Guest Rogue15 Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Will there be any awesome heavy artillery turrets, like in force commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Well, there will be ant-mech turrets, which i assumme will be similar to the heavy artillary in FoCom, but i don't know. They also will have anti-air and anti-personal turrets, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because if you remember in the screens just release they showed the HUGE Ion Cannon Turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoErat Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Check out the concept art for your answer. There are 4 classes of turrets, one for each tech level. No turret is specifically aimed at countering a certain unit class. They are just like Towers in AoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xwing guy Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Yeah as you upgrade your turrets from light, medium, and heavy they get stronger and more powerfull, and you of course have a anti air missle turret. The huge ion cannon is just something for the editor and the hoth mission to look at. It can't actually be built or used against other units.

Guest Thrawn Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Oh, no? See "the map!" It shows the ion cannon firing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Thrawn Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Wonder what it is shooting at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Originally posted by Thrawn Oh, no? See "the map!" It shows the ion cannon firing! Maybe it's a rebel wonder... or a superunit (i.e. Star destroyer bombardment)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Thrawn Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Could just be something they have to protect, like AT-AT's have to kill it too win, Rebels have to defend it till their transports arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Nilaar Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Rougue15 I find your sig WAY too depressing. I think of that enough on my own without having somebody else remind me of it. I spend most of my time trying to FORGET that very fact. Stop putting me in a bad mood;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZeroXcape Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 You can expect to see mulitple defensive posts that each have their own advantage/disadvantage. I'm sure everyone's favorite is going to be the anti-air defesive post as it can keep almost any aircraft out of the sky. One pretty sweet tactic is that you'll be able to garrison a few troops in medium sized defensive posts. Not only do they make the post stronger, but they also better protect your troops as well. In some cases, if an enemy comes in to attack: you can send everyone out and scare them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ZeroXcape Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Yes, they do significantly. Aside from that, the higher on the ground you place them, the farther they can see as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 I would first build up a wall and Defensive towers around my base. Then build lots of units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndSub Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 i do the exact opposite....if someone comes in with something long ranged your screwed.....while units can move...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very true. Even Castles are no match for Trebuchets...So that is why I use Cavalry:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thrawn Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I build up defenses and aircraft at the same time. Then if someone attacks me with heavy slow stuff, the turrets kill it. If they use long ranged stuff, then my aircraft kill it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 A stationary anti-tank ion turret would be so cool. I hope the civs (and not only the rebels) have infiltrators, or can the Jedi move in and chant at the vehicles to convert them too/as well (Grammar q: Is that "to" or "too")?
