Latest revision as of 15:36, 8 November 2026

Corey Loses is a highly prominent content creator, community leader and the lead developer behind the Empire at War Expanded (EaWX) modding team. Operating primarily within the Star Wars: Empire at War community, Corey has been instrumental in keeping the classic 2006 real-time strategy game alive and massively popular in the modern era. He blends his experience as a veteran modder with his expansive knowledge of Star Wars Legends (the Expanded Universe) to create sprawling, lore-accurate total conversion mods, which he showcases through his highly successful YouTube and Twitch channels.

Content & Modding

Corey’s online presence is split between massive mod development and dedicated content creation, providing a transparent bridge between the modding team and the player base:

Corey Loses (Gaming Channel): His primary channel focusing on game development, strategy and modding. Here, he posts preview playthroughs of upcoming mod builds, developer diaries, mechanic breakdowns and modding tutorials to help others learn how to manipulate the Empire at War engine.

Corey's Datapad (Lore Channel): A massive sister channel dedicated purely to Star Wars lore. Corey utilizes his encyclopedic knowledge of the Expanded Universe to explain historical conflicts, faction structures and obscure characters, which directly ties into the intricate design philosophies of his mods.

Community Interaction: Corey heavily leverages his Discord server and Patreon to run beta tests, gather community feedback and openly document the complex development cycles of his projects.

Projects & Contributions

Corey acts as the lead developer of the Empire at War Expanded (EaWX) project, which encompasses several distinct, massively popular total conversion mods for the Forces of Corruption expansion:

Thrawn's Revenge: The team's flagship mod. In development for over 14 years, this mod covers the post-Endor period of the Star Wars Legends timeline. It features an incredibly complex galactic economy, government mechanics, deep hero command tiers and dozens of playable factions (including the Imperial Remnant, New Republic, Empire of the Hand and various minor Imperial warlords).
Fall of the Republic: A massive total conversion set during the Clone Wars, pitting the Galactic Republic against the Separatist Alliance with deeply integrated story elements, specialized hero units and unique political mechanics.
Revan's Revenge: An Old Republic-era mod bringing the ancient conflicts of the Sith and Mandalorians into the EaW engine.
Imperial Reign: An upcoming EaWX project focusing on the classic Galactic Civil War era.

Current Status

Corey Loses stands as one of the most important figures in the history of Star Wars: Empire at War. His work on Thrawn's Revenge alone has kept thousands of players actively engaged with the game well over a decade after its official support ended. Between his massive YouTube following (boasting over 140,000 subscribers across his twin channels) and his continuous, massive mod updates (moving well into versions 3.5 and 4.0), Corey remains the definitive link between hardcore Star Wars lore enthusiasts and the retro strategy gaming community.

The History of Thrawn's Revenge - 14 Years Later: This video provides a fantastic deep dive directly from Corey into the origins of the modding team and the incredible 14-year development cycle that helped keep the Empire at War community thriving.
