The aim of the live chat is to have questions answered about the game and for the community to get a feeling of what else we can expect. i wont be asking the tradtional silly questions you see but of course, everything is a balancing act as there are some questions that they cant answer. With this chat, I would be expecting something to be announced/mentioned in there somewhere. I should know bythe end of the week who will be attending as well DMUK

I am currently working out a time that suits most time zones. With Europe being so far ahead, it isn't an easy task. I will ensure that it won't be that late DMUK

Just to clear up confusion EA publish ALL Lucasarts titles in Australia. And, you don't see the Death Star destroy any ships but around 9mins into the video, the guy with the microphone mentions that you can DMUK

EaW.net announce Exclusive Live Chat Hot on the heels of our exclusive screenshots, Empire At War.net are proud to announce another exclusive! In late October, we will be holding the first live chat with Lucasarts/Petroglyph as we let YOU ask the questions to the people who are developing this exciting RTS title, launching on February 6th. Further details will be announced in early October and this is in addition to the Q&A session that will be published shortly by us.

Im trying very hard to get some exclusive screenshots of the SSD - if its in the game of course DMUK

I am uncertain of the total number of planets. If you want to see the Galactic Map in action, visit the trailer section and view the whopping 181MB video (47 minutes long) The video will play and the first look of the galactic map kicks in around 4 minutes into the video. It explains about the Galactic Map. You also get to find out abit more about it later in the video. DMUK

I think you will find i said 'Sure' DMUK

One of the key features in the RTW expansion is the ability to fight at night. In addition to this, there have been several tweaks all over the game. A friend of mine works as an artist on RTW and he knows how much of a huge fan I am of the series and has mentioned that the engine has been improved - making it better for him to design stuff Someone mentioned Sega. Sega are ones to watch. They are slowly becoming a power house in the publishing world in the UK. They now publish two of the biggest selling titles on the PC - Football Manager and now Rome: Total War in addition to the first console outing for Creative Assembly - Spartan:Total War. DMUK

The Galactic Map will have around 80 planets (so thats 160 possible battle zones) and if they decide to build an expansion - which they will - they could probably extend it to 100. Space combat is engaged when someone drags their fleet along the 'Hyperspace' route to a different system so if you're fleet is sitting there doing nothing, they might get a little shock to the system!

Good work Little B DMUK

If anyone is having problems downloading, or cant wait, i have uploaded it to view over at www.empireatwar.net trailer section DMUK

Im up for a game now, if you are around. The website is uploading and its going to be a while. I will send you my msn DMUK

Galaxies deserves to be taken to a desert and burried in the sand. It probably is the worst Star Wars game ever (use the term Star Wars loosely) - EVER - even worse than Force Commander! DMUK

I'm up for a game - I am free this weekend. GMT is my time - if you fancy a long game or something DMUK

Yes. I am the only one with these images. Im disappointed as I have worked on this all day. The good news is i have found the problem and it made me alittle angry! The site will be up tomorrow with the images. DMUK

A quick update. Doesnt look like it will be ready by the end of today. Sorry about that. Ive been working on the problem for over 10 hours and still cant figure out why im getting these errors. DMUK

I am still working on the site. For some unknown reason, theres been coding issues thrown in at the last minute. ETA should be 3-4 hours time. Considering ive been working on this problem all day DMUK

To answer a couple of questions Our screenshots are not from Petro. They are direct from Lucasarts and have never been seen before(hence the exclusive). The biggest talking point is the new ship in these screens. The designer diary is the same as whats around the web currently but we will be having our very own exclusive diaries as well. DMUK

On Monday 22nd August, Empireatwar.net will be showing off 4 EXCLUSIVE screenshots - some of which feature a starship NEVER BEFORE SEEN! We also have a designer diary (more of those to come throughtout the year). Our NEW LOOK website will launch with these screens.
