Paragon_Leon Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Hi Gaber and team, if you haven't gone gold yet, here's one thing you might want to look at that seriously affects the speed of gameplay: the unit building-speed !! Is it my imagination, or is it a lot slower that AOE ? I built Stormtroopers and waited ages before i could actually fend off or mount an attack.. In AOK, it was possible to have 10 units built in about 10 minutes; here you don't even have half that amount !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoErat Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 It's called Power Cores. Troopers will build in about 7 seconds, mechs in 15, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted October 19, 2001 Author Share Posted October 19, 2001 Don't i feel stupid now... Yeah, I got that cleared up in another thread. Can you imagine I WON my first MP-game against a good player WITHOUT power cores ?!? Imagine what I'll do when i use them.. All bow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarkTrooper Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 and here is a helpful tip: if u want to make a whole bunch of expensive units make 2 count em 2 power cores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr_death Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 so if you build more than one power core it builds faster?? what if you build about 20 will they build instantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_MASTA Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 leon u mean u didnt wonder what those things marked power cores did:rolleyes: do 2 power cores speed up unit production more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maul403 Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 why dont u go test it? i dont think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr_death Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 more power cores dont help, o and lean there are upgrades which will enable some units to be produced faster. " Don't i feel stupid now... " lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 If ya want it fast, simply build 2 Production buildings ??!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted October 29, 2001 Author Share Posted October 29, 2001 power cores is a radical departure from AOK, which is why i forgot about them in my first game. now i can pump out armies within minutes by building multiple barracks in a star-formation around a power core... great stuff.. i want to try and work on a troops-only strategy now..

Guest Tie Guy Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Originally posted by Paragon_Leon i want to try and work on a troops-only strategy now.. Well, good luck trying to destroy buildings then. You better take a few pummels in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dlayers Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 About the only troop strategy I've seen that is effective is using them to destroy workers. They really don't have enough Hitpoints to be that effective. Unless you are counting jedi/bhunters...but I was assuming you where talking about the ones built in troop centers.

Paragon_Leon Posted October 31, 2001 Author Share Posted October 31, 2001 i am... the trick then is to attack as early as possible with a massive foot-army. So it's no rushing, but a massed attack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 It can be pulled off. You would simply use mounted troops to take down buildings, and normal troopers to guard them, grenades for mechs, and anti air... well, i'll let you figure it out. Only one problem, fortresses, you will need pummels. ANd lots of troops would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthunter Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Was just playing a saved game, and after i had a ton of recources, i killed just about all my workers and build about 73 bountys hunters. Ouch:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 don't forget too that you have shield generators and that they, too, are powered vastly by power cores. another tip, leon, if you dont know by now is to place a power core next to your nursery so that nerfs can produce food at faster rates.... dang, did i give away too much?
