That Intro!
This is going to be a LEGENDAY lunch break!!!
Ah, the Dark Empire. AKA the Empire at its true peak in power. They have everything at their disposal to use and are virtually unstoppable; especially once the Eclipse and Soverign are built.
Yeah be careful early on when blitzing in this mod, TR 3.4 update replaced the passive resources system with infrastructure score to discourage blitz playstyle and forcing you to build up your planetary infrastructure or face the massive building cost penalty. Not necessarily makes you turtle through the GC, but it encourages players to take it slow and approach things more tactically.
Coruscant has a lot of building spaces and leaving them empty really gimped your infrastructure score unfortunately, same goes for Kuat. So I would advise you to invest in building space defenses and production buildings before going for another planet.
Also may I ask what submod did you use to allow a 3-planet start on the main large GC map? I would like to know because it's been a long time since I've been on TR and FotR 😅
Let's turn cruel AI on!!
ISB agent. Codename "Enigma":
Dark greetings Grand Admiral. The process has been successful, The Emperor lives! The restoration of our Empire is at hand! The journey will by long and hard, but with the new World Devastator at our command, this so called new republic and the traitors moffs will know Imperial wraith! Already we make progress. Kuat and even Coursant our ours once again. My agents have done their work, The Core is in chaos, but with the legitimacy of the Emperor and the dark science of Byss, we can build a stronghold in the Core that will lead us to victory.
Oh wow nice, I think this is the first video (besides the guy who made the framework) to use the Custom GC feature, that's pretty cool to see!
As for the Infrastructure issue (which you ran into at around 55:00), it's mostly meant to stop folks from snowballing into a big doom fleet and have to consolidate. Taking planets with lots of build slots (like Kuat and Coruscant) is going to cause the issue to spike because you have less slots used and the score is calculated off of that, which will take longer to fix. Might be worth grabbing Palpatine and keeping him on one planet to build it up, then move him to the other (this also means building the eco and secondary defensive structures too). Bilbringi is a Tier 4 shipyard with only 3 slots, so that's a good next target if you don't wanna over-extend too much.
Also I admire your dedication to using all the options the custom roster gave you, I spied both Jump Troopers and Scout Troopers. I wouldn't recommend using the Jump Troopers though, it only builds a single squad rather than a platoon, so if you want them I'd suggest using the field bases instead.
there is no need for the cruel difficulty
Admiral's Log #1
The Emperor LIVES! He has returned from Byss and galvanized the remaining imperial forces under his command. I am proud to serve under my emperor once again and unite the galaxy. The Rebellion has had it's chance, but it has failed, only our emperor can rule. My only regret is Thrawn died before our emperor could return. He would turn this galactic conquest from taking decades to only a few years. Hopefully his replacement is up to the task.

So, I guess the AOTR Playthrough is temporarily suspended…
Edit: Wait a Second-this isn’t Admiral Rooster
What an amazing opening! It's all I've seen si far, but it's awesome. Looking forward to it
Cruel AI when?
The infastructure is really easy to maintain as long as you build the infastructure building while you expand and take planets. Its the red building with the heart icon, and Building a tax agency on the same planet will also offset the cost. Also, since you're the dark empire and are the only faction that has access to super weapons (the eclispe, world devastators), cruel AI you should be able to handle. Infact thats probably the best chance the AI has.
you get the Assertor as the Eriadu Authority
I'll be perfectly honest, the whole reborn Palpatine era of Legends was not my favourite. Just felt silly and kind of lame. So i was happy that Disney did away with it and didn't lazily copy that whole plot line !
yeessss yessss yesssss
