Ground Combat?

perhaps, we will see

Perhaps we will be able to actually maneuver the units. Holding the enemy front with heavy forces while flanking with lighter faster units would be an example. Or using air support to weaken strong points and destroy the enemy troop’s willingness to fight as another. It could also be nice if there was an option to have planetary campaigns lasting many turns, perhaps replacing the current method of parking troops on a planet to keep the peace. But I guess that would be asking a lot.

I would love to see "Star General" ground combat. And for those who don't want it, just have a let the computer "autoresolve" option similar to what we now have for space combat.

I loved Star Genral game series from SSI, and I think many aspects of this can be churned into SEV. Another great space/ground combo game was Emperor of the Fading suns, and it's great modding engine (even a rock like myself could mod it!). I'd like to see ground combat engine in SEV that can turn the tide or battle in close situations, rather than a dice toss. Victory is Space is no guarantee of victory on the ground, and from what I've seen of the screenshots, I'm satisfied.

Yes Emperor of teh Fading Suns was a game with great potential. Too bad it dropped out of sight. I loved the way they incorporated ground combat.

You can still et it online, but the game was buggy as heck, and that took alot of fun out of it! SEIV did alot of things better, but I'm hoping SEV really takes it up a notch, and gets a nice balance of space and ground action.

Anyone notice that there are mountains in the screenshot of Ground Combat? I wonder it Mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc, will have an effect on combat? Will this be modable outside the game? Opens up a lot of possibilites.
