I searched through my pictures from the Games Convention but was not able to find a picture showing these droids but i found one at http://www.sw-eaw.de http://www.sw-eaw.de/bild.htm?id=221&showcat=5&eintrag=24&bc=3 The grey little ones behind and next to the MPTL-2a I forgot their name but I know that I have noted it down but I have to search for my notes. If I find them I will let you know.

I repeat: calm down it's just a game...

And a quick note: The MPTL-2a comes with one or two (dont remeber) small "recon droids" (forgot how they were called) which can scout the area in front of the MPTL-2a because this units firing-range is bigger then the range it can see and spot units.

They disappeared in the Games Convention demo. The "to save memory" thing is just because persistent bodies take a lot of memoy and not every computer is able to handle this. But as ever: what they showed was still in an early stage so things may have changed

Dead units stay for a while but dissapear du to save memory capacity. Perhaps you will be able to set the amount of time dead bodies stay persistent but I doubt it.

What I can tell you from the Games Convention: The MPTL-2a really needed some time to set up and oce it is unleashed it eats infantry and light vehicles, so to speak. But it is highly inaccurate. So large vehicles (which do not drive to slow) or very fast ones with AA capacity can easily take out MPTLs. The imperial counterpart however took less time to set up and had minor splash damage but did way more damage to verhicles and buildings when it hit. Al least this was my impression from these units.

So, I don't know if the building on this image is fully destroyed but I think so. Also in another video I saw that a building (Minin Facility) exploded but was left as a burning/smoking ruin but I don't know if it is persistent because the video ended with this sequence. http://www.pexsus.com/~littleb/eaw/building/vlc.jpg

To clear things up: (Info taken from Games Convention) Rebels could build Pod-Walkers (came in groups of three, but as single units) In the interface Pod-Walkers used the AT-ST graphic because the Pod-Walker did not have one (as some other units), so they used the AT-ST pic. So, Nevets is right

Ah, good old "Die Siedler". I have tears in my eyes when I see what they did to one of my favorite games over the years. The game become worse and worse. A sad story... And refering to AoE3: I don't like it. AoE 2 is still way better. But that is my oppinion. And I know that many people do not agree

I think you will be able to toggle in the game settings for skirmish and multiplayer battles.

Mh, IF my memory serves me correctly buildings had several tiers of being destroyed (so you actually see the damage done) and in the end the building was left as a ruin. But I'm not sure if this is correct. I think I check the videos. Perhaps this will refresh my memories.

Yeah. Perhaps something that you can send in your maunaul (or whatever has the cdkey on it) and (for a small fee) in return you get your manual and an additional CD which only works in LAN. Wow, that would be nice but I will buy the game even if it lacks of this feature

Just a hint: The info comes from what was shown at the Games Convention. Do not give anything on the "combat power" stats. They do not fit (they even told that at the booth)

Ah ok. Thanks. Due to my brother is very into Linux I think I might give it a try whenever the next "format c:" comes around

Nope, more of an Imperial Star Cruiser This is the Tarkin: http://starwars.wikicities.com/images/6/6a/The_Tarkin.jpg WTF? This is really an ugly one...

From its look it would say: Yes, I would like to see this baby ingame

I took the freedom to post the two in a news. And I took this oportunity to post the Probot along with it. Sorry

Mh. Is WINE still in development? I only heared of Cedega last times I tried to inform myself about gaming issues on Linux. But this costs money so not really a "true Linux thing"...

I think my SDs will get names taken from Poe poems like: Raven Elenore Dreamland Nevermore etc

I wanted to ask this question in the chat but sadfully it wasn't asked. So: Does any body know if EaW will run on other "non-Windows" OS' like Mac OSX or Linux? Here in Germany we have a very, very large Linux Community and computer nerds are alway big science fiction fans This is a market Petro and LA should not miss

Yep. As we thought. And I think it's good this way.

In the Games Convention "demo" stormies came in very, very large numbers and died in those. So they have no use for getting experience. I think the same fits to TIE Fighters

Puh, after some work I have the log and german translation up: Original Chat Log German Translation

What I have been told at the Games Convention the demo is coming in december (most likely at the end) but of course they are trying to bring it ASAP. Quality needs time
