lukeiamyourdad Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Did you read my mind about shield bearers?! Might I suggest, that shield bearer be used in tandem with other troopers only, like they need to be in formation to shield their allies. If not it makes no sense to have some shield bearer running around somehow taking the shots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 They should be in front of the line of a formation of troops maybe they should go straight to when moving along with a group of units so they can deflect shots. Maybe available the level when mechs are made so the gungan troops aint over powered in the early stages. Should be weak vs mechs cause of there powerful blasts.

lukeiamyourdad Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Well, I was thinking that the main downside to the shield bearer formation would be its big weakness against any area-of-effect attack. Since they would be in close formation, a simple blast from artillery or a little strafing run by a fighter can reduce the tight formation to a big bunch of corpses. EDIT: This sounds stupid, but i'm glad it happened here, in the forum of my beginnings. I HAVE POSTED MY 2000th POST! WHOOHOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I made my templates with balance in the forefront. I made sure that every civ had an effective counter in every age, and mentally tested out combos and the like to ensure that one civ wasn't particularlly weak in a certain area.

Admiral Vostok Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Sith - well I've done that to an extent of course but I make no claim that they are totally balanced at all. Shield Bearers - all those suggestions are pretty much what I had in mind. Luke's Dad - congrats on the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_IVIeGaTI2oN_ Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Making Wookie basic trooper a melee unit would be decent but they would need a range "trooper firing" thing to compete. Perhaps one of the many Unique Units that this time, WONT be created at the fortress and will be available early. Give em high blast armor and they should be great.

Darth Windu Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Mega - that's pretty much how the troopers work out in my idea, and like Vostok i have made sure that no single unit is overpowered. An example would be, say the AT-AT. Although very heavily armoured with powerful weapons, it is defenseless in its rear arc, and turns around very slowly. In addition, it is very expensive and takes quite a while to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
