Introducing Star Wars in Age of Empires II DE
This project is in beta, AI disclaimer
Here it is in AOE II DE! You can set it up yourself with this GitHub - play against the Rebel Alliance or Empire, and even with friends! You will need AOE II DE, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, and Expanding Fronts.
Something you may not know is that Star Wars is already in the AOE II engine. Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (SWGB) came out in 2001 and is a reskin of Age of Empires II to have Star Wars mechanics. They have stormtroopers, sith, TIE fighters, and all other types of amazing things.
Lots of people want this today, as AOE II is having a resurgence with Definitive Edition (DE). However, playing SWGB today is pretty tough as it has a really dated engine and DE just has so many nice Quality-of-Life updates. Also, multiplayer is on the new engine. So…
I had GPT 6 Astra + Opus 5.5 convert the game assets from SWGB (+ Expanding Fronts) and port over the AI and mechanics logic to the new DE engine as a mod. If you and a friend have the mod setup in the same way, you should also be able to play multiplayer. Cheers! More information later!
