Guest ChrisC3po Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 For all of you who are planning on attending the Battle Ground chat, I would suggest that you start working on your questions now. These chats seem to go by in just a few minutes, so it really helps if you already have two or three well thought out questions ready to go. Also, to keep from bombarding LEC with the same question and to start the rest of the community thinking it would be great if those who are planning on attending post their questions ahead of time on this thread. I’ll start things off with the three following questions. -How long do you believe the single player campaign will take for the typical gamer to complete? -How will the battlefield be affected by air units, what units will balance them out? -What will take the place of Age of Empires’ infantry units? There are obviously a lot of choices for archer units (everyone has at least a laser gun on the Rebel and Imperial sides), but their aren’t many characters who fight with swords besides Jedi of course.

ed_silvergun Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 How about: "Why did you choose the AoE engine rather than the newer AoK engine? What changes (if any) have you made to the engine?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal_jk2 Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 I want to know why they made the graphics look wierd. Age Of Empires bosted to be the first game to feature buildings bigger then units...but in the screenshots of BattleGround it looks like stroomtroopers are the same height of the buildings. Also... those AT-AT, AT-ST, etc are way too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 At TheForce.net's forums, Garry Gaber posts in our BattleGrounds thread. You can see the thread here. I'm Dan, btw. And I'm pretty sure they're using the AoK engine... at least I really really hope it's not AoE. As for questions, I think I'll just sit back and relax.

OnlyOneCanoli Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 It was easily the best LEC chat I've been to. Got in a good group with Zero, ChrisC3PO, and all of my TF.N forum regulars. They actually gave out some info, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 They put up a new site for GBG. Official Site. They have 7 screens, some concept art, and 5 unit pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digl Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Good site I hope something like that will be available for JO in a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man1587246496 Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I just read the transcript and from what I heard I was wrong. I was afraid that because Force Commander didn't turn out so well and because Battlegrounds has the same project leader, it might not be so great. But now, I have a new opinion on Gary Gaber. Battlegrounds sounds very good. Very good indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digl Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Yes it does.The only concern I have is graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man1587246496 Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 The screens Lucasarts had at their little E3 page looked good for Battlegrounds. Then come these new ones on the official site and I began to be a little worried too. Oh well, they're balancing the whole thing out now. I guess we can get the demo first, right?

Guest digl Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I totally agree Is it posibble with the AOK engine to make a high res version? I doubt they will at this time of development tough Sure Its good to have low requirements, and graphics are not the most important aspect in a game, but this shots arent good looking It looks fun, but also ugly Maybe in movement its better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
