Guest jigga Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Since the trade federation is not going to have houses I was wondering if they were going to make some sort of control tower for the droids and if they were to destroy one of those towers would some of the droids be destroyed or shut down. Like if a tower gives you the option to make 10 more units then if that building was destroyed 10 of the droids or other units would shut down. I think that would be cool.

Havoc Stryphe Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 don't know...but it sounds alot more logical than houses for droids! "where are you going Tc-14?" "I'm going home, my livingroom needs swept and dusted" Droids certainly don't need houses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 They might just do that although I havn't heard anything about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 That wouldn't work, bucause one of their advantages is that they don't need houses. If they towers, they would destroy that advantage. The whole point of not having houses, is that you don't need to build anything to have an army, not that you have to build something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yes but you have to build lots of houses and only one of these:D Anyway a thought just occured to me. Why couldn't they just control them from the barracks. Or maybe it is somewhere out in space. I havn't a clue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 actually, have you considered that they might simply not need houses - period ?? In AOK, the Huns are a comparable civ. They don't need houses and there's not something else they need to build in return. It's simply an advantage that civ has. They do start out with less resources though, making it more balanced early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yes I have and I am just making counter points on this subject thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Awesome avatar Havoc! I for one think that the control tower is an excellent idea, but it's not exactly fair for the TF 'cos they already collect wood slowly, and they need to build a control tower? That pretty much negates the advantage of not building houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 They try for balance don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 every civ is balanced in comparison to the others. and the differences in resources / advantages are small, but big for the player that really learns to exploit them. i'm looking forward perfecting my TF droideka-rush... hehe..

darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yes and I am looking forward to blowing those droidekas to little pieces before they deploy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueJedi86 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I'm willing to bet that the droid control ship is your town center equivalent and if it's destroyed,you basically lose. So it pays to build at least 2 droid control center for your droids. And I assure you,no one's gonna do a droideka rush without any other units to protect them. I'd be sending in about 10 or 15 tf bombers to blow away your existing defnses before I send in the droidekas so you would be helpless as you were 'pounded unto death' by my great Trade Fed force! MWUAHAHAHAHA! Long live the droids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I don't really think there will be any control centers. besides those bombers wouldn't do you any good my AA towers would nock them righ out of the Air while my Fortresses and Ground towers mow down your units.

Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 RogueJedi, the TF has a Towncenter like every other civ... i have a perfect screenshot of it in a magazine and it looks real...droid-like. I'll see if i can put up some scans soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yes I know what you mean on that one. It looks like a Droideka rolling up kind of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Every civ may have a town center, but it would be a major disadvantage if the droids would be "knock out" simply by destroying the Towncenter. I'm betting that droids will be treated just like other troops, except they don't need houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueJedi86 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Are all of us posting on this thread gonna be playing the Trade Feds first? I sure will. Me and my friend are eagerly looking forward to it. I will show his pathetic Imperial garrison/attack force the true meaning of "droid rebellion" when my droids turn his base into just another crater on the battlefield where my droid legion hath eliminated a many opponents.

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 What was the topic again..... Oh yeah, I wonder what other bonuses the other civs have? We know the TF doesn't have to have houses, and the Naboo have a economy bonus, but what do others have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
