darthfergie Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 Formations are extremely close to the implementation in AOK, darthfergie (8/21). The Trade Federation can have 800 droids at your control in single-player campaign mode. In standard and multiplayer modes, 200 is the limit for all civs. I hope I cleared that up. NEW INFO!!!!!!!!!! FROM GABER!!!!!!!!
darthfergie Posted August 24, 2001 Author Posted August 24, 2001 Fortress units can be upgraded to a better unit, Destroyer Droid (8/22). Destroyer Droids get a shield as part of that upgrade. The AT-AT (Assault Mech) costs 200 Food and 250 Nova as of this writing, but all costs are subject to change without notice. SHIELDS!!!!!
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 sweet, 800 droids now there is an incentive to play as the TF in single player campaings.

An incredibly lage one at that:D WoW I thought those guys were insane when they said that on the site...hmmm...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 Where did you get AT-AT cost/droideka info fergie? I didn't read that... maybe he posted Part 2...
Guest Kvan Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 *sniff* I wish the TF would have more units in Multiplayer. Maybe not 800 units but more then the rest:(

Maybe not 800 units but more then the rest:( Actually that'd be a good idea, instead of the TF having a civ bonous, they get a *slightly* higher pop limit.
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 i don't know kvan, but i'm pretty sure in multiplayer there are some bonuses for the TF. i'm sure they thought about this long before coming out with the right decision. nonetheless, if i'm playing against the TF in sp, that's pretty scary...
Guest crazy_dog Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 I thought the Galactic Empire has a bigger military force than the Trade Fed, as do the Ganguns. I mean Darth Sidios is really Palpatine, so the Empire should get at least as many units. As for the Ganguns, come on, the Trade Fed coudn't have given up all their forces. Hmmm... , maybe there is a cheat to get more units.
Guest crazy_dog Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 Is there an AoK cheat to get over the unit limit.
darthfergie Posted August 24, 2001 Author Posted August 24, 2001 Originally posted by crazy_dog Is there an AoK cheat to get over the unit limit. No I don't think so. AoE:RoR there was a tech where soldiers cost half in the population limit if you remeber...but that was back in the day where 50 was pop.
Darth_Rommel Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 Yeah... that sucks, but it just one more reason to upgrade your copy of AOE into *drumroll* GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS!
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 Originally posted by crazy_dog Is there an AoK cheat to get over the unit limit. There is one way to get over the pop limit. It was by having monks convert units to your side.
Guest crazy_dog Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 You, sir are AMAZING *gasps*!!!!!! Honestly, I didn't think of that.
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 your welcome. It is a little hard but I managed to get 30 units pass the limit one time.
darthfergie Posted August 25, 2001 Author Posted August 25, 2001 800 units...that might just be unstopable. Can you even imagine that many units marching at you??? They must produce incredibly fast for them to make so many.
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 Yeah, it would be almost impossible if they had to build houses, good thing they don't.
Guest Gamma732 Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 Just because someone can make 800 units doesn't mean it will necissarially be easy to make that many. Also, how would having that many units moving around at once effect the game's performance?
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 Alright, stop the conveyor belts! The TF gets 800 droids and doesn't have to build houses?! That seems just a tad unfair to me. They better have one heck of a restraint in resource gathering!!!
Paragon_Leon Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 no doubt they will. and imagine what 800 units cost on resources. what if those units are just as easily destroyed ? you'll end up with a bit of a problem if a well-prepared army takes out yours with ease and then marches into your largely unprotected base.

I don't know about "with ease" they probably don't have alot of tech upgrades for the troopers (besides Droidekas) No matter what 800...oh crap Droidekas ADVANCEING ON YOUR BASE!!!!!
Compa_Mighty Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 I think you people didn't understand this. The 800 pop cap, is ONLY IN CAMPAIGN MODE (that is in a scenario) Single player random map is called skirmish, and there, you can build only 200.
Paragon_Leon Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 ...which pretty much solves everything. thanks, Compa. i doubt if computer A.I. will be so good that it will really punish you for building such an army without proper defense, but we'll see.
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 Yeah, your armies are almost never marching on each other, it's always one attacking the others base/forward base. But they should be smart enough to counter attack........should.
