It also adds a large number of new units and heroes for each faction while also adding new planets and a large number of new Galactic Conquest campaigns to use them in. The mod adds new content, gameplay changes, and graphical updates. The mod also contains several other minor factions such as the Hutt Cartel, the Hapes Consortium and the Corporate Sector Authority. While it's based on and requires the Forces of Corruption expansion pack to play, the Zann Consortium has been removed and, instead, has been replaced by Prince Xizor's Black Sun faction. The mod takes place post A New Hope and spans from just after the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY to the end of The Empire at the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY.
The current version of the mod is '2.8.2: Commencing Ground Assault'.
Inactive for 5 years (Last version was made in 2009), AOTR was revived by user 'ThatOneBullet' in 2014. Created by the Steiner Modding Group, the mod was originally made in german before it received some english translation patches over different versions.
