I've never been a big fan of RTS games leaning towards macro play (i.e. AoE, C&C etc.) but I really did enjoy TA, which involved absolutely no micro at all, the game was a blast, I wish cavedog hadn't gone under, nobody has done anything like that since :/ I downloaded the demo for this new starwars game, have yet to play it, but I take heavy preference to WC3:TFT these days and I find most other rts to be... sorely lacking.

fear no more superfarstucker for TAs true follow up, Supreme Commander, will be released this year (hopefully)

Talk about a sweet demo!

The very first thing I do with any demo: just jump right in! Damn the tutorials!

So I went straight to galactic conquest. Beginning I was clueless, but after a few minutes the UI was easy to use. Marks of a good game design.

There's a few things I've learned, though. Do not use your beginning garrison forces as an invasion group! One walker pretty much destroyed my group. And btw, it takes more than 1 airstrike to take down a walker.

slow their to


OK got the game and played through the tutorial. When you need a hand against a large force don't forget the Bombing run button

So how do you change the camera angle and build ground buildings?

 

[Papier]

I know you can do like a cinematic camera run. Press space bar to start it. I don't know how to make the camera change pitch or anything though.

 

[DerekDRP]

Get this game at all costs

:two thumps:

Have to agree it isn't half bad at all, better then some I've seen recently with a slightly different twist. I think they did a good job at least demo wise, can't wait to see what there final product will be like.

Couldn't agree with you more on that. Total Annihilation was set as a base block for all RTS's back then and well bearly any follow it today which is sad. Theres still a modding community for it and all even. Great game just wish it gave more options at least on todays machines for multiplayer with more then just 1 AI per computer in lan games.

SC will be a great improvement and from the screen shots already, we can tell that the beta testers are having one hell of a time, lucky ********.

 

[DerekDRP]

link to Sc please?

Ya, I did that and it was awesome. The AT-AT is so friggen powerful that you could literally walk through troops and through those little walker dudes and destroying them in the process! They're only weakness is those blaster turrets. Dangit.
