EVIDENCE OF DIPLOMACY!!

[Mikan Cyclone]

YES! Proof that there was once A type of diplomacy in the game!!  I found a text entry while I was browsing the files, and I found this:

 

TEXT_HERO_UNIT_DIPLOMAT    | Alliance Diplomat

 

That proves there was diplomacy in the game, but it was taken out for reasons unknown.  That is all.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

What do you mean by "Diplomacy"?

[Athanasios]

Lol, mikan, there are a bunch of evidences both for diplomacy and repair function. Like the and entries...

[Foshjedi2004]

I beleive that the original EAW was Rebellion 2 as we Believed this time Last Year.

[Mikan Cyclone]

Repair isn't in the game? Oh.  Yeah, but this is hard evidence man....

[Foshjedi2004]

I bet that LEC removed it as they realised that they could do a litmus test with the basic game and readd them all in the Expansions...maintenence, Diplomacy, Political Power, Planets with Force potential

[Mikan Cyclone]

So basically what your saying is they took it out so they could screw us with expansions for it?

[Foshjedi2004]

Most Likely..  We need Delphi to admit or Disprove my theory.

[Athanasios]

...not to mention that Torpid already said a long time ago that they have modelled over 50 units, but kept only what they were told to keep...

[Foshjedi2004]

That Was Actually Delphi...Or maybe Joebwan...

I was looking through the game code with a hex editor and I found this!!!

 

20 01

 

This proves, beyond any doubt or wild speculation, that HAL, the thinking computer from the 2001 movie was in the game and lucasarts/petroglyph were forced to remove it to add in a future expansion!

 

Perhaps some things were just removed because they took the game in a direction outside the original scope or design for the game?  maybe?

 

before you get upset (if that is possible, lol) I don't think it's a bad game.

[Foshjedi2004]

The Thing is that they said that they were going to "Polish" the game and yet it came out with bugs.  So hat leads me to believe that some major changes occured in those few short months.

[Mikan Cyclone]

Evidently.

[Nevets]

Yea I agree, I think the original game was meant to be much larger, but then when LEC saw the buzz that EAW created they said hey, we can make a couple games and expansions in the series.

 

Like someone said, Delphi said they originally had 50+ models for the game, this is models not concept art. Usually they will make concept art and then cut them, they were past that stage and putting them in the game and being cut.

 

Also the whole postponing the game to make it the most polished game ever only to release it with a lot of bugs seems a bit suspicious as well.

 

Also it seems they were already working (at least major preproduction) on the expansion well before the release of EAW. Maybe they already have a lot of stuff made to add to it?

[Mikan Cyclone]

O RLY?......

 

So they were working on the expansion before the game came out....Ha! They're going to add in all the stuf they took out in expansions!  CHEAP!

 

It's a conspiracy.  Or maybe I'm just paranoid.  More on this after the Weather.

[Foshjedi2004]

:'( If i'm right  :'(

[Nevets]

But it is still too bad that Mustafar wasnt included.

 

 

Mustafar will serve its purpose, once again,  in due time. 

 

The Witches of Dathomir! Complete of course with their Rancor pets. Though not really a creature more like a unit.

 

 

"looks into his crystal ball of EAW design present and future"      

 

"The war for the StarWars galaxy has only just begun." 

 

I say the Devs need to do a little more legwork and save themselves the trouble of actually coming up with ships that can fill in roles that are already filled in by ships that are in the Universe.

 

 

We have designs, Lucas didn't want them in.  We actually have over 50, but they were cut down for quality. We'd rather have ships that are fun and have unique tactical abilities than munging in ships for the sake of having them because they fit the time-line. 

 

All these lead me to believe that and expansion was underway even before the game was released. I can't seem to find the post where he told us the tie interceptor was going to be in sometime down the line (I am pretty sure he told us).

[Mikan Cyclone]

I hope the expansion extends it all the way to The Truce at Bakura, because I want to make a Ssi-Ruuk mod!

[Nevets]

It looks like the Ssi-Ruuk and their planets were in the game or planned to be at one point, so them being in the expansion doesn't seem to far out of the question.

[Mikan Cyclone]

I know...that's why I'm sad they weren't put in..... :'(

 

This game makes me a sad panda

[Nevets]

Ah, finally found it:

 

In reference to tie interceptors...

Do you really think we've forgotten about them?  Things are in motion boys...   

 

some more:

 

Delphi are you confirming its in the game?

 

Mustafar is not in the game.  That's about all I can really say for now. 

 

Well looks like it is official, clone wars expansion.

 

Now how does that play within the EAW time-line?

Are you drunk, or something? Or just sarcastic? It's hard to tell with text.

[Foshjedi2004]

Sarcasm

[Mikan Cyclone]

By the sound of the thing, he's mocking me because I point out some stuff I found. 

[DragonShadow]

I guess. If so, it was kind of stupid, and pointless, and a failed attempt...
