Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 That strategy will almost certainly work with GB as well, considering they have houses. The only thing that's different is that you can now have shields too, meaning that if you have enough troops IN your base, you are pretty safe from any outside attack. After all troops would have to get through the shield to disable it. In AOK; units could hide in towncenters, and you would see arrows coming out of TC's. The more units inside, the more arrows. Think we'll see lasers in GB ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Well, maybe ... but it wouldn't make sense in this case. Some civs have workerdroids ... and it might be against their program to shoot a blaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 LOL that sounds about right. Anyways, on the topic of shields. Did it occure to anyone that a base with a shield is gonna be very dificult to accack succefully. I hope that they don't unbalance the game too, much. Afterall, this is new, so it may need some work to be balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 It is pretty well balanced. Ithink each Civ gets shield Generators for their base. It is only the Gungans who have mobile Shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 You may each have a shield, but that doesn't mean that you can attack another base more easily. It is like giving a base twice the defenseive units, which means that you gotta be really determined to take out a shielded base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Or that means you have got to use all your flying units and make a grand assault on the shield. than attack the base with ground units. :tie: ==== Charge!! :atat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Yeah, but a good base would have air defenses, and the buildings inside would still have double HP, making them harder to kill. All your units would probably get shot down while trying to destryo the shield. Another Question: Do you guy think that if you build two shields and they overlap the building/unit will have 4 times the HP, or have 2 the regen rate?

Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 No, i don't think so. i think that if you have one shield generator up, a second has no extra effect. the second one will however take over once the first one is destroyed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 hmm that brings a question to mind. Does each side have towers that are AA guns or do they just have mobile AA guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Each side has SOME sort of AA-gun tower and also some sort of blaster-cannon. in whatever form or shape they'd come.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Where did you here about AA towers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 I didn't hear specifically about AA-towers, but every side has air-defense towers in whatever form they come. There's a pic in PC Gamer that really shows off the Trade Federation towers that way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 there's a pic of a gungan tower in one of the shots, so we're assuming that it's an anti air tower. in any rts game with air units, there has to be anit air towers that can defend your base or else you're SOL. yes, good pt leon, two shields doesn't increase your hp by 4, rather if one is destroyed the othe takes over makes a lot of sense.....if not, you'll see the biggest horde of faamba generators you'll ever see......

darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 in any rts game with air units, there has to be anit air towers that can defend your base or else you're SOL Or your Emporor Battle for Dune!!! Sorry Just Venting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 I'm guessing that in Emperor: Battle for Dune didn't have AA Towers anyways, i figured the shields couldn't overlap, and hopefully the designers didn't overlook that possiblity when making the game. That could make for some really overbalanced play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Emporor Battle for Dune didn't have any AA guns to counter the vast array of fighters. Well it doesn't have any AA guns for the first month after the game comes out. After that you may get them in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 well, i think they are... see those few lines of stairs before the entrance ? that's why i gather they are houses. Gungans have some strange architecture anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Yes they are houses. Mr.Fixit (someone who has played the game) confirmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Well, there you have it. Besides, those are exactly like the the bubles in the movie, and if you look at other screens i think you can see the exact same thing above water, meaning they could only be houses. What would be cool is if they had underwater boat defenses, sorta like torpedo pods underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 That would be very nice...but very cheap. The Gungans already have enough unique things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
