I never heard of Rebellion untill I joined this forum.

Guys, don't start flaming each other for the belief of what the game most closely resembles.

I would compare it as a Star Wars version of Rome Total War and Risk.

With an added dash of C&C for spice. =)

Well there are credits, which is the star wars form of money. And as I recall there was a star wars version of monopoly as well? Clearly it should be compared to monopoly and maybe trivial pursuits also. Oh, and if the heros have an automated function, the Sims too. Which reminds me of sim city, maybe in space. Oh, I hope this games spacestation building is similar to sim city 3, only in space. "Random metero shower strikes!" That would be so cool...................

Galactic battlegrounds. Ok, it isn't perfect to compare, but it is a SW rts.

 

In the end we can only compare it to whatever we know, but we do have to be careful about expecting it to follow its predecessors too closely. I wouldn't expect it to be a rebellion 2 any more than I'd expect it to be Galactic Battlegrounds 2. I expect a unique, new game... and I hope that's how most people do see it.

i hope we can dispel the similartities of HUGE manual and practically all interface, with little action and not enough boom!

Sorry for going all crazy you guys! I was still mad that the St. Louis Cardinals lost and Larry Walker retired.

EAW is more like Rebellion on MDMA

I think EAW is Supremacy(Rebellion) updated and revamped by a group of people who brought me the greatest gaming experiences of my Youth. Lucasarts couldn't have got the decision better.

Why wouldnt they want to build a DS? In SW: Rebellion it was more of a political tool than used for destroying a planet (unl;ess that planet was so heavily guarded that you just felt like blowing it up ) But if the DS was in a system you controlled the support would jump and for systems you didnt own they were much more likely to rebel, unless you used the DS then your support went way down.

 

And EAW isnt that much like SW:Rebellion it is less Grand Strategy more fighting (i like more fighting! )

I wouldn't expect it to be a rebellion 2 any more than I'd expect it to be Galactic Battlegrounds 2. I expect a unique, new game... and I hope that's how most people do see it.

 

Agreed! At the end of the day our goal is simply to make a fun SW:RTS. We have game play on many different levels (galactic, space, land) combined with some fun and unique units, powers and story telling. We really hope you guys like what we are doing with the series.

Series he says. EaW 2?

EAW 2, 3 & 4?

 

Old Republic, Clone Wars and New Republic.

 

(1987 posts- Birth Year )

don't forget return of the jedi and the empire strikes back

Oh Yeah. We Can't foret that. Oh wait Petroglyph DID!!

LMAO oh don't open that can of worms.

It'll be a great game. Just hope the sequels really add something to the game.

*begs hard for a NJO-era game*

*begs some more*

Links to Legacy at war. It has NJO era Units.

If this game makes good money, itll get an exspansion (might get one anyways.) If both the game and exspansion make good money, there will be a second game. At least, thats the pattern I see in a lot of RTSs now-a-days.

The original purpose of this thread was to discuss the tactical and strategic merits of sinking a bunch of credits in to the Death Star given what we currently know about how it will be modelled. Any new discussion on this topic, or should this thread be locked?

Moved to Bar

Shouldn't the EPIII forum be renamed to just the Star Wars forum, and then we can put all the Star Wars threads in there?

I'll ask Ghostly
