Laser Turrets- too strong?

[Guest Luke Skywalker]

you have a point god32whatever but I still think the arguement is that 20 troopers could take out a tower in the series, and it kinda contradicts the series.

[Guest Maul403]

i think buildings are too strong in this gam-...demo

but too weak in AOE2

mabye if they put it in the midle

[Guest Paladin]

They are too strong.

I had 30 Dark Troopers and 5 jedi KNIGHTS.

I took out the tower eventulally but only had 5-10 guys left.

[Guest Maul403]

i think that the shields are fine....if the overall building strength was weakened

[Eets]

The shields are a cinch to destroy. Just take out the power core that powers the shield generator.

[Guest Stormtrooper]

Hehe, looks like no more early rushes...new tactics are required. and with only 75 units and no tech4 in the demo make it seem like towers and buildings are too strong...i'm sure the full version with tech4 available and 200 units will set things straight.

[General Nilaar]

I took down three fortresses, all protected by shields, in just one engagement last night. Took down the power cores and shields too and every other building nearby. Pummelers cut through them fast. Had Dark Troopers and Sith protecting them. I lost three of my own later in the battle though.

 

So buildings aren't that powerful, even with shields. That battle was pretty fast and furious though, there wasn't time to put up walls and towers to help in the defense.

 

And remember, we haven't seen what going to Tech lvl 4 will do to things;)

 

That should change a lot of things!

[Guest Maul403]

PALADIN, thats because those kinds of things are not meant to take out buildings. If you have siege weapons and a considerable force to tie up the enemy while you siege you should be fine......i know earlier in this topic i said that buildings were too strong but i have "studied" and concluded otherwise

 

this is a different game than AOE2 where u could go up to a castle with 20 infantry and destroy a castle

 

games in GB are meant to be concluded late in the game and with strategy and precision...and they are also a heck of alot more expensive LOL

[Guest Hockey_Beast]

Similar to the Btowers in AOK and TC an btowers were only able to be stopped by trebs and then later on by rams

[Guest RabidRat]

there WILL be rushing!!

 

u'd have a hard time taking down their buildings but with just 1 turret u can destroy all their units and then slowly work on the rest of the base...

[Guest Maul403]

i read this in a Game Spot Preview..."In this game, most units fire ranged weapons, and the heavy ones, like the AT-AT, make all defenses virtually obsolete."

[Guest Maul403]

Yeah, if you get that AND a Heavy Turret AND Shields then almost nothing will be able to stop them.

all u gotta do if kill the power core...then the shield doesnt work
