LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL (okay, it's not funny, but still... ;D)

The galactic map doesn't seem optimized to me. My 3.0 machine should be able to handle that no problem, but it gets really slow when I control loads of planets. Just my 2 cents on the subject.

The first day that I played it I would give it 5, a day after 4, but right now I think that 3 is the mark it deserves. Not bad at all, but certainly not outstanding.

Me too. The argument that they die too quickly is BS. Sure, stormies die quick, TIEs die quick, ISDs, AT-ATs and even VSDs can last a long time.

Sad but true.

I dislike that as well. It feels out of place, and some other music from the movie would work much better IMHO.

Yup this is kinda silly, when the game assigns you something like 3 interdictors at the start of the battle. Now why would I need THREE Interdictors?! Just give me one, and two ISDs, and that will we a lot more helpful!

Ditto. Having an XP system would be cool. And for the units that die like flies; that's exactly the point of an XP system...it may be hard to reach Elite level, but once a ship survived for that long, it would be one of the few elite units, and you would be extremely careful when comitting it to battle, as opposed to now, when sacrificing 5 ISDs per battle is really no big deal, since you will have them rebuilt in 5 minutes after the battle. :

Yes, it did. Because I lowered my expectations months ago, from expecting an über Rebellion 2-type of game, to a sort of easy to learn, very shallow RTS. And I was really positively suprised. I love it!!! Well, I expected as much, but still, some of the comments on these boards were quite negative. The whole game is a huge progress from the demo (patched to 1.02 of course), the SW feel is amazing, the missions are good, the graphics kick ass, and are very smooth and well animated. The battles are frantic, if maybe not really difficult (in a sense of using tactics, they are difficult if you don't just swarm over your enemy with hundreds of troops). IMHO, it kicks ass! ;D

Well an XP system would make it even better. ;D

Damn, only saw this now. > Still interested in a game?

Well okay... Anyone else? ;D

Anyone up for a MP game or two before we get our greedy paws on EaW?

I kinda liked the voice acting of the Imp officer and Mon Mothma. Han's voice is just dreadful though.

While I disagree with a lot of your statements, I agree that the replay value of the game could be very low. The sheer minimalism of available options is a bit worrying to me as well. Adding a few small things like unit ranks would increase the overall appeal of the game. But, as we know, the demo is just a small portion of the game. Let's wait and see.

I find that they are pretty effective against the Acclamator. Not good for anything else though, their shields are pretty weak.

Wow, this is nice! The new units kick ass! ;D

My AMD 3.0 runs it pretty okay on max. level (maybe slows down once in 5 minutes). The game looks beautiful though!

I don't like the way that the Acclamator and VSD die so quickly. I attacked them with two Neb-Bs and 2 Corvettes (one of each attacked one of the imp ships), and they died in no time, on hard level (the station and the rush of bombers and fighters proved to be far more demanding).

At the battle on Tatooine, Boba Fett just stood there and didn't even fire back until he died.

Two things I thought of during the night: 1. bombing runs are too powerful. They can literally disintegrate an entire army if it would happen to stand in the way of an attack run. 2. battles are too chaotic, especially land battles. managing units is too difficult under fire (can't operate with more than one unit at once effectively), but even so, the battles seem too easy. I have yet to lose a single unit.

I got mine from fileplanet.com.

Empire is present in the tutorial, but the galactic conquest mode is Rebels-only.

So far I have to say I really really like it! The cinematic mode is great (although I think the camera sometimes misses the action, and it changes position too quickly), the galactic mode is AWESOME. The battles are too quick though. I took the tutorial space station down in something like 5 seconds. This should somehow be improved IMHO (including the fast build times and travel times). The Star Wars atmosphere is totally present, and that's fantastic. No serious complaints, looks good and can't wait for the whole thing!

is the normal mission playable as Rebel only, or also Imperial?
