I'd done that with infiltrators in the original EaW...those guys are pretty awesome if managed properly in a land battle. I think that the strategy has two weaknesses: (1) It's most effective against an AI player that doesn't adapt to your tactics....  [Read More]

I'm not sure if this was a bug, but I'm sick of this business when you clear corruption from a world and destroys your space station and all structures. That was silly. The game manual does mention that if you remove corruption on a world where the C...  [Read More]

My first impression is that this game seems to push my graphics card way more than EaW did. Either that or a lot of processes snuck into the background on my machine when I loaded it up the first time... Oh, well, time to turn down some settings. Fel...  [Read More]

Personally I am very pleased if petro have made sure transports don't appear in space battles. After all there were a few times where I had a large combined fleet of Mon Cal Cruisers, Alderaan Cruisers, and ground troops. When my fleet popped out of...  [Read More]

First, I want to shout out to Petroglyph: while Empire at War wasn't necessarily groundbreaking, it created the foundation on which they could build Forces of Corruption, which looks like it's an order of magnitude deeper and better than EaW! Now, on...  [Read More]

This might be something where your boarding shuttle uses its special ability on an enemy ship and, if the shuttle gets in without being destroyed, a timer starts running and when it hits zero, the enemy ship blows up. The timer bar probably varies de...  [Read More]

Rust_Lord's point about dedicated warships versus converted liners is an excellent one. ImpStar's should totally blow Mon Cal's out of space in one-on-one matches just based on that fact. At that close range we won't last long against those Star Des...  [Read More]

Having the ability to disguise the kamikaze ship as any other vessel would give the Consortium a new level of sneakiness, though. And why not ram and explode at the same time? (Anybody see what happened to the Battlestar Pegasus last night? HO-LY cra...  [Read More]

Exactly. Just like in the original C&C where Nod didn't have anything that could go head-to-head with a Medium Tank or a Mammoth Tank, yet they could still win. Also like in 'Generals' where the GLA doesn't really have any heavy armour or airpowe...  [Read More]

Great demo. Mass drivers are wicked awesome. ;) I'm curious--I think the yellow line sweeping through a special ability, toggled by right-click, indicates that the unit will use the special ability at its own discretion. Why on earth would the auto-...  [Read More]
