Not to mention that it's a lot like C&C3, because there are little units shooting at other little units. They should have just stopped making RTS games after Dune 2. *Sarcasm meter explodes*

Yeah, me too. There's been conspicuous silence on the topic. Even in the Petroglyph forums there hasn't been a dev posting in the EaW/FoC forum since Christmas.

Over at the Petroglyph forums there's a guy (Commander Loony) who has made it so you can download a .zip file and install all the original GC maps and play them in FoC, plus two new GC maps he made himself. I'm using them and they're working fine. Highly recommended for those who want to play the old maps as well.

Does anyone think there will even be a new patch? I'm just asking since I haven't seen any of the PG people in the EaW/FoC forums since before Christmas, despite the heavy activity. Have they perhaps moved on to other things?

So what if it isn't canon? It's a computer game; it's supposed to be entertaining.

But then again, can't the Empire just build another Death Star? And IG-88 is gone forever after he blows up the first one, correct?

The sort of things you'd get in the original. "The Empire has left a planet undefended"... "Take this planet and be rewarded with X units"... that sort of thing.

Are you sure you have checked the "allow random events" box in the Advanced Options?

I don't have FoC yet, so I don't know. But weren't there GC maps in the original game where you didn't have all heroes available to you? Maybe it's just that Luke isn't available in that particular GC scenario.

Personally, I can't see how having a GC game against two opponents is less enjoyable than a GC game vs. a single opponent. How could a 1/3 increase in game content be a bad thing?

Obi-Wan is available in Galactic Conquest games because they're not strictly canon but more of a "make your own Star Wars history"-type of thing. You can, "historically" speaking, start a GC game that begins before the Battle of Yavin and stretches into the post-RotJ era, and in this reality Obi-Wan was not killed aboard the first Death Star.

That's a little vague. Do you have the latest version of DirectX 9c installed?

Uh-oh. Please tell me there isn't some bug that prevents you from reaching Tech 5.

I don't have the expansion yet, so I don't know how Vader plays in it, but I will at least agree with you that Vader should not "be" the Executor. That should be reserved for a non-ground hero like Piett.
