Yes, Dark Crusade (expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War) released a demo a month or so ago. And there's nothing wrong with releasing a demo after the main game; there are still people who might want to try it out before buying....  [Read More]

They can't possibly give the Executor the "boost weapons" ability. With 30 bloody hardpoints that would wipe out a whole fleet in 10 seconds!...  [Read More]

So the way I understand it, Vader will fly around in his TIE Advanced until you build the Executor, at which point he transfers to it instead. Is that how it works? Or do you not get Vader until you've built the Executor?...  [Read More]

Just like in: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. rebs: more hero based. imps: better ships, modifiers, ect. Not necessarily better modifiers, but other than that I agree completely. The Empire's strength was its overwhelming m...  [Read More]

I would also like to see Mon Mothma become more useful. I'm not sure if Piett's Star Destroyer-specific bonuses applies to all kinds of Star Destroyers or just the ISDs; I suspect the latter. That means he won't have any effect on the Executor....  [Read More]

Probably the same way. Just so that I know I'm being clear: while three players can play GC at once, only two can engage each other in battle at any one time. For example, if the Empire is holding one planet and both the Rebels and Zann Consortium se...  [Read More]

If the SSD is a hero unit (Darth Vader) then of course there can only be one. If it's a regular unit it's possible that you could build more than one. I doubt it, however; more than one SSD would imbalance the game....  [Read More]

It would be good if one of the devs could say something about how the Vader/Executor combo works; do we get the Executor for free when we get Vader? Things like that....  [Read More]

Excellent points here. I'm wondering what Yoda's abilitys will be though. Yoda has two abilities: One is the "combat frenzy" thing where he goes green ninja on a bunch of stormtroopers; the other is a meditation that will reveal all or part...  [Read More]

Does that mean the Empire gets the Super Star Destroyer for free then? If yes, that's crazy talk! Imagine playing a GC, getting to tech level 4 and *poof* superweapon. I hope the Empire has to outlay some serious funds to get that bad boy, so the...  [Read More]

"Mid level"... that sounds like Tech 3. With both Assault Frigates and the MC 30 that means the Rebels will have a slight advantage in space for a while, at least until Tech 4 when the Empire (presumably) gets the Executor. Sounds like it'l...  [Read More]

You know, that's just what I thought when I first read it. However, if you couple this with the repairable hard-points, I reckon it gives space combat a bit more tension during a battle. I'm assuming that this means Hangars and Comm arrays will beco...  [Read More]

I was thinking you could have both, why not? If you remove bombing runs, that means the rebels lose the destructive power of the y-wings, not replaced by anything similar. I reckon you'll have both - you know you want it too. :nod: Very true; I had...  [Read More]

That's a good point. So I'm assuming that you'll have bombing runs up until you get ISDs/Mon Calamari cruisers, which should be at Tech level 4. Or maybe you'll get it at Tech 3 (Victorys and Assault Frigates)....  [Read More]
