RF_Gandalf Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Don't know if anyone has tested these but I have some questions... The instruction manual with the game says that the Royal Crusader 'disrupts enemy troopers with ease from close range' or something similar, but then in the list of counters it says that you should counter these with laser troopers. They seem to have no attack bonus vs. troops that I can see. Also, the manual says that they get personal shielding, researched by an armor tech at their fortress, and the little icon picture of the Heavy RC looks like it has shielding, but the unit does not act like it. I could not find any special research that gives them shielding, either at the Fortress or the WarCenter or ResearchCenter. Does anyone have any info on what the RC is best for, and does it have any bonus against specific units? What about this shielding issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chessack Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Upgrading from standard to advanced Royal Crusaders at the Fortress (I don't remmeber the technical names for them) gives them shielding. And once you do that, they become quite formidable. I had 3 of them hold off a small army for me once, while I was off elsewhere attacking a different enemy, and neglecting my home base.

Com Raven Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 As with all Naboo units, you have to be very careful with them[can't let them walk to the enemy and se what happens....] I usually use them vs units with a minimum range....[much as chevaliers in AoK] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chessack Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Originally posted by Com Raven As with all Naboo units, you have to be very careful with them[can't let them walk to the enemy and se what happens....] Are you saying with other civs besides Naboo, you do let them walk to the enemy and see what happens? Yikes! I never do that. I can't imagine that you'd ever win against any human that controls his forces carefully, doing that -- no matter what the civs are. The default attacking behavior of units is fairly stupid -- as it should be, or else why bother to even play the game? But that means that if you don't control your units carefully, they're more than likely to do something really dumb and get hosed by an inferior force. I win a lot more than I lose, against the computer, for just this reason: since I control my units, they're way smarter than the enemy's. Thus even a technically inferior force can sometimes win the day, if you're careful and smart about it -- and if the other guy is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Hell, no, of course I don't do that.... I only mean that while all units need control and managment, it's especially true for the naboo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altus_Thrawn Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 for the RC i thought that elite ones were just more powerful, and that there was a fortress tech for shielding....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
