is EAW Galaxy map turn based?


Recommended Posts

hi, i am mallen02 from the lucas arts forums. A question came up earlier today about if the Galaxy map on EAW is turn based, i came here to ask this because it appears alot of you went to E3.

 

So i was wondering...is it turn based or real time?

 

here is the discussion link: http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?messageID=990579?

 

 

thanks,

i hope it will be turn based like Repellion, with some Turnspeeds.

i will not build and send fleets on 40 planets in realtime

Why is English one of the most speaken languages? German is more better, it sounds better and i did unterstandt it ^^ but for you i will spoke english too, not good but you should unterstand me ^^

you mean a turn might be 5 minutes, Every 5 minutes you get you credits.

But fleed managing (Sending fleet to other planets) should be in realtime?

mhh what happens when i have 1 corvete and the enemy 1 indertikter cruiser, my corvet cant destroy the indertikter and cant escape in the hyperspace. How long will it take, to leave the range of the inderticter cruiser with the normal speed?

i think i would liek it if it was like Rebellion, where you could adjust the time so it doesn't go by really fast or really slow. but the battles be real time. doesn't matter really, i just dont want to sit there and click end turn and stuff -.-

Well i doubt that you'll click to change the time, it'll probably be like you can move a certain number of units per turn, mind you thats just one of my hypothesis'.

From what I seen in E3 demo everything was real time and it was perfectly done.

 

You just tell your ships were to go and they go there. then I think you click on the planet you want to take over and you see your ship(s) end their hyperspace jump at the planet. Then you battle in space then when you win that you go to ground and battle on 2 maps and its taken over. If oyu lose it goes back to space then battle/planetery map. You can see what ships went were and its like a pause menu from my guess. After each battle you get credits like 400 from Bespin and 200 from Tatooine or whatever.

 

well maybe there should be a option for Real time and turn-based since both side of the spectrum of gamers would be happy :P

 

Note: This is what I saw and its what I think its going to work out.

Yup, what do you like better ?

 

my opinion

Turn based like Rome Total War and Civilization 3 ? Its slow and annoying since your turns get wasted. Real Time you can do whatever you want and dont have to wait for other people if its a multi game. Having the freedom to do whatever you want at anytime is better and dont have to wait 4 turns which could have been done 3 minutes before.

i liek the fact you get to hyperspace in between planets and actually see this, w/o having to end turn ;)

 

btw, how long would they stay in hyper space until they arrived at a planet, is it like in rebellion where the farther the destination the longer they remain in hyperspace?

Deleted it as you said, well I donno lol, nice question to ask, would be nice seeing your ships begin then stay and end their hyper jump. Lol this might sound nuts but I wonder if the devs if they can make a small game mode were you go against star trek ships lool. Star Wars vs Star Trek lol. an unlockable mode. Would be to much for a first game but would crush the RTS and raise it ? Dont really need it tho but would add to the fun in a way.

Good idea lol. Then post what you got answered and what not. Well it would loosen up the question being released to the devs but the devs ignore the question anyways so might as well find out what they got to show :) Cant wait for this game now.
