Guest dvader07 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 I havveeee been reading all the different opinions here, and I think that most likely we will all be wrong about the jedi. I too voted thaat they would be the most influential, but the more I think about it, if I was going to try and balance out the game I would make sure that they were not that much more powerful. I few things I have read lead me to believe that this is true. First of all, if you read the post about jedi detection units, then you probably came to the conclusion that it is going to be pretty easy to counter the cloaking feature of the jedi with some basic defense planning, secondly they bounty hunters soul purpose is to kill jedi so if you plan carefully in your troop build up you will be able to counter the jedi threat. Yes jedi are powerful, but if properly planned for, they can be countered. If you really think about it, this is true for all units, aircraft would be devestating if you dont have air defense, and I don't know about you, but I tremble at the thought of having an AT-AT unleashed on my base.

Guest Gamma732 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 The Jedi will be very powerful(ie: that video clip), but hopefully they won't be a complete super-unit where if you got enough of em you could destroy everything between slaughtering infantry and converting the big stuff(AT-ATs). But I doubt any one unit will completely dominate every game because the designers of the game, as with most other RTS's are probably spending most of their time balancing the units........at least I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, AT AT's will be very powerful. Imagine 20 of those backed up with 10 AT ST's and storm troopers attacking you. Also Jedi will be very powerful, kind of like the AoC War Elephant that could be taken down with like the right units massed together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remeber that Bounty Hunters have to fight for production because they are in your fortresses. So they have to sacrifice time to your unique unit and Trebuchet. The Jedi may be powerful but they cost a ton (450nova) and they will probably build slower than any other unit in the game. Also Bounty Hunters are expensive too. So defence from Jedi will be hard, but properly using Jedi will be very difficult. Especialy for a game that, in multiplayer, most maches are solved very early in the game with early rushes of militia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 5 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Well again if you plan well even 20 at-at, and support units won't be a problem. Airspeeders can kill an at-at very quickly, and if the group you ust discribed came at a base with just 2 or 3 airspeeders, it would be dead before airsupport could get there.

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Originally posted by Lord JayVizIon tie, i sense distrust in the air force? first you didn't think they could hit one another, now you think they're a bonus feature? I don't distrust the air force, where did you get that. I was just stating the possiblility that the air units may not be able to hit each other, that thought comes from the C&C series. As for thinking they are a bonuis feature, i was asking a question, not saying it was one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the air units will be able to attack each other, and not sit there spitting lasers like SpaceCraft. Also the Air units will be probably the best in the game, they can take down Jedi with a few well placed bombs, but not inside your city where the bombs can waste you to.

Yeah I hope air units move when they fight but some how I don't think that will happen. It might be a good thing too. It would be to hard to select them in the heat of battle if they were all moving around. I really hope air units don't rule the game (like in Focom).

Lord JayVizIon Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 first of all what's spacecraft? second of all, yes thrawn air units will be able to attack each other, but they may not be in motion such as what you suggested. if you're looking for that, buy the xwing series. air units won't be too powerful (for one thing capital ships are not in the game), but they will support the ground forces as far as i understand.

Paragon_Leon Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 i voted for the aircraft. it adds a whole new dimension and tie bombers can even take out underwater structures of gungans. now that's some serious influence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer_20000 Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie Who do you think will be the most effectual in the game. Troops, Mechs, Artillery, Air, Jedi, or Ships??? Why??? It all depends on the terrain, the opponent, and your resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I will and yes. I found in other games air units can turn a battle, but for the best unit type in the game....have to play it first. Also depends upon the oppent. Someone who has no air defense mean air units are the best, while if the have ton of air defense don't bother with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Maul Jr. Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Artillery is the queen of battle...or so it was for the napolean times....air supieriority is the key in modern warfare, but i'm guessing they made jedi's the equivalent of gods, which in my opinion takes away from the RTS element...it wont be about building troops and using strategies it willbe about who can buy the most jedi first... If you got a unit that powerful in the game then why even make it an RTS,...just cut the crap and make a Jedi first person deathmatch game...yeah yeah, they got bounty hunters so what! I've heard very little in the way of bounty hunter plus it seems tha bounty hunters are only there for jedi's...well if hte jedi has troop support to kill the bounty hunter that can obviously on kick a jedi's ass..then they takes the bounty hunter out of the way and leaves the jedi to do what he wants..i was personally ticked off by monks and protoss dark templars. I got a new title for this game, "Star Wars: Jedi Hunting GRounds"!!!!!!! Cool!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I don't think the jedi will be as good as you think. Besides even if they are eventually it would get boring and you would move on to other units.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone might be superbly talented in the area of the Navy...while his partener is a Mech Commander:D So what are you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I know it is the most effective but I don't think it will be a god unit... I'm usually great with the Air units, however it depends on the game.... AoK I was the best with infantry especially the Woad Raiders/Tuetonic Knights.

Guest corranhorn Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Duh, to be Balanced they degrade how good the jedi are. I think air units will rule because they do in starcraft, modern warfare, AND other RTS games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I think that they will be like tanya in RA2. When you have her, you use her and she is dealy, but you don't bother to build her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi-Wan1587246508 Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I voted Jedi, and a close second would definitely be bounty hunters, for obvious reasons. Also, i keep seeing some of you reference an in-game video that shows a sith killing a lot of troops, can i get a link from somebody? Thanks.
