boranchistanger Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Why are they using the Galactic Civil War? Why aren't they using the Clone Wars? In the Clone Wars you had actual battles between the massive armies of the Republic and the Seperatists. In the Galactic Civil War you had a bunch of Guerrilla cowards (Rebellion) and the big, mighty Empire. I can tell you that I'd rather be commanding Republic forces at Geonosis than a couple bums fireing hopelessly at AT-AT's at Hoth. Give me a break. Does this disturb anyone else, or is it just me? -Boran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Guerrilla warfare requires much more tactics then taking two big armies, making them bigger and bigger, then trying to make them clash in the middle. Also, if done right, a guerrilla war can set up the two sides to be in dynamic equilibrium, and add more variety to the game. The Republic and Seperatists are pretty much the same except one uses clones and the other used droids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZticles Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 No a lot of people share this view but I put it down to the fact you are drawn in by the better visuals. There will be a Clone Wars RTS somewhere in the future but right now they are focusing on OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverlordAngelus Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I agree, having the Rebels vs the Empire will give the game a lot more depth. Personally, I think that a clone wars rts would be the kind of game where the person with the biggest army wins. The other thing is, the huge amount of EU material that has been created around the OT that can be drawn upon. Look at the screenshots and you see ships like the Interdictor Cruiser and I really hope they read the Thrawn Trilogy while creating this game.

PR-0927 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm sorry if you don't like EU, but they had larger battles. And...Hoth...and the Battle of Endor (in space)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I can hardly see the rebels being called cowards, the people stood up to the massive empire. That takes a lot of guts. Anyway, this takes place during the OT because they ( Lucasarts ) want it to. Besides as said earlier, guerrilla fighting takes more strategy than those whoever has the biggest military and better weapons wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerhs Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 i think having the civil war adds a lot to the strategy of the gameplay. it makes it so that whenever you play one side or the other, you have to come up with different tactics to achieve victory. kind of reminds me of c&c: generals, except you had three sides to choose from (that required different tactics for each side) rather than two.

starmark2k Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I think because of the space battles there is more that can be done with OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 More strategy as a few stated already in this topic, but also because OT is one big war, for the 3 episodes. In clone wars the clones only come in the end of EP II, and then again it's more like one massive army vs another on a big plain. Can't do much there rather than swarm the enemy.

swphreak Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Because OT has more starships. LucasArts will probbaly release an xpac for the PT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boranchistanger Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Because OT has more starships. There were epic space battles during the Clone Wars. For goodness sakes, Episode 3 opens with the greatest space battle in the entire Star Wars saga for goodness sakes. i think having the civil war adds a lot to the strategy of the gameplay. it makes it so that whenever you play one side or the other, you have to come up with different tactics to achieve victory. Same with the Clone Wars. The Battles of the Clone Wars were very diverse and massive. Kamino, Geonosis, Rhen Var, Kashyyyk. All kinds of terrains, all kinds of strategy involved. Those battles were a heck of alot better than Hoth or Endor or Yavin 4. Those were all pathetic. -Boran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I am an OT fan. Always have been. I saw Star Wars for the first time when I was 5 and it has hooked me up ever since. Endor will always be the greatest space battle ever for its epic scope and the way it touched you straight to your heart. IMO, Hoth and Endor were more fun to watch. When both armies are nothing more then just mindless beings wacking each other, it's kinda boring. Besides, the average gamer is 29, the average Star Wars fan is a bit older, guess what war they usually like more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Very simple: they needed something to save for the (inevitable) x-pack. Come on, you think they'd try and add Clone Wars now when they can shamelessly cash in on the post-RotS wave with a timely expansion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare Clone Wars EU and movies to Galactic Civil War movies only. If you include EU material then there is much, much more EU to be taken from the GCW era, and massive amounts of variety. And regardless of the amount of strategy involved in CW battles, the point remains that the two sides are very similar. I also prefer GCW due to the fact that I know it better, and I've known it longer, so I prefer to play games during that time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird_Al Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Because if it's the OT they have to do far less of incorporating the Jedi and Sith into the game. And a melee unit that can block ranged attacks would be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boranchistanger Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Someone had to control those mindless droids and midless clones. The Jedi commanded the Clone forces while the greatest military genius of all time General Grevious led the Seperatist forces. They were some of the best commanders in the history of the Star Wars universe. Also keep in mind that these mindless clones were Stormtroopers! -Boran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
