Each modding group seems to be taking their mods in different directions. Some covering the Old Republic & before eras, some focusing on adding hundreds of units and maps, and even some removing the Star Wars aspect all together and giving the game a totally new radical feel.
It's all very exciting and we have made a guide below of some of the mods coming to a galaxy near you shortly.

Name: Total Realism Mod

Release Date: Out now

Empire at War: Total Realism mod (EaW:TR from now on) enhances "Star Wars: Empire at War" original game's realism and gameplay features on Ground, Space and Galactic Conquest. It was developed for those that wished to lay down more strategies on the battlefield than amass an overwhelming "doom" force and eradicate everything in their pass.
Realism enhancements were based on real-life examples, such as armor penetration law and a talor-made "food chain" among several classes of units, while Gameplay enhancements had as purpose to provide a challenging, thrilling real-time-strategy game by balancing all aspects of the game that contribute to this aim. Note that when we mean "balancing" the game we mean implementing the correct imbalances and not amplify the "scissors-rock-paper" base.
