I didn’t know that! Just googled and was slightly disappointed - that looks just like AoE with the sprites swapped out, down to the same trees. Well. Still interesting to know this happened!


I've played this game and never played aoe2. As I understand it, aoe2 has no aircraft while swgb has classic star wars ships (x wing, y wing, tie fighter, etc).

If you like star wars and aoe2, I'd recommend it. Goes on sale for like 2 bucks on gog


aoe2 takes place in the middle ages so indeed has no aircraft


It does, however, have an AC Cobra[1] that comes equipped with gatling guns in its headlights.
