I contacted, one of the original artists for SWGB, Battle For Naboo, Jedi Power Battles, Bounty Hunter, and Republic Commando. He allowed us to use various pieces of the early rendered art that he worked on. How to run a mile for beginners. Many of them were not used in the final game, such as the Academy (which I believe was originally the Monument) and that nifty-looking Spaceport pictured above.

Contents Expansion PackStar Wars Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns was released on May 14, 2002. The Expansion Pack for Galactic Battlegrounds came with two new campaigns to play:,.
Your post asked how to get it working correctly I simply linked you to a resource with a bunch of solutions that might work.You do not specify what you tried.You do not specify what your issue is.You do not specify what your specs are for your computer. (OS etc).How is anyone supposed to help you without this information? No one would know if what your tried or even what your exact problem is.
That's why I linked that website because it has never failed at solving a problem I've had with older games, including the one we are discussing, because it has a compiled list of nearly every solution to a problem as well as extra links to support articles involving the game.The Steam version and GoG version are probably exactly the same, same with all the other Star Wars games and recently added classic games on Steam. Developers/publishers usually add the most updated recent one, because they have a higher chance at working with recent OS's. SW:GB has had this issue ever since it was added to GoG, it has the same issue as the new Steam version.
The reason some people may not be having success, is because there is a few different solutions to try depending on what OS you have. I looked at that thread and could not find a single person saying what they have tried outside of the launching from C drive fix, which also does not work for me. I just tried the Steam version and was having the same issue that I had with the GoG version. The two patches listed under essential improvements worked for me just now.There's also another solution also listed in that link. It's an issue involving direct draw that you can find the solution to.All of this could be found by reading the link I linked you. But instead you were incredibly rude.
I hope you get the game working. The Steam version and GoG version are exactly the same,Citation needed.You can write all you want to now, but the fact of the matter remains that your original comment was supremely unhelpful. It was just a generic link to the wiki as if I hadn't already looked there.The kind of information I was looking for would be more like 'this worked for the steam version.' Sorry I don't have the same time you have to fiddlefart around and fuck around with games for an hour. I don't have time to check every solution on that page, and the link you sent me was clearly about the GOG version. I literally just told you that the patches worked for the Steam version.Yes.
Your later posts were helpful. A link to a wiki of unfamiliar information is not.
I don't have familiarity with AOE:II patches. There's no way I would see that wiki and think 'huh, I need to go fix my draw distance as it says on some AOEII fanpage'Nor would I know that 'essential improvements' or whatever it says are required to even run the game instead of the kind of quality of life improvements many games have under that same name.
To be blunt, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is basically Age of Kings with Star Wars units. You have the option of playing as one of six factions from the movies: the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Empire, the Wookies, the Gungans, the Trade Federation, or the citizens of Naboo, each of which comes with its own set of buildings and units akin to Age of King’s civilizations.
In fact almost everything in this game is akin to Age of Empires II, from the interface, resources, main menu, gameplay and research model, which isn’t necessarily a terrible thing.Building up feels the same as well, though of course you first have to learn what each particular building is for. You spend a good five to ten minutes hyper-organizing the orderly, continuous influx of four resources—food, carbon (wood), bright green nova crystals (gold), and purple ore (stone). Food is still the mainstay. You hunt and fish and build farms exactly as you did in the parent game, all by hand (Gungans and Wookies apparently have similar diets).You eventually produce Jedi Masters in the same humble fashion.
Among the additions are structures called power cores, which function a bit like Protoss pylons. Without one nearby, most of your structures perform at 25% efficiency. You can also make shield generators that protect any structures and units within its nimbus; the Gungans enjoy the benefit of a mobile generator like that in Episode I, although the one in the game is carried on the back of a skittish dinosaur that will frequently move out of position unless ordered to stand ground. Star Wars fans who have never played Age of Kings will probably find the translated concepts of evolving “tech levels” and building a monument that will bring you instant victory if it stands for 200 days (yes, days—the Star Wars universe is fast-paced) more interesting and inventive than Age of Kings veterans will, though they may be puzzled by how fragile the air units are or by why so much of the terrain looks earthly and pastoral.
The graphics are rather retro for a 2D Star Wars game, and the art doesn’t quite live up to Ensemble standards.Sometimes the fusion of styles actually works. Imperial walkers look right at home cresting Kashyyk’s verdant hills and the pink bulbous Gungan structures and ornate cannons stand out as genuinely exotic (the Empire’s buildings, by contrast, are difficult to distinguish). The sound effects, especially the plethora of agonized metallic warblings, are all spot on.But the balancing had to go into overdrive, and so all factions – even the Wookies – are able to train Jedi Knights and Masters. Like priests, these units fight and convert enemy units to your color, but they also seem to crumble just as fast as upgraded regular infantry, especially when confronted with their specially designed counterunit – the bounty hunter. And to my disappointment, their flickering lightsabers never even deflect bolts of incoming blaster fire. Air units are similarly less powerful than you might expect.The AI doesn’t appear to have been imported intact.
