Shield Tactics

[Lord JayVizIon]

exactly. getting into a shield can buy that damaged unit time and allow you to make a unit quite a bit more devastating...

Better then, you build a Fortress inside the shield!!!

 

Oh yeah!

Air units probably own sheilds. Just fly over to it and kill the power generators and BAM! No more sheilds. Incoming AT-AT's!!! "Target maximum firepower!" BOOM

I think you overestimate the potential power of shields... with sufficient firepower, someone can actually destroy a shield while the power generator is still active..

and simply putting troops inside the shield (remember EP 1?) is an effective way to stop it as well...

it's not that solid a defence in my opinion..

thats true but the shield was for the gungans who arent exactally the most advanced civ, but then there was also the rebel shield on hoth that lasted about 5 minutes

[Guest Thrawn]

One thing for sure. You will need alot of anti-air by your shields, because I'm sure they'll be prome targets for aircraft.

Droideka the rebels on Hoth didn’t have full planetary shielding (shielding that covered the whole planet) they also didn’t have Full particle shielding, which allowed ATATs to be dropped, and a ground assault was started

 

And a quick question so are shield just health/armor modifiers? I.e. just increase health and/or armor of a unit or can they be used as a mobile wall? I.e. you can put them up and people can’t come into the protected area of the shielding then you can build up under the shielding uninterrupted until the shields come down?

I believe that they only increase hp of your units, and not act like walls (which is why they have walls in the game)

[Guest Tie Guy]

If they acted like walls then how could you ever get through one? That would be way to unfair, especially with the Fambaas.
