Knights_Q2 Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I'm really looking forward to play all this civs, but I like this civ in pearticular. However, is the droideka any good? It costs quite a bit of nova and I see nothing incredible special untill phase 2 when it gets shields. Am I missing something or is that it?

darthfergie Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Shields...when you play the demo and see how valuable shields are. Plus its cannons fire faster than ordinary units. And it is faster than ordinary units (it rolls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 They had shields in the movie, they still should, giveing them higher hp and they were very powerful, so they should have a higher attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 I think that they also have a fast rate of attack, kinda like the Chinese Chu Ko Nu in AOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Destroyer Droid Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 My favourite Unit. The hvy Destroyer Droid Un Upgraded hitpoints 85. Shields 85. Attack 8 . Armour 2/6 . Range 6. With all Mech upgrades available to the Trade Federation Hitpoints 156. Shield 156. attack 12. Armour 5/10. Range 9. I can't see this unit being weak at all more like super strong and fast. blaster armour and there shield will make them almost if not ammune to most infantary and strike mechs. They will however most likely get stomped out of existence by mech destroyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 To every unit there's a counter-unit, so expect SOMEONE to be able to smash that Destroyer real fast.. Never depend on one unit too much.. Unless they are ATAT's and you're not playing against Rebels.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will however most likely get stomped out of existence by mech destroyers. This is a topic that has confused me for quite some time. Will fortress units, like the Destroyer droid, get the mech upgrades??? Does it count as a mech unit? The same can be asked of a dark trooper. Does it get trooper upgrades??? I think this is a major question, I actually think they dont get the upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Nilaar Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 I've been wondering that too.... Guess I should build some Dark Troopers and THEN upgrade my troops to see if there's any stat changes. Time to experiment;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bobio Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Troop center upgrades do affect dark troopers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Destroyer Droid Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 Yes upgrades do effect the uu's (Dark Trooper) just like the upgrades of aok effected the uu units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paladin Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I think mechs are too weak accept for the AT-ATs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth G Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 why does everyone think that the AT-AT is powerful?? every civ also have their own mech destroyer... i wouldn't put too much faith in the At-At during a game, it's definitely gonna be countered by something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
