You seem to miss my point, Viceroy. I'm saying it is possible to make a game where only units from the movie are used. I'll agree with Luke's Dad that the pop limit is a tad low, but the fact remains that the game LOOKS like the movies. Star Wars has...  [Read More]

I realise BFME is paper-scissors-rock, but the important difference for me is that whereas previous games have paper-beats-rock-beats-scissors-beats-paper, BFME has made in paper-annihilates-rock-annihilates-scissors-annihilates-paper. For example,...  [Read More]

Okay, the issue isn't whether the BFME balance is perfect. What I'm trying to say is that a model similar to it is a good idea. Maybe you can win by unit massing in BFME, but if a similar model to theirs is applied consistently then it could work. A...  [Read More]

I didn't say BFME was well balanced, I just said it discourages unit massing. Elves are too hard to mass since they don't last for long, and although archers with fire arrows are powerful they can easily be taken out with cavalry. My point was that...  [Read More]

I don't believe the game designers intend for their games to turn into mass-fests. Afterall, what's the point in spending the time creating the art and programming for a number of units when only one or two in the army will ever get used? Unfortunat...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Herminator I think the key to balance here is the cost. How many Stormtroopers can you train and equip for the same amount of money that it costs to construct an AT-AT? And I imagine that building a walker will also take conside...  [Read More]

I'm glad this thread has inspired some thoughtful discussion that seemed to otherwise be lacking from the forum. stingerhs: Indeed I had seen that screenshot, and as I said there isn't more than 30 troops in the battle. Which is rediculous. Phreak:...  [Read More]

Maybe its because vehicles are more used than infantry.No they aren't. If you've played Generals, you'd remember how little infantry had to do. Vehicles were used most, but the occasional rocket troop hording is deadly to tanks... anywhoExactly, and...  [Read More]

It certainly resembles the SPHA-T at first glance but it is different in several ways. While Viceroy is incorrect in saying the SPHA-T did not have legs, the legs it did have were rather different to the ones in the picture. Also the control deck was...  [Read More]

Well much has gone on in this thread since my last visit. There are just a few issues I want to address: 1. To those who still think tracked vehicles are more terrain-capable than the curiously named All Terrain walkers, your logic is faulty. Yes,...  [Read More]

As one of the major critics of the TIE Crawler's inclusion, I'd like to start off with my take on your points. 1. This is not true. Tracked vehicles are quite limited when it comes to where they can travel, and indeed in nearly all respects walkers...  [Read More]

I agree with lukeiamyourdad. The Empire would be very limited in their covert operations, but that in no way implies limited scouting ability. The Empire is all about establishing presence, not sneaking around. That's why Stormtroopers wear white, s...  [Read More]

Exactly. I didn't read the spoiler as I took a vow not to, but as I've said before it is the fact that the Jedi Council misinterpret the prophecy that makes things interesting. If they really believed the prophecy meant that Anakin would kill all bu...  [Read More]

Well I never said the BFME heroes were well balanced, I am yet to play the game so I wouldn't know. However I do like the idea that the game almost revolves around them. As I've said in the past, I would like to see buildable heroes in a Star Wars R...  [Read More]

OFF TOPIC: Viceroy, yes that is what Windu implies, but don't forget I'm assuming that the Jedi are interpreting the prophecy incorrectly. They obviously aren't interpreting it the same way I am or they wouldn't be too keen on the fact Anakin will ki...  [Read More]

Viceroy, I'm hardly dug into a hole. It's true that the numbers thing is really just my way of interpreting the prophecy - and apparently Kryllith's as well. CodeDrifter's interpretation is also valid. We may find out which interpretation is correct...  [Read More]
