!! Starwars: Empire at war !!
Hello,
I'll be short This game gets two exclamation marks because it's a bit repetitive and the graphics/ground battle mostly are a bit less but still tactically interesting. The best thing about the game are the voices... many, many voices who tell a story. The best thing about the game is also the story stuff... it's interesting/intrigueing. The space battles are also pretty cool. When I first played this game it was like... mhoaw... i'll probably stop playing in a short while... But as I continued playing the game I discovered there is much more to this game than meets the eye ! One really has to use strategy/tactics to win space battles and later also ground battles... which is quite interesting. Very very cool actually. People who played Tie-Figther will have a big edge in this game. Here are some examples which will definetly help you in this new game: 1. While defending space stations, look carefully which units are attacking the space station and attack them. This will drive them away from the space station. That's important. As long as the space station survives, the hanger will produce new units for you... 2. Clear the path for y-wings to take bombing runs. 3. Use x-wings to attack tie-bombers. 4. Use corvettes to shoot down tie-fighters and tie-bombers. 5. There is also a new unit some kind of missile launcher... 6. The gunboats are also good at shooting down the little crafts or other gunboats. Some units are missing though from tie-fighter: Where is the assault gun boat ? I guess it's replaced with this gunboat... though it looks a bit different. 7. Target the shield generators... then kill off the hangers and then the torpedos launchers... all with torpedos from y-wings=rebel bombers 8. When the going gets though, the though get going.... simply call in reinforcements... (I figured this out a bit late... I forgot about this... I learned it in the demo.. but forgot). You can have bigger space fleets... but only 25 units can be present on the map (for rebels) and it seems 20 for empire... but after stuff gets destroyed you can call in reinforcements. 9. Corvettes as I call them.... can be used to draw fire away from other ships by moving them in front of the destroyers and setting engines to full and moving really fast past them. 10. The missile cruisers as I call them are the most dangerous units so far... then can shoot down whole squadrans of y-wings, x-wings, tie-fighters and tie-bombers... you ll loose them in the blink of an eye/explosion. So you will first need to clear the path for them to proceed by shooting down these missile cruisers with gunboats =D and other stufffff. You can also play with darth vader and here him breeeath hehehe and there is so much more to this game. However I played the game with an overclocked system/pc and it gave exceptions... euh I think it ****ed up my save game because I cant steal the last tech level for the rebels.. or maybe it's a bug or maybe that tech can only be stolen later... I am not sure.... I also got tired of defending and doing the same battleground stuff... so I simply let the empire take some planets... that was a bad decision because the empire builds up fast (at least at medium difficulty which is what I play) The empire will become filthy rich and much harder to kill... so it would have been easier to defend in the first place instead of re-concuering later... Anyway I was kinda newbish at first... but now I am a much better player so it will probably be easier to restart anyway and build a huge fleet and simply use auto resolve to proceed/progress through the dull missions Yeah baby... that's what I did when I played with the empire and it worked pretty well I still haven't played multiplayer yet... The game also has many extra little story campaings etc. I can tell this game has a lot of content which is quite unussual... most games I have played I simply finish in one or two days non-stop... But this game is going to take many days maybe even weeks maybe even months to complete... yeah especially on my slow ass pc hehe. Soon I'll have a new pc though believe it ! Sometimes on my PIII 450 mhz it sometimes freezes a bit during space battles probably because of some explosions... They do look beautifull though... when the big ships break up... and go bang, booom etc... it can take a very long time before a victory star destroyers has completely broken up into pieces and blown up... though that's not the problem I think... it's probably all the ai for the missiles and little explosions that make it a bit freeze or maybe sometime else was going on... Well most of the time it plays smooth... but a bit slow probably... I wonder how fast everything goes on a faster pc. For all starwars fans, x-wing fans, tie-fighter fans, etc... this game is definetly pretty good and you simply have to see, play it to believe it, too experience it. It's definetly worth a download and maybe even buying it lol. It's especially fun if you played x-wing or tie-fighter ! It's simply amazing and interesting to play it as a commander from the outside and command and have them do all the things that you had to do in x-wing and tie-fighter ! You will definetly be a much better commander if you played tie-fighter as well =D That's just ****ing cool ! =D Newbies will simply have to figure it out some other way and get wacked by the ai and online I guess Learn from the great lol. Arrrghhhhh, may the force and the power be with you !!!! =D "SighhhArrghhhhh, I find your lack of faith disturbing !" =D For all doubters: give this game a ****ing try ! =D Yeaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaa. It's just worth it.... LOOK AT THE GOD DAMN EXPLOSION WIEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I know what you think... an explosion ? that's hardly worth it. NO MAN ! Total and other destruction of VICTORY STAR DESTROYER SPACE SHIPS.. BREAK UP, TURN, BOOM, BAM, CRUSH, BREAK UP, BOOM, TURN, DIE, FLOAT, **** YEAH, PIECES, DESTRUCTION MAN, you simply have to witness wieeeeee. I love seeing those suckers die and break up and blast to pieces... it's the sweet taste of victory YEAH BABY ! Bye, Skybuck. |
