... So we are late in 2006 - EAW was a great hit on the market and all the people think about an EAW 2 or an expansion. Now ... how EAW2 will look like ? 1. I say they will not do the Clone Wars and the Warlords period becouse that two periods will be pretty much covered by two new great mods for EAW. 2. They will have to go much early - Like the "Sith Wars" or go late starting from the Vong and even going later than the Vong. 3. There is a third option to make EAW as a totaly different game introduceing fighter simulation in it .... plus a FPS for the planets. And you will be able to swich betwen battle modes RTS,Fighter Simulator or FPS. I think the last variant of EAW 2 will be hard to do but at least all the models and textures and animations will be more or less already made and in the LEC store-house. Also the PCs will be powerful enough to enable an acceptable time swicth betwen RTS/Sim/FPS. ... Who knows. I bet there are no plans for an EAW 2 at this moment.

Katarn as soon as I will arrive at work monday I will disscus this with the Lead Programmer. This games are so small ... let's hope it will work.

Btw you guys should remaind the others to avoid the words "My Ideea". Use "Feedback".

So you know who you have to protect form noob questions and make sure that their presence here is made confortable here Admin Powers: Code_Monkey - EAW Lead Programer - Petroglyph Katarn - EAW Lead Producer - Lucas Arts (He no longer works for EAW) Joebwan - EAW Lead Designer - Petroglyph Delphi-PG - EAW Game Designer and Community Rep. - Petroglyph Mod Powers: Bigedmond - EAW Tester - Lucas Arts Lord_Scud - EAW Tester - Lucas Arts

On a second consideration - no I will make a topic here about them here - I really don't want them to be separated from the rest of the members and admins. If we separate them they will be to much in the open. I know we know what a NDA Contract is but imagine noobs droping by and finding the developers here in the open .... the moderators will have to edit their questions non stop not to mention that they will PM them all the time. So I go to make the topic about them here in the Maw.

Hidden Usergroup ?! Hmmm intersting - let me see what I can do. Anyway we usualy give special ranks fast to developers so I don't see any problem detecting them.

Yes there is alot of space combat in this game - but the graphics are - well only a SW fan will eat them. The GUI is designed on Windows princilples se it very confusing at start. For more documentation try www.swrebellion.com

I wonder if I can add this on games for mobiles?!

Cool stuf Lord_Scud Any funny quotes from moments when the battle is finished ? Like what people say when they loose or win in the QA Departament.

Well as soon as i will be out from this Mozzzila I will do it As for puting Dev. in a separate usergroup - no. I don't want them to stick out to much of the rest of members. I am still very worried that someday a wave of noobs will drop by and start to ask stupid EAW questions that will be in contradiction with the NDA. then all our work will be affected. ...

Hmmm ... this happened to me when I instaled mods or moded the senate .ini files I will advaice you to reinstal Rome and if is still doing it reinstal your video drivers and DirectX. If is still doing it - install the Rome patch. Anyway if you get bored of RTW the original I will advaice you to try this : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=53 its not yet on the "market" but alin works on it and I'm sure he will give you the beta. Trust me this mod is better that anything CA or Sega did or will do. As a mater of fact they get their inspiration for their next expansion from this mod. You can find alin here : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=457

No Fosh - this Seraphim is just a demo ideea nobody is makeing it now Ubisoft from Canada is makeing a new PoP

Welcome Lord_Scud I gived you the same rank like Bigedmond. You also recived mod powers and all the acces you need around the facillity. Pls. "kill" as many bugs you can find for us We know you guys will find them all Btw are you also eating the same food type like Bigedmond ?! How you guys eat in your one hour lunch break ? You order something by phone or you have the food taken from home ?

Thanks for joining Joe I will make you a special rank like Ismael did for Mike. And also I will give you admin powers. Normally this is Ismael's job but i'm sure I remember today he will be at his friend Abdul playing, so I will do it for him. Pls. make your self at home and enjoy your time with us Also thanks for the update on Petro and Mike from months ago Ismael always sais that Mike works around the clock and even late in the night.

http://www.samuraisams.net/images_home/healthierHere.jpg Ohhhh Man ! That is looking so tasty - what it taste like anyway ? And what you guys have in those two refrigerators ?! EDIT: Is that Cola ?! I don't think Cola is a very healthi product - I will prefer some natural juice.

Loll - Yes the last one I also know they are working on a new one at Montreal now ... so who knows maybe they will decide to ship two new different games on the same platform ... I wish

Loll - Welcome here Pls enjoy your time with us BTW some of us like RTW Look in the Mods Forum - here : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=457 Anyway you didn't selected email notification for this topic in your profile In EAW you play like in RTW - kind of - but you don't have to take turns its all real time but you can speed up the game or lower its speed

What exactly is a samuari sams?! We don't have samurai food here in Romania No energy drinks :( So I was rung. How about the other people working in the Petroglyph Office - can you tell us what the others are eating ? I wish they can join us on this topic in their lunch (food) break time.

I still think they have "Chocolate Energy Bars" and some cool drinks : Like Red Bull for example. Since Red Bull gives you wings so I'm sure you can design the game faster Bottom line - their brains need alot of fuel - so what they use for that ? Maybe we should ask them in the next intervew

Nope - this looks more like Canadian food - I think they go more for the Las Vegas style of food - wich is ?! Fast Food ?

Quote Mike Legg :

I remember that Joe said they didn't know yet if the will add tractor beams - so what do you think are they required ? What about escape pods ? Will they be able to save more than characters ? For example the crew of that ships and by this you will still have their experience level to add it to a new ship ?! That will be cool.

All of us remember that this topic was all over the LEC forums to our horror anyway my intuition is telling me that the SSD will be in the game. The question is : What do you think Petroglyph's Designers will design to be the SSD oponent on the rebel side ? http://www.swrebellion.com/hosted/cain/Previews/9991.JPG I don't think they will take the SWR Bulwark Battleship and put in EAW - so they probably designed a new ship on paper and will add it one day soon. I don't think that with the DS and SSD on the Imperial side they will let the rebels will no super big ship - its not their stile.
