Irk? I see this trailer and think "Where the hell were these guys in the star wars mythos?" lol

 

[Cira]

Lol

 

[H3xle]

Anyone know if they've written more somewhere other than the website blurb?

 

[Cira]

I think only the people who play SWTOR constantly knew about this already.

Looks good, though it's not got me wanting to go out and drop $50-60 on the game and keep up a $15-20 a month subscription. ​

 

[Ra Vizsla]

....it looked awesome.

 

[Solariel Eldara]

That. Looks. So. Sexual.

 

[Jorin]

Dibs on the white one for character

If these guys aren't three characters each by morning, I will eat my hat.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Am I reading the story behind this right. In the Swtor have the Jedi and Sith fallen?

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Apparently this magical third faction beat them both in the war.

Well yeah they fought themselves to nothing.

 

[Zathra Fett]

I say it looks cool, but strange considering the one in black has the symbol of the Sith and the White one the symbol of the Republic. So they defeated the sith and the republic, how?? Defeated two super powers and no information? Still the white one looks sick with the cybernetic modifications and improvements.

Can we perhaps draw a parallel to the East Roman and Sassanid Empires in the 7th century who fought each other to exhaustion so that the 3rd empire, the Islamic Caliphate, could overwhelm them both?

 

[Darth Kentarch]

[member="Valiens Nantaris"], that could be a good analogy. Its like in Europa Universalis 4 which tracks how many active men you have to fight with and manpower reserves your whole nation has. Even if a giant empire is broke and zero or near zero manpower its not difficult for a small nation to overtake them. The same can be said for two empires. Once I played as Hungary and crushed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Empire, who had been fighting for decades, in a single war. It was not so much strategic genius as it was they fought themselves into nothing. So my smaller force just occupied their capitals and provinces with no resistance.

Ooh, an EU4 player.

Have you seen the latest DLC, Common Sense?

That makes more sense, yeah.

I give it 11 out of 10. Mostly because Hungary got a buff thanks to the new development system. Likewise you can give them a western focus without falling behind if you occupy Wien (Vienna), Prague, or Danzig. Given that Hungary borders Wien you can use Mátyás Hunyadi or János Hunyadi's awesome stats to beat the Austrians early and take the city.

Aside from that I like the improvements. Its a more historically accurate map. The development feature also helps if you have a nation with dirt poor provinces. And thanks to money and monarch points being changed in with building construction, I find managing my cash flow and monarch ability is a lot better.
