1. Why is the Deathstar in all the space maps for nonskirmish? Is it some sort of placeholder for when the Deathstar is at those planets? Similar question for all land structures (turbolasers, for example). 2. Why isn't 'waterfall' an object? I see... [Read More]
It is Home One. We scaled it up slightly for effect - we may leave it there since it looks cool bigger :) We haven't shown many of the Rebel units yet, but they DO have a counter.... [Read More]
Everyone is correct - the units were enhanced (or de-enhanced) for the demo, and none of them reflect the true power levels they will have in the final game. Also, the Executor is fully mobile, though it is slow and ponderous. It is slightly slower t... [Read More]
Actually, work on FoC didn't start until around November, and that was just pre-planning stages. Real work didn't begin until late January. The pirates are completely separate from Tyber's forces. They do share one ship (the Interceptor) but Tyber's... [Read More]
The main question, to clear things from begining it this: Is EaW:FoC made for "hardcore" RTS players, who like Total War, Rebellion and other "complex" RTS, or is it made for RTS players, who like C&C, Starcraft, Warcraft and... [Read More]
Tarkin is dead for the purposes of the story campaign (as is Obi-Wan). He will still be available in the galactic conquest ("sandbox") mode.... [Read More]
Several units will be retro-fitted to counter stealth. For example, A-wings are known to carry surveillance equipment, and the Empire already has TIE scouts which could do the job. These are just examples - the final counters have not been decided ye... [Read More]
Well, I haven't seen yoda or luke because the links aren't working, but I wouldn't worry about ballance issues at this point. Everything you see will most likely be exagerated in power so that it looks cool in the E3 demos and they'll do real balance... [Read More]
IGN preview mentions these as "new planets" .. does that mean we're getting ground maps for these planets? Utapau (or however it's spelt) could also go alongside these as a "difficult terrain" planet (i.e, no real ground) so is th... [Read More]
I can`t say I like the new pirate/thug leader`s young teen voice in the trailer, but I`ll live with it. Good trailer too! Glad you enjoy the game :) This brings up a good point though; I saw the trailor for the first time along with all of you, an... [Read More]
I know Xizor was cut from EaW; I think they'll put him in again for this one. And the "Lady of the Sith" is a Dathomir Nightsister, a group of Force-wielding witches from the secluded planet Dathomir. Her name is Silri :)... [Read More]
Due to the time period of the game, you aren't going to see any prequel trilogy heroes that weren't alive in the original trilogy. There are a few listed above that will make it into the expansion as playable heroes, and a few that will at least make... [Read More]
kotor was good but i just dont like the idea of some mystical faction with powers that seem like some other sci-fi type of game and "laser whips" but its just my opinion kotor had most of the original star wars things like the force powers... [Read More]
...Though one of the screenshots does show Boba Fett as an underworld hero on the galactic map. That's probably just a placeholder icon for an Underworld hero that wasn't finished yet. Boba Fett's head makes a nice stub :)... [Read More]
Wow, I am excited the only thing that sucks is that Darth Torpid's comment that only two factions will be supported in the Galactic conquest mode. Come on put all three in there. I want the pirates to take to the offensive sometimes. Cause I am not s... [Read More]
torpid can u say whether or not the pop caps for both land and space have been raised to a moderate number Not yet, but we're still in the "adding stuff in" phase. That would come in at the balance phase at a later date. I would think it's... [Read More]
Remember that I can't answer questions about anything that hasn't been revealed yet, so some of your questions will have to wait until the dev chat. I can say that the focus of gameplay for the Underworld is very different from the other sides. Their... [Read More]
One thing I noticed about the trailer: They are being VERY carefull NOT to show us any hint of the tactical combat user interface. I'm hoping to see some changes there. Can any of the devs comment on possible changes to the GUI in combat mode at this... [Read More]
Based on that observation, I would not say that the Empire is losing Vader`s flagship. I also have trust in Petroglyph to not screw up anything so fundamental (!). Keep in mind that the screen shots were taken from the E3 demo, and those things are... [Read More]
