Bateman1982

Hello. As a new player to Rebellion, I'm wondering if anyone can offer me some advice on RebEd. I would like to start a new game where the AI will pose a reasonable challenge, i.e. mainly launch missions against me and attack me using reasonable fleets. Will the AI do this on its own on Hard difficulty, or can you recommend any changes using RebEd to make the AI put up a fight? I'm finding myself wanting to play this game again after not really enjoying EmpireatWar, but the poor AI is putting me off a bit. Admittedly the release of galciv2 is also interfering. Theres only so many hours in the day for playing space strategy games!

EAW isn't a bad game, its just that it lacks the amount of depth that I tend to enjoy in games. Good for a quick game of something but there are lots of little things that individually wouldn't matter but when combined they take away a fair bit from the game experience. (e.g. no persistent damage for ships, no negative consequence for using the death star, the very high speed of travel between planets..) Though I cannot deny there is something satisfying about sending Darth Vader in to personally kill a few squads of rebel soldiers.

Hi, I've been playing Empire at War for the last week but I'm finding it rather shallow , though its prompted me to reinstall star wars rebellion after years of neglect. It seems a lot deeper, with characters able to be abducted then rescued, the loyalty factors etc. The only thing putting me off getting into the game are the many threads saying the AI is completely useless. Is this the case? If so, are there any downloadable patches to improve the AI?
