Cheese - I'd say its a pretty sure thing the RSD will be in the game. After all, we've already seen the Republic Assault Ship from AotC, and the Republic Pod Walker (AT-AP) from RotS....  [Read More]

So people are starting to think this game might suck? I seem to recall someone saying that a while ago. Who was it? Oh, thats right, me. Love to say I told you so...so, I told you so :) Really though, although I knew they weren't going to include t...  [Read More]

popcorn - quite true, although the Dominion are from another part of the same galaxy, not a different one. However, for all intents and purposes it was cut off from the Federation/Klingons/Romulans/Cardassians/Ferengi. I never thought about it before...  [Read More]

Didn't they just terraform Coruscant and made it lush and green again? But thats everything thats wrong with the NJO. I mean really, on Earth we have a lot of different ecologies, but in Star Wars there is only ever one per planet. I mean- Tatooine =...  [Read More]

luke - yes, but when you fight someone in RoN they are at the same level as you are. However, would you really be interested in using US M-1 MBT's to fight Greek Hoplites? Naja - but the whole point about the YV is that they are radical. Let me show...  [Read More]

Naja - it's not that I think an Old Republic vs Sith RTS would be a bad idea, just that it wouldn't be suitable for EaW. Afterall, you'd then be spanning thousands of years between the factions - I mean, really, would anyone want to play an RTS where...  [Read More]

anton - actually, the Exar Kun era or the founding of the Republic would be horrible choices for an x-pac. Not because they're uninteresting, but simply because they wouldn't fit into a game of Empire vs Rebels. The best x-pac would be Republic vs Co...  [Read More]

anton - you're right, Star Wars has changed a great deal. After all, the main character was going to be something like 'Luke Starkiller' and the final battle in ANH was going to be on Yavin IV between the Empire and a Rebel/Wookiee alliance. starmar...  [Read More]

popcorn - yeah it is obviously a matter of opinion, as are all things. I just like the prequels more but then I never really got into the originals. Naja - I know that Lucas has approved a post-RotJ universe, and yeah, the OT does focus more on Luke...  [Read More]

In regards to Lucas and the post-RotJ time frame I have a few things to say. 1. The Prequel triology is better than the Originals. Yes, I know most of you are old farts but really, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi are far worse than The Phantom Men...  [Read More]

Gotta say, I loved the C&C series but I am rather concerned about EaW, primarily due to the utterly pathetic and un-StarWarsy ships we are getting. Two examples of what I mean are here- http://www.empireatwar.net/fall2005/gallery/screenshots/spa...  [Read More]

See, this poll should have allowed multiple votes. I mean, I would LOVE for the Venator (Republic Attack Cruiser) to be in, as well as the Banking Clan Frigate. Having said that, it would be just plain stupid not to include such staples as the TIE In...  [Read More]

Well, can't say any of them are blowing my skirt up. BFME2 should be interesting, but as Angelus pointed out, its based on the books which I have never read, so while it might be good in that respect, I doubt it will have the epic battles that I lov...  [Read More]

FroZ - where did you get that idea? By capture, I mean capture - ie, you take complete control of the vessel. BeBop - perhaps, but it would be only a small advantage and I don't think capturing an ISD would be all that easy. fuzzy - not really, bec...  [Read More]

I agree with FroZ here. Blowing up planets with the Death Star might be cool, but ultimately it's pointless and harmful to your conquering. In addition, and yes I know i've gone on about this before, but EaW lacks diversity that is seen in all other...  [Read More]

What I would like to see in EaW is an editor much like that in CivIII. After all, it has been said that many Ep3 units will be in the game (for the beginning I assume) so if there is a CivIII-type editor, it shouldn't be too hard to make Confederacy...  [Read More]
