Givike Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I really really really dislike the fact that they put: Strong against and Weak against. This is something the player should discover and see how he or she plays best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Good stuff. Shame they are not clearer. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleetAdmiral AK Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 not great quality also I am in the same mood as givike thats not right (maybe it was a training mission or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endurell Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Ok, most people would agree with me that this is a awesome looking game. 99% of the screenies that I've seen have been my desktop at one point or another.... So I apologize for saying this: those are just ugly. lol! Like this guy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 It is too bad that they are not clear. But still, more screenshots is always good. Thanks popcorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something the player should discover and see how he or she plays best. Yeah I agree with you on this. I have fun discovering whats good and bad against what, it is part of the game. Making it already layed out takes away all the fun. Finding out what has a tactical advantage over what is just part of an RTS in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowsfm Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 translation of DonBilbo (21. 12. 2005, 18:58) A Preview brought the game to magazine "PC PowerPlay" to EaW. Beside some new Screenshots in the article it is among other things, mentioned that one can facilitate assistance from smugglers, and smuggle around some Credits from the opponent . The counterpart to the smuggler is the bounty hunter, evenly seeks out those smugglers, and keeps them from stealing Credits. In addition it was mentioned that R2D2 will be able to hack opposing defese towers, so that they take the opponent bace. Also quite interesting, but rather fun: By means of space bar one can change into the so-called "cinema perspective" and is then in the middle in the action, but isnt good to give anyone orders. translation In the today's issue of PC PowerPlay, a small Preview is and a few screens over Empire at war was to be found. The screens showed a view of the first Missions. In the Preview you can read that you can steal money of the opponent with smugglers in addition, that you can recrute bounty hunters, that hunt evenly these hostile smugglers to find and extinguish. With R2-D2 you (as you can also see on one of the screens) can hack and program the hostile turrets in such a way that they fire on the units of the Imperiums instead of on your own. The opinion of Martin Deppe: Quote: Although I was on Empire at war over two hours on rebel and Imp, in the orbit and on planets, I want to give still no opinion. Why? Because it was a free campaign, it depends a lot on the balance - and on the conection with the given missions. If its a hit, it will be a very good game. oops, that was an opinion nevertheless!

popcorn2008 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Okay shadowsfm he was only voluntering, do not take it personal. the last two posts have been deleted and we need to all go back on topic. I also noticed the grid like planets must be un-explored planets because in the lower left map you can notice they are greyed but the colored planets look regular in the display while the grey ones are grids.

DonBilbo Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 @shadowsfm: let's leave it at that...everything's cool now. @topic: I think the fact that R2D2 is abel to hack buildings is nothing new...that was predictible...but nevertheless it could be quite useful although i'm going to play the imperials....

popcorn2008 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Yes I did delete two of your posts, but the reason your post was deleted is it is off-topic.

popcorn2008 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 i guess the planet korriban is explored but unpopulated I was thinking the same thing. I bet the color codes are: Red - Hostile Green - Allied Yellow - Uninhabbited This is one of the best galatic map pics we have ever had, it just makes me more geeked out over this haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsfm Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Red - Hostile Green - Allied Yellow - Nutral Grey - Unexplored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 If yellow did mean neautral it would possibly suggest some sort of diplomacy in the game. Which would be awesome if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
