The_Eradicator Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 i saw in gamespot on the spot video that thrawn would be in campaign but he didnt mention if he was on skirmish/ galactic conquest as well? can we get an ansver? what about garm bel iblis? we doont have news about him too ..
Darth Anarch Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I think there was a screenshot somewhere of Thrawn's Star Destroyer in a Skirmish game. I believe he'll be in both Skirmish and Galactic Conquest as well as the campaign.
The_Eradicator Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 yes you THINK , but there has been no confirmation so far. and what about garm bel iblis?
wedge2211 Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I doubt that they would only appear in the campaign, because then you would only get to fight against them, and the Rebellion and Empire would hardly have gained new space heroes, would they?
Darth Anarch Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Yeah, what Wedge said. If you're not satisfied with the response, you'll just have to wait for the game to come out and see for yourself.
Darth_Torpid-PG Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Thrawn is available in the story campaign (on the enemy side), galactic conquest (solo and multiplayer) and space skirmish games (solo and multiplayer).
The_Eradicator Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 and garm bel iblis.. we had no information about him so far..
wedge2211 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 He's in the game. Probably a hero dreadnought. You don't want any surprises in October?
Darth Anarch Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Probably exactly the same as Thrawn. Not what he does, of course, but with regards to availability etc.
Darth_Torpid-PG Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Garm is a ground vehicle hero - the vehicle is new and so far we haven't released screen shots of it. It's actually my favorite unit He also has some enhancements to ground and space troops similar to a powerful field/fleet commander.
Foshjedi2004 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Explain to me why a Fleet Strategist Like Garm Bel Iblis is in charge of ground units?? A Ground hero would more likely be Generals Rieeken, Cracken or Madine would be better suited for that role
Darth_Torpid-PG Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 He IS a general, not just a fleet strategist - that's a ground-command term, and from what I read, Garm had a few ground battles under his belt as well. He made the most sense for the position from all we had to pick from. He does affect space battles as well. But I know better than to get into a lore argument
Foshjedi2004 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 If you read star Wars Lore the Ranks are not the same as the current Militaries of the world. They don't go "Lieutenant", Lietenant Cmndrer, Commander, Captain, Admiral For Fighter Command and Fleet Command they go Lieutenant, Captain, Lieutentant Colonel, Colonel, Commander, General. Fleet command then go into the Admiralty Ranks.
Darth Ablett Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Explain to me why a Fleet Strategist Like Garm Bel Iblis is in charge of ground units?? Since the Dreadnaught (probably) isn't in the game, they probably didn't want him flying anything else. Why the Dreadnaught isn't in the game is another question. Also, I just remembered the Peregrine, his ship, is a Katana fleet Dreadnaught - which probably isn't in the timeline. If Thrawn is in the Admonitor, I don't think Bel Iblis could be in the Peregrine. I may be wrong though (probably am )
Darth Anarch Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Who cares? The Rebels needed a hero unit in a vehicle, anyway. And he can still influence space battles; it's just that he doesn't come in his own ship.
Foshjedi2004 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Actually You cancode it so he Does....
Darth Anarch Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 In that case I'm sure there will soon be any number of mods placing him in the Peregrine or some other Dreadnaught. Everyone wins.
Darth Ablett Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Just thought I'd mention, Bel Iblis' vehicle is called the Gargantuan Battle platform. The description (but no picture) is on IGN. http://media.pc.ign.com/media/827/827314/img_3909340.html Edit: Sorry if this is already common knowledge.
PoiuyWired Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Now, where can we find and control the penguins ?? Thrawn would be a nice guy to lead them if he can ever have land-based battle unit, cause he can easily look like Freeze(no Vader will not do Batman impersonation).

I assumed that with a name like that it would be something bigger, like a space defence platform.
Darth_Torpid-PG Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Oh, so that's the name of his vehicle? I assumed that with a name like that it would be something bigger, like a space defence platform. Oh trust me, it's plenty big enough
