What does RTS stand for? Real Time Strategy?

Yeah, that's what it stands for. And no, there aren't anymore then that. The only other strategy is Supremecy (AKA Rebellion) which is turn based and poo. And not in print anymore due to it's general pooness.

Star Wars RTS' (Real Time Strategies):

Star Wars: Rebellion
Star Wars: Force Commander
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns

That is all I believe.

But first what is Rebellion like is it like civil war general(non-SW) (if you have played it)

If you find a copy of Rebellion then it should be cheap enough for you to buy and try out. I wouldn't recommend it though, it's dated very badly and was a poor game to start out with. It's more of a "conquer each system in a vague way" rather then focusing on anything in particular. Even if you invest alot of time in it you'll find it a very unrewarding experience.

And the tactical part of it, when your fleet and an enemy fleet met, was atrocious. I usually just simulated the results because it was so boring and there really wasn't much I could do to affect the end results anyway.

Thanks now lets talk about hints, tips, and codes for these games but can still talk about Rebellion if you know anything about it.

Actually, IMO, Rebellion is one of the best Star Wars games I've played. Haven't got to Force Commander, but Galactic Battlegrounds is just an AOE mod.

Don't buy Force Commander it can never compare to GB in game play FC looks better but is harder to play and There is olny two civ. to pick from. GB has a lot GBCChas two more.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif Hey Darth Darthy how come you brits aren't allowed to have a game called Rebellion so it has to be called Supremacy? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif Are you people afraid it may lead to overthrowing the outdated and obsolete monarchy? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif lol. kidding. but seriously that's pretty nutty it has to be changed for the UK.

The Brits. have a vary different costumes then the US may be they don't want to remember that a rag-tag army beat them twice and save them in WW2 style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif LOL

Nah, there already was a game released here called Rebellion (on the BBC Micro I think) which for some reason still holds the copyright. Even though it's been out of print for over 15 years...

Oooooooooooo......... I though that you said that Lucas Arts was not printing Rebellion any more but there selling it on the web for 30 or 40 bucks!

Darth Darthy
04-24-2004, 01:07 PM
I imagine its that expensive because its out of print. It went to budget a long time ago and then just dissapeared. $40 for that?!? Would you pay $40 for a game that's worse then Force Commander and much older? I know I wouldn't.

I suppose you Mean 30-40 USD?

DAMN that's expensive. Because of how old it is I've seen it for 10 AUD (about 6 USD) in EB. but that was a LONG time ago. I personally got my copy courtesy of CCD style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif
