silentkiller Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Why does everyone seem to be in agreement that the gungans are the best race? I haven't played around with them too much but thats usually because i cant stand to hear them say "You'sa gots an order for me?" What makes them so damn good? It cant be enough to offset their anoying sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 they're not great, butthey arent that bad either....that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jediaoe Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 not everybody likes them. Some people say they suck and they really arn't that bad. Every civ is good you just need to know how to use the civ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 i think that trade fed and the empire are the most straightforward to play and that is why they are the clear fave civs so far. In time i think we will see more variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I dislike the Gungans for one reason: their units are different and look different than everyone else's. I like all of my mechs mechanized, thank you. All of my planes should not be pterodactyls either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Destroyer Droid Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I can;t see what people see in them. There mechs arent as good as TF or GE. Wookies, Rebels have better Inf. There air isn;t shielded. There like the all rounders i guess there not really good at anything but they dont suck at anything to badly either.

Heavyarms Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 they are good at mechs for one reason: Fambaa's, because that effectively doubles hp. They are also better because on stand ground, they aren't easily destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Destroyer Droid Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Yeah but your eventually going to have to move forward. Also Once something steps out of the shield they have to start recharging from scratch and from my experiences it's pretty hard and time consuming to keep your units under them while your moving.

Dvlos Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Play online. Don't judge them by their single player campaign. Esp. with a teammate the gungans kick mucho buttocks...They get just as many trooper/heavy assault mech upgrades that the empire does. You just have to know where and how to use them. And remember that their air stinks, so dont use it except for sneak attacks and scouting. I have played several games as Gungans, and my partner playing Empire. When you play Gungans you have to remember to stock up on ore for their famdaas, and coordinate your attacks with your partner. I'm sorry but shielded famdaa assault with atats, dark troopers, gungan troopers, gungan hvy mech destroyers, and some AA, are unstoppable. I feel that people that lock themselves into just playing the TF online are not seeing the full potential of the other civs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Destroyer Droid Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 A comparison of The Gungans to the Empire and in some cases Trade Federation. First of all the Gungans are missing the mech tech- advanced re design which gives mechs + 50 hp and makes strike mechs more effective vs infantary, mech destroyers more effectice vs assault mechs etc. This is a very important tech to miss, however to help make up for this they get as a bonus to them the tech- Gungan creature armour which in creases there hp of mechs another 10%.Even with this there mechs are still inferior HP wise to GE and TF let alone being less effective against the untis there designed to counter. Another thing to consider is that GE's unique mech tech- Walker research also makes there mechs much stronger by greatly reducing the minimum range of there assault mechs which basically makes meelee attacks on there legs by mounted troopers, jedi alot less effective. On to their infantary. They lack the last infantary range upgrade- intergrated range finder which however is offset by there infantary unique tech- farseein binoculars which gives there troop centre units + 2 range. So they have a + 1 range over ge troops so far but they miss a very crucial tech that GE does not- droid assistants which makes troop centre units build 20% faster. Which i would deffinately prefer over the + 1 range the gungans have over GE. The two civs airbases are identical missing the same upgrades getting the same things so theres no comparison. The galactic empire deffinately has the advantage in the force getting alot more upgrades then the Gungans but they are both missing jedi mind trick. The gungans deffianely have the advantage in the heavyweapons department. They recieve all the Heavy Weapon upgrades available to them and there unique tech- Creature training which makes all the heavy weapons 2x more effective against the units they were designed to counter like mobile air 2x more effective against fighters etc. While the imperials only lack one heavyweapon tech- reinforced frames which gives + 10% hp to heavy weapons. Which makes Ge's heavy weapons relatively good compared to all other civs apart from Gungans. Comparing the UU's of the civs is very tricky. Both have there uses and there ideal situations so it's basically up to your play style. If you can manage the awkward faamba's and the fact that they cost ore you are well then you've taken a step in being successfull with Gungan's. If you can implement dark troopers under your assault mechs to pick up on cloaked jedi and dispatch jedi then your also on your way to winning with Galactic Empire. As i said they both have there ideal situations etc. Well both there navies are almost indentical except for Ge is missing advanced frigate which is handy but not really necessary and that Gungans can build shelters under water which is handy but no necessary. Well in conclusion i'd have to say that both civs are pretty good but Ge is still on top imho but it's really up to you who you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 my main prob with gungans is i cant recognize their buildings and also their workers freak me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 The reason Gungans sucks because they are from planet Naboo. Any species from Planet Naboo SUCKS! Man I hate the Naboo civs their artwork like the Gungans are an eyesore... :mad: Change it to the VONG!! GO VONG GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_drake Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 yeah but if you play on a island map they are untouchable 1. frist you can't see the frigetes untill tech 4 2. by that time they have bulit a huge navey -which by the way is the best of the civs 3.and then all they do is attaack your transports and sink them 4. they can have advance crusiers which does a ton of damage and shell your a## untill youre to weak to resit an invasion of repter troops and fambass does are my reasons why the gingens do not suck :gungen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
