Hello there, Company of Heroes and Star Wars fans,
It has been a long, patient journey since our Alpha release but we got here thanks to your continuous support and immaculate will for a Star Wars mod for Company of Heroes.
Celebrating the 1.0 Release, we've released a trailer as featured above, it showcases what we've worked on for the past couple of years.
So, what has changed?
- Unit Portraits have been remade from scratch for a cleaner and a more uniform look for the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire.
- Unit Models have been remade from scratch for increased visual fidelity and to meet the grittiness we hope to achieve.
- Invented Walker Tech(thanks SirPsycho!) as a solid foundation for walker-type units. AT-RTs and AT-STs are now available for the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire.
- The DF.9 and 1.4 FD P-Tower turrets have also been added for anti-infantry and anti-vehicle purposes.
- Speeder Bikes have been added. Speeder bikes can capture resource nodes and has access on an activated speed boost ability.
- X-Wings and Tie-Fighters are now also available for use on both factions.
- Most of the doctrines for both factions are functional*.
- A handful of Star Wars maps have been added*.
- More Star Wars music have been added.
These are the major, notable changes we have added, there are still more changes in the nitty gritty of the 1.0 release, we can't wait for you to discover and utilize them!
