Who else played this game? What was your favorite faction?
For those unaware, this game is literally just Age of Empires 2 but Star Wars. Like literally a one-to-one copy. It's got some slight differences but if you can play one, you can play the other. The game originally launched with six civilizations: the Empire, the Rebels, the Trade Federation, the Royal Naboo, the Gungans and the Wookiees. An expansion came out later adding the Republic and the Confederacy. There's also a huge fan project out there that rebalances the factions and adds like six more, including sequel era stuff.
My personal favorites were the Trade Federation who didn't necessarily have the best units but could overwhelm you with sheer numbers, or the Empire who's AT-ATs were amongst the best units in the entire game. I also like the Republic just cause they're Clones, but they have an emphasis on Jedi and Starfighters which aren't really my thing.
The game is available on Steam for pretty cheap if you wanna try it out.
