Space Empire 4 Vs Star War Rebellions

capnq · #1 August 5th, 2001, 04:15 AM

For me, Star Wars: Rebellion had one fatal flaw, and that was "real-time". Even at the slowest play setting, I couldn't keep up with all the events. I got so frustrated with it that I never finished the first non-tutorial game I played.

Rebellion also had the largest swap file requirement (150M free on the HD) of anything I've ever installed, by almost a factor of 2.

not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

For me one of the thing that is better in Rebellion is:
For espionage/sabotage/civilian turmoil, you need to send special troops/personages to the specified planet.Also, they can be caught.

In SEIV, you can't even select the planet you want to attack with inteligence forces.

Actually you can, but you have to have seen the planet (ie visited the system or seen it through partnership) before you can target it specifically. (Since I so rarely use this tactic, someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

One thing that Rebellion did that I really wish SEIV could do is Planet invade. Right now, the AI, even when set up to CAPTURE a planet, still glasses it instead of capturing it.

basically, we are the only center for RebED (Rebellion Editor) and its cards

the community has been sorta down, and talks of Rebellion 2 has kept it alive.

Just explore around the site, but many links to other sites are down. It's hard to keep track these days.
