This vid features a battle between the Ancients and the Wraith in 2 parts. The battle is set above the Pegasus planet Hoff, home to the Hoffans who developed a drug to be administered to the human population which would kill any Wraith if they tried to feed on the Hoffans.
The battle is played out in a game called: Star Wars Empire at War.
The mod: Stargate Empire at War Final 1.0, was used for this battle.
Music used: Moonlight Sonata, by Ludwig van Beethoven
The ships have been mended to give a more accurate battle scenario and in my opinion this gives a realistic view of the Ancient warships capabilities. In a 1 on 1 fight between the Ancient Warship and a Hive, the Ancients are far superior. In a 1 to 2 battle the outcome is more uncertain. 1 to 3, the Ancients most often lose, but as seen in this vid, the outcome also depends on the opponent. If the opponent with a larger force at hand forces an overwhelming attack with, say 2 hives or more, the Ancients lose, else the Ancients can strategically take out the Wraiths' hard-points, thus ensuring victory.
The Ancient Warship have been upgraded with slightly more health, and a lot more shield strength. The lasers are a bit more powerful to compensate for over-powerful drone weapons. It has an increased output of drones, and the drones have been given greater damage, but also cost more energy, though it doesn't seem to have much effect.
The spawned number of Puddle Jumpers was increased from 4 to 12, and will re-spawn an almost endless amount.
The Hive has been given more health points to each of the hard-points to counter the extra powerful weapons of the warship. The hive also have much more powerful weapons to make sure they could penetrate the shields.
The hive now spawns, I think, 60 dart squadrons, and has several hundreds in reserve. This large increase was mainly made to disable the drone ability to randomly destroy all hard-points of any ship, as can been seen in part 2 of the vid.
how did you get the lantean war ship? is there a guide on how to get new ships?
