Ran for RtF with full cheats and on easy. Fast and simple, has an acceptable story, really a 3.5

I had real problems with the last mission, as after I disabled the target shuttle, my wingman would take it out--failing the mission as a result. I had to explicitly spam SHIFT+I in order to finally end the mission successfully.

Not ultra terrible, but not a good battle either. Do not fly if you do not need to.

Average set of missions, with some variety in objectives and clear primary goals. See bugs for the minor issue I had with Mission 5 however.

Some aspects of this are great, some are downright poor and some aspects (like the reload craft) are a guilty pleasure. All-in-all, there is a storyline, albeit plagiarizing from the original TIE Fighter battles and doing so poorly. And the way some of the missions were crafted, just shouts no testing. My score has been fluctuating between 2 and 4, so it gets a 3, barely.

Good missions in the style of the old classics. It was fun and fairly quick to complete with no bugs or major issues to get in the way.

I liked this mission for the use of Zaarin and Thrawn and another guy we all know. Its pretty cool, but very easy to complete if you are looking to get some quick RTF points. Would recommend for everyone.

I'd put this one in the middle of the pack. It's clearly one of the earlier battles built for the EH and does resemble a few of the original battles that shipped with the game. Some of the earlier missions such as the destroy the containers mission are incredibly simplistic whereas the final missions does take significantly more effort to dogfight T/A. That said you never feel like you are in danger.

This one's a little silly. It never feels like there's a serious threat going on, it's mostly just a turkey shoot. Also in the last mission your allies are pretty likely to kill Thrawn when you're trying to disable his ship, how rude.

I played on Medium. A lot of the reviews state that this is a copy of original TIE missions and cite that as the reason for their low score. I haven't played the original missions and have no attachment to them. That said, these missions aren't very good. Missions 1 and 2 are the worst offenders, by far. Mission 1 has you kill 8 shieldless containers and I finished the mission in 50 seconds. The rest of the missions vary between 'mostly forgettable' to 'bad'. I've played worse missions but this one isn't very good.

Not great. Uninspired and I feel like even for the time the dev could have done more with the story and enemy ships to make the game more immersive. Maybe have traitor ships jump in halfway through the capture operation in mission 5...

I like how, in re-labeling the names, they couldn't even get that consistent, alternating between Thrawn and Ronin. Not too much to add from other reviews - it's pretty much a carbon copy of the existing stock missions, with nothing really new or interesting added. I'd use it for RtF spam, but if I was trying to fly it for real with full effort? No thanks.

Well... TIE TC 9. What could we say? let's do it step by step, shall we? Technically, it was flyable, it had decent moments tho you weren't really at risk of losing the mission save for a rare glitch at last mission where your wingmen tried to bring down the E/S ' shields when you already did so, ending on its destruction. Now, there are some messages that doesn't fit, some others have typos here and there. While I understand one could be inspired on original TG missions, we'd have at least try to make our innovations mingle well with the original structure and make it flawlessly so it becomes an enjoyable experience, even more for the mature player. As for the storyline, it doesn't make sense, even for science fiction: Zaarin did not manage to get MIS, The Glory was destroyed shortly before Zaarin died, and Vader was somewhere else busy betraying the Emperor. Also, Zaarin would never turn to the rebels- possibly a second in command would do so in a desperate turn of events but certainly not Zaarin...so its unlikely he'd have left orders to do so. Anyways 1/5 for being flyable, quick FCHG points. Briefing, messages, events needs work and the story should be redone as well.

Unfortunately, this battle is in essence a poor copy of an original (Battle 7) from the TIE Fighter game. While it is rapid to complete and would be an ideal FCHG bump for a new pilot, it offers very little challenge and suffers from a number of minor issues and flaws. In short, the original battle did not need to be copied so obviously, if it was simply the concept being applied differently I would be happy enough, but it's effectively just an imitation. Disappointing to fly, thankfully not for long.

While flying through the first mission, the messages were familiar and I thought it was a nice homage to the original. The mission layout was different enough that it hadn't yet occurred to me what was going on. By the second mission it was clear that these missions were lifted directly from Battle 7. Part of me hoped it would go in a different direction, but by the third mission it was clear yet again that wasn't the case. The fourth mission had an interesting twist fighting against missile boats instead of gunboats, but beyond that there wasn't much appeal to this battle. If only that spark of creativity had been used to to make more thoughtful changes, it might have been a more entertaining overall. Obviously the core mission design isn't that bad, considering who originally designed it. But all I could think about while flying the rest of the battle was how it seemed to be a lazy effort, and just wanted to get it over with. The quality of the briefings, officer questions, and gameplay just seemed to be slightly worse than the originals. So after submitting the BSF I stormed directly to the review page to see who made this thing. Oh. Wasn't expecting that...

I thought plagiarism was a no-no? I guess I was wrong. It was nice to fly Battle 7 again, but not under the guise of a completely original battle.

The ultimate déjà vu! Most of what can be said about this battle has already been mentioned. My American Culture teacher gave 0 to some friends of mine on a final work for doing this in the last year of college and I won't be any different with a custom battle.

I'd love to give this a higher score, but based on the fact that it was a copy of a LucasArts battle from the original TIE Fighter game, and due to a number of slip-ups in terms of plot (switching GA Ronin and Thrawn around, for example), I have to give it a zero. I just can't condone any sort of copyright theft.

When I was a young pilot, this was the first EH battle I ever played. I remember IM'ing GA Ronin telling him how great the EH was but "I played Battle 9 and I was very, very disappointed because the author just took the original missions and renamed and changed the ships and stuff." After I said that, I was looking through the newsletter at the same time to see who the author was and realized it was Ronin himself. Whoops. He joked "You're not going to get very far in this club if you insult the leader's missions! ;)" Many apologies followed. :P ...but I still have to give it a low rating because it was a conversion of the original missions. Our GA's a good story writer, not a battle designer.

I give it a 0 because it is just a copy of battle 7 in TIE Fighter. If I wanted to fly the orginal battles, then I would fly them in the game, and not download them from the EH.

I'll also give a 0 rating because it's not more than a copy. The Emperor is simply replaced by GA Ronin. I only wanted to add that there's a little mistake in the last debriefing: "You saved GA Ronin!" That's wrong because GA Thrawn was saved and GA Ronin assisted in the operation...:P

Bah, the battle is great. Of course, that's because it was created by the folks at LucasArts. Good old Ronin just renamed the ships. So, it's a zero for illegal copying :P

2024-12-16
M/CRV Foxtrot in M5 has an error in its orders of "or" instead of "and" in order 1
2022-12-04
Mission 5 - weird bug which happened on my first play through - the 'correct' shuttle had been disabled and boarded but it wasn't completed the 'must be boarded' primary goal, and the game wouldn't successfully complete. I had disabled all the shuttles in the group, so maybe this was why, rather than just the correct one, so maybe that was why - next play through, just disabled the one shuttle, destroyed the others, and mission completed quickly.

Emperor's Hammer Battle Center - http://battles.tiecorps.org ------------------------------------------------------------ Modified by Project Phoenix (Oct 23, 1999) - bug corrected on Mission 3 (crash if INT Harpax II) by CA:TAC/VA Striker/CA-3/SSSD Sov (EH_Striker@mail.com) Following bugs were corrected : - Mission #2 ISD's Avenger orders changed - Mission #5 ES Foxtrot removed from target list of all Imp. fighters
The Wing Commander, Admiral Ronin (WC/Ronin/Alpha-1/T-D) herein releases the ninth approved Battle for the Emperor's Hammer including all missions, to be entitled Tracking the Defectors. The main objective of the attached 5 mission Battle is to track down and confront various elements of the Rebel Alliance, including the Iron Hand, the Rouge Imperials (Zaarin's Defectors) and the Divine Wind. Members are also directed to the Officer's Deck Section of this Newsletter for brief historical information. As detailed therein, the ISD Avenger Fleet is pursuing the Defectors based on information obtained during the interrogation of General Jacobin, Eye of the Divine Wind. The Wing Commander hopes all Members will enjoy playing these missions... Mission 1 (hmrb9m1.tie) This mission presents a fierce battle with MANY Rebel Alliance and Iron Hand fighters. The mission is staged in an attack on an Alliance Bulk Storage facility. The SSD Executor and the ISD Avenger are in the area and launch their fighters to attack the Cargo Ferries and Containers. However, the Light Mon Calamari Cruiser MCL Hilalea and the MCS Waverider are also present to attempt to thwart the Imperial attack...Your Primary Goals include destruction of the Rebel Cargo vessels and survival of the Imperial Capital Ships. Elements of Reaper Squadron (Executor Wing) on board the SSD Executor stand by as reinforcements... Finally, be advised that, if the situation becomes desperate, the Rebels may make a suicide run on the ISD or SSD with one of the Mon Cal Cruisers! Good luck, you'll need it... Mission 2 (hmrb9m2.tie) The second mission presents the new INT Harpax II being ambushed by a Rebel Light Mon Calamari Cruiser (WarPrince), an Imperial Defector ISD (Mentor) and an Imperial Defector FRG (Avalon) as well as PLENTY of Rebel and defecting Imperial Fighters...The player will be flying as Iota-2, a TIE Advanced with Iota Escort Squadron, against this impressive Rebel assault on the INT Harpax II...You must hold off the attack long enough for the ISD Avenger to arrive and relieve us... Mission 3 (hmrb9m3.tie) This mission again has the INT Harpax II on the run from the Rouge Imperials. The Harpax II is fleeing from the MCL WarPrince and the VSD Plunderer (Rouge Imperial Defectors). The player is in Mu-1, a TIE Advanced unit stationed with the FRG Imperator, located out of the system. Upon your arrival, you must immediately proceed to take out the CRL WarPrince and VSD Plunderer. In addition, elements of the Divine Wind, arriving in several Assault Transports, must also be quickly destroyed before they attack the Harpax II...The ISD Avenger is also present and will aid with the launching of TIE Bomber Flights from Epsilon-3 and Lambda-3...The INT Harpax II must be protected at all costs... Mission 4 (hmrb9m4.tie) In the fourth mission, the player, flying a TIE Defender in Delta-1, must protect Lord Vader (flying in Delta-5) arriving in-system to personally inspect upgrades on the recently transferred FRG Imperator. Much to the Imperial's surprise, the Rouge Imperials have discovered that Lord Vader would only be escorted by one Flight of 4 TIE Defenders. Consequently, they immediately dispatched the Strike Cruiser Excelsior with her new complement of Missile Boats and advanced ordinance including Advanced Missiles to take advantage of this unique opportunity! The player must successfully keep the Missile Boats and Assault Gunboats of the Rouge Imperials (Zaarin's forces) at bay long enough for Lord Vader to board the FRG Imperator. The player must then destroy all Rebel fighters and the STRKC Excelsior to complete the Secondary and Bonus Goals. Mission 5 (hmrb9m5.tie) The final mission of this Battle places the player in a rescue mission. Divine Wind Troopers have captured the ISD Majestic and have quickly spirited Grand Admiral Thrawn off in an unidentified Escort Shuttle. You must inspect the shuttles to find Thrawn and help disable the Divine Wind Shuttle carrying him away. In addition, you must fend off Iron Hand TIE Advanced fighters stationed on the ISD Glory, Admiral Zaarin's flagship...
