STAR WARS™ Empire at War - Gold Pack

Fantastic game for Star Wars fans and RTS fans alike. If you happen to be both of those things, then you're sure to be in for a treat. The vanilla game itself is good, however once you go modded, you can never go back. There are few games that have such expansive mods, and fewer still that are continuously updated to this day. Almost 20 years old, and yet new mods seem to come out weekly, and old mods continue to get massive updates. Whether you are a fan of the Clone Wars, Old Republic era, Galactic Civil War, or even the legends post-Endor period, there is something for everyone. You can pick up the game on sale for less than 10 bucks. which is honestly a steal. I truly hope that we one day get an Empire at War II, or at least more Star Wars RTS games, but even if we don't, I know that this amazing community will continue to add more free content for us all to enjoy for years to come.

very fun but is difficult youll learn after a couple days of practice

This game takes me back to the 00's era Star Wars, which truly was the golden era of the fandom. A great, fun game that gives you command of iconic Star Wars ships and vehicles.

for it's age, it's a really decent game. If your a star wars fan, i would jump on this!

old game but absolute gold with mods, recommended for those who enjoy obviously enjoy RTS similar to total war but just in star wars format lol. Ship to Ship combat is quite fun rather ground combat, but nevertheless its fun. A bunch of videos on youtube for guides from ship v ship tactics to economic tips & best way to keep those credits flowin. long live the, republic/empire/rebellion/ryloth and all that good stuff.

15 Years later and this game is still a masterpiece, honestly a modernized remake with more factions would be nice but with steam workshop i guess its close enough lol.

Mods make it a brand new game all these years later. Fall of the Republic, Awakening of the Rebellion, Thrawn's Revenge, Revan's Revenge. All different time periods for fans of the Old Republic, Clone Wars, and post-Battle of Endor EU(Legends)

The game is very good it holds up to this day and with mods its the best RTS game i have played in my live.

A classic must-have. Needs a remaster for today! Also a lot of great modders keeping this game alive. Works just fine, it is not a buggy mess. May need to work out a few kinks depending on your system, but my wife and I did not need to even on 2 different laptops. So, go for it now or get it on sale when it goes on sale randomly or during season sales.

I've been playing this game since it first released in 2005 and thanks to the continued mod support it has so many styles to choose from that it's hard to get bored with this game.

One of the best RTSs I've ever played. When they added mod support years ago, it was like playing it for the first time all over again. I highly recommend it.

Its a nice game with a lot of replayabilty and an excellent modding community

Very old yes, but a gem. Worth every Euro to this day. A bit buggy at times but overall lovely.

Incredible game, just a learning curve for ui and unit placement. Overall amazing, especially with mods. 11/10 after learning it.

So far seems great. Theres a lot of mods! The base game its self is pretty good too.

it was fun and engaging. A excellent strategy game for new players

Mods are essential to expanding the gameplay - the base game is incredible but mods are highly suggested; Thrawn's Revenge, Fall of the Republic, and general rework mods are amazing.

This is a very good game, Highly recommend it. Just be sure to look at the mods as all the good ones are free to download.

Love this game! Have been playing since it first came out. I just wish we could get official updates or a new version!

This game is so good you can destroy the rebels as the empire , or reclaim the galaxy as the rebelion. Just like i want.

This is one of the best star wars games i have ever played. It not only is great for its base game, but also for the massive steam workshop modding community, and overall this is a great game.

This game was one of the crown jewels of the old Lucasarts period of Star Wars games. Legitimately one of the best RTS games I've played. Then you add in the extra bonus of all the mods, you'll have a game you'll come back to over and over again, take my word for it...I've got 500 plus hours invested in it.

great immersion mods, really can live out my starwars fantasies with this one

best star wars game and its not even close.

One of the most classic RTS game ever, the game play is a little plain but in all it is super fun!

A very good game. This game has blown me away. At first i thought i wouldn't enjoy this game very much. The modding community for this game is spectacular. Great Game 9/10.

Not just a classic Star Wars game, but a classic strategy game overall. Definitely worth the purchase not just for the base content but with the Workshop community keeping the game stronger than ever. Cannot recommend more!

this game is one of those strategy games that i actually enjoy, especially skirmish mode (petty i know), this game, especially with mods, makes it a very enjoyable and fun game. i love space combat.

i got it when it was on sale and i have to say incredible game the base game is awesome and the fall of the repbulic is a free and incredible mod you need a ok pc to run best graphics but thats ok

When I play this wonderful game, I like to think that my main protagonist is Stuart Dunmeyer from Mrs. Doubtfire. Stu's handsome face watching over a grand battle as he calculates every move with extreme care.

great game, i really feel like the empire because im incredibly incompetent and i keep losing to some force-sensitive farmer 10/10. also it has a fully fleshed out clone wars mod (Fall of the Republic) with different start dates and a full galaxy map.

The mods are the only reason to play this game, but the base game is SUCH a great foundation for all the mods! Love it!

Best star wars game ever!!! And a great real time strategy game.

Amazing tactical RPG with some amazing mods, so many different fleets and armies to create with so many scenarios. 10/10 game.

The 5.1 Remake mod makes this game so fun that its not even funny, I almost shed a tear.

I really would recomend this game to most star wars fans, the game itself is alright but I recomend this game with Mods, like Fall of The Republic, or Awakening of the Rebellion

I been playing this game religiously since it's release when I was middle school. The game has always had a healthy mod community and with steam workshop streamlining it you are basically getting dlc size(the good kind) content for years to come. Something that modern game devs and triple A companies have trouble providing these days. Pure vanilla is still fun even without mods. Only real complaint that its vanilla ai when on highest difficulty just spawns and spams huge fleets out of nowhere but it is offset by it's bad pathfinding. Other than the game is one of those very rare golden goose games and worth getting if you love star wars and rts games but be warn it shows its age in the graphics department but it just means you could have any computer from the early 2000s and beyond and it will run perfectly.

Loved this game growing up as a kid and the fact that the developers are still updating/fixing this game is AMAZING!!! Also, Steam Workshop support is awesome, keeps the game fresh with custom content!

i HAVE NOT PLAYED A SINGLE SECOND OF THE BASE GAME I purely got this for the "Empire At War Expanded" mods which are amazing, 9/10, nerds like me will be so happy. I have enjoyed "Thrawn's Revenge" so much, that's all of my playtime in this game is so far. it plays pretty good with the three main things you will be doing are: Grand Strategy on the Galactic Conquest Maps, Ground tactical Battles, and my favourite space tactical battles. Let's be honest, we all play this game for the space battles. the ground battles are fun too, especially given the variations the "Empire At War Expanded" mods gives them. there are so many different units to use on quite a few different maps. The space battles though are great fun. moving your ships around can take a little getting used to, after you get the hang of things there is a good amount of depth. From how you build your fleets, how you deploy your ships, and the composition of the enemy fleet you are facing. Overall if you have seen or heard about the mods in this classic old Star Wars title and want to give them a try they are 100% worth buying the base game.

An absolute classic that is still somehow getting updates almost 20 years after it released. I only have 300 hours on the steam version, but probably a couple thousand on the disk version. Well worth the $20.

Awesome game and with the mod community making it eternal its still current and enjoyable to this day, only wish is for a new empire at war to be released

My favorite game, straight forward and satisfying

Amazing game, worth it for the continued dev support (still fixing issues after almost 20 years!) and most importantly the amazing mods. The modding community continues releasing full featured content modernizing graphics and bringing in new eras, especially the Clone Wars and post-Endor EU. Empire at War's ingenious combination of ground and space combat is an amazing decision and somehow has yet to be done again. Until then, or until the sequel, we have the mod teams.

It's everything ive been waiting for! I've wanted to play this since i was about 16 yrs old I'm 26 now and I'm so happy to finally play this. For the EMPIRE!!!!

It is a very fun RTS game, it has a little something for everyone (yes that is a meme reference).

Base games are classic, but the mods are surreal. So many more hours and still updated in 2025. God bless Steam and God bless modders ha.

Still fun after all this time. And the mods... plenty of fun trying them all.

fantastic find despite 2000s graphics. love the modding

mods are fun, the strategy is real and unique only to this game

Great game with good MOD support, I hope they come out with a updated version of this game
