In land battles, a player can field more units at a time if they capture Reinforcement Points. In each battle, each side may only have a certain number of units on the field at a time the rest are retained as Reinforcements, which can be called in any time to designated areas when allowed. The defender may also use any buildings (land) or their space station (space) if they have constructed them. Factions must battle across both space and land maps. The player(s) can use only the equipment they brought to the battle (be it an X-wing squadron or an AT-AT). When enemy forces meet (either fleets in space or ground forces landing an enemy planet) a battle ensues.
Each planet confers different advantages to its owner, even though some bonuses are specific to each faction (for example, controlling Kuat reduces the price of Imperial Star Destroyers by 25 percent). Credits are used to research technology, build defenses and vehicles, and train troops. The player receives funds from planets they control and from mining facilities. Grand strategy, production, and resource management are facilitated through a three-dimensional galactic map. Each faction has at least one of three broad objectives for Galactic Conquest, which vary depending on which scenario is being played: kill the enemy leader ( Mon Mothma or Emperor Palpatine), protect or destroy the Death Star, or completely remove the other faction from the campaign map. A weaker, neutral faction of Pirates exists, but makes no attempt to battle the Rebels or Empire unless attacked. Galactic Conquest is the sandbox campaign, in which the player controls either the Rebel Alliance or the Empire. Land battles are fought with infantry and ground vehicle units, while space battles are fought with starfighter squadrons and large spacecraft. Battles can take place on a planet (land battle) or above the planet (space battle). There are three game modes: storyline-based Campaign, Galactic Conquest and Skirmish. It's even more ridiculous that the original game runs just fine when Vista has 4GB of RAM loaded, but the expansion? It refuses to run under Vista with more than 3GB of RAM.A screenshot presenting one of the Galactic Conquest maps (playing as the Empire). I rebooted my son's PC, fired up FoC, and whadda ya know! It worked!ĤGB of RAM is practically the industry standard for a low end system today, so it's ridiculous that I have to either remove or disable 25% of my son's RAM in order to get this game running. I found various workarounds, none of which worked for us, until I found a fix that led to me going into the MSConfig file and telling Vista to only load 3 of 4GB of RAM. I discovered that not only was I NOT the only person with this problem, but it was a very well known problem with trying to play FoC on a Vista system with more than 3GB of RAM.

We installed both the game & the xpac on my PC and they ran just fine, but then I have XP, so while my boy played on my PC I spent most of the evening on his PC looking online for a fix.
#Star wars empire at war gold trainer Patch
I tried to apply the patch and again saw "FoC is not installed". I reinstalled FoC and tried to run it again, with the same problem. This was with the game installed in the default folder, and yet the official patch from LucasArts themselves claimed the game was not installed.
I even copied the Patch's EXE file into the default FoC folder and ran it, and it still insisted it couldn't find the game.
I found a patch on LucasArts' website but when I attempted to run this patch it claimed FoC was not installed. We got home and installed the game and Empire at War ran just fine, but the boy wanted to play the Forces of Corruption, as that was what he'd played at his cousin's house, so we hit Play on the Launcher and.his screen went black, and stayed black.įortunately his system didn't actually lock up so we were able to Alt-Tab back to his desktop where we found an Exception! Error box that told us pretty much nothing at all, other than that something had gone wrong. We found it on here for $20 but when the local Best Buy had it for the same price we bought it from there instead. My 9 y/old son played Empire at War at his cousin's house over Christmas and begged me to buy it for him when he got home.
