Status of Emperor

[hilamobster13]

I agree with mr.edric.  you guys need to shut up.

[quoudam72]

I'll agree with Edric Emperor is dead on-line but playing on a LAN is still good and quite frankly better.

[Virtugon]

I think that WW brought renegade to fast after emperor on the market. That's why Emperor is falling in the shadow now.   >:(

[Guest atreides rock]

agreed with the boring backgrounds complaint. all the environments suck because they are the same, look at earth 2150 or dark reign 2 for a wicked environment to fight in. its a shame really, because the worms/sandstorms etc rock.

the whole game rocks except for the fact that the backgrounds are boring and the AI is weeeeeak. piss-weak.

no RTS game has given decent AI ever. promises are empty. games are rushed to market looking pretty, with shit AI. keep them inhouse for a couple more months and they would have tuff tuff AI.

emp is one of the most balanced games unit-wise. you are forced to make all typed to support each other. damn shame about repetition of backgrounds and weak AI.

did i mention weak AI?

[Virtugon]

yes u did, and that's why online gaming is FUN

'cause there is no A.I. just a human mind

[nemafakei]

Unfortunately, the gfx and things slows it down online, so it balances out, unless you have a good connection (which I haven't, being in rural England).

[Virtugon]

I have a cable connection, and I mostly play games in Europe 'cause they are close to home :-)

[nemafakei]

I've got a terribly slow connection due to the fact that I am in a 'Rural area' - and so low priority for BT. Damn them all.

[exatreide]

Whats Emperor?

[nemafakei]

Quite.

[Guest Tirinal]

Sry if this is old news, but I haven't been around for a while. Does anyone know if they are making an expasion to Emperor. Thanks! (And if I get any flames about being a newbie, I'll bite your head off :])

[Edric O]

You're kidding, right? Of course they won't make an x-pack... they already seem to have forgotten that this game even exists... :'(

[nemafakei]

All that we have are mods.

[evilbaronatreides]

and thats sort of what Emperor needs; a strong mod community to rebuild gamer confidence...wait a sec, thats the US Economy, no wait...it could work with Emperor....or would it.....i just confused myself

LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! EMPEROR NEVER DIE!!!!!!!

[nemafakei]

And for good mods, we need lots of feedback and ideas. This is a subtle HINT.

[evilbaronatreides]

wait who does mods around here? i know alphabeta does...

[thomas]

I think a mod that thelaxu have face dancers would be cool.

[evilbaronatreides]

that would be interesting. they would be like spys from RA2, and only at point blank could they be noticed or by scouts. And Bene Gessiret "witches" would be spiffy. They could use the Voice to contol infantry.

[thomas]

yeah, the face dancers whould look like standered infantry and only could be seen by scouts.

[evilbaronatreides]

and make the saboteur slightly more powerful. and boost stats for Hark when they build their palace

[Naub_dib]

i agree

[Koen_van_de_Sande]

Emperor module beta 2 is coming... after 5 months :)

[fthg42]

and make the sonic tanks much more devastating, making it truly controversial...and other such things

[nemafakei]

I can do all of these things for Shifting Sands (a Dune TS mod). I've done most.

[evilbaronatreides]

well have you made a mod and posted it? *looks with anticipation*
