Darth Windu Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hi people. Just wondering what you all think should be the Republic homeworld for SWGB2. Just remember though that if it's Alderaan, the Empire may get Coruscant, or Coruscant would be an independant system. Also remember that if the Republic gets Coruscant, the Empire can't have it.

Unless you do it like Battlefront, where you can only have Reps vs Confeds or Rebs vs Empire. Then both could have Coruscant, which would make more sense.

swphreak Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The Republic would have Coruscant, and so would the Empire. Or if you really don't want them to share a planet, the Empire can have the Death Star or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I voted for coruscant... Alderaan doesn't sound republic-ish at all and well, Kamino is where the clones come from, not the republic. Coruscant makes more sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yeah, Windu, you aren't going to be having the Emps fight the Reps? Their the same thing! Oh, well, just another reason why Windu's current "brilliant" idea won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Windu Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 Would i have the Republic fight the Empire? Absolutely. You have to remember that the whole point of this game is fun, and if players want to have the Rep and Imps fight, well then they should be able to. There are also going to be quite a few CtG options. For example, there would be senario's for the Republic in which the Empire would not exist, and the same for the Empire. These senario's would take place 'realistically' in the Star Wars universe. However, there would also be a gameplay choice to have all civs in the CtG, with the winner being the player who conquers the other civs. Hence, it must be determined what the Republic and Imperial homeworlds would be in this game style. PS: no-one complained about the Republic fighting the Imperials in SWGB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 No indeed no one did. But Windu, I mean I hadn't commented on your ideas, but I think you're trying to plan everything for something that won't turn out the way you plan it, you're adding tons of gameplay factors that make the game more difficult, you're making people vote between 3 or 4 choices you decide, 5 votes are casted, and you decide that's the voice of the people. I don't think anything works that way. Maybe you should stop planning so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 PS: no-one complained about the Republic fighting the Imperials in SWGB... Thats cause they never do in the campaign, which is what you are planning... I'd like to see a "disagree with idea" option in any future polls.

Darth Windu Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Compa - thats quite possible, we'll just have to wait and see Sith - why do i have to explain these things over, and over, and over again? In the Empier's campaign, the Republic wont exist. In the Republic's campaign, the Empire wont exist. However, there will be a game mode in which all civs are present, and so it must be decided which homeworld the Republic and Empire would have, because they cant both have Coruscant.

Admiral Vostok Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I voted for Kamino, because while it isn't entirely realistic you have said yourself Windu that the emphasis is on fun, not realism. This way no one starts with Coruscant, so capturing it would give a few benefits. Besides, we are talking about the Grand Army of the Republic, not just the Republic itself, and it is true that the Grand Army originated at Kamino.

Sithmaster_821 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 However, there will be a game mode in which all civs are present Any specifc reason why? Other than "cause I want to"? PS: if you dont like it, dont vote I didnt vote in your Imperial one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Vostok - the problem with Kamino is that it isnt (or at least wasnt during Ep2) a member of the Republic, and a capital is a political center, not military. Sith - because i beleive that players should have as many choices available to them as possible. Why deny them the opportunity to have the Empire and Republic fight each other? The more flexability built into the game, the more fun it will be. After all, the whole point of playing games is to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Windu, its called the single player random map (which is played a lot more and a lot longer than the campaigns) or multiplayer (ditto to the first comment). Campaigns atleast have to have the semblance of corretness. Unless you don't what either of those in your game, denying the player a lot more freedom than not having your cheap ripoff on top of the other campaigns.

Darth Windu Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Sith - 1. In the Republic campaign, the Empire doesnt exist 2. In the Imperial campaign, the Republic doesnt exist 3. In the open-ended 'Civil War', the Republic doesnt exist, the Empire does 4. In the open-ended 'Clone War', the Empire doesnt exist, the Republic does 5. In a free-for-all, both exist How is it that you fail to understand this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZticles Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Now that I've read most of the topics on this game the more I think we are getting the next sim city not the next rts like we want. Who really cares bout the Campaigns what people mostly play online is the random map or rm. The campaigns last 3 days max once complete thats it they move on.

pbguy1211 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ah, mr FroZ... that's the LOGICAL answer. You may need to read more of Windu's posts to realize there's not a lot of logic to anything he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Courscant is technically the political capital of the republic. Military speaking it would be Kamino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 Froz - because not everyone plays multi-player! Some people choose to simply play single-player, and one of the biggest flaws on RoN is that there are no campaigns, although this will be changed in the x-pac. Also with your 'sim city' statement, i suggest you re-read what i've posted. When you do, you will see that this game would be nothing like sim city.

Sithmaster_821 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Again, Windu, why the free-for-all? Its just causing more problems. I know you are going to say that more options is better, but thats only for options that make sense. Your idea is like allowing the player to do the Imp campaign as the Rebs. Thats more options, but is it necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 Sith - if we only did what was necessary, it would be a very boring world to live in. Why do i want campaigns and a free-for-all? Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Windu, if you're going to have the Empire fighting the Republic, I hardly think the fact that Kamino is the Military centre and not the Political centre is going to upset anyone. I would have thought the main purpose of this mode of play is fun. Kamino makes sense because it was a major part of the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 and Coruscant was a much bigger part, and was seen to be the planet where the rulers of the Republic (ie the Senate) and the Jedi were based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Fine, do whatever you want. I'm bored of this conversation anyway. I look forward to the next poll you post where you have already decided the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Windu, I really can't see how copying something from BHG makes the game more interesting. I'm always skeptical of superfluous baggage, but something like this, which doesn't add much and only will bring the game down in the eyes of reviewers, and, thus, gamers, is totally unnecessary.
