ARE YOU
THE FLEETS
Do you quickly build a fleet of TIE fighters and swarm the enemy before they gain strength? Or take time and build a more powerful fleet of Star Destroyers?
THE ELEMENTS
Do you wait until after the ice storm and lose the element of surprise? Or do you take advantage of low visibility and attack when they least expect it?
THE ARMIES
Do you crush bases under the feet of AT-ATs and risk losing a few? Or do you call down ships from space and bomb them back to the Stone Age?
Will you repeat Star Wars history or change it forever? Play Star Wars : Empire at War and test your strategic mettle in an epic fight to control the entire Star Wars galaxy. As the Ultimate Galactic Commander, jump right into battle without wasting time on tedious resource gathering. Lead the Rebel Alliance in a quest to overthrow the Empire. Or choose the dark side, and use Darth Vader and the Death Star to crush the Rebellion. Either way, every soldier, battalion and fleet are yours to control. Make Star Wars history.

READY?
THE WEAPON
Do you protect the Death Star and reveal it at a critical moment? Or do you break out your big gun first and use Rebel planets for target practice?
THE CREATURES
Do you attack head-on and risk massive casualties? Or flank the enemy, circle around and hope any rancors you meet along the way arent hungry?
THE TROOPS
Do you use guerilla tactics, conser ve resources and slowly pick off enemy forces? Or do you go for broke and overwhelm the enemy with a sea of troops?
