lonepadawan Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 IGN preview mentions these as "new planets" .. does that mean we're getting ground maps for these planets? Utapau (or however it's spelt) could also go alongside these as a "difficult terrain" planet (i.e, no real ground) so is this somthing new for the expansion pack? Pseudo space/ground battles? Or just enormous platforms.. discuss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think huge platforms. It makes sense and it would be alright this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonepadawan Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Aye. Anyway.. if they do add this, I'll be exceeding glad. In the original I always thought it was odd that they could do Coruscant but not Bespin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I would ignore what IGN says, it hasnt a clue about computer games or anything. Kamino could be in the game. Now, wheres Gamespot... DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMUK I'd say the same thing about Gamespot...they are exceedingly biased and largely incorrect in a lot of things, so we're really left waiting for PCGamer or sometimes even GameSpy or GamePro Or just wait until the game comes out and find for yourself.

aggie_john Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I have a question, who will defend Kamino as the indiginest life forms. The kaminians dont seem like fighters and considering that they are cloners and all???.......will we see some clone troopers there maybe????

lukeiamyourdad Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 No. There could just be some Kaminoans. It doesn't matter if they're natural fighters or not, when it comes to defending your planet, you do whatever it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggie_john Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah but there cant fight really. They are cloners you would assume that they have some home guard troopers. I mean I thought that durning the Clone Wars when there home world was attack by the CIS they activated the ARC troopers? Am I wrong? They dont have to be the Clones from the clone wars but some varitation atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Maybe they don't have clones at all? After all, I don't see the Mon Calamari as ground grunts with blasters either yet they defend their planet. It's not hard to pick up a blaster in desperate times.

aggie_john Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah but the Mon Calamari are not know for making clone troopers either. Their planet does however specifically produce their MC cruisers. Granite not in defense of their planet but still. I would hope that either the Kaminoians use clones to defend their planet or they offer clones as a unique unit for the empire. I guess somethings we need to consider are: which side would the kaminoians be loyal to the Empire or Rebels? This is important because if their rebels then most likely they will fight themselves because of their personal intrest in freedom. though they might still produce clones for the Rebels since that is their cheif expertese. Though again one would wonder how the rebels would preceive the use of clones considering their track record. If they support the empire then they would definately continue to produce clones for the Empire like they did for the Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkodeon Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Kaminoan Cloning facilities were seized by the Empire, and in turn stopped the production of clone troopers, if I am not mistaken. Was it not moved to Byss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gswift Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Every planet has some special bonus or penalty. Kamino probably gives a bonus to infantry in some way. That seems obvious. Maybe even a free barracks building, and/or a ground location that can be captured to gain free clone troops during battle (or several locations). As for the gas giant planets that have no surface, there could either be platforms or they could be treated like asteriod stations that only have space maps, but grant income and act as lanes of travel. What I've seen so far indicates that they have made some MAJOR changes to campaign and ground maps, so there may be possibilities that we can't even imagine at this point.

slornie Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 wasnt the cloning facility moved to Wayland...and anyhow...shouldnt the empire get more of an advantage when fighting on Wayland...i mean the Emperors Guardian...Mt Tantiss, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the map editor you guys will eventually get to download will have this feature. You'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkodeon Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 So are you confirming that these planets will now have ground maps to go with 'em? Chances are if the planets are in the map, then they would have a ground map in them. Heck, they're even placing a Bespin map in, so why not Utapau?

Commander Obi-Wan Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Cool, it'd be neat to play on these planets.....I am actually contemplating on buying this now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge2211 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Maybe aerial maps where only hovering units are allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Anarch Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 A Cloud City map where some areas can only be reached with airspeeders and hovertanks would add an interesting touch. Sort of the opposite of Jabim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
