonna see one of their main limitations here they're getting getting it ravaged by these fighters
But hopefully they'll put some fire in
If not, you guys will just have to take my word for it
Yeah, so he's attacking this acclimate, er you can see he's getting through the shields pretty well
But even this thing is being absolutely swarmed by fighters, and you know what?
It's doing a reasonable job at not dying immediately. I probably should not have made this task force so large but
That's fine live and learn. Yeah, you can see putting a pretty decent firepower. He's
Only really targeting one enemy at a time though, which I think is pretty notable, but he's doing a decent job
Again, nothing flashy here. And I think there's a pretty big gap between this ship and the next one
So with that being said, let's move on
Alright guys, so next up
We have the tech door class star destroyer and there were actually a few positions where I could have inserted in period our destroyers
Including even the secular on this list
But I didn't want the video to be dominated by the Republic and there's really a lot of similarities here
the game has especially for late Republic ships the
Texture which is what we're looking at right here as well as the ISD one albeit called the impurity. Let's click action
So the Tector just has a really really overwhelming amount of firepower way way more than what we see with
Basically any of the ships that come below it on this list and in certain situations it can even match the vessels above it
One of the main weaknesses of course relates to fighters
I made a little battle group for it to go against and because it's got a couple of Providence's
You know, it is fairly fighter heavy. But once this ship gets in range, we'll see
The pure destructive power, especially when compared to its Clone Wars
contemporaries
but as we're seeing
You want to support big ships like this big big for the air anyway with Corvettes just like we talked about before
Probably some carriers
the Tector especially
Gives up all I think all laser cannons
For turbo lasers and as I'll show you guys on the bottom here has no lower. Hangar bay
It's a pure
basically battleship
Unlike the impurity which still is less carrier focus than the Venator but maintains that maintains at least some hangars
Let's go ahead and
move you up and
The Star Destroyer should soon be in it being range in this Providence is going to be absolutely shredded. I mean the range is good
This forward fire mark is good. It will be it could even engage this one from this position, too
But yeah, like a single volley basically takes that shield all the way down
I'll let the victory in the acclimate or keep on this one and we'll show
Kind of firepower. This thing has here I
Mean the Providence isn't a particularly sturdy vessel, but I think it's a representative of what both factions were
Typically supporting during the war and this thing just goes right through them. No problem
Just devastating
There's no real
match for the
ISD we'll talk about the next ship is a CIS one and arguably that's a match but it wouldn't it would have been far rarer
Than the ISD
So let's just watch it broadside this
Providence and just crush it. I
Mean the imperial star destroyer
could compete with
New Republic ships it was relevant throughout history that includes the Tector so it's no surprise that it's so successful here
I probably could have slotted in the ISD one or the secular. So just keep that in mind as well
Taking a screenshot sorry, I
Like the look of that and I got my screenshot key finally working
They all so far far more durable than the venator. So let's move on
Already so next up we have
All ready so next up
We're returning to the CIS
And we are building a dreadnought version of the provenance
As you guys may or may not know the Providence comes in two sizes the regular carrier slash Cruiser size
Which this is not this is the dreadknots size and you can tell that the dread-nots is much much larger
And is you know considerably more powerful as well?
so let's go ahead and put this against detector and
a Venator
And see what happens
We just saw how the Tector
mauled the
Little bit of a pun there mold the provenance in the last battle. So, let's see what happens here
Trying to run which is
Annoying that's one of the little issues that this mod currently has
But one thing that's really remarkable is the sheer amount of fighters that this produces the majority of these fighters came from the dread-nots variant
So like that makes it not only and I tested it before the battle
Not only can the adrenaline actually stand up to a Star Destroyer in a one-on-one battle
But like just based on pure firepower we can see what these bombers are doing to this fleet ending
So it's a much more flexible vessel, but does come with the associated extra cost its 22
Credits or sorry 22 population cap instead of 16. I think or
1212 obviously
So yeah
different beast entirely
The dread-nots not quite as practical as I think is a mainline ship as the ISDN or the Tector
But now they're in closer range, let's see how this works
Go after the stragglers
So yeah, the shields of that is already through I will say probably because of the contributions of the Venator
The dread-nots falling faster than in my prior simulations
just like the simulations but um
Lets me probably be ascribed to the vendors presence if they're just gunning with each other
the Dreadnought should win but because the ISD has so many hard points and the
The vendor helped take this thing shields down. It might be closer
but especially with
In a human controlled fighters and whatnot taking a tactical hard points. It's a pretty easy victory
Speaking of I
Think generally the I don't have the same cost but usually in my experience the Venator can quite handily
Take out the providence
Yeah, this will be a win for the dread-nots
Interestingly the most famous providence the invisible hand used by grievous is not the dread-nots variant. It's just a normal Cruiser
a trench however, does have a dreadnought so
You guys get the idea let's move on
alright guys
So I thought it would be fun for us to test out the most powerful ship by putting them
head-to-head at least number one and number two
There will be more ships that will fight for this position specifically
I'm thinking of the mandator red not will most likely be number one. But right now the Confederacy of Independent Systems has the subjugator class
and
the
Republic has the praetor class battle cruiser
I anticipate the subjugator takes this pretty easy, especially with the ion cannons and it's just better armed. This is that 32?
Points, this is at 36. So it's pretty close actually
So I'm curious to see
Oops curious to see which of these ships actually takes it
Yeah, I've never done this battle before
The subjugator has the advantage not only of the heavy weapon
But more guns generally across the ships haul I suspect. Well, I would have thought it has more fighters, but I guess not
The AAI feels pretty confident. It's not running. So
Let's go ahead and micromanage our fighters
Have the
Interceptors go ahead and intercept one of the Bombers just kind of stay in reserve for them
This is a pure match of them neither of these ships right now obviously have any support ships
Because they operate in the same role so it's not really needed
And so not y-wing in it
One two three four so they each have the same amount of Fighters that's good
Four squadrons
They have two bombers. I guess technically the Ark is a bomber as well. So
These are double squadrons though, I believe
the way it works is I think these
Vulture droids actually have twice as many star fighters
They're not worried you would imagine they're trying to target my
Ultimately one squadron of bombers and it makes some difference but it's not enough to do any real damage to the shield's here
But that is obviously the main weak point of both of these ships you want to like you want to have a carrier focused fleet
Regardless of which one you're facing
Large ships are extra vulnerable to missiles
whether shot from
Capital ships or fighters. So you want to swarm them with y-wings or or if you're fighting the subjugator or vulture droids
if you're fighting the praetor and
They are just about in range
We've taken a bit more damage, but not enough for it to really be relevant. I
will say we are actually
There we go. It looks like we arranged them for a minute there
I'm just gonna bring them nose to nose and just let them so here's the super weapon firing
And this could easily be the game changer. Let's see what it does to our shield
Not that much actually
It looks like the parade or may have
more conventional weaponry
Or it could just be the position that we're in right now
maybe more of our
Guns can fire
And we are interestingly though, we are completely
Immobilized right now because of that ion cannon, so that is not a fee. That's not a feature you can ignore
Right now well, the subjugator on its own does appear to be pulling away. But even if it were not
Because this ship is completely out of commission. You could just move it in right here
And probably keep laying on it with that ion cannon, which will make the subjugator pretty hard to beat and you know single combat
Especially had two head-to-head like this
you know bring a fleet of vendors and you're golden but
Yeah, this isn't looking good for us and we're still actually disabled
We can't you know, we can turn and here's another one coming or two more coming
I'll probably take our shields all the way down or close to it
Interestingly in other mods that feature this ship yeah
Yeah, we're not
Oh, yeah, we're not even close other months that feature the ship have the ion cannon be a super weapon or a special feature
But in this it's just kind of fired by the AI which is an interesting idea
You actually have a maximum I think quarry set up five subjugator at once
The malevolence while the most famous of this ship class was not the only one
There is no malevolence to I think one was called
There were other ships some which were designed just like this but others which were slightly different
But yeah, this is over we've got through the shield once you get through the shield's of your enemy capital ship the
The difference in health usually just spirals out of control because you start taking out their weapons and they're only taking out your shield
So they're becoming less effective
then at that point it starts to snowball a little bit and
I imagine before long our shields will be returning if there's a already are actually so
Let's go ahead and just to be funny
Where is the spawn point? I lost it. Oh, you're nice just call
Just call a few more in so we've got the Ricky's in dreadknot, which we didn't see that ugly jumping on top of each other
Basically a larger version of the wreck isn't as the provenance is a larger version of the Providence
Is calling just calling everything
We've also got a bulwark mark one
It's beautiful it's just beautiful
Well, you hold that you held that well mr. Providence, but there's Supriya mr. Prater, but it was not meant to be
Interestingly the Prater one has no official cannon design
We see the Prater remark - in the essential guide to warfare and in comics
Well, swiftly one
comic but
We never see the predecessor
This is basically the same maybe smaller I guess which makes sense
It looks a little sharper to me that might just be because of the republic paint, which you obviously don't see on the Imperial Prater
But with that guys we have our five most
Powerful ships as it exists in the current version of fall of the Republic and just to summarize again
that's the subjugated class heavy cruiser the parade or mark one the
Providence dreadnought detector Star Destroyer and
Finally the bulwark mark - although you could really slot a lot of ships into that fifth spot
Probably a better option would be the secular
It's a pretty efficient carrier. It's basically like an upside the vinegar
Not the invincible
Arguably the victory, but I don't think a victory could take on
Maybe that's more testing. Anyway, lots of options. Let me know you guys think what's your list go from five to one?
What did I miss?
what's your favorite ship we talked about and what would you round their command a subjugated class heavy cruiser or a
Parade or mark - and how would you support these super ships? Let me know all that and more down in the comments
