Booya2020 Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Lucas Arts should make the air units stronger. 1 missle takes down an air unit. Is it just me or is that insanly weak? I would like to have air units that can live at least one attack. Also, buildings should be weaker HP wise, or make it so the least damage anything can do to a building as 10 or 20. You can't kill buildings with anything exept pummels. Damn its gonna be another AoE2. Not that AoE2 is a bad game but the multiplayer is crap. Why play for three hours just to lose? Thats why I mainly play vs. Computers. Anything else is a waste of time. Wow this really turned into a rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 i agree, the air units suck, but in the 4th tech level they get shields, so that might help. Still, in most games i don't even build a tie plant or whatever it is called. Also, they should make turrets easier to kill, they are too good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NamelessOne Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 i could understand the fighters being weak - they are hit and run units. But bombers... they have to make them a little bit more powerful. They should at least make their attack more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTenor Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 YEah I Agree Tie Guy. The buildings take forever to take down. Not only are toweres tougher so are some of the buildings. I think that it will all bw cleared ion the end since it is a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I Had 15 Z-95s and were all killed by one missle turret in about 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth_Venage Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I agree. Air units are WAY too weak, and buildings(like turrets and fortresses) are way too strong. But, as its just a demo, these issues will probably be addressed in final version. Let's hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cup_A_Jabba Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I know what you guys are talking about. I was looking at the tech tree for the races and the Hp for a tie was around 20 hp!! I was shocked!! hopefully though Lucas Arts recognizes this mistake and/or the next 4th tech lvl will greatly increase the hp and attack power of these air ships.

Guest Luke Skywalker Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Well I for one don't want this game to turn into a C&C tiberian sun game. If youve ever played multiplayer you know what im talking about. In Tib Sun 6 or 7 banshees will take out an entire base thats guarded by, oh lets say 10 SAMS. But on the other hand one hit kills arent that fun either. I say they make air turrets slower and have fighters withsstand 2 hits and bombers with stand 3. It would make sense.

Lord JayVizIon Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 i understand what you all are saying, my record stands at 1-3 b/c of people building turrets around the monument, which of course means game over for you unless you protect a good amount of pummels which is still difficult. if they don't correct this problem by the time the game is out, hopefully a patch will b/c that makes things way too unfair....

EndSub Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 they should make it so that you can't build anywhere near the runes.......wouldent be that hard.....there has GOT to be a terrain type you can't build on....... *and air units defiantly need to be tweaked.....but i am sure they will be tweaked by the time it has gone gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drakeon Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 the zone has records?? hehehe all i know is when the final game comes out i will NOT play the monument mode.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tuNg_TWiSTA Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 hmm, age of kings games don't last 3 hours usually, unless you are playing a large 3v3 or something on like black forest where noobies play and just wall their crap off. I can have your econ smashed at the 11 minute mark, followed by your base at about a 16 min castle time. takes strategy and thinking ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emp_Palpatine Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 i think the developers designed the air units to kill off infantries, not necessary to attack buildings, but the tie bombers should be better, but i think they designed it to only take buildings or heavy siege weapons down..

Don't forget that when the game comes out, most people won't be playing "capture the monument." So it won't matter as much then. Still...they need to fix the turret problem.

Guest garm2k1 Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 What I don't like about the air units is that they are standing in the air like helicopters! I know it also works in 'reality' with repulsors, but it looks crap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 ya if u look at air units as an advantage your wrong they suck so much they have alesser damage and hitpoints than storm troopers. i was thinking that Star Wars= air units= great game. but air units suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 Let's hope they fix it. They are good programmers, they'll realize that, they're still on beta, data can still be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 1. Anti-air is supposed to be that way, I guess I mean, look at the missile from the turret -it's about a meter long ! Not even an X-Wing can survive that! IMO, it's made that way to make a tactical element in the game: You have to take down the enemy air defense, then your fighters can move in (I played the imperials once, and my ally was a rebel, that was going 80% air units. I moved in with my dark troopers and mechs and fired about only at the enemy advanced anti-air units (basically a Kamikaze attack, but hey, they got the job done !). Then, my ally's air force went in and destroyed the base without taking a single hit! 2. They're not weak at all in terms of attack values. Remember the two TIE Bombers you see attacking the rebel base in the beginning of the demo? The building's HP goes down with 500 HP after every salvo! And that's just two TIE Bombers. Ever imagined what a whole squadron can do? They can take down a whole base with only one or two bombs! That's a building destroyed in five freaking seconds ! BTW, the imperials aren't an air civ at all (TIEs are more expensive to build), so well... 3. I Had 15 Z-95s and were all killed by one missle turret in about 10 seconds Not a very good argument. I had about 15 troopers and they got killed by a fortress in about 10 seconds; Nobody says they are weak, heavy lasers are just their best counter (okay, Jedi too ). Now that you have learned, you won't run Z-95s into their ultimate counters again, right. You've learned a valuable lesson! Be happy ! I was looking at the tech tree for the races and the Hp for a tie was around 20 hp!! I was shocked!! Em, excuse me, but have you seen a star wars movie at all? How can you be shocked to find that the game is canon as it follows the movie? Remember how TIEs are destroyed by about a single shot ? If you haven't, I'm sorry.

Guest xwing guy Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 It sure doesn't and I think that air units should be tougher and buliding be not as tough as they are in the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_MASTA Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 ok guys remember 2 things one this is only a demo!!!! and two do u remember the ties in the movies they sucked:D i feel all special for figuring that one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xwing guy Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 Yes you should feel all special. Also remeber that these are early age fighters and bombers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emowilli Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 AirCraft are great for early 3rd age rushing. It's rare that you run intro significant Air defenses on your first attack. A few anti-air infantry can be killed by 8+ aircraft. I can routinly take out 20+ villagers in the process. Then as your opponents go crazy putting anti air everywhere, I attack from the ground to finish up. Emo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
