Guest Chad Skywalker Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 IN your experience what is the best way to take down a swarm of AT-AT's Normally I use my airforce, but my buddy started building AA Turrets as he moved in with his AT-AT's Just wondering if something is more effective, since lately my buddy is sending in swarms of AT-AT's at the same time. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_drake Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 in your mech factory there is a unit used to kill mechs with the upgrades theses mech killers are very effective if you them against those but you will need more if your freind has a lot of hope that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chessack Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Jedi and Sith are also rather effective against AT-ATs, in my experience. They run around their legs, chopping at them, and it doesn't take them very long to kill one either. Had it done to me a few times the other night.

Guest DinoDoc Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 You might want to try attacking him before he has a chance to build up that many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chad Skywalker Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I was attacking his main base, he rebuilt a Mech Factory mid map with good defenses. Sad thing is I wiped out his main town twice and still lost the match. Although I was going to lose for sure after the first 3 minutes of the game, becuase I forgot I put the game on fast mode and forgot to research Tech 2 early, he ended up with all the Holcrons and I ended up having to click for Nova. I thought about Jedi's but with so many AT-AT's I am not sure it will be effective. Thanks for the replies so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimjack Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I prefer to use air myself but since that isn't an option I would use melee units. Hvy Mech Destroyers are nice but AT-ATs tear through them to easy. Even upgraded AT-ATs have a minimum range so they can't defend against melee units and when they shoot at a unit attacking another AT-AT their splash damage will hurt their own units too. When I say melee units I mean Crusaders, Beserkers, and Jedi not Mounted Troopers because they suck. If your Civ doesn't have any of these (TF or Gungans) then you'll have to go Mech vs Mech. Hvy Assult Fambaas around a Fambaa Shield Gen will shred AT-ATs trust, me I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lord Maul Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Jedi or a crap load of Gungans. I'm guessing the swarm of ATATs that I sent in must of tripped over their dead bodies and fell. Or something like that. All I know is my swarm of ATATs were destroyed by a lot of Gungans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 use airspeeders they make mince meat out of at ats make around 10 of them and do guerilla warfare or hit and run otherwise use a mechdestroyer or jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nerf Herder Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 If its a late game and you have a lot of food and carbon I would go with the mech destroyers. Nomally I don't make ATATs any more. Sure they look nice, but I find mech destroyers with strike mech more useful and less expensive. If you can get a army of about 20 mech destroyers, remember you need to have quite a bit of food and carbon, and select those MD's and attack each ATAT individually with the selected MD's then that should take each ATAT with one attack, if not then two attacks. You will lose some to his mass ATAT army, but MD's are alot cheaper to make then ATAT's. I don't like using ATAT's because of there intensive Nova cost. I use cannons if I want to do some heavy firing. I use the Nova's for upgrades. Nova is a limited resource, unless you have holocrons, while food and carbon is almost limitless. Once I used 60 MD's with AA vehicles and took out any entire base that had assult mechs and mech destroyers. I used cannons for the building, but was able to attack buildings with my MD's. It didn't destroy them fast, but there was nothing there to counter my MD's. I know they weren't ATATs but they were similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jediaoe Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Gungans are very good at killing mechs, all you basically need is some mechs to take them out, but you would need a lot against like 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Shielded armored airspeeders definatly. In the rebel campain, the battle of hoth mission only gives you 12 speeders but i managed to take out all three waves using the 12 speeders and not one was killed. i even saved the shield generator that game. kinda seems wierd...

General Nilaar Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Imperial Walkers cost a lot of nova, just start claiming all the nova sites you can, and he'll have to find something else to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Destroyer Droid Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Well one i see my opponent has tonnes of them I would retreat a bit set up a shield generator and a few turrets and get lots of mech destroyers and grenade troopers.

idiot00001 Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 I was playing as the Naboo, once and I had a second base, so I let his 20- 30 At-Ats partially destroy the base, then I hit him with several waves of genade troopers, and royal crusaders. The grenade troopers worked ok, but Crusaders are the best ground unit, that the Naboo have, against heavy mechs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_drake Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 all of these are good ideas but i neaver use greande troopers they seem less effective then mech destoryers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Mech Destroyers and Jedi/SIth will take them out of a fight really quick. Just build loads of them if they have a swarm of ATAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDRAWKCAB Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 It seems this was brought up earlier... ADV. PUMMELS they attack from inside the AT-AT's minimum range, and kill 'em fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Adv. Plummels are too expensive in nova crystal and Mech destroyer will be cheaper. Plus the Jedi can serve an all purpose attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 jedi cost just as much it would be just as expensive to do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Yeah but Jedi are good at anything. Plummels are only good in one or two things. So your money is better spend in Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Well then comes in the Bounty hunter and Mech Destroyter. That is what is so good about this game.
