I read somewhere that in the new campaign the characters who died in A New Hope (Obi-Wan, Tarkin etc.) will no longer be available. However they will still be available in Galactic Conquest mode....  [Read More]

I agree that those would be nifty, but think of the physics. If you have ships arriving from different sides of the map they must also travel to the system from different planets on the galactic map. Forces travelling the same route through hyperspac...  [Read More]

That sounds great, if you ask me. I knew there wasn't going to be any implementation of a Z-axis, and diplomacy and persistent damage were long shots at best (still would have been sweet, though). As much as I love the game I have to say that the AI...  [Read More]

The pen-and-paper roleplaying games have lots of really interesting vehicles for all sides; UAVs, Freerunners, AT-PTs, Floating Fortresses... Not to mention that the Rebels have lots of other types of SpecForce soldiers in addition to Infiltrators. :...  [Read More]

One thing I've been wondering about: what new units does the Rebellion get? The Underworld faction of course gets all new units, and the Empire is getting DarkTroopers, the SSD, TIE Interceptors, the Juggernaut etc. Hopefully the Rebels will be getti...  [Read More]

It would be cool if the special ability associated with Honoghr was that it would spawn a bounty hunter (or similar) for free every so often, to represent a Noghri team being made available to whomever controls is....  [Read More]

I thought the voice was just right. It had menace, bitterness and a certain cold quality. I'd be perfectly happy if that's the voice that makes it into the final game. Although if you had to change it, I agree with Wedge2211: Jeremy Irons would be...  [Read More]

Wasn't there a new and improved version of the Mon Calamari cruisers in the Dark Empire comics called the MD-90 or something? That could be a counter. And provided the B-wigs pack a sufficiently powerful punch (one squardon can take out a single hard...  [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....  [Read More]

It is an expansion, not a stand-alone title. The full title is "Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption", not "Empire at War 2: Forces of Corruption". No worries....  [Read More]

Does it ever have me excited! I can't wait to get my hands on this baby. I can't for the life of me figure out why so many people are so negative about it. Every single thing I've seen about it looks incredibly promising. Base customization, a whole...  [Read More]

With orbital bombardment as a gameplay option the planetary shields will suddenly become one of the most important buildings you can have. Sweet. :) I hope this is an option that will be available to all factions and not just the Underworld....  [Read More]

I'm not so sure it's set in stone that Zann gets the Eclipse. My guess is that the Underworld campaign is centred on GETTING the Eclipse, and if you succeed you get to use it in the last mission. If it is in the Galactic Conquest game at all I'm bett...  [Read More]

Maybe it's just me, but from watching the videos it looks like the Eclipse is a "background" unit, like the Death Star. It hangs untouchable in the background and fires its laser at certain intervals. Is this correct?...  [Read More]

In all fairness the expansion doesn't just "go sideways". The incorporation of the B-wing, the SSD and not to mention the second Death Star certainly demonstrates that the timeline is moving steadily forward. So we probably don't get to rep...  [Read More]
