Guest supajax Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 i saw a screen shot on a mrfixitonline.com preview of batlegrounds ( http://www.mrfixitonline.com/attachments/swbgpreview_rebel.jpg ). is it just me, or are those stormies riding dewbacks on hoth? i find that just wrong, but then again, it might just be me.

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Welcome to the boards. It's not just you, or if it is, it's just me and you. Anyways, what can they do, they can't have "worldspecific" units, although that would be really cool. Like on Hoth they had tauntauns, and tatooine they had dewbacks. That would be too much work though, and some maps have both ice and desert. What are they gonna do, magically transform when they cross into the desert?

Guest Kvan Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Maybe they could change the color of the unit? Like have a white or light blue dewback when you are on Hoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 nah, too complicated, why even bother, it's no big deal. What they should have though is snow falling on the ice terrain, i don't think that would be too hard, but it would look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess all they really need to change the dewback (and other animals) is for Hoth..so I guess it wouldn't be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 It's more than just saying, ok, when you walk over snow turn white. They have to get the new artwork and insert it in when a line in the terrain is lost. I doubt the game really even can determine the difference between the two terrains, they probably just stick in the tile sets with out much programming.

Guest Kvan Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 It's not that difficult! They can do it if they wanted to, but there really isn't a point to it I guess. I mean whoever heard of a white dewback? Maybe a pink one, but not a white one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kuma Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Nice Avatar KVAN, you got good taste... As for troopers on Dewbacks on hoth, it's odd i agree, but for me it is not a big thing. I mean, Star wars is a fiction, it's not historical or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 I'd compare dewbacks to tauntauns anyway, so i don't really see a problem with it either. plus, on space-platforms, people will walk around wearing no protective suit... same deal; it's a game with no scientific undertones like that..

Guest God Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 its no big deal!! the dewbacks would have just as much of a problem as the rebel troopers. they aren't wearing jackets and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_MASTA Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 if stormtroopers ar able to ride on dewbacks then they should b able to ride them anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
