I'm liking space battles, but most of these land battles are crap. I ran into twelve of those with four AT-ATs and within twenty seconds, Colonel Veers and his men were dead! Unfortunately, for planetary battles it seems the same for me, but the factories keep churning out those awful death-artillery pieces. I have a mod on that allows 'epic battles' by increasing the unit limit. Does anyone else find the game speed just too fast? I know you can turn down the game speed, but that hardly seems to do anything anyway. I barely get time to send an attack order before bullets are flying everywhere and half my troops are dead or the enemy is. I play a lot of FPS' and can react quickly, but in EaW, everything just seems to flash past me. Now I'm no slow coach when it comes to gaming. It was like in the tutorial, I selected to attack the shield generator, and by the time I had destroyed that, before I got a click off for another section it had been destroyed. Then I had a space battle, and while I vastly outnumbered my enemy, I literally moved them forward and my few ships had decimated the enemy, without me doing anything.

And soon, after sending Darth Vader to capture a build point, i'd lost everything except Darth Vader and The Emperor. Sent down some troops, and within less than a minute of attacking a pirate position, half my troops had died.

I was playing today, on medium, as the Empire, assaulting a Pirate planet. Unfortunately, the ridiculously fast paced combat for me, is a real turn off for the game. I really enjoy RTS' and the combat aspect of this is really the RTS part with the galactic conquest being a second game almost. Now, what interest's me most about the game is galactic conquest mode which I quite enjoy, until that is, I get to the combat aspects. OK, so I've finally got round to installing EaW and playing the game.
