Lord JayVizIon Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 hey ten, welcome...... Â AoK players may be used to the interface somewhat, but these are diff civs compared to those in AoK, so everyone is at an equal advantage..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 welcome, Ten.. Â my guess is we're looking at a late november release date; Lucasarts are no fools. they'll want the game to sell before christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Yes, but the day after thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year, they'd surely want to capitolize on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 From what i've heard so far, it doesn't look like the release-date will slip. so we're set to go... Â go Lucasarts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten-Forward Posted August 2, 2001 Author Share Posted August 2, 2001 Is there a price of the game out yet??..betcha its 49.99 US.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 i don't know how expensive games are in Holland compared to the US, but we retail games at about $55 your currency.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hmm, that seems likely, because AOK was 50 bucks as well, US currency that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Extremly likely (actually where I live AoK still cost 'bout $60 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Telephius Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 You developers are cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â a month after Empire Earth is set to release even if it ships later it still is a short period for an RTS lifespan I must Choose a SWGB vs EE aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Telephius, Â welcome.. Â i don't see your dilemma, but i take it you simply want an RTS; not specifically EE or GB. Â GB will have an edge I'm sure. Watch these forums explode and you'll understand what i'm talking about. So if you need any advice on this: wait. Even after EE comes out. Just wait until GB is there and then find out you made the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Telephius Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 hmmm your right actually I wasmplanning on getting EE when it was released but then about sometie ago I heard about SWGB and just recently I read more info on it. EE has the 3d factor, plus the unit customization and some other nice features SWGB is SW and a apology for Force Commander(the only game that I bought I have ever given away) and it uses the tried and true AOE2 engine. Â I am leaning towards SWGB now since I like the concept and no matter which one I choose it appears that one of them may rival TA for the RTS that has kept me interest for the longest period, even Westwoods Emperor:battle for dune is growing boring with its multplayer problems, no editor and the limited land space to build on.

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Well, GB is said to have a very robust MP, that i don't think will let any of us down. It also has 6 campaigns to play. Add that to the terrain and scenario editor, and this game should last you a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten-Forward Posted August 3, 2001 Author Share Posted August 3, 2001 Its pretty much not an issue...ya know why...were gonna buy both games anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 That'll cost you, literally. Plus, how are you going to decide which one to play at any given time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Worf Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Luckily for me, im boycotting all Sierra games so I dont have to worry about making that choice. Â Besides, I prefer starwars to the real life setting of ee. Â Worf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Do they take orders from Europe and ship fast ? And does anyone know if there is a worldwide simultaneous release ? I'd go mad if we'd get it weeks later here and everyone here would be playing it already.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
