Thank you for your reply. Has anyone ever tried to change the data files during the game ?

Hi there, I´ve got a kind of "cheating-problem" and now I need your help. The Story: A friend of me and me were playing Rebellion. My friend had one planet with 6 Sullustan Regiment, 1 Alliance Army Regiments. I was in the Orbit of that planet with a Ship and about 7-8 sabotage characters. I sent my characters (with decoy) on sabotage Mission and they were successfull. My friend was really surprised about that. We just talked about that after we saved and quit the Game-Session for that evening. He said that the chance of success on that planet was rather low but I sabotaged 3 Sullustan regiments in one turn....pretty good. Too Good for my friend. Next day. I was interested in some details of Research and Ships and activated Rebed. I didn´t save anything but I clicked on OK to get out of that window. I didn´t realized I changed anything. Now the Problem begins. We were just preparing for starting the old session when suddenly the Message appeard: the Data Files differ. I thought Rebed might have changes domething although I didn´t want to. Just a few clicks, I thought, new installation, don´t use Rebed to be sure. But my friend got the clue I was cheating on him. He thought I might have changed the Files during the Game. And now the Question: Is it possible for me to cheat with Rebed ? I think no, because the Game always realizes the different data files. Can someone confirm this ? I think my friend wants to have a neutral opinion.

I am willing to play but as long as I don´t know how to get the Game run I´am not ablo play immediately. ICQ: 55911013 ; Mail: AldiSaboteur@gmx.de Please answer my Post in this Category.

Hi Guys, I am playing SWR for a "short" Time now and I think I "mastered" the Game. Now I a seeking a new Challange ->Multiplayer. But as you all know Setting up a Multiplayer Game isn´t easy. For me (German) it´s almost rather hard to understand what you write and whats actually correct. Examples: 1. You can´t play Multiplayer by the old Lucasarst Support right ? 2. Does MSN- Zone function with v. 1.01 ? 3. Gamespay Arcade does only funtion with v 1.00 ? 4. Himachi does function ? 5. Where do you meet, if you want to setup a Multiplayer Game ? These are my primary Questions. I´ve setup a Game in local LAN, and it worked. But i have no Players for gaming local, that´s why I need the Internet. If i knew a german speaking person can explain me that I would have asked a long time ago. But i seems there are no. If you can explain me how i get this multiplayer to work you might have a new Opponent. Thanks for now, see ya.

I´ve got some New Questions and maybe something more. This Game ist really "wasting" my time. I should have some other things to do, but I always prefer playing Rebellion instead of cleaning the flat etc. I just tried do start a multiplayer game in local network. It worked with the opened ports listed in the forum in Thread xyz... But i would like to play online. What choices are there ? MSN Zone ? This programm for the com port direct play ? Is there no support form lucas arts any more or do i have to configurate my router ? Anyway the game is rather easy. I started using RebEd to set the Maintenance and constructions Points (Ships) of my opponent to 66 %. I also activated the Jedi Training for the Emperor (why the hell not ?) There are already some Thread in this Forum what changes you made because of the Story. (Jan dodona Ship Design instead of Wedge Antilles , Page Troop Design) Do you have some more Changes you can describe rather well ? I´ve read about 17 Star Wars Books and i think there have to be made some Changes with the original Data. A few years ago relly liked the books, but now i think the´re "nearly" a waste of time. There´s only the Alliance and the Alliance characters winning and it is no special literature. On the other Hand it´s quite well to know who Thrawn is, Palleon, Daala, Garm Bel Iblis...BTW What Characters do you miss ? Mara Jade ? Boba Fett ? Dash Rendar ? Obi Wan Kenobi... I´ve read something about the Emperor Ghost and clones after destroy of DS 2. What Books are theese ? Black Fleet Crisis ? Has anyone played the D6 RPG here ? Enough for now - see ya later.

Well thank you - helped me a little bit. I tried to assault a planet one day with a Gencore II and I dont really remember but i think I couldn´t invade it. Maybe i need 2 - i will check that. The Bombardment answers is not satisfying me. I bombarded a planet once and didnt get through the shield. Then I realized that i havent any fighters onboard. So I build Tie bombers, about 6-12 and with them I could destroy the Gencores. I think the Fighters are more effective then the Starships - but I can´t explain. Have to check that too. Traitors are really disturbing. I ve already read enough about them. I don´t think i have any (not loosing any more...) but maybe there are some. And at last a new Question - what does "reserved" mean ? Facilities, Shipyards... ? Next time i will try some TC´s - can you reccomend some ? Read something about better AI - that would be great. It´s rather boring now since i understood the game and some functions. Nedd better enemies Thank 4 now - by the way. do you know ICQ ? 55911013 - See ya ElwoodBlues

Hi Guys, i´ve got some questions. Maybe you can answer me some of them. 1. What are these yellow/red buttons under the blue ones ? (planet-view) 2. Do you build LNR I, II against the computer ? I seems to me that he never bombards a planet if he has no change to destroy the Gencore. So why build ? 3. What exactly do you need to destroy the Gencore of your opponent ? The Gencore has a Shield strength and defense strength. The Fighters have an Bombardment Value and the Starships have an Bombardment modifier. How do i exactly calculate these factors to get thorugh the shield ? 4. I am just playing the medium difficult level (and medium galaxy) and i win in about 450 - 700 turns. (very slow speed, manage by myself) Why should I train other Characters to use the force ? The Time isn´t worth it. (In medium) With luck i got Luke to jedi Master in 380 turns. Already Captured Vader, Palpatine under blockade and Coruscant ist nearly fallen. I think it will due a lot of time since i ve got the next Jedi Master, even if i only need 3 Missions. 5. Do you know some tricks with Han Solo-Speed advancement ? 6. Why do i get the message - the diplomacy mission has been foiled by opposing forces ? The diplomacy mission was on my planet which i assaulted a few turns before. Is the computer using Special Forces to foil my missions ???? 7. Last Week the computer blockaded Balmorra. Balmorra had an Gencore II. Next turn the Computer invaded it. OK...Great Fleet and great Firepower. I waited a few turns and send my fleet to regain control of Balmorra. The Gencore II was still there - so how did he got through it ??? I had to do a Sabotage mission and thought the Computer did the same. He diddnt. Bug ? 8. How do you set your priorities of science for the caracters who can do all ? 1. Factories - 2. Ships - 3. Troops ? 9. I have read something about minimum Troops on a planet. Where can i find how many Tropps i need. I do always build 4 sullustans for each planet. Hope you can help me and you aren´t disturbed with my "rotten" english. Any other Germans here ? ElwoodBlues
