http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/03/13/china.npc.law/index.html Red China (People's Republic of China) has authorized a bill which allows the nation to use military force against the island nation of Taiwan (aka T'ai-Wan, or the Republic of...  [Read More]

The TIE Crawler, speeder bikes, and infantry. All there already. Read the whole thing:p . Dragonball Fan Add the MC-90 to the list. Jan Gaarni: And the TIE Scout. I will. But can I see your sources? I double-checked, and I did indeed confuse the...  [Read More]

This is a list of the ships I've seen in the screen shots of the game. There does not seem to be many to choose between (only 30 so far, including infantry, turrets, etc.), but most likely more will be revealed later on (namely, rebel landing craft a...  [Read More]

Look at the LucasArts official site: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swempireatwar/images/screenshots/59.jpg Shot 1, 40, 50, and 59. 50 is probably the best pic of reference, as you see them up close. There are Imperator Class ships ("Normal&quo...  [Read More]

Isn't the full trilogy already epic? Exactly. It is. In addition, having the Republic and Confederacy will take full advantage of the current SW focus on the prequel trilogy Far from necessarily a good thing. Battle for Naboo "took advantage of...  [Read More]

1. Variety - as different as the Empire and Rebellion are, it won't take long for people to master each civ, which will quickly get boring. An extra two civs (Republic and Confederacy) will double the amount of variety in the game and will hence make...  [Read More]

That one should've been multiple choice, if you ask me. And "yes" should really have been just "add more with an expansion". That's what they'll have to do if they're to add more civs anyhow. But good poll idea. So it's really...  [Read More]

Good question. Maybe yes, maybe not. As for the "yes" option: Well, lots of good games have many civs. Domions II, which I already mentioned, has 17 civs. 17 unique, varied, creative civs, each with a unique tech tree of over a dozen ne...  [Read More]

I hope it IS like B4ME. It's great to be freed from the tedium of gathering and able to concentrate on fighting. If we have to mine rock on hoth, or cut down trees on endor.. I may just go insane And I hope it'll be like Rome Total War, where units c...  [Read More]

OK, here's the deal: Management and battles are handled separately, using different systems. There can perfectly well be a huge and complex management/building/resource gathering system (not that there has to be:p) even though it's not part of the b...  [Read More]

If we get a powerful editor I know I'll be making scenarios. My hopes are that we get an editor at least as powerful as that used by Empires and Empire Earth. And a unit editor to match Warcraft III's. I won't make new models or anything, though....  [Read More]

Dang: Rather than relying on scripted missions and story points, the developers have decided to let the story develop dynamically. There are no missions here; players will simply fight from planet to planet in a freeform galaxy. The persistence of un...  [Read More]

I hope deployment will be like in Ground Control, where you start with one or more potential drop zones and then choose which drop ships go where. Drop ships leave, attack begins. Oh deeeeearr... did you nice iccle artillery get taken out by hit and...  [Read More]

That's not a bad idea. Back on Crawlers, though: Why not have them? I want as many different units to select from as possible, as long as it does not hurt balance or diversity, and as long as it's clear to me which vehicles do what (take Empire Eart...  [Read More]

OK, let's backtrack: You said: BFME is not the only RTS to use base building while in combat SWGB,WC3,BFME,AOK and many more. If you want a Total War game based on Star Wars go and download a mod and play it. I've been playing SWGB for 3 years and...  [Read More]

Without the base building it will be another flopped SW RTS and SWGB will still hold the crown for the best SW RTS. I just hope its not like the C&C series of RTS where the mods are the only thing it has going for it. No one says that there will...  [Read More]
