saberhagen Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Just curious as to what you all think (and wanted a new thread about the actual game rather than about some new game that you've made up). It's an open ended question and depends on your definitions of "player" and "on this forum". I decided not to do it as a poll as the format is too restrictive, and I would have had to make an initial judgement to narrow it down to 10, which I'm not really qualified to make. I'll have to vote for Skythe as he's the only person I've played who has actually posted here. Although Mega is probably better I only have his reputation to go on (I'm not worthy to play him on the zone and wasn't unlucky enough to draw him in the tourneys I've played in!) and I suppose he's a ringer as he only started posting here this week after I lured him here. So anyway, post away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Well the only people I've played here are CorranSec, though he hasn't been here for a while, and Kimba. And I'm better than them Seriously though I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Yea, DMUK would pwn us all! [/suck up] I know pbguy beat me badly the last time we played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I think most of our best players (if we ever had any) have left by now... As for me, I'm sure everybody could beat me (well, maybe not DMUK, but still). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I think i'd give you a run for your money Darth54... Seriously though, im definately not the best player here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'd vote for Scythe, or Andy if he was still here (he's mad good in AoM DM too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saberhagen Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'm disappointed - where's all the arrogant egotistical posturing that I hoped to stir up? You're all too reasonable. Imagine the intense flame wars which would ensue from a similar post on the GiRL forums... Anyway, wouldn't it be fun to have a competition so we can actually find out? We could have grudge matches to settle arguments between certain people who hate each other. We could even have a team challenge - purists vs EU fans. What do you think?

swphreak Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 the purists vs EU? Talk about Galactic War... Bring it on Vostok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 What if we don't fall into either category: the people who play the game cause its a good RTS, with the whole SW stuff as an added bonus. I dont give a crap whether GL thinks that the Gungans didn't specifically ride on a certain animal, as long as the game works and is well balanced and well thought out, Im fine. EDIT: I dont think many of you were around long enough to remember the effects of the last grudge match on these forums (i'd check like page 7-9 of the last dreaded gunship thread for a refresher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I did a bit of reading of the Gunship thread(s) the other day in preparation for my design of the Galactic Republic. Now that was a good war. Purist vs EUist war... now that would be fun. To cater for Sith we'd have to have a third faction: Indifferentist. I would of course command the Purists, and I'd suggest Phreak take control of the EUists, and of course Sith for the Indifferentists. Unfortunately the Purists would probably lose the battle, as I'd insist on only using canonical units, putting us at a slight disadvantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 i USED to be very good... then my hard drive slowed down and made it a bit of a pain to play games on the zone as my screen/game would freeze for a second or so every now and then... once i fix that i'll be back! but that entails buying a new HD and also adding a little more RAM for sh*ts and giggles..

Darth Windu Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Yeah, i definately think the purists would lose. I played my first game of SWGB yesterday after months of inactivity...i got beaten by 2 comp players on easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Beaten by two easy comps? That's not something I'd be double posting about Have any other Purists tried playing a game with only canon units? It's quite fun. Of course you can only do it with certain civs, because you need a Worker and some form of AA, so that excludes Gungans, Wookiees and Naboo.

clonedjedi Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 A worker with AA ???? RIGHT........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 I suppose purists would just have to be confeds, then it should all work out (as long as no-one resigned cos the hailfire droid refused to shoot ground units!). I'm only a moderate purist so I'd be happy to use anything, but maybe that would disqualify me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 A worker with AA ???? Lol. I guess somebody needs to read more carefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Actually purists can be the following: Confeds: they get pretty much everything, although it doesn't necessarily function the same way as the movies. Confeds are also the only civ who gets their Cannon. Empire: They get a fair bit though you have to rely on TIE Fighters for Anti-Air purposes. Rebels: Again you need to rely on Air for Anti-Air purposes, but that is not a problem at all for Rebels. They get no Mechs or Heavys, though. Trade Federation: They get most things, but again with the reliance on Droid Starfighters. Republic: They get most things, though it's a bit of a stretch since their Worker is actually the Waitress droid from Dexter's Diner. The rest you can't do because: Naboo: Their worker is not Canon. Gungans: Their worker is not Canon and they have no Canonical units that can shoot Air. Wookiees: Your army would consist entirely of Troopers.

saberhagen Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 The Imperial worker is a bit dubious as well. IIRC the only ASP 7 is in ANH special edition at Mos Eisley. I don't think we see any of them working for the empire. As for the Rebs: you'd better be very good at trooper rushing, cos you'll die in T3 without mechs or heavies. And I don't think I'd fancy playing Empire without pummels or artillery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 That's true about the ASP-7, though we don't really know that it isn't working for the Empire. I rarely use pummels and artillery with the Empire, though I'm not the best player around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Lol. Always use artillery, you must. I wish we could really do a fight like this...but the world isn't flat... Since most of us haven't played in ages, we'll have a huge bunch of noobs fighting each others:p well except for a few but for the sake of a fair game we'll put them aside.

saberhagen Posted October 13, 2003 Author Share Posted October 13, 2003 Yeah, artillery is the best general purpose weapon. It's not particularly good against any one thing, but it's not particulary bad at anything either. It can be destroyed very quickly by mounties (if they get near it) but doesn't take much damage from other things. Pummels are the only viable way to quickly take down fortresses or CCs in T3. You can get a CC with art or even massed mounties, but it takes longer, costs more and you have to send in more units to counter defenders. BTW if you're confed, reeks are the best thing to use against turrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Yea but reeks aint available until T3 which is kinda a waste since hardly anyone uses the animals with the confed civ. Artillary is one of the best units in the game they can crush mechs when massed and slaughter entire groups of troops with ease any successful army in the game will have a few artillary in it. Ohh and for all us gamers/multiplayers in the forums we don't care about what civ we fight with cause they all the same anyways and we still kick ass just bonuses and 1 unique unit per civ is the only difference ohh and a few less techs which we all work around. Now that vostok mentioned the confed cannon I finally remembered where I saw it , confed cannon is a large step since it definately did not have that purpose in the movie and we didnt really see it for long enough to see what it fully looked like. The gungan worker is a design that was gonna be used for the gungan species but wasn't so the designers used it for this game instead so its now the gungan worker.
