My Greatest Ambition Yet
Hello!
Today I'm announcing my intent to recreate WC4 into a Star Wars Galactic Conquest campaign. The modification will be created in an open source style which means you the moderator community will be able to work and develop the mod alongside me.
What will it include?
My intention is to:
Use Navy as starships
Airforce will be fighters
Mixed species for light side soldiers
Take place during: Old Republic, Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War
Many species including: Humans, Sith, Chiss, and Wookie
Familiar armored vehicles such as the AT-AT and STAP
Sea will become space
Land will become planets
What will I need from you?
I need from the community:
Stable continuous volunteer development
Resources to assist in creating the modification
Support and interest in the modification
Beta testers
What can you do to get involved?
It's great that you're interested!
If you want to develop the mod, please message me
Otherwise:
If you've found any useful resources such as charts for the sprite sheets, useful unlisted tutorials, or anything else you feel like providing.
Know someone who might be interested in helping? Send them my way!
Want to see something in the mod? Let me know!

May I help? I have over 300 potential unit models for planets, starfighters, capital ships of all sizes and ground vehicles. All are saved on a file from my Pinterest account. I think they range from the time of the Old Republic to the Legacy era. pin.it/jgaoi7krjabnt7Also, I could make a huge custom map that resembles the Star Wars galaxy. The only problem would be how to implement it for conquest.... |

This is going to be handy! My only complaint it I honestly hate working with bitmap images. I think Im going to start with Old Republic era If you want to start with the Old Republic, I can make the images transparent in order to work as models. Just tell me what ship classes do you want, how many per faction and how many factions will have different ships. For the Empire, as an example, they could be split in several subfsctions, each having like 2-3 different units from the other Imperial factions. I say this because I have enough models for that. And do you still want that map? |

Hobo Joe, I think I'll start making the units. Just please give me some indications on what factions you would to have with unique units, and what unit classes should I look for. This is my idea for vehicles and capital ships: Submarine > Corvette Destroyer > Frigate Cruiser > (Star) Destroyer Carrier > Battlecruiser Super ship > Dreadnought These should technically be the ship sizes. But instead of generically calling them like this, we will use their actual names, like Imperial-class Star Destroyer, Allegiance-class Battlecruiser and so on, thus we could integrate ships in between the size of a frigate and Destroyer, like the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser. But I will explain you further about this. Armoured car > perhaps that hover bikes seen on Endor in Return of the Jedi Light tank > small tanks (like the AAT and TX-130 Saber Tank) Medium tank > light walker (like the AT-ST) Heavy tank > heavy walker (like the AT-TE) Superheavy tank > heavy walkers (like AT-AT) or tanks (like the Juggernaut used by the Republic in the Clone Wars) Again, just as for ships, these will also get their actual names. I am not sure yet for artilly though And I am still thinking on how could we make the ability to train starfighters. And since the capital ships will be produced by the naval shipyards from WC4, combined with the custom map I was planning, we could even make like planetary rings where ships are build, as in the case of Kuat or Ringo Vinda.

Example of unit I made for the mod:  All Terrain Armoured Cargo Transport (AT-ACT). Seen on Scarif durin the battle against the Rebels in Rogue One. Even if having less armour than its cousin, this can be used as an alternative fro the AT-AT for the imperial faction holding Scarif (off course, if we go with the idea of splitting big factions like the Empire in smaller factions for balance). |

Possible units could also be the following
LAAT>Paratroopers
Hellfire Droid>Rocket Artillery
AV-7>Field Artillery
I'll edit if I can think of some more

I think this thread would need bit more caring and attention though. Until now, the ideas are very good.

can I help out with suggesting generals? I'll base their stars and skills off wc4's to make the coding easier

Sorry, I was away for a little bit.
I think a repository such as GitHub would make work on this project a lot easier, it might also be worth our while to set up a communication system through something like Discord to make things a bit more regular. Since we're still very much in the first stage of the project I don't think we should put the cart before the horse and begin the development until we have our resources and infrastructure set up.

Hobo Joe, one thing I am sure of: I have the source for units already prepared. Plus a few maps that could help in either making a custom map of the galaxy or just making the existent map resemble a bit the Sci-fi universe. But I agree that we need a Discord group where to make plans.
