I'd like to see some simple modding abilities for the simple fact that it will keep EU fans appeased (since they always seem to be crying for a Yuuzhan Vong civ)....  [Read More]

Starmark2k, you're right there is a Republic Landing Ship in there. This leads me to believe, along with the presence of SPHA-Ts on the cover of the PC Zone magazine promotion, that the Empire will have some units that are "left over" from...  [Read More]

Jedi should definitely not be in the game. The Republic was the only faction that employed Jedi on the battle field in significant numbers, and they aren't in this game. Sure Jedi are fun in a game but you have to draw the line between gameplay and r...  [Read More]

Well the inclusion of multiplayer mode is not surprising. But I look forward to finding out all the details of a multiplayer mode. I've said it before but I'll say it again: I believe the most important thing for multiplayer modes in RTS games (apar...  [Read More]

So even to an EUFan, the inclusion of the TIE Crawler makes no sense. It's a silly unit that wasn't even present in the timeline of the setting of the game. I didn't actually see the Interdictor, and indeed I am curious as to how such a unit could w...  [Read More]

Rebel Tanks are probably a necessity but at least in adding them the designers aren't following the bad example of the TIE Crawler and making it an X-Track or Y-Track or something stupid. It's simple and utilitarian as Rebel equipment should be. As...  [Read More]

As Lord of Star Wars Purists, I feel I need to rant here about EU. Jan Gaarni said that without EU the game would be boring. I disagree fundamentally with that, but I understand the point of view, and it is a valid concern. Personally I don't mind a...  [Read More]

I hope there is resource management and base building, and I'll be very interested to see what form it takes. Sure the resource system in DoW was very simple, but it still existed. I'd argue that that style of resource system is much better suited f...  [Read More]

As others have already suggested, I believe if there is an expansion pack it will add the prequel armies. Although so far we have only really seen major ground battles in the prequels, those who have seen the teaser trailer for Revenge Of The Sith wi...  [Read More]

I'm probably going to wait for the price drop, but at the very least I'm going to wait for reviews from the community to come in. I'm a bit pessimistic about how good this game is going to be, so I want to make sure it is good before I buy it. SWGB...  [Read More]

Here's an idea I've been thinking about a little bit. Essentially it's a hybrid of the Generals system and minor civs ideas. What if, in addition to choosing a "pure" force, you could choose to run an allied force. What this would mean is...  [Read More]

Certainly a lot of people look past rip-offs, but others (and especially game reviewers and critics) will fixate on rip-offs to the detriment of the game's success. Such was true with SWGB, for although I think along with many others here that it is...  [Read More]

There's a difference between a subtle rip-off and a blatant rip-off. In the case of this Generals system, it is not only a blatant rip-off, but a fundamental corner-stone of the gameplay, which makes it even worse....  [Read More]

Well Zero Hour probably wasn't out, and it's the one that's got the Generals system. But even if you only bought AoM 2 months ago, it was still out back then and the idea was still well-known. At any rate, even if you did think of it before Ensemble...  [Read More]

Viceroy, it's still EA's idea from Generals. Tweaking it a little doesn't make it your idea. Generals Powers and Generals Points are not necessarily part of that system: for the most part we're just talking about the different Generals from Zero Hour...  [Read More]

Good topic, Viceroy. The carbon issue is one that I remember occurring a lot back when I played Age of Kings (though it was wood rather than carbon obviously). I always thought it was pretty unrealistic that armies would just completely scour the la...  [Read More]
