Battlestar Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I'm fairly new to the game (i've only played the game a few times at a friend's house) and since the Saga Collection is out, I was wondering if it was still worth getting it this late in the game or should I just wait until hopefully SWGB 2 comes out. Thanks. BTW, Of what I played (only skirmishes) it seems like a real addictive game.
pbguy1211 Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Well, if you liked it, and you can afford it... why wait? I wouldnt expect a SWGB2 any time soon.
clonedjedi Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 i say get it while u can yeah the swgb project is probably another expansion coming out this year. so get both games to get a feel for the game then u will be pretty good at swgb 2 unless they change the entire gameplay system
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 There won't be anothe x-pac(at 99.9% sure). It's useless to waste your time making another x-pac rather then making swgb2.
clonedjedi Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 y is it a waste of time they could just want to add more heroes,civs or units they might want to wait till ep 3 comes out before releasing swgb 2
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 We don't need more heroes... We have enough civs for now... We have enough units and more might unbalance the game... Another x-pac would be crazy in terms of marketing. Clone Campaigns took advantage of ep2 but releasing another x-pac now would be a waste. And be patient...
clonedjedi Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 so wat your saying is we need no new heroes no new untis we have enough civs so then y get swgb 2 if there is nothing these to add????????
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I said that there was enough civs FOR NOW. And nothing more should be added to SWGB1. SWGB2 will have changes and new features. Some stuff will be removed and some stuff will be added. SWGB1 is almost over now. All we can do is wait for SWGB2.
clonedjedi Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 i am just having ideas and u come along a criticise them when u have none of your own?????
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Check other threads to see some off my ideas. It's nothing personnal. That's what this forum was made for. So ideas can be made and see what people think about it. You shouldn't take criticism a bad way. We all have diffrent ways and different tastes. We argue in the hope to make the ideas that we put, better. It's what always happens on a forum. Don't take it the wrong way. Sorry if I have been a little rough...
Kryllith Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 SWGB II (should it ever come out) won't simply be an addon for SWGB one. It will (hopefully) run on a more advanced engine allowing for greater diversity between the civilations while preserving balance. Hopefully it include a number of the things discussing in the various other threads (limiting Line of Sight based on the terrain, for example). Personally, I think LucasArts is more inclined to produce a new RTS a couple years down the road than spend tim making another expansion for GB. Besides, they're focusing on other projects right now and there's no word of anything being made for GB. If they did decide to make something for GB, it probably wouldn't be released for a year or 3 (at which point they'd be better off creating a whole new product than rehashing something that will be several years old at the time...)

Battlestar Posted January 3, 2003 Author Posted January 3, 2003 Thanks for all your opinions. I think the consenus (correct if i'm wrong here) is that ...Yes the Saga Set is worth it. Looks like i'll be getting it next week.
pbguy1211 Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 it's definately worth it. i never played RTS's before but i thought this looked cool. not only does it look cool, it's very fun as well! lots of cool crap you can do!
Sithmaster_821 Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Yeah, it doesn't matter when you get it, it's still a fun game, especially if you are only playing single player. This is one of the most fun RTS's out there
Battlestar Posted January 4, 2003 Author Posted January 4, 2003 I was thinking when I pick up Saga I was wondering if I should get the Prima Guide as well (its only cheap and it might have some good tips). Worth it or waste of money?
pbguy1211 Posted January 4, 2003 Posted January 4, 2003 i have the prima guide, it's pretty useless. besides, there's a walkthrough up on gamefaqs.com now i think. and the rest you can get off the net on galacticbattles.com or swgb.heavengames.com
Sithmaster_821 Posted January 4, 2003 Posted January 4, 2003 The guide is 50% wrong, and 50% common sense. Don't buy it (i have it too, and it convinced me not to buy guides for anymore games)
Parrakarry Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 A good engine to use for Battlegrounds 2 would be a variation of the engine used in Total Annihilation. Varying it enough to allow some of the special features in Battlegrounds that we all know and love, but keeping it enough the same to allow several good features in Annihilation, such as creating new units instead of adapting old ones, and terrain-affected LOS, would create the perfect engine for a game like Battlegrounds.
Sithmaster_821 Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 I hope LA uses their own engine. Oh, yeah, welcome to GB.com (both Battlestar and Parrakarry)
Parrakarry Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 ^Thanks... hopefully this forum isn't as full of crazy morons as the last forum I regulared...
pbguy1211 Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 it cant be as bad as swgb.heavengames.com board... bunch of psycho's over there.
Admiral Vostok Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Well chances are that a bunch of people who care enough to post stuff on a Galactic Battlegrounds forum would talk you into buying the game It is worth it, especially if you're alternative is waiting for SWGB2. Oh and don't buy the Prima guide. For any tips and tricks just ask us!
Smellincoffee Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 I'll probally be joining the ranks of GB/CC players by the end of this month, hopefully....
Sithmaster_821 Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 hopefully this forum isn't as full of crazy morons Uh oh. This could be bad news. I'm only kidding (but stay away from the alien jedi thread. Oh, and dont read my sig) it cant be as bad as swgb.heavengames.com board... bunch of psycho's over there. When I left that place was like a sopa opera. I go and browse it occasionaly, and have discovered that the sane ones have moved operations to the strategy forum
