Re: Ground Combat?
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.

Re: Ground 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.

Re: Ground Combat?
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.

Re: 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.

Re: Ground Combat?
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.

Re: Ground Combat?
I don't think it's for ground combat. As the OP said, it looks more like a facility planning screen. If it were for ground combat, it would be very cool

If you take a good look at the screenshot and the minimap, you'll notice two green points: in my view these are the 2 turrets you seen on the main screen on each side of that big building. I believe these are probably defensive turrets. As the rest of the on the minimap is grey, it seems to me that only the militaristic building are active, thus that it is indeed the Ground Combat screen.
My two cents. |
