I was able to go into EBgames 3 months ago and pre-order? You live in the boonies?

Well, I brought this up a couple of months ago... People must ignore me:( http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1369&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=biginc BigInc

If I recall correctly, either in the live chat or from Delphi, they stated that on some planets the shield generator is outside the shield and on others it is actually inside the shield!! So, in some situations these planets will be harder to take over and planetary bombardments would not be as effective! BigInc

I totally agree, if you don't want to follow the campagin just play Scenarios or skirmish mode where you just try to conquer the whole galaxy or battle at once particluar point! Again, really this info that is released has nothing new! w00t everything is still as I expected! BigInc

Well I am talking about the PC Version anyway! The PS2 & XBOX versions are probably fine, however, PC Games have higher expectations in this situation because the graphic potiental between XBOX, PS2, GC are crap compared to modern PC's. So, I would expect the PC version to be better, however, if you play the PC version it is crap, compared to other PC games on the market.

Well, I can see how SWBF2 was somewhat fun! You have to try and rationalize yourself for buying the game ... I mean be realistic, I have bought and played Far Cry, Half Life 2, F.E.A.R, just to mention and few, and the graphics are 10 times better! Just face it they took the xbox version (733 Pentium, 64 Meg G-Force 2) and copied it to PC. They didnt' buff up the graphics one bit! If I wanted to play something that crappy I would install Solider of Fortune or something from the late 1990's. Also, the figther controls were horrible! I could really go on for hours!!! So, I'll stick with the games that have good game play and graphics and try to salvage what money I wasted on SWBF2!

SWBFII SUCKED!! The graphics were horrible! It looked like they took the orginal and just added some content! Not even enought to keep me interested for more than 10 minutes! UnInstall!! EBAY... So, if they are still working on that game they are crazy! They have to be gearing up for EAW! BigInc!

This is a very good questions, however, I think that it will matter on how many space stations you have! For example, if you have three, all at different planets you'll then be able to build three at a time. I would assume the planets will operate in the same manner. If you have more than one factory (fatory = example) you would then be able to build 1 unit at each factory. Its not rocket science. I've never played a RTS that does not use this formula. LOL BigInc

Humm, maybe this could mean other things! I highly doubt they would release the game guide before the actual game. That is complete non-sense. So there are only two possiblities: 1.) The information is incorrect! 2.) They know something we don't! Maybe the game is going to be released before they expected? I would put my money on #1. Anyway, just food for thought. BigInc

I believe that this was confirmed in the live chat that units will not gain experience because they die to quickly etc. BigInc

I would never trust the auto-resolve! I have used it on some games like Rome: Total War and I "believe" that one time I had 1000 more troops than the other side and was in my own castle and hit auto resolve and LOST!!! What the heck I thought.. I had enough archers they could of never reached my walls, let alone the rain of fire they sent with them? Who the? What the? From this day forward I refuse to ever use AUTO-RESOLVE!! AGAIN <-EVIL Lets not turn this into stupidity, if a player sends a transport unguarded, they must be silly. So, lets talk about a transport situation and get it over with!! If you did engage a transport should only take 2 minutes max to take out if that! It would be Extreme Fun to lay waste to the ships. This situation reminds me of when I run into a lower level Orc in World of Warcraft!! Let the Slaughter begin!! MUHAHAHA!! Die Orc Stay on Target!! BigInc

w00t ever! Who would just want to play this game from the galaticmap and not battle!!! From my understanding the battles should be pretty fast paced. Auto-resolve blah! Lets make the game boring!! Oh and while were at it lets add auto manage to all the planets! YAH!!! BORING!!! They are trying to make a fun game here, not something I put on my shelf and leave there to collect dust! BigInc

Thanks! I found it to be very useful, it appears that they are keeping the game in line with what I have been envisioning. BigInc

Hi, could someone please post the chat! Many of us are at work and were unable to join due to administration rights set by my company on their computers! Thanks! BigInc

Yeah, not sure! I went into the store though and bought it! The guy told me Feb 2nd. Anyways, I hope the date does not get pushed back! I took that week of the 6th off so I can play all week!
