One of the Petro guys said that the Wookipedia article isn't correct and/or complete. I believe they are still holding back on parts of the complete unit list. Two more weeks and we'll know for sure. Edit: IGN claims to have the 'official' complete...  [Read More]

So, when they steal units from the other factions, will they be identical to the original unit or will Tyber customize them for his faction? P.S. Delphi, are they making you work seven days a week now?...  [Read More]

Wow, the Vengance is cool. Stealth it up next to the Victory, take down the shields with standard weapons, then just before they can kill it, self-destruct. Massive carnage. Muahahahaha!!! I noticed that in the demo there are 5 different taunts when...  [Read More]

I'm sure they thought of that and they'll make sure it's balanced. In skirmish games, I'm sure he's mega-expensive to build and takes a long time to build as well. In campaign, different heros have different timers, so I would imagine that his is lon...  [Read More]

There's been alot of changes made to skirmish, including three-way battles. I think it's safe to assume that some maps will remain as two-way-only maps, therefore it's likely that the existing maps will remain unchanged. (just a guess, but it seems l...  [Read More]
