this is what i founn out about land battles on the new expansion
Land battles have also been improved from the core game. For one, they're larger than those in Empire at War. More importantly, there's a new strategic layer that gives you more control. You will be able to zoom down to the planet's surface and place where your buildings and troops are stationed. This means that you can identify the reinforcement points and then move your buildings away from them, while putting your defenses and troops in between. You won't be able to place things anywhere on the map, as you must use one of the existing placement points, but this feature gives you a lot more tactical flexibility as to how you lay out your base.
Space battles will benefit from the addition of a number of new craft. There are B-Wings for the Rebels, the Super Star Destroyer for the Imperials, and more. And if you thought the Super Star Destroyer was big, wait till you see the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer, which is larger and more powerful than anything else in the game. This part of the game is currently being balanced, but it sounds like you're going to have plenty of new toys to play with. All of this new content looks good, but the new gameplay features have us equally interested in getting our hands on the expansion. Development is progressing, according to Storc, and we should see Forces of Corruption ship this fall.
