Game

Both are played from the same copy of the game: the folder or archive below holds them both. Each keeps its own saves. Mods are almost always made for Forces of Corruption, so running the original usually does not work with mods: turn them off below when you play it.

Commander

The name other players see in multiplayer. Kept in this browser.

Your game

This needs your own copy of Empire at War with Forces of Corruption (Steam or Gold Pack). Pick one way:

Installed game folder

Chrome · Edge · Brave on a computer

The folder that holds GameData and corruption. It is read where it is each time you play; nothing is copied.

Game archive

Any browser

A copy of the game folder in one file, kept in this browser's own storage.

Mods optional

A mod's own folder, the one with Data in it. It is read from your disk each time you play; nothing is copied or changed, and removing it here leaves the folder as it was. Mods are laid over the game in the order shown, the last on top. A total conversion needs the whole game under it: the installed folder, or an archive of it.

Opening a folder from this page
Making a game archive

An archive is your game folder packed into one .tar file, which any browser can import — also on a phone or tablet once you copy the file there. Expect about 4 GB.

  1. Find the game folder

    Steam: right-click Star Wars Empire at War: Gold Pack → Manage → Browse local files. It is the folder with GameData and corruption in it, usually
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Empire at War

  2. Pack it into a .tar

    Go up one level so you see the Star Wars Empire at War folder itself, right-click it and choose Compress to → TAR File. Windows puts the .tar next to it (if it asks for permission there, copy the folder to your Desktop first and compress that).

    Needs Windows 11 version 24H2 or later. No TAR File in the menu? Use the Windows 10 steps.

  3. Import it

    Drop the .tar on Import an archive. It is copied into this browser's storage once; afterwards you can delete the file. A gzipped .tar.gz works too, but not .zip or .7z.

Building from a checkout of this project? npm run pack makes a smaller archive with only what the skirmishes need; it imports here the same way.
Support the project

The game is free to play, made by RIRA in spare time. If you are enjoying it, you can support it on Ko-fi.
