There's also a Star Wars total conversion for Total Annihilation. It was fairly well done in terms of artistry and animation, but I'm not sure about game balance.

SWTA looks good to me. I'm off to buy Total Annihiliation just so I can D/L this.. Beats any official RTS by the look of it.

GB should've been a mix between Force Commander (good command point system) and Empire Earth (good graphics, gameplay, and no screwed up camera like FC)

Force Commander's BEST idea was the command point sytle of "resource gathering". The more buildings you owned, the more points you got for allocating to new buildings, weapons & troops.
It was a good IDEA, but it certainly didn't work out very well. Gee, when I lose all my units to your attacking force, you get more points just to kill me even further?
To Riley Man you listen. You just need to work on improving your econ skills. More workers, and you'll do fine. The econ is the whole STRATEGY part of the game.

Like in a real battle, you mean? (not the "points system" as such, but the side taking tactical locations getting on top of the opposition).
Beats chopping down trees and killing animals to make new armoured transports.

Blame Westwood. They started the resource gathering. Admittedly, that was a game which actually suited it. Age of Empires suits it too. Galactic battlegrounds doesn't. I think there shouldn't be unit building, it's unrealistic to build armies on-site. Should maybe be a reinforcement system? You get reinforcements every so often based on the scenario. And you make do with the units you have apart from that. I mean some units will be able to heal or repair themselves at different rates, eg jedi heal quick, other troops need med officers. if the med officer dies, well you're screwed. Same with Repair techs/astromechs.

I agree. Good at tactics, but not resource management. I want to be a general, not a chancellor.

I hate this game. It has no feel like a star wars game at all. It does just feel like an add on to Age of Empires.
The AI is none existant. The game is flawed in so many ways.
