Take command of the greatest Star Wars™ battles!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, an RTS classic depicting major conflicts of the Star Wars™ films, is available for the first time in digital distribution on GOG.com!

Released in 2001, <i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds was the first Star Wars™ RTS to find success among critics and fans alike. The game's basic formula was a recipe for success. It employed tried and tested gameplay mechanics inspired by the critically acclaimed Age of Empires series (Star Wars™ Galactic Battlegrounds was developed on the very same engine, which contributed to its overall familiar feel), and brought them straight into the realm of Star Wars™, offering fans a brand new way to influence the major conflicts depicted in Star Wars™ films.

The package available here includes the Clone Campaigns expansion pack, which introduced a whole new campaign covering the start of the Clone Wars, with two extra playable factions (CIS and Galactic Republic) and a slew of additional units. In total, Star Wars™ Galactic Battlegrounds Saga includes an impressive eight playable factions, each with its own story-filled single player campaign.

Take direct command of the greatest movie battles in <i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, DRM-free on Windows - for the first time in digital distribution - on GOG.com!

Wan't to see the game in action? Here's <i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga wit &lt;hb&gt;Quill18</span> in the Twitch.tv/GOGcom archive.

That this game is not called Age of Galactic Empires is such a missed opportunity! :P

Anyway, I wish I had played more of this back in the day, but since I never owned it... maybe in the future. :)

So its basically Age of Empires, but Star Wars themed? PASS!

Edit: WAIT! I was thinking of Age of Wonders... so is this more like C&C / other era relevant RTS?

Fool.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

tinyE: Oh why yes, I am single? How did you guess that? :P
You have to, because you would not have so much free time to play all these superb games!
No problem with being single, I am too ...

Yes, it's quite literally Age of Empires 2 with different music, units and campaigns from what I've seen. And there seem to be flying units.

Yeah you get X Wings, Tie Fighters, Naboo Fighters, and some "special flyers" for each race which are more or less Nuclear Bombers.

Sigh... people, the game is supported by Gameranger. Stop writing moronic user reviews about multiplayer not working.

Frankly - I was hoping it won't happen. Galactic Battlegrounds is just not a good RTS. It's not terrible but terribly lackluster and nowhere near the amazing quality of the original Age of Empire series. Empire at War should have been released here instead (though this may happen, too).

Great news! Obligatory reference to the community http://swgb.heavengames.com/ if you are looking for mods and/or more single player campaigns and scenarios!

edit: heck there's even this scenario available there made by some TNG dude

Never played this one before, but the video I found of Vader wrecking fools in an RTS has me sold on this one.
