Jabba The Hunt Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 At last there is a computer game that unites AOE and C&C, I've only played the demo but im getting it tommorrow, you start off in cavemen times when everyone fights and gathers, then you start to specialise and develop villagers and soldiers, eventually you get to Industrial stage and this is when it gets interesting, you start producing guns that can fire fairly short distances, then WWI comes in and you develop basic tanks then WWII and then today, but thats not it, there are still two more stages that go into the future where you start using lasers and mechs. There is a senario editor like AOE (so we can create C&C style battles aswell)(westwood havnt realised yet that anyone playing a RTS and using a senario editor to cheat doesnt matter, Its the true RTS gamers that want senario editors to recreate battles etc) but this game has it all, it also works off the rock paper sisors theory that each unit has a unit that is good against it and one that is poor, meaning you need a variaty of troops to win in battle. Ok ive been going on for too long ill finnish now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba The Hunt Posted December 29, 2001 Author Share Posted December 29, 2001 yeah very funny, no AOE has a very different style of game play to C&C, AOE games tend to last a little longer and they have more than one resource to collect, and its a lot more tacticle instead of building up loads of tanks and just moving them in like C&C.

Zargon Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 so then its not much like C&C at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Empire Eath is just like another little known game called Civilization:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taarkin Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I suck at Civ 3. I always have tons of happy citizens and Culture/technology coming out the wazoo but only a handfull of cities/millitary units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 That's the idea. The more you have in culture, you can push your way into enemy empires and take them over without firing a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierce Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 but its so much fun taking that shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taarkin Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 I can't push my way into their empires when they own the entire map. On one game I was into the industrial age just a few turn after they entered the middle, but I didn't have a single strategic resource. Just to be different today I tried expanding often and early and built a ton of war chariots. I found the Russians about 4,000 miles away and wiped them out by 570 AD. I expanded across the Atlantic and founded two cities in the eastern US, denying America it's only scource of iron. I'd say it went a lot better than my wussy pacifist games. I got to play Empire Earth today. It's exactly like AoE except you can zoom in on units. Whoopie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 AOE is superior to C&C because C&C was the least interesting game I ever touched. I have yet to play Empire Earth. I got it for my brother for christmas. I got CFS2 for christmas and for some reason it keeps freezing on my and it's spread to FS2k2 too for some reason. I'm going to buy more rams.

Rogue15 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 I started out strategy gaming with command & conquer and red alert, those were too hard to beat, stupid commando missions... then I got Force Commander, that game was fun, but the strategies kinda repetative, the ai never rushed me in skirmish, just built up a huge airforce and tankforce and wiped me out. I remember the first time being rushed in that game on multiplay, i was like DAAANG!!! i adapted those rush techniques and the poor computer ai showed. Now I have Galactic Battlegrounds, and have been playing it since Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierce Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Shogun: Total War, had to be the most tactical strategy game i have ever played...too bad alot of it will bore the hell out of any one who played starcraft or Age of Empires.....even though i had a blast playing it.

Rogue15 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Rebellion and Deadlock demo were the other strategy games, altho Deadlock is more turn-based, that game was awesome, and when i first played an rts, i was overwhelmed. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
