Mon Motha to easy to kill?

[aderlar]

Anyone else think Mon Motha should have a chance to slip away from a battle thats going poorly for the rebllion? Or remove killing Mon Motha as a victory condition? As it is now it makes the imperial campaign way too easy on the larger maps

[Thrawn]

I think we should wait and actually play the game before we see how easy or hard it is to do something. You never know what tricks the rebels could have up their sleeves.

[aderlar]

Actually thats brought this to mind. I just killed her, twice in fact. On medium diff, and empire at war map.

On the bright side the AI seems fairly quick at taking advantage of holes in your defence. It seems to jump at an undefended world within 30-45 seconds of moving the fleet away.

Have you got it already?

[Foshjedi2004]

No. It'll be the Demo version.

[alex124]

i havent seen a game mode like that in the demo version

[aderlar]

Have you got it already?

Got it a couple of days ago, spent most of my time playing the rebllion GC "From the beginning" and taking screenshots. With the exception of the Mon Motha problem and a slightly exploitable battle AI(when they don't have a clear mission) I havn't had any problems.

[Master Nikolaos]

Oh, good, screenshots, I guess it wouldn't be of any trouble to post some on this forum,,,now, would it...As evidence you got the game already, or have you?

[aderlar]

Heres a couple, I'll post some more when they are done uploading

that looks lexactly like the Kotor version, how cool is that

[Master Nikolaos]

Finally!, some one has something to show that is REAL. So, now that thats clear, it sucks that Mon Motha is so vulnerable. Then again, it might be asy to fix her health or something in order to make her less vulnerable by modding. I'm guessing those files are XML and can be changed easily.

[boc120]

that pirate frigate looks an awful lot like a republic dreadnaught

[Master Nikolaos]

Kinda, but the structure is more Trade Federation like.

[EAWFAN]

i take it aderlar that you livi in canada i heard they solddome early? is that true??? great screen shots though cant wait only 22 more hours until i can play it (school )

[aderlar]

The problem isn't how easy she is to kill on the battlefield (in fact she doesn't have a unit represantation, she just bums a ride in another unit/building) but the fact that you can easily bypass the republic's defences and crush all of hoth. Which is understandable but there should be a chance that hoth isn't where the heart of the rebublic is (or remove killing her as a victory condition).

 

Edit- apparently EB didn't update the release date. So some stores got it early and they went ahead and sold them; they fixed it in a couple of days but some people got it early.

[Master Nikolaos]

Well, that sucks even more, no unit? Hmm...well, I guess there will be quite a lot of modding going on after the game release.

[wedge2211]

It makes sense...Mon Mothma's not exactly a battle-hardend combat veteran; she's also not a grunt, she's the leader of a guerilla army. Seems sensible to me that she's relatively weak if the Empire gets to her and that she can't be directly controlled as a unit.

[LenaMarieD]

It is out, i have it too, Amazon.com shipped it yesterday overnight to me. Though i think Mon Mothma does need fixing, im a 'dirty imp' and its rather easy to kill her, she should have a slip away ability that will after a timer she gets smuggled off planet and when you return to the galactic map she appears at the nearest rebel controlled planet or, give her some Elite Rebel Guard Squad.

[Master Nikolaos]

Lets take a real life example for a second. Osama Bin Laden in practically the leader of a guerrilla movement. He has seen some battle action, but it doesn't mean that beacuse Mon isn't a warrior she has to be completely defenseless. If it can be done, I think it'd be really nice to be able to kill Mon by assasination only(she could be in the game, but just not a battle unit required to win the battle, etc). The cost of her assasination should be VERY high and only Bobba Fett could do the job. Now, that would be better in my opinion.

[shadowsfm]

but in the game, to assaenate or nutralize, you dont even need to go into combat, and it has no counter

[PoiuyWired]

Ok, are the positions of the base/etc the same everytime?

 

Thing is, due to the game being closely following the timeline, people playing as empire can somehow guess the rebel's base being on Hoth for some strange reason.

[shadowsfm]

in compain there is many difrent saneros, where each sanero has a diffrent starting planet, and diffrent amount of starting planets.
