dougsmithuk Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 When I first played the game, tbh, I didnt enjoy it. Having bought it mainly to play MP (as did 4 of my mates!) it proved annoying in aspects as outlined below. Now, however, after fixing most of the bad points myself, we absolutely love it!! True, its not as strategically advanced as Rome Total War (which I loved too) but if you take it for what it is its just fun! I love playing the galactic conquest mode!! Heres the story so far: 1. Hated pirates in the MP conquest map - So I modded them out!2. Movement speed was too fast in conquest map - So I modded it out too!3. Didnt like the fact that the empire died with the emperor/death star - So modded it out!4. Ship power balances, etc seemed wrong - So I modded them as well! What I'm trying to say is that everything annoying I found about the game was easily modded using the XML files The only thing I cant find out how to do (which i really really hope they add in) is persistent damage. Lets face it - after a huge space battle, the survivor has practically won the campaign game as he can then move onto each planet and claim the space around each With persistent damage, after a huge battle, the player would have to hold back to repair giving the losing a player a chance to build a new fleet. That said, however, the 3 hours spent the other night against my best mate is still talked about now as we had some awsome battles during that time!! Until I got cocky and tried to take his main planet with the death star and pesky luke with his stupid hair cut killed me As to other people moaning about MP connection issues, 4 of us play nightly with no problems whatsoever after doing the firewall trick. I find it hard to believe the game is to fault for MP connection issues as we have vastly varying systems and it all works perfectly fine!! P.S . I dont work for Petroglyph, but if they want to slip me a fiver then feel free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT Hadoken13 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 i totally agree! ^(^_^)^ and about the multi player thing.....it seems to me it works fine for those of us who changed our setting so it works. it is just that too many noobs don't change it and ruin it > my EAW online screen name [PFF]HAdoken13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
