Treacherous Mercenary Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Also, if we had more players for the game, then maybe it would be good to see what's used and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaming Nut Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Like I said a civ should work as well in the hands of novice on another novie then in the hands of an expert on another expert and naboo don't IMO. So their weak you also must note that msot palyers never will get to the eilte level and and so Naboo will always suck for them. I would also be willing to bet like me in some games that some of them take the weaker civs guns what have you to get a bigger challnage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Your argument doesn't hold weight. If two equally matched newbies play each other using all the various civs, you are likely to find that the Trade Fed are the most powerful and the Naboo are the weakest. On the opposite end of the scale experts would find it the other way around. Trade Fed being the weakest and The Naboo being the most powerful. Looking at it objectively different civs suit different levels of skill. It's easy to mass Droidekas and dominate, but it requires more skill to build a balanced army that is near unbeatable.

fido4fox Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I couldnt agree more Duder!! I have been playing these type games since they came out and I get bored when I play a side that has all the upgrades or better upgrades and can easily dominate the board. If I want to roll over someone I play the empire. But if I want a challenge, I play the Naboo. Their air is not as strong (niether is the Empire's IMO), but with the help of a few troopers and mounties they do well in handling anti air assets. Their Jedi are great anti troop center units and a small group of masters can infiltrate an enemy base and convert a few buildings before being discovered, or at least thats what I do. Their cannons are formidable, as well as the crusaders which, by the way Gaming Nut, I have sent up against Droidekas and won, on even numbers, even when both are upgraded. So you see Gaming Nut, this game isnt only for novices and newbies. It has facets for the expirienced player as well. And if you dont want to play the naboo, then dont choose them. But using them, I have defeated every single civ, minus the two news ones, and I take great pleasure in defeating gungan units as often as I can!!! Also, I am having a hard time understanding what you are saying half the time. Can you try checking your spelling and punctuation, just so that I know what you are saying!!

Gaming Nut Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I already said some guy might use them for the challnage. thou thats a silly reason IMO but to each his own. If the AA was out in the open and alone I gusse a few troopers and some monuties would be able take them out. has it ocuured to you that a player could just as easily build a balacned army of more powerful units as the empire or rebels you don't seem to get that hes going to use a combined arms army too. And that the units in that amry are stongetr then yours. The only way your bonutys beat an equl number of destroyer driods is he walked past your guys and let them pot shot the destroyer Driods for about 3 volleys even then once he satrted fighting it would be a pretty close fight. That or the driods had few if any upgardes. Pff melee their just barely usful on assualt mechs that are ungaruded or pummel drops their untter crap on anything eles. Royal cursaders can last longer then most but still die on mass when facing ranged units. I've seen them in action and their not that impressive. Jedi can be slightly usful as their invisable and have gotten beefed up in the X-Pack still Their a one trick pony most of the time. You attack he say hey look jedi kills them with some losses and then has 6 to 10 bonuty hunters ready and wiating if you try it again. I hold that a player of euqal skill using a combined army will bea thr naboo more often then not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RequiesAeterna Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Hmmm, not sure what will happen in the expansion, as I don't have it yet. As of now, Naboo is NOT considered the best race in the game pre-xpac. Only one person I know thinks this, and that's Pomp, who has a weird way of looking at things . Also, you have to take into consideration what is the best race during EACH tech. Naboo's about average in t1 and t2, among the best in t3, ok in t4, and sucks in post-t4. If used CORRECTLY, Naboo can compete well with the other races in post-t4. But since hardly anyone does use them that well, the point is moot. So, I can understand why some players don't like to use them. Req Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacherous Mercenary Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Just played one game with Naboo and must say that it does take skill afterall. I did manage to win though. The thing is, you can use the units such as artillary with some of the upgrades and win. If if the units are somewhat weak, upgrades help.....

Gaming Nut Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 You could have done the same thing wasier by using the trade fed adn heavy atrillry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris_crd Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I enjoy playing the different civs and I've learned that each civ takes a different approach to truely master. Naboo don't suck. They get huge nova bonuses plus they get an upgrade at tech 4 called "Taxation" which makes all units cheaper to build. I find that I can mass more units with Naboo. It's a huge bonus when you get both cheaper units and Nova bonuses. Yeah, the units are weaker but there is strength in numbers. Good Naboo players will support their ground forces with air, which happens to be strong. Naboo air is as good as the rebel's air. Not only that but Naboo have faster air units.
