I'm watching that one already.

I have to wait six more days, though, because I am a sniper.

Bounty hunters are specifically made to take out sith/jedi. They needed SOME way to stop them. A Jedi can take out an army of troopers, if there wasn't some balance jedi teams would be insanely op'd.

I understand the logic, it just seems odd. It forces you to keep your army balanced, though. The Bounty Hunter is the equivalent of Stratego's Spy.

Cheap enough? :-p (Only 14 bux)

That one is from an Australian Seller. I have had problems in the past with international sellers/buyers on eBay, so that would be my last choice.

Ah, that stinks. I bought mine from AU and it works fine.

How long did it take to ship? Do you still have the seller's ID? Does the box have an official UPC label with a LucasArts copyright?

Basically, other countries have varying laws about copyright. I have bought things that ended up being illegal copies (in the US). I also have had problems with sellers disappearing after taking my money and international laws won't cover it. PayPal was supposed to protect me, but they didn't.

About a week or two, which coming from AU isn't surprising. Ill check with my mom (I'm not allowed my own ebay account for obvious reasons. I'm a spendaholic) It appears to have all the right labels but im not 100% sure. I'm not good at telling a fake upc from a real one.

I'll take your word for it, then. Silly me, I forgot that I would need two discs in order to play against my son.

The most recent eBay auctions from US sellers ended well over $20. I guess I can take a chance on the AU seller since I can get two for under $25 and they are brand new and sealed.

Thanks for all the info! I would not have found this game without you bringing it up, and my son already loves the demo.

If anyone isw buying one I would trade for an extra

Actually no you don't. once you install it you can play multiplayer without discs on anyone connecting. The host computer does need a disc.
No problem

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #34 on:** January 30, 2009, 09:39:42 PM »

I received the discs from Australia today. That only took a week. The discs are indeed official. Thanks for the tip, since that saved me a bunch of money.

I was the Galactic Empire and my son was the Trade Federation. We had a computer player use the Gungans, who were surprisingly stronger than they were in the movie

). I love the upgrades in the full version. My Imperial Walkers were huge! After playing Age of Empires all this time, seeing a single unit that took up half the screen was quite entertaining. However, the AirShips were the most potent unit overall. Unfortunately they destroy everything in range of their intense firepower. I lost more units to friendly fire than to enemy fire.

BTW, an AirShip can kill Sith/Jedi Masters with just a few hits.

What's the deal with native colonies? Do they do anything? I was on Tatooine and I kept finding Jawa and Sandpeople settlements. Am I supposed to do something with them?

You guys also forgot to mention the random monsters. I know AoE had wolves, but having my Biker Scout get eaten by the tentacled pit that ate Boba Fett was a bit of a shocker.

Gungans are really powerful, mostly because jar jar isn't there

Yes it can, thats why I walk around with a batallion (30) of fully upgraded anti air troopers.

XD ah the sarlac pit, i have no idea about natives outside of story mode.

The story mode in that game is epic fail.... im sorry but some one had to say it

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #37 on:** February 01, 2009, 09:23:21 PM »

Idk, I like it then again, I just like playing the game. The story line is fail, the mode isnt too bad though.

ACe · « **Reply #38 on:** February 01, 2009, 09:35:21 PM »

I was excited to see empire at war, until i played it. i stopped playing and started playing GBG again. I wish they would make a new one.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #39 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:15:25 PM »

Is it that bad?

ACe · « **Reply #40 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:18:32 PM »

its ok but instead of endless units they are like in squads or something like that. the airships actually have their own battle times, you can send a fleet of ships to kill a character. there are space battles and planet battles. what i would like to see is AvP rts like AoE

The Schaef · « **Reply #41 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:49:51 PM »

In case anyone's still thinking about playing this game, I just reinstalled it today.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #42 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:52:00 PM »

has anyone else used Hamachi to connect to others? Mine seems to hate me...

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #43 on:** February 23, 2009, 03:37:22 PM »

SSBB on the Wii is the only game I have played online. What would I have to do to start an online game of SWBG with you guys?

My mom is visiting from NH, so I would not be able to play until next week if we do figure it out. I could probably do an abbreviated game just to test the connection.

The Schaef · « **Reply #44 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:01:22 PM »

GameSpy Arcade supports online multi for Galactic Battlegrounds.

Question: how many of you also have the Clone Campaigns expansion?

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #45 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:31:43 PM »

I do, TSW does,

www.gamespy.com?

The Schaef · « **Reply #46 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:55:32 PM »

try gamespyarcade.com. I think you have to set up an account or whatever but SWBG is on the list of supported games.

Once upon a time, it was hosted by Zone but that's long dead.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #47 on:** February 23, 2009, 06:44:31 PM »

I have Clone Campaigns, also.

Let me know a time that we can test the connection. Like I said, I won't be able to play a full game, but at least we can get things ready for later.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #48 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:07:03 PM »

I downloaded GameSpy. My username is RedemptionWarrior. Let me know when y'all are ready to test a connection.
