Demo Tactics...

[Vader89]

For those who played the Demo of EaW (Little.B and Junker, and any others) Wat types of tactics did you use?

[Little.B]

Tactics? Mh, hard to tell. Your tactics depend on the way you wont to play (which units you use). Missile Crusers like the broadside or Gunship are very, very powerfull but the Interdictor for example can jam rockets so there is always a counter to your tactic. The special thing is that you can react very fast on enemy tactics (if you have the money to build the units). Its hard to tell on tactics from the alpha build because many things were not in it or simply did not work (boarding fighters in capital ships for example)

[Vader89]

Oh ok, did you personally use any special tactic or did you just duke it out with your opponent?

[Little.B]

Mh. I just build some units and send them over to the enemy. Just a bit testing, no real serious playing I would say.

Mh. I just build some units and send them over to the enemy. Just a bit testing, no real serious playing I would say.

 

interesting. are there different formations? if so do the formations give any bonuses?

[Little.B]

No. Only when you select units in the same group they move at the same speed and stay in the fomration they were selected.

[Garbageben]

Were you able to have smaller ships, say gunships, escort larger capital vessels or like protect them from bomber attacks?

[Little.B]

Mh. I dont tested that but there was a "Defend" moving option perhaps it also works on units but I dont know.

[Foshjedi2004]

Wouldn't defend be more likely retreat or kamikaze assault???

[Little.B]

I think the defend option will work like in other games that you assign one unit to defend another and it will fight against any opponent which attacks the unit it is ordered to defend.

sounds like what the Alderaanian War Cruiser Valient was ordered to do with the Another Chance it'd be good if we could build the Alderaanian Fleet elements and its just the sort of time that they werent disarmed if you were the rebellion you could maybe counter that change that would b cool!

[Foshjedi2004]

awww. I would love to see the Clone Wars Alderaanian fleets and ghost fleets like the Dark Force. Free units for the people who manage to get to the planet at a certain time.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

lol fosh they could set the fleets up as a mission like at a certian point you learn that they have been spotted and you have to capture a planet and person to find out the actual location. or you have to buy the locations.

 

just throwing around some ideas any one else got a idea about how the Dark force and the Alderaanian fleets could be added?
