Horrible space auto-resolve

Sun, 19 Mar 2006 19:39:56 +0000

I have had EaW for about 3 weeks now, and I have come to realize that the auto-resolve engine is the worst I have ever used. I will go into a battle with: the Death Star, 5 ISDs, 5 Victory Star Destroyers, 8 Tartan Patrol Cruisers, 6 Acclamators, 2 Interdictors, 3 Broadside Cruisers, and the pop cap edited from 20 to 100. The enemy (rebels) will only have 3 Nebulon-B Frigates, a squad of Y-Wings, a squad of X-Wings, and a level 2 Space Station. When I do the auto-resolve I will loose 2 ISDs, 1 VSD, 2 Tartan Patrol Cruisers,and an Acclamator. The enemy will make it away with 2 Nebulon-B Frigates left. WHAT KIND OF AUTO-RESOLVE IS THAT!!?? I have 20 times the amount of firepower and I loose 3 times the amount of units they have. When I do the battle myself the enemy is completely wiped out and my units Shields haven't even been 15% damaged. To me, that is a major bug that needs to be fixed.

Re: PFF Imperium (Faction) Mod

Thu, 12 Oct 2006 04:09:39 +0000

Well Mikans mod got cancelled since it didn't go the way he wanted. For those who don't know it was about PFF regulars but certain people caused it to steer away from its "cause"

Well I had an interesting idea that at least 5 people who are interested in making a PFF Faction for EAW/FoC could come up with custom units that would be used against the Empire, Rebels and "The Corrupt Faction". Create the grunt troopers, tanks, vehicles, capital ships, space station and such. For those who want to think more deeply like what planet we own or whatever can do so also. And no I will not put my Gundams here and it should be completely original (or 99%). Maybe use up stuff from Fan Fiction?

You can post countertactics for Rebels and Imps if you want to.

Re: Towel Day- May 25

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:17:30 +0000

On May 25, people will bring their towels with them. Why? It is the day we honor the life of Douglas Adams, one of the greatest writers ever. If you live under a bug under a rock, Douglas Adams wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Read the Books, wear a towel!

As you can see, I can't write advertisements. Ignoring the top, just sum it up with this. May 25= Towel Day. Bring a frikkin towel everywhere with you. Douglas Adams deserves it.

Why do you reply to cheese?

Sun, 23 Oct 2005 11:38:00 +0000

He is just a troll, and most the time replying to him just feeds him. Thats what he wants. I have a strong feeling also that if they aren't him himself, inflatokitty and the jedi chef are his real life friends.

I reply to them, but they never seem to reply to my posts, maybe I shut um up but I don't know

but if you are ghostly, I would leave them alone, they are just waiting for you to reply and will rip you apart.

Movies are getting lame

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 01:59:34 +0000

What is happening to the quality of movies that are coming out? They just keep getting lamer and lamer. Anything popular is getting turned into a movie. Harry potter was, eragon was, lord of the rings, the simpsons, comic book super heros.... what's next? the Ebay movie? The Oprah movie? The american Idol movie? They've even resorted to making movies based on video games, doom, tombradier, halo (rumor), and Ive even heard they're making a gears of war movie.

people are just running out of ideas now

thoughts?

Every inch you gain costs you a gallon of blood! (Long grueling ground battles)

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 22:42:49 +0000

This thread is for stories about grueling ground battles that took a long time. I'll start with mine:

I was playing as the rebels on yavin or something like that. The battles was 3 hours long and I lost. At first we were evenly matched. One failed skirmish at resource stations and another and another. Both sides had everything upgraded after a while and neither side was giving ground. Countless Imperials fell to my artillery, several snowspeeders shot down in a fiery blaze of glory. Hundreds upon hundreds of troops fell to turrets and other things. I had killed Darth Vader so many times I lost count, as well as how many times my heroes had fallen. Bombing runs were so regular that you could know exactly when they were going to be used. Eventually the Imperials smartend up and got more ATATs so they could get extra troopers that could be deployed where ever and often. I was losing ground. Slowly My outnumbered troops were slaughtered and my artillery falling to bombing runs. The rain poured for a long time and I'm sure the entire map would be saturated with blood and vehicle fluids if the game had that sort of realistic feature. Eventually I was down to my central landing zone and they kept coming and coming. Han Solo and Kyle katarn killed hundreds of troopers while chewbacca stole several ATATs. One by one the turrets were destroyed and my resource stations had been taken. My buildings fell one by one. Then Obi-Wan engaged Darth Vader in duel. Everyone else was dead. There was just Vader and obi wan dueling in the center of the last landing zone. All the Imperial units just stood there and watched as they dueled. I kept using force heal and force protect so that kenobi would prevail. He killed Darth Vader.... and instantly died as 3 ATATs, the Emperor, Several tanks and storm troopers, and even imp artillery all shot him at once. Then they blew up my command center and I lost........................... I looked at the battles stats and they were staggering. Every unit for both sides was at least in the double digits for losses.......

The Art of War and Empire at War?

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:02:27 +0000

As many of you know, there is a book called Sun Tzu's Art of War. This book tells you everything you would ever need to know about war strategy, and while it is written in old times when chariots were high-tech, Just a small mental upgrading of the context could give you everything you want to know. Of course, it's only really good against human players =P

"All warfare is based on deception. When able to attack, seem unable, when using our forces, we must seem inactive, when we are near the enemy, we must seem far off, when far away, we must seem that we are near. Hold out baits to deceive the enemy, feign disorder, and crush him. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him, if he is of superior strength, evade him. If he gets angry easily, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, so he can grow arrogant. If he is taking his taking his time, give him no rest. Attack where he is not prepared, appear where you are not expected." -Sun Tzu

Aren't those great tips? And that's only half of chapter one =P. I highly suggest you check it out, it's good for any RTS game.

Stuid things drunks do.

ok well since this was missing i thought i'd add it.

what this is for is if you hear of anything a drunken friend or person you know does we want to hear about it, so the community can laugh.

Please don't put Anything that can be used by others to find out locations and please KEEP IT CLEAN!

here's my story.

I was at a friend's 18th on Saturady the 23nd Sept. it started fine until he had a few drinks at which time he was completly paraletic. the first stupid thing he did was fall over and collapse onto a table, the 2nd was when we got him on to a bench he sorta slipped off and hit the floor lightening fast. 3rd he had an 18th Balloon attached to his arm and my friend told him it was trying to eat him so he squashed it against his face and the bit it. 4th we told him that the chairs wanted to kill him he then slid off the bench and started to wrestle the Chairs. 5th we got him into his bath and then i got a Permanent Marker from his mum and DREW all over his face and arm. while he was unconcious.
