Rogue15 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well the stupid forums went down last time i typed up a huge thing. !!!!!!!! such a stupid inconvenience....eerrrrrr ok i'll type it all again but am going to DEFINETELY use copy and paste it to a text document... When I first heard about galactic battlegrounds i was very excited, and more so when the trade federation was going to be in. I decided they would be the civ i used the most. So i got the game for christmas, played through the basic training, and got to the bonus level of trade federation. I couldn't get apst the bonus level, so i went onto the gungans, beat it halfway, got kinda bored of them cuz they were fighting their own units (basically), so i went onto the Empire, beat it 3/4 as well as messing with standard and custom scenarios in between...then i accidentally did something in scenario editor, possibly a glitch. and it made it so i couldn't play, it'd crash whenever the level loaded no matter what. So i backed up some saves, reinstalled it, put the saves in, and it still crashed...SO i took the saves out and it worked...so now all the campaigns are back to the beginning, and i only do standard games....I was playing for the empire a bit cuz the at-ats were awesome, then i realized they sucked something unknown cuz a freaking gungan mounted trooper could destroy it that is SO lame and unrealistic, and blaster fire cannot destroy an at-at, tha'ts just WRONG and SICK. so i switched back to Trade Federation not too long ago, and am most comfortable with them. No stinky shelters to worry about. So, what's your favorite civ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chessack Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 A couple of points about AT-ATs. 1. If you buy all the mech upgrades, troopers are much less effective against them. There are a lot of upgrades. Buy them all, and your AT-ATs will be much more effective. 2. I seem to remember a lone, untrained, apprentice-type Jedi Knight, single-handedly taking out an AT-AT in Empire Strikes Back. So it can happen that a single soldier can take one out. Maybe not with blaster fire, but still. 3. This is a game, not the movies. The game has to be balanced. If AT-ATs were as invulnerable as you seem to think they should be, building them would constitute an automatic win. Perhaps fun once, but in the long run, very boring. Just my $0.02.

Rogue15 Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 force commander had the at-at PERFECT except for its inability to fire at air... edit: but i'm guessing the xpac is going to make the AT-AT into what it is meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chessack Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 If by "supposed to be" you mean that the AT-AT will be able to mow down any other unit in the game, I certainly hope not. It'd destroy the very nice game balance of units and counter-units that they have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 I'd make it so that troop center units cannot destroy it. that is all i'd want changed. and it's obvious u haven't played force commander...the at-at was very balanced in that game. It is weak against Artillery, bombs, and heavy laser turrets, and infantry can't take it down easily...they CAN take it down, but it'd take quite a while to do that.

Chessack Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 The problem is, there is no "AT-AT" flag on those units. They just have some amount of defensive armor, and hit points, and attack power and range, like any other unit. If you, say, give them +10 more armor vs. infantry, that armor will work against strike mechs, fighters, and other things it probably shouldn't work against. I just don't see any practical way for them to change this without disrupting the balance intrinsic to the GB game. Maybe it worked nicely in FC, but FC is a different game with different units and a different balancing system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaming Nut Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 As he said FC is diffrent and if you give it armor to protect against troopers it will be tough against all units. And the AT-ATs are still better then trade fed mechs less mimium range. Add better troopers and sith(what litte good they do) cooler planes and I take the Empire.
