hi! I'm new on this forum and i have some questions about the game. I saw videos and interviews chowing the system of planets where we are going to attack a planet when we want. And I dont know if I should compare this to rome total war......If we replace cities by planets, is it like rome??? are we going to move troops as we want but turn by turn??

 

(sorry for my english, i speak french and i know my english is not very good so be indulgent )

Loll - Welcome here Pls enjoy your time with us

 

 

BTW some of us like RTW Look in the Mods Forum - here :

Anyway you didn't selected email notification for this topic in your profile

 

In EAW you play like in RTW - kind of - but you don't have to take turns its all real time but you can speed up the game or lower its speed

It's like Rome in many ways, and It's also a lot like another Star Wars game, Star Wars Supremacy (Star Wars Rebellion in America). When it comes to the actual battles, it'll be like C&C (Command and Conquer)

I haven't really seen anything which implies it's anything at all like Rome: Total War. The gameplay I've seen resembles more of a C&C, although you don't have to build anything in the "battle" view. I guess you could say that it's similar becuase of building everything in grand strategy mode, but that's not exclusive to RTW at all, in fact all turn based games do it like that and some real-time games like Knights of Honor as well.

 

However, there is still some time, so maybe Petroglyph will make their game better by taking the good things of RTW like character revenue, unit experience, morale, loyalty, and the like .

I feel your pain

I'm rather confused at the above posts... is it turn-based at all, or not? Excluding battles, obviously... is the decision-making ability, when talking about the galactic map, allocated in turns, or is it real-time? Ie, can I attack my enemy at any time, all while being vulnerable to his attack at any time?

 

PS, to the original poster, moi aussi je vis au québec! Dans le coin de Hull, mais bon.

Its a pure RTS no turns. Anyway, cain has th ability to speed up and slow down the game been confirmed? I know its kind of common sense but i wasnt sure that was confirmed yet or not. Whens the next interview?

Ohh, if only your heroes could go insane, like some of your generals in RTW. I swear, all of my Roman leaders are either sodomizers, drunkards, abusers, or raving lunes.

 

An actual speech one of my generals gave before a battle:

 

"But BEWARE, men, BEWARE! For I have eaten all of the enemy's bees, and they have been without honey for many a moon. They are angry! Go forth, my pretties! Go forth!"

first off what do you mean indulgent? but i hope it isn't like rtw because i really didn't like that game......(in a different thread i said i never played it but since then cuz so many peoples seemed to like it i bought it)

THis game is Empire at War, not Rome Total war, there may be some similarities but EaW will be alot better.

I also hope it dosen't have as mny bugs as RTW did, took me forever to find solutions to alot of the bugs my game had.

I agree with Vader89 it might be similiar to RTW but EAW will be heaps better

EaW, hopefully will be the next generation of RTS. Rome Total War set the bar. I dont like the turn based aspect. Takes to long to create Roman Armies. EaW may have found away to pick up the place. Perhaps we will see a RTW 2 with EaW's inovations.
