Awesome. Another cool unit for the Underworld. I just wonder how they work together as an army. :) Anyone else notice the light tanks in that picture? Yeah, and one of those pictures looked like it had AT-PT? They looked to small to be AT-ST....  [Read More]

I've never had any trouble with the game before. I was playing last night and decided to log in under my secondary user name to check for buddy messages. So, I went back and tried to log in, but when I click on the connect button, it brings up the ti...  [Read More]

I dunno, I'd love to see some fancy maneuvers in a Falcon/Slave IV matchup. Or Red Squadron/Darth Vader matchup. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Some cool voice dialogue, a cinematic space sequence, perhaps unlock an optional story line, etc.....  [Read More]

Good questions. I'm also anxious to see what they do with the new hero units, but I would bet that we won't see the answers till much later. That's the kind of thing that I'd rather not find out till I discover it in the game, as a surprise. I'd pref...  [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]

Actually, these maps will be done using a relatively new funtion of the map editor that we just never had the time to exploit. In fact, the map editor you guys will eventually get to download will have this feature. You'll see... :D As I was saying...  [Read More]

Every planet has some special bonus or penalty. Kamino probably gives a bonus to infantry in some way. That seems obvious. Maybe even a free barracks building, and/or a ground location that can be captured to gain free clone troops during battle (or...  [Read More]

Here's my two cents: The character sounds like a TRUE pirate captain. Pirates are exotic. Most of the Star Wars actors are american or brittish. The pirate lord needs to be different. I would go with suave and debonair (Someone who sounds like Ricar...  [Read More]

Can you try to partition part of your F: drive and label it as C:? If you know how to do that, it should solve your problem. I'm not using an XP machine right now because I'm at work. I'll look at my XP machine when I get home, and I'll post instruct...  [Read More]

Tearing down ISDs with those little gunships is uniquely satisfying. Also, watching ships die with some shields left - i.e., hulls getting pummelled faster than the shields going down - is odd and fun as well. Yeah that's fun. Also, it's nice to dro...  [Read More]
