AI in battlegrounds always swarmed me with stupid and same formations of units all the time. Then with jedi/sith with troops then come in with swarms of cannons which I just destroy with 5 tie advanced lol. Stupid. I bet its a lot better now then then. Best thing they did was steal my bombers and use it against me but that failed since I had anti air set up.

Miscomunication somewhere ? Well I dont know i'm going with the flow but I keep on hearing different things I dont know what to believe anymore so I just keep on going with what i've been told, 2006.

well official site and E3 and other people now are saying 2006 since the game is finished but they want it to be perfectly polished since the reputation of Star Wars RTS was horrible from what people said. They're trying to make this the best they can. Obiously you might now most of what i'm saying or might not who knows. lol. Well either way it'll be nice just some people bashin the game.

well it has till spring 2006 to get fixed up so you might get your with then. I always keep saying that since anything can happen since maybe a suprise might knock you out of your chair.

Thats what I used to be doing. I just build shields and walls first then units to further protect myself then I build units to conquer. Works most of the time. Anybody go quantity over quality or vice versa ? or do you guys go both quality and quantity ?

I kinda like it the way it is since I care more for the gameplay then the size of things at the moment. If things are about the size they should be its all good. Maybe we should have classical (which is in game) and realistic option were everybody could be happy command your troops and conquer the galaxie

This just wants you to play the game more doesn't it ? lol. Well I like the ideas in this game and Rancor eating troopers. Lol. Rancor owning a AT-AT is nice. So the planets I was able to spot were -Tatooine -Naboo -Ryloth -Bespin -Kashyyk -Dagobah -Ogthaamla (or something like that) -Hoth I'll edit when I see more or identify more

well we dont even talk about Obi-wan, Vader's best friend or used to be. Well all Obi-wan did was just fight Vader so his powers might be speed ? I wonder if Leia could turn into a jedi unit. We can make our history so wonder if thats possible.

Well they might say 30 but we might have 300 Well I like how the scout fires 3-4 lasers at a time instead of 1 laser every 10 seconds like in battlegrounds. Well who knows were this path will lead us.

200 planets ? lol we'll get more like 130 planets if we're lucky enough. Just got to keep these topics in official forum up on top.

well i'll use my star destroyers to destroy all them ion cannons and buildings

It will happen just give it time which I doubt you will. There was one that was close but failed since newer ones came out. Well if you wait a bit you might mistaken a ai for a human. I know someone out there thought of that but the game was probably rushed.

lol seems like they dont understand video topics

I think they're workin on it. Vader just didn't care there was a rancor behind him and I think got injured by one.

I think people only have windows media player right ? I have winamp which is a regular and trusted player and it played those videos without a problem. Wolf and some other guy had that problem since they only have windows media player. Thought that might help if still problems

Well when you conquer planets you gain heros and resources and possibly cache of units right ? Well I kept on thinking if we could get them on our side even if they're with the other side, bribe em somehow. You know how Vader went back to good and killed Sidious and in the EU Luke went to the Dark side to destroy Sidious and his army and Leia had to help him come back to the light. Just wondering if thats a possibility.

Yup. That would be nice. but them AT-AT death animations are always the same. fall down head first. It could fall sideways, backwards (if legs bent), downwards from legs collapsing. I guess that'll be fixed when its ready to ship. Star Destroyer being built on land would be nice to see and during combat also.

Well if you only build resource buildings its all good. If I have to build them now that will be annoying but from what I heard the AI takes care of all the resource crap. As long as we can build military buildings its all good. How they pop out of buildings (if they do) will be interesting to see. Imaging the doors open and a AT-AT just comes out of the factory.

Ya thats what we're all basing it off on. You could also build turrets on ground which can attack in both ground and space so you can withstand better assault. Build massive amounts of ties and bombers and then the Rebels surely will be outnumbers. if this was multiplayer then have one person focus on ground and other focus on space forces so then you'd stand more chances and thats what everybody knows. Also Ion cannons, cant live without it

this for the game or the forums ?

I want AI to have a personality, Everytime I play the battlefield seems ..........empty if you know what I mean, Its like nobody is there. Ron tried making a ai with a personality but they say the same things all over again. Battlegrounds tried also but failed. We have the tech but just ignore the hell out of it. Theres people with dial up still so it'll make you think twice instead of just attacking a normal AI

^ ^

so we have 30 from E3 ? Well we might have 40 - 80+ during release or 200 if they want us to shut up

yup. well all we can look at now are pictures and videos and play homeworld 2 star wars mods lol.

well I took screenshots for the people who like looking at things more clearly. pictures 14 - 31. Thanks Cain http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=110 http://www.freewebtown.com/ghostlypolovnik/E3_Empire_at_war.html Those lines connecting planets are hyperspace lines. THose dots in the hyperspace lines i'm guessing are traders. Rancor's eat troopers. Vader gets himself into trouble. And a nice looking menu.
