How detailed is ground combat? are we talkiing simple Imperium-Galatica2 point click and destroy with tank units(like the video suggests) or like a Wargame with great depth and hundreds of different units.

DirectX 7? Funny, Aaron told me in an email that SE5 is using DirectX 8... (I asked him about it because DirectX 7 doesn't seem to work properly with WINE...

)
edit: oh, and not a bad price point too - I was expecting something higher!

You design the units just like you do in SEIV. Except this time, the weapon stats actually matter.

All I can say about this video is WOW!

I cannot wait for this game to come out.

If any of you beta testers can say, are you still on target for a late 2005 release?

Info that has been posted on gaming sites is February 2006!

I'm really not too sure. There's definitely a lot of work left, but we've still got four and a half months before 2006, and a lot can happen in that amount of time. I think it depends quite a bit on how many good ideas we keep coming up with and how many of them get added to the game. Let's just say there's a reason the NDA specifically disavows any commitment whatsoever to any particular release date.

That's funny, I don't remember it being released six months ago.

You've been missing out man!

Thanks for the comments Douglas. I kind of figured I'd get a response similar to that. Ahh well, football season is here. That will keep me occupied until this is released.

Kwok, I can't believe I missed the big release. Why didn't anyone tell me?

There probably is no chance of getting a version of the video that has no frames taken out, is there? It was worth a shot of asking about anyways.

It shows how the times change.Once with a game like SE, it was all about the details of what's in the game.Now we have all this eye candy and little details of what's under the hood.I remember SE4 had a huge list pre-release of what's in the game.Nothing about SE5 on the MM website at all..
