Ready Wan Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 Is anyone working on stat sheets that detail each unit, like the ones that were made for AOK? Captain Kidd's Civ Scorecard was a HUGE help when playing random civs....is anyone working
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 What's a 'stats sheet'? Do you mean things like units attack, hitpoints and shields? If you do, check out our Civilisation section. It's the ONLY section in the SWGB community to have info on SWGB & Clone Campaigns. DMUK http://www.galacticbattles.com/civilizations
Ready Wan Posted May 29, 2002 Author Posted May 29, 2002 Yes this is in line with what I was looking for. thanks! In Age of Kings there were some statistics sheets made for printing and easy comparison with other units (build times, cost, HP, Armor, etc). Is there anything like this?
D'Blee Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 The thing is with SWGB, though, that the stats as they appear on screen are not particularly informative. Even more so than in AOK, the bonuses that every unit gets vs. every other unit are the really important thing - and almost every single unit gets a bonus of some sort against everything else. I don't intend any offence at all to DarthMaulUK or to his site, which is well put-together and which helped immeasurably in sating my lust for Clone Campaigns (it only came out here in Japan last week). However, unlike Age of Kings and Conquerors, SWGB and CC and their accompanying documentation seem to have been designed to be technically opaque and inaccessible; there is very little meaningful data visible between the manual, the in-game tech trees and the game itself. Possibly LucasArts intends players to get an instinctive "feel" for the relative strengths and weaknesses of the units through playing the game a lot, rather than through poring over lists of numbers. It's a bit annoying though. You look at the hps and shields of, say, an Air Cruiser, and at those of a fighter, and it's a bit of a shock when the AC doesn't weather AA fire much better than the fighter. In any case, a table of pre-CC unit bonuses can be found at MrFixit, here: http://www.rtscentral.com/readPosting.asp?PostingId=654570 These apparently took the guy 32 hours of work, though, so don't hold your breath waiting for a CC update...
Ready Wan Posted May 29, 2002 Author Posted May 29, 2002 thanks D'Blee! That is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.....hopefully someone will update the statistics for the CC changes. CC really changed everything, and at least for me, made the game interesting and fun (it's sat on the shelf since the first week I bought it way back when). I personally LIKE to pour over stat sheets to get a mental image for strategies and ideas. -rw
Kryllith Posted May 30, 2002 Posted May 30, 2002 Is there a place where the various mounted troopers and unique units are listed in your Civilization section, DarthMaulUK? I found the Fambaa generators under gungan heavy weapons, the A-wing was in the Rebel air (but not the Speeder). I didn't look at all the civilizations, so I don't know if other unique units are missing (or if the ones I couldn't find like mounted troopers were presented in only some of the civilizations).
