Title: Good work AT-AT walker
Post by: lordvader88 on February 03, 2017, 01:51:36 pm
Playing Star Wars:Empire AT WAR

The Empire suffers from over sized ships and land units, and the AI is bad but controableable

But it sure is fun to send in fleet, even the mid game 1 without Imperial Class Star Destroyers,

1 of the AT-AT walkers went on some random confused AI mission walking about, and then but killed the remaining Rebels, and so saved me time tracking them down.

The AI in this is very small tho, but so predictable, and moving ships and big land units ... adds difficulty

That game makes u slaughter people in space lifeboats if u want to finish the mission

Thats like the ocean here but worse, even the coldest ocean is a slower death than cold low mass/energy density of space

It was NOT blown up by the Rebels. It was actually caused by tin whiskers due to Pb free RoHS parts.

If all else fails, blame it on EOS!
