I think I can understand why one would not want rebs vs rebs in the Campaign mode, but it makes no sense to have that same restriction on Skirmish mode. Same goes for team games. I have yet to play an RTS that was not more fun on a team than individu...  [Read More]

Very cool. It would be cooler if they would post, but I know they're busy and I would much rather have a kickass game and no posts to a mediocre game that has a forum novel attached to it....  [Read More]

I second Luke. There isnt a person in the world who isnt more stubbornly sure of their ideas than Windu, and, on one level, I have to admire that. Although, from personal experience, it does get annoying....  [Read More]

Yep. He's also vaguely Napoleanic. I was thinking more on the scope of things outside of the campaign. The x-pack would be no fun if it were divided completely between two different storylines....  [Read More]

...if they play their cards right with EaW, it will become like one of those iconic Ensemble games, like Age of Kings - one of those addictive, moddable, different sorts of games that are still popular 5-10 years after they were made... Now its tru...  [Read More]

I agree with DMUK. The game is still in the creation process, and things like a crazy detailed death scenes are less important than having the game functioning normally for the press to see. I am sure (if only in the spirit of equity) that the Rebs &...  [Read More]

Naja: Have any of those aspects been confirmed (aside from the Death Star part)? I was under the impression, from all the videos/interviews I saw that the game would play like R:TW in space. If this is true, I wonder how they'll manage simultaneous b...  [Read More]

If the game plays like R:TW, then we aren't controlling the planets in "real time". There will be a real time combat mode which lasts for x amount of time, followed by a more pulled back strategic mode where you can see the whole galaxy and...  [Read More]

The differences between the civs has little bearing on what I am talking about. It does make the civ selection interesting, and adds a cool dynamic to the game, but doesn't really affect the balance between economic and military complexity. "An...  [Read More]

OK, in normal RTS's (AoE, _Craft, C&C) there is, in varying degrees, a level economic micromanagement inherent in the game. You must tend to your workers and protect them and shift them and what not. There also is an inverse relationship between...  [Read More]

Honestly, taking threads off-topic into massive nonsensical arguments is what we do best.:) That said, I recognize that R:TW has a similar economic system (though it does seem to have much more to do in between turns economically/politically, but I...  [Read More]

Yes, R:TW did lack resource gathering, but it had a lot of other stuff from the strategic and tactical perpectives that EaW seems lacking in. The battles from EaW seem identical in setup to your typical RTS, with none of the other stuff that R:TW had...  [Read More]

The only thing that I am hesitant about is that the game seems aimed more at the casual audience (in the beginning the guy said this was a game for people who were overwhelmed by current strategy games). BFME aimed at the casual crowd, and didn't giv...  [Read More]

This is why I am not too keen on the Death Star being used outside of the "Conquer the Galaxy"-type campaign. I guess it could be seen as a way to end stalemated games, but it just feels cheap to me, like the Titans in AoT. And the Rebels n...  [Read More]

The AoM demo looked (and played) a lot worse on my computer than the full game. They won't "open up the graphics" in the sense that things are locked now and will be in the full game, but demos are not optimized at all. Thus people are forc...  [Read More]

I will probably play as the Rebel scum. And realistic vs. unrealistic unit massing is rediculous. The point of strategy games is you can do things differently from the movies/history/developer-created backstory. If the Rebels want to try and field a...  [Read More]
