I am going to cast my vote for this because of how easy it is to setup a game and how easy it is to install it. Like for a Aoe2 clone, it is REALLY good. The amount of polish and all the cannon voice work. Its ridiculously good. Fucking Liam neeson teaches you how to play the game. Then the campaigns of like 10 different missions for each civ fully voice supported and with inclusion of cut scenes. Anyone who isn't burned out on starwars will love this game.
Yeah, all this polish enjoy sitting and doing fucking nothing on the "take the capital" mission for the traders for example or shit like boss nass charging into the fray and the ai focus firing him or the fact that the tier you get AA is the same tier you get acces to aircraft Its a good game, but you are sugarcoating it, it has a multidute of flaws that makes it a highly trollable game. Its not a AoE clone, it IS AoE with skins.
Look at the time it was made, of-course it will not hold up compared to now. People were still trying to figure out how engines work and there was not much resources and material then as there was now. It has the same issues that aoe 2 had in reguard to ai pathing and unit managing. Not to mention a lack of attack move button, and people had to use patrol instead. (Which arguably works better because they come back after killing anything in that direction.) Sure as shit better than when it used to be a mod before lucas arts buying it. Battle grounds has more flushed out lore and environments than any other SW game I played. Has the same encyclopedia that Aoe 2 had but filled with SW lore. I got play as the droids, the most awesome creations that came out of ep1. Fucked the confederation droids, the trade made robot armies cool. And don't you dare deny all the original voice work minus vader.
What do you even mean "minus vader". Vader part of the game was the one that actually had some nice work
That was not the real voice actor for vader. That was an impressionist. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Scott_Lawrence A good one, but not the real one.
Who cares, thats one genuinely fun plot related part. I actually wish they would NOT make good impressions of jarjar and chewie. In fact screw playing wookies as whole. It makes you seem like you are in a spooky attic with all those dammed squeeky doors. What im saying is, its not really "pick up and play" friendly.
Oh man, the wookies are just so fucked to listen to. I introduced it to my godfather and I heard fucked up dog noises from the walls, because he has a surround sound system for his computer. He was playing the tutorial and was having difficulty of understanding that an idle worker is a bad worker. It is really easy to figure out though, it is exactly the same game as Aoe 2 with starwars skins as you said. Like it took me 15 seconds to setup a game and played a 30 minute session with sitka. It's super easy to setup if you use gameranger. We dident even need to deal with CD keys, and this game was made with CD key protection.
If you can play AoE II, you can play star wars battlegrounds. The main draw to this game is how clunky it is - makes it ridiculous while still being an awesome adaptation of star wars to an RTS.
No thanks, I’d rather play LoL with my friends. TTT would be the only mod that I am going to stay up in the night for.
I think there will be at least 10 players for this event so OC is kinda off my list. Raider, it's time for you to say something, even though I swear to cake there's no better option than TTT. Unless we are getting more than 25 players, in that case let's just host an Empires pug.
The cake has spoken! But no, I think that we have a lot less diffrent games to choose from, Garry's mod TTT, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (might not be the best choice if we reach +8 players, if I remember correctly AoE2 only supports around 8 players...), Zombie Master (supports up to 16 players) It would be great if Trickster could setup the EPIC box to host the TTT, otherwise I feel like we could play on public ZM servers since there are quite a few of them. (also, if we fill it up we'll be all alone in there ove Btw, putting empires in the poll was so stupid of me
