EaW release day. what will you do?

[El Sitherino]

Binge, all week I shall play to my hearts content and beyond.

[Admiral Sith]

Fortunately, the game will also have both tutorials and a "preamble game" to get new players familiar with strategic decisions, good or bad. From there, with shrewd planning, you may be able to do things like bring the state-of-the-art X-Wing fighter into battle much earlier than it was originally available in the Star Wars universe. You may even decisively crush the Rebellion (or the Empire) before that whole "I am your father" business even happened

 

Tutorial, yes. I will read the manual, then play a skirmish game as the Rebels to see what the I am up against. Later after a few days or playing and getting good at it ill play the Tutorials to see if there is anything i missed.

[Jan Gaarni]

I won't read the manual per say, but I will skim thru it while the game is installing, mostly looking at the units page. I'll look into the manual from time to time the first couple of days of playing, sometimes for no reason, other times when I am wondering about something.

Oh i forgot to add, that i will look for cheats if there are any while it is installing....

For RTS games I never look at cheats because it takes away the expierence for me personally. Im sure there will be cheats, because on the cover of the strategy guide it says cheats on it. Also if there are no cheats you can always program the XML to make things cheaper and that kind of cheating.

The first thing I'm going to do is install it Then play as the Rebels

I think cheats, while a nice novelty, shouldn't be used much if ever. They do take away from the game.

But I know I'm not alone in saying that I absolutely loved using a dodge viper that shot rockets at villagers in Age of Empires, or a robot warrior, etc.

[Jeff]

I concur. When I was younger I would use cheats all the time because I sucked at gaming, but I think now I don't need to use them to win, so I will only use them after I get good at the game, just for fun and not very often. And I definitely won't use them before I beat the game.

[lukeiamyourdad]

I think cheats are fun when they bring in something more to the game. Like fergie's cobra car for example.

If it's simply a god mode or unlimited ammo, it's just boring.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

I, also, would use cheats win I was younger win I wasn't as good as gamer as I am know. But, know I don't use cheats anymore. I probably won't use cheats for EaW.

[Darth Alec]

I'll use cheats as much as possible, after I conquer the galaksy for the fourfed (SP?) time.

[Foshjedi2004]

I will open up the XML files and Add in some of the Legacy of War Units.

[Darth_Extas]

I'm not likely to use cheats, But I would like to get to know how exactly the game works by getting into it immediatly. If I find the cheats, I'll only document them for other use, such as my website(It has a cheats section, Upcomming games ect.) I can just allow a better use of my time. I would only use cheats, if I am SOOO despreat that I would need them(e.g. I'm on my last planet like Infinite:1 posibility of winning) this will only be applied after I have already beaten the game.
