I'd like to see ships from the X-Wing series of games. They could use the Platforms as light space defences. They could also have civilian ships flying around. Imagine at a neutral planet, there is a trading station with ships flying too and from i...  [Read More]

For multiplayer skirmish battles, it would be best to have base building as a selectable option before the game actually starts (even the first c&c had this). For multiplayer campaigns it will be the same as singleplayer....  [Read More]

Oh, I wasn't thinking the bonus would be a ship or a super weapon. A character like Thrawn would give a bonus on the accuracy of the ships under his command. Another character might increase repair speed etc....  [Read More]

Two features I'd like to see. First, in Rebellion you could assign characters to ships and planets. It would be good to be able to assign a commander character (Thrawn for example) to a fleet and they would give a bonus. Secondly, I'd like to see a...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Prime I mean, look at JA and KOTOR 2. They are both games that are based on the same engine and use a lot of the same assets (models, textures, and the like) as their earlier versions. Yet, they still took 1.5-2 years to develop...  [Read More]

Also, the victory conditions for the Rebels would be the fall of the Empire and the death of the Emperor and Vader (if they'er in the game). Even if that doesn't happen on Endor, the effect is pretty much the same. For the Empire to win they would h...  [Read More]

1. 20 planets might not seem like much to begin with but think about it. There will be two battles to control each planet, one space and one ground battle and if each battle takes 30 minutes to an hour, you're looking at a good 20-40 hours of gamepla...  [Read More]

Even though this game sounds great, I really hope that it will be modable. It should at least include a scenario editor. Having read the latest article at 1up.com, it seems that there are 20 or so planets to conquer. What would be good is if the edi...  [Read More]

Actually, there NJO referrence in KOTOR. Talk to the Mandalore bounty hunter and ask about his stories. Eventually he will tell you about how he saw an asteroid come to life and then fly off into hyperspace. There is more to it than that but I can't...  [Read More]

For that matter, you'll even be able to recruit powerful hero characters for your armies, including legendary Jedi, such as the fearsome Sith lord Darth Vader. That was from the gamespot article. Given the nature of the game, I suspect you can ass...  [Read More]

I don't think that its possible to compare games like AoK and C&C with games like Total War. It's like comparing Star Wars to Star Trek or Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings. In AoK and C&C, when you start to play, you have to gather your re...  [Read More]

The game only starts before ANH. I suspect as time passes events from the movies will happen during the game. As for 20 planets. It might not seem like much but if the battles are quite time consuming and there are 2 battles to control a planet and...  [Read More]

There are other reasons to draw upon EU material, such as planets. The game is supposed to have at least 20 planets to conquer and seeing as the movies don't show that many planets they have the choice of picking from existing EU planets that are al...  [Read More]
