Heavy - but that isn't 'hit and run'. The sort of tactic you are talking about there is more a diversionary strike, or even simply a small division of forces, but it is not 'hit and run'....  [Read More]

luke - I agree about the use of the Crawler as a last-ditch weapon, but isn't this game supposed to be based during the films, particually between Ep3 and 4? If so, the TIE Crawler doesnt exist and is obselete. Also, your example with the King Tiger...  [Read More]

Okay, I've been away for a few days, so I will go ahead and respond as to why the TIE Crawler would never have existed in the first place, and why it makes a bad combat vehicle. Heavy - 1. As Vostok said, no it can't. While tracks are useful in gett...  [Read More]

Actually my intent was never to annoy anyone, although I seem to be quite good at it, but instead to voice my opinion on the direction this game seems to be going. If people think the game will be great, good for them, I hope they're right and they...  [Read More]

luke - I never claimed that the game should be completely film units, EU units are needed for diversity. However, they should supplement cannon units, not replace them or do things better than them. Also, as for film units, they would include Empire...  [Read More]

Heavy - no i'm not. What i'm asking for if four different civs with a reasonable number of units. Personally, I think that 30 different space units and 30 different ground units is excessive. As for fairness, how am I not being fair? I was under the...  [Read More]

So Lucasarts is watching hey? Well maybe, just maybe, my little rant wasn't in vain. Of course, the whole point of that thread was to express my displeasure at the exclusion of the PT and hence ignoring of PT fans, and also some other issues I have w...  [Read More]

Insane - so now you try to cover your lies with more lies? In your reply to my first post, you included a supposed "quote" that contained a 'phrase' I never at any time used. That is lying, and using a fake quote. Trying to lie to get yours...  [Read More]

First off, I think I should point out right now that this thread is not intended to insult or flame anyone, it is actually my opinion. The main reason I think this game will be rubbish is simply because it is too limited. Having gotten SW:GBG shortl...  [Read More]

Hi folks, i'm back for a quick post here. I have been following the news of this game for a while, and must say I am not impressed. Therefore, from what we know, i'm pretty confident that this game will crash, for a number of reasons. 1. Too small -...  [Read More]

Raven - i've never played Warcraft, but remember that the C&C seies is very old, so they probably couldnt put any more than two civs in. Also, i'm not spamming every thread, i've only posted in this one....  [Read More]

FroZ - I was saying that on Hoth, they used the trenches and air power, while on Endor they used stealth. Incidently, I was given 'Empires: Dawn of the Modern World' for Christmas, and think it's great. Anyway, for those who havent played it, you ca...  [Read More]

Except that I never said the Rebels should sneak around. Going from my template, which is obviously how I think the Rebels should be portrayed, they do have some stealth units like the Sniper. However, their main strength is the ability of their Inf...  [Read More]

luke- So the AT-AT attacking the Rebel defense lines wasn't a head-on attack? Correct. You have to remember that the Rebels weren't attempting to win the battle, they knew they couldn't. Instead, their ground forces and some combat pilots fought a de...  [Read More]

FroZ - thats basically what i'm talking about. As for the Rebels, a wayto get them to use sneak attacks would be to githem cloaking units, like Sniper's, and also deny them Vehicles and the ability to go head-to-head in ground battles....  [Read More]
