  1. I agree With regards to land battles though it really strikes and annoys me why no other games developer try and copy the way the Total War series handles there battles with set armies going into battle on an actual battlefield or sieging a city. So many RTS games still copy the AOE formula an to be quite honest I just find these games simple and boreing.. I want to go into battle like a real general would not gather a ton of AT-ST's and go on a rampage without any real idea where im going. Whats the point in shooting factories ect... my main goal should be to destroy my opponants army? Okay so air units may need work done to implement on a Total war battlefield but Starwars units should be easy. Divsions of 100 stormtroopers in a loose formation flanked by AT-ST's 2 AT-ST's bringing up the rear, mabye a few specilised unit's that can deploy a mounted repeating blaster.... few mobile artillery pieces. The rebellion can make use of trenches which they can build on planets they control and defensive turrets. Storm troopers would basically march forward like 17th century musketmen in a loose formation (like the clones in EP2) and engage enemy infanty. whilst supported by armoured units which are basically mechanized calvlary. I reckon this would be great and make for a far better battle experiance than just the dumb AOE,C&C way...it's like 10 years out of date.
  2. ah right so it is after the first DS is blown up....... thought it was set prior to that, may aswell be though I suppose
  3. Yeah I agree great game, would be unfair to compare it to Rebellion as it is not a sequal but a game in it's own right..ship naming would have been so much better though
  4. Nice one.... Tarkin should have been in there from the start!!
  5. Hi all, Was just looking for some help on the Reb Editor, not had much of a chance to play around with it yet but was wondering if it is possible to change the names of characters and units ect using the editor and is it possible to swap the current picture of say Darth Vader for a photo of him If so...how would this be done?
  6. Hi, Just been playing Starwars - Empire at War for the last week or so and think it is a great game but could have been better! This reminded me of a little flawed gem of a game I played in the 90's called Star Wars Supremacy or Rebellion over in the states. So I searched my room and finally found a highly scratched rebellion CD-ROM at the bottom of my dusty chest of drawers. I remember this game especially because it had a large encylopedia and a great array of characters to put on missions and command armies and fleets, also the ability to name ships and fleets was there.... something which empire at war could have done. Also I remember taking great pride in my fleets and being very upset if I lost a capital ship in battle because I became attached to them and they took time to build. This is a feeling Empire at war completly lacks as you can build star destroyers with the click of a finger and the auto names assigned to them just dont do it for me..especially since most of them end up being the same!! Also a major thing that I felt Empire at War lacked was experiance for troops or ships which have seen alot of combat and again the ability to rename them. Obviously if you created a Regiment of Stormtroopers which developed into a crack fighting force you would want to give it a special name to merit it's elite status, you would then have these guys fighting in all the major battles you encountered..or even just name a squad for a great brave defence of a planet. But even more simply how much better would it be if you could just name you armies to say the 31st Fondar Armoured divsion or your fleet guarding Courscant to the Core Defense Fleet. Empire would have benifited from a wide array of characters like rebellion aswell again further putting pride in your fleets... how great would it be knowing your prize Star Destroyer or Calamari Cruiser was commanded by Grand Admiral Thrawn or Admiral Akbar rather than just an unnamed officer. Also the fleets and armies would get bonus depending on the type of character in command..... say mabye all Interdictors under Thrawn get a speed and defence bonus ect ect Empire is a great game, espcially the space battles and obviously more dumbed down than rebellion to hit it's target audiance but wow what a great game you could make my merging ideas from both games into one..... I def think a Rebellion 2 should be made! Anyone else played both games?, anyone else think a merging between the two would make a for a great complete game?
