Guest Tie Guy Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Guard towers. Also, start making troops as soon as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 set up defenses if you can also. if you've played starcraft and you went up against zergs, you know what i'm talking about..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Audomadik Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 The best defense against an early rush is solid scouting, and defensive building placement. If you prepare an early defense in Tl1, and your opponent rushes to Tl3, you are going to be greased up and bent over. By scouting your opponents resources, you can generally tell if he is planning an early rush, and you can prepare by walling defensivly or by building towers/a military of your own. Preemptive defense, is, in general, a very bad idea.. preparing for an attack that does not come will often cost you the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Master Yoda Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 I like to rush to the last age,but I build walls about half way through to the last age,then build an army. ===== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten-Forward Posted August 17, 2001 Author Share Posted August 17, 2001 An AT-AT Rush....this game is gonna rock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZeroXcape Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Hehe... It'll be fun to see AT-AT's rushing... (although I'm sure they aren't the quickest units in the game ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Thats an understatement. I believe they are one of, if not the slowest unit in the game, but also one of the best armed, i'll take the firepower anyday, as long as they aren't too slow.

Lord JayVizIon Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 yup, give them (AT-AT's) the firepower, and let other units take of the speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten-Forward Posted August 17, 2001 Author Share Posted August 17, 2001 Will there be snow-speeders with tow ropes??..good way to thwart an AT-AT rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Yes, in fact thats the REbels UU. I'm not sure if there will be towcables, or not. Perhaps towcable could be an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dvader07 Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 how do you know the rebel uu is a snow speeder. All I have seen is that it is a special Mech Destroyer unit. Those snow speeders weren't real effective against the AT-AT's in the battle of Hoth without the tow cables, so they don't sem like very good Mech Destroyers. imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work as a mech desroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, Jay posted a screen from PC Gamer that had it in it a while ago. Plus, what other speeder is there, they all look the same, no matter where they are located.

Lord JayVizIon Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 yeah, but i agree with audomadik. you should use scouts to check out a foe's resources and see what they're up to. you could be wasting resources on defenses when you should be using it on importang upgrades/units/buildings/tech levels, esp. if the foe is not an early rush type of guy.

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I as playing on easy when i first got the game. I started to scout with my starting cavalry right away and found them. I then harassed their villagers until he gave up. It was like the quickest match ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest madperm Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 i cant wait to try out some of the strategyies i used in Starcarft on multiplayer missions hopefully they work in this too i think rushing at the beginning has to be rationalized. a good thing to do is to scout, build up force like your gonna rush, wait for for the nme to spend all their money on defense and then keep moving up the tree your self. Defensive turrets and such are good, but troops that can stop the nme AND launch an attack is better. I like to rush, but sometimes you can fake rush and cause your nme to go beserk Thats when i have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 yeah, well the thing is that unlike starcraft where units were really unique, each unit and building is similar among the civs, so basically if you see something that looks like a turret, chances are it is a turret. thus, you'll have a general sense of what each unit in each civ does even if you haven't played with that civ yet. nonetheless, i want to see what the wookie rush is like:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
