Age of Legends is one of the largest and most popular mods for Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. It includes dozens of new playable factions and scenarios, thousands of units and heroes, and it is being expanded continuously. It is the definitive Star Wars Expanded Universe simulator.

The Essential Guide is a reader-supported publication with Development Diaries, exclusive previews and votes on content for paid subscribers. You can subscribe here to gain FULL access, and you can make a donation here to further support the mod.


The biggest update in years!

The Galactic Overhaul is, well, galactic in scale. Every single faction has been overhauled. Nothing is untouched. From space stations to every single space unit tooltip, everything has been reworked and improved.

What are the key features?

  • New units for every single faction

  • Completely rebuilt New Republic faction

  • Completely rebuilt and massively expanded Galactic Empire faction

  • Imperial leadership and regime mechanic

  • Customisable Imperial squadron loadouts for Star Destroyers

  • Overhauled space tooltips

  • New space station system (sell and upgrade space stations)

  • New playable faction: Ylesian Republic

  • New Galactic Conquest map, ‘28 ABY: The Battle for Ylesia’

  • Heavily upgraded AI now poses a serious challenge to the player

  • Sound overhaul (with more to follow in subsequent releases)

  • New faction colours to enhance readability

  • Many tweaks, rebalances, bug fixes

The fact that a whole new playable faction is only the 8th most noteworthy thing about the release should tell you a lot about its scope!

It will be available for download here on Friday. I’d recommend un-subscribing and re-subscribing when it comes out to prevent any launch issues.

Thank you(s)

I’d like to say thank you to everybody who has been part of the Community Beta. I’d also like to thank ALL paid subscribers who make the massive investment of time I make in this mod sustainable.

The future of Age of Legends

I have made a lot of changes thanks to error reports from the Community Beta. Inevitably there will be some launch day bugs and issues, but hopefully they will be minor. Players can expect a hotfix or two after launch to deal with any problems.

After that I will be focusing on small, regular content packs for a bit, meaning the next Dev Diaries leading up to Christmas will be very exciting!
