Westwood Speaks

[Mahdi]

Westwood has been busy on the forums today with everything from the introduction of a new moderator (Devinoch-WS) to good news for me, Shiroko, and Davo. :)

Here are their posts:

Yes, these sites (Dune 2k.com, Dune EXtreme, AOE2.com, StarCraftLegacy.com, WarCraftIII.net, Red Alert 2 EXtreme) will all get copies of the game. Hehe no it's not a plan to get rid of these guys, we want opions about the product from dedicated gamers, people everyone here can relate to. =) - LINK

I would like to introduce Devinoch to everyone here in the Emperor community fourms. He will be taking care of watching the Emperor message boards and fan sites from this point forward. Devinoch will also be your point man on any game play or technical issues when Emperor is released. I will still be looming about but the majority of my focus will be on Red Alert 2 and Renegade. If you any questions, please feel free to post them here.

Greetings everyone!

I'm still getting my bearings, but I'm hitting the ground running and will be here if you need me. My thanks to Delphi for the slow and gradual handoff, and I look forward to seeing all of you out in the spice fields. - Devinoch - LINK

There aren't any plans for a Mac version at this time. - LINK

Let us get the game shipped first before we start thinking about expansion pack! - LINK

I've got some ideas up my sleeve, so keep your eyes here in the near future.

Still, let us get the game out first, huh? - LINK

Oh, sure, rushes will work -- if you don't have any base defenses.

Honestly, guys, I've been putting in some serious time with Emperor since I've gotten here and it's very difficult to rush against a reasonably skilled player. The key is mixing-and-matching units. The single unit-type rush won't serve you too well here. Believe me, I've defended against quite a few rushes and it's all about blending your units and positioning them in the right places. - LINK

If Devinoch see's this, welcome to the community! We hope you'll find that we are generally a good bunch of fans who won't flame you too badly, even if the game does turn out to be no good. :)

And I for one will be checking my mailbox daily from now on. :)

Update: Westwood moderators are posting as I type this, and probably won't stop until I have gone off-line for food, so I will post all new replies later on tonight. That is, unless Shiroko beats me to it. :)
