Question about Ewok shelters and such

[Chessack]

During the course of a few "standard" games, using Star Wars places maps, I have run into some curious objects. On the Endor map, there are some "Ewok shelters", which look like little huts. On Kessel there are "Kessel Mines". These seem to be buildings of some sort, and when you approach them, you take "possession" of them like you would a herd of nerfs, or in the old AoE game, ancient ruins. However, they don't seem to "do" anything for you. You don't gain any "points" from having them, you can't garrison units inside them, you can't build anything from them, etc.

 

Anyone know what these things are for? Are they like the ruins from the old AoE game? That is, if you own them all, do you win the game? Or are they just little terrain features and otherwise meaningless? Just curious....

Little terrain features which do nothing, as far as I can tell.

lol Chessack, he was talking to me. I'm a developer of Star Wars: Total Annihilation, a SW total conversion for another RTS. You should check it out: http://tauniverse.com/swta .

 

And yes, I do recall seeing you around, Rogue15/S2DC .

They are there to annoy your opponent, if you have it set so that your opponent must kill all your units he cant win until he gets rid of all the shelters and stuff too
