Guard should be interpreted as "Defend position and chase attackers until a certain range". Instead I give move commands to individual ships to get the optimal formation.īeing the old game it is, there is no hold position command in Empire at War. There is no proper formation option coded into the game and while holding the right mouse button can theoretically create formations/reorient the fleet due to pathfinding this A takes ages and B results in suboptimal formations. Regarding 1, I click the right and left mouse button at the same time and by moving the mouse you can change the camera angle.
There’s might be other things I wanna ask but I can’t think of them atm but any other advice would be soundly received. In the vanilla game, placing a tartan (for the empire) in the way would basically take out most of the fighters but it seemingly did nothing when I tried.
Star wars empire at war remake how to#
How to defend against a fighter swarm? I often found enemy fighters just horde over a ship and bombers will follow them up and I seemingly have no way of stopping it.
I tried guard mode as typically in something like total war, guard mode means ‘hold current position and defend’ but it didn’t appear to stop this How do I stop my units from charging into enemies? I’ll set up my ships and fighters in a way that I like, but then if the enemy spots a unit, or my unit spots them, they just automatically make a b-line for the enemy and charge into the swarm of fighters or ships and abandon their formation with my other ships. Is there a formation option for units? Typically in most RTS games like total war, if you select a group of units and hold down right click then drag your mouse it automatically creates a formation for them to move into and I was wondering if this remake has anything like that. Zooming in didn’t really help much either Feels like it needs to be angled differently like in the vanilla version. Is it possible to change the camera angle in combat? Mine is seemingly set to a birds eye view by default and is far from the action. I liked it so much that seeing a remake for the game over 15 years later that offers more in depth campaigns, battles and graphics was too good to miss…however I tried a few space battles and I got trounced every time by the AI.įrom what I remember, space battles typically went the same way (for me anyway) you have main bulk of heavy cruisers, then a few tartan patrol cruisers to take out fighters and then use bombers to punch through shields and keep them behind your fleet…however in doing that this time I got obliterated by a swarm of fighters and bombers and I lost like 10/15 ships and only destroyed one of theirs, so I was curious to know a few things. Hi, I’m a former player of the original vanilla Star Wars: Empire at War (2006)Īnd I played the heck out of the singleplayer campaign.
