Can you pick your side?

Who says that the classic battles will be erased? You can play them, anytime. But just for fun, for messing around and for answering "What Ifs" you can choose a cross-era battle. Battledroids vs. Imperials will be cool, on say, Kamino! Yeah! Or maybe Naboo, or Hoth!

According to PC Gamer, who had an interview with some guy at Lucasarts, you will only be able to play Rebels vs. Imps and Clones vs. Droids. There will be no mixing of the two teams available. Although it hasn't been told if you'll be able to play Rebel vs. Imps on a planet like Kamino...

True. But then you'd have clones piloting AT-AT's, or maybe even the snowspeeders. It would mess up the battle's pretty much. i mean, the rebels and Imps could go to the prequel locations, because they're still there in their time, but the other way around wouldn't work well i think.

 

On a side note, what vehicles will the droids have anyway? Considering all their vehicles have a mind of their own...

The game is going to be balanced according to classic battles. Rebels will be balanced against Empire and Clones against Droids. Mixing them up might just be unbalanced.

 

Yep, I think that's the point most people seem to be missing. The Devs only have so much time to balance the sides, taking the time to figure out a way to balance all the factions against all the others is a pretty big waste of time (IMHO). While it could be kinda fun to stack Fed Battle Droids against Stormies, it's just a lot of work that takes away from other balancing issues.

I don't think you can pick a side. The clones and the droids are equal towards each other, and so are the rebels and the imps. For example putting droids against stormtroopers would lead into a giant droid massacre, because simple hailfires can't stand up against the overwhelming power of the AT'-AT

Not to mention all the units would be so similar due to having to be balanced for all vehicles and weapons...
