Guest Stormtrooper Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 On regarding the game speed, I here it will be faster, but will there be something to adjust the speed to slow it down if its to fast???....I'm alittle slow(hehe) and need time to think(LOL)...but i'm sure once i figure out what to build it might not be that bad.

Guest Gamma732 Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Every RTS game I've played has had a speed control thing in the options menu of the game. I don't doubt that it will be the same with GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 besides if they lock gamespeed then faster computers will run it faster and slower ect. (if you get a fast enough comp you won't be able to play) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 well, if you ever tried to play DOS-Pong on a Pentium III, you'll know what he meant.. :D The gamespeed is just a tad faster than AOK, but what they mean with 'greater' gamespeed, is that the game is designed to advance faster. So you'll be doing battle faster instead of building your base the first 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Originally posted by Gamma732 What do you mean about the fast enough comp part? I'll try to clarify. when a game speed cannot be changed, then a computer that is faster then originally tended to run the game will run it at a faster rate. For an example. a person made a game for an old 286, they lock gamespeed. and a unit will walk at regular rate. Now you install that game on the newest comp out there. the unit will speed across the map extremly fast. and you might find that you will not be able to play the game. That is what I meant, you have a powerful enough processor then the game is just a blur of animation, unless you can slow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the actual speed of units and the speed of battle is a good bit faster. Of course, i hope you can build and train units faster too, that helps alot as well. I hate really slow games most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stormtrooper Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 So, if SWGB is set on the slowest speed setting it will still be faster than AoK? or will there be a slider bar to adjust it?? I just hope its not too fast or it will be a clickfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Yeah, clickfests are really dumb. I think that the speed should be like in SC or RA2. They both have settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gamma732 Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I get it now. Thanks for clarifying the faster pc thing, admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 yes leon is rite. supposedly this game is going to be faster than AoK on your typical computer, one that can run both AoK and swgb. another thing too is that scouting will be faster according to gaber so you can pretty much have a better idea of resource location and enemy planning faster than scouts in AoK....

Guest Gamma732 Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Thats good to hear. At times in AOK scouting was painfully slow. I hope its not so fast that everyone can get their scout through the enemy base with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 your welcome gamma I'm pretty sure that scouting will be a little faster but not so much you can zip across the entire map in a matter of a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gamma732 Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Yeah, that'd pretty much eliminate the purpose of the fog of war and a blank map. They should speed up unit production/tech research , not just the game speed if they want to promote faster games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
