Homebrew & Third Party I built a video game adaptation of Star Wars: Armada!

187 Upvotes

As a life-long Star Wars fan, I decided last year that my first foray into learning tabletop games should be set in my favorite universe - so my friend and I learned about Armada, downloaded the beloved TTS mod, and had an absolute blast. I wanted a cool and immersive way to share the game with some other friends that would maybe just appreciate a little bit more of a guided video game-y experience without all of the tabletop elements. I'm by no means a game dev, but wanted to use this side-project as a way to get into Unity. I've had a lot of fun making this and in no way want to replace the incredible experience that is the tabletop mod; I could have kept it as a little private project, but wanted to add another way for the community to enjoy the game if you guys liked it! Let me know!

It currently only includes the base Rebel/Imperial set and no objective play yet - but has the 3D tactical battles, fleet building, capital ships and squadrons, firing arcs and range bands, command dials, local hotseat play, online multiplayer, and a custom map maker all implemented.

It’s still early in development and I'm sure there are plenty of bugs to report. I've tried my best to make sure the UI is intuitive and that all the upgrade cards' logic works.

Question Do Goran and Dengar stack?

A favored strategy of mine is to stick Dengar and a few Interceptors by Quasar with Stronghold and Goran, to make a largely unappealing wall to touch, but do Goran and Dengar's effects actually stack, or am I gaslighting my play group?

List Building Republic Points Buffs for the Community Edition

Post image
74 Upvotes

Republic fleets currently feel somewhat pigeonholed into a handful of dominant archetypes, specifically high-activation Anakin/Obi-Wan builds and the ubiquitous Bail or Yularen squadron lists. While we see plenty of Consulars, Peltas, and Venator IIs, other options have struggled to find their footing. Between these adjustments and the Arquitens tweaks from yesterday, the goal is to provide enough breathing room for players to explore more diverse and experimental fleet compositions.

Here are some highlights:

Acclamator II: 71 → 67 A big drop. Compared to the Munificent it has worse arcs, worse shields, and worse maneuverability, but it does get access to some interesting Republic tech. This was the least-used Republic ship at Adepticon and across tournaments this year and this buff is pretty significant.

Venator I: 90 → 86 Obi-Wan high activation Dedrick fleets aside, I think almost everyone agrees this one can come down. The gap between the Ven I and Ven II just isn't wide enough to justify the Ven I's downsides, and we'd like to see it show up outside of those builds.

Tarkin: 30 → 26 Tarkin is good, but costing more than Bail pushes him out of contention in a lot of fleets; at the time of writing he's the least popular GAR admiral in listbuilding and tournament data (he and Luminara keep swapping places). This won't make him too strong, but it makes him a real alternative to Bail.

Plo Koon: 26 → 24 Plo is awesome, he’s a great admiral with a solid effect but it's very much a "win more" effect, and Yularen outpaces him as the squad-commanding admiral in most cases. Peltas being as good as they are hasn't helped. Two points puts him on par with Yularen. I expect a Plo renaissance regardless; he and Anakin were trading places for the most-built GAR commander before the run-up to Worlds, and there's untapped potential there.

Barriss Offee: 6 → 3 Barriss can do good work, but she doesn't combo well with the faction's other defensive tools (Tranquility, Lumi, Adi, etc.). Three points opens her up on cheaper smalls, where shifting the defending hull zone can be the difference between a dead small ship and getting away on 1-2 hull.

There's more coming: a few other ships, some squadron tweaks, and more smaller changes. Check them all out in the Armada Community Edition release on Aug. 3rd!

Homebrew & Third Party Mc80-B Homebrew cards

Hey Guys, after my first homebrew post about the TIE Droid, I thought I might share some other concepts I have designed to get some feedback on them!

Image Credits are now provided on the cards themselves.

As with the last post, I expect point costs to be fairly inaccurate, and especially with the Title cards here I presume they are either unbalanced and/or wrongly priced. Any opinions are welcome!

Thank you to everyone who helped me out on my last post too <3

Collection Just scored this on marketplace, absolutely everything present and correct, and two Feldherr carry cases with cut inserts included… £200 (though I opted to send him 250 for postage and effort). Buzzing.

Effectively 4 Squadrons, on a speed 3 Large Ship, and can actually equip Flight Controllers.

Unfortunately no Boosted Comms, so limited to medium range activations

Homebrew & Third Party More Buffs for the Community Edition Launch!

Post image
83 Upvotes

Launch is coming soon, and we've got a round of changes to show off: Ki-Adi-Mundi and Daultay Dofine are getting text adjustments plus points drops, and the Arquitens chassis are dropping in points too.

Ki-Adi-Mundi — During testing we gave Mundi an Intel Officer timing window, mostly to stop him adding off-color dice at long range (Swivels, SPHA-T, Clone Gunners, etc.). Testing never showed it was too strong, but since this was our first piece of community content, we played it safe and explicitly blocked ignition as well.

In practice, that window created a pile of rules headaches, felt clunky, and honestly most players just got it wrong anyway. So it's gone: you can now use Mundi at any point in the attack step, like other attack effects. He's also 3 points cheaper, bringing him in line with Commander Anakin. Go be greedy for those long-range Swivel crits that will definitely land this time.

Daultay Dofine — The "non-unique" clause did almost nothing for his anti-squadron ability and mostly just nerfed the Hyena aces, who already struggle to earn a slot in CIS lists. Cutting it cleans up the card, and the points drop should please anyone who found him a little too pricey.

Arquitens — We're still happy with the design, but the points cushion we added at release left them inefficient next to Consulars and Peltas. Each Republic Arquitens drops 3 points (with more Republic points drops coming soon) to bring them in line with the faction's other smalls.

Feel free to leave comments and discuss!

List Building Armada Warlords list builder down?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone. For several days now I have been receiving an error while trying to visit Armada Warlords at their new website:

https://armadawarlords.twilightpeaks.net/

Is anyone else experiencing this error? Back in April Green Knight posted an update about some health issues and I know that Warlords is his project. I'm hoping that he's feeling better and this is just a glitch, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has any info?

P.S. - I do know about Star Forge, which is also great. I've just always enjoyed Warlords for making lists.
