LucasArts and Petroglyph today announced the immediate availability of a Map Editor and Update 1.04 for Star Wars: Empire at War, the award-winning real-time strategy game and the #1 PC title in February/March 2006. Now players have even more control in their bid to dominate the galaxy, with the ability to create both custom battle grounds and unique units to fight in their armies.
Vanaf vandaag is het voor bezitters van Star Wars: Empire at War mogelijk om met de vrijgegeven mapeditor eigen speelomgevingen te creëren. Men heeft alle mogelijkheden die in al de game verwerkt zijn beschikbaar voor het maken van eigen maps.
Voordat geïnteresseerden de editor daadwerkelijk kunnen gebruiken is het nodig om de nieuwste update (1.04) binnen te halen. De mapeditor is te downloaden via FilePlanet
Update 1.04 not only enables the optional Map Editor download and the use of custom maps, but also adds support for auto-downloading of maps. Players who need to download a custom map to play a particular multiplayer game will do so automatically when joining that game. In addition, Update 1.04 implements numerous balance changes for both Rebel and Imperial units, and also corrects several issues, most notably one where capital ships would be invisible during space combat. Update 1.04 is available at http://support.lucasarts.com/patches/EAW1_4.htm
