Guest BlueSenateGuard Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 :ewok Okay, so it's clear that the Yuuzhan Vong are the most popular for a possible future expansion pack. After all the debate sparked by my Ewok post (I asked the same question earlier in the official Lucasarts GB chat w/GarryG, but they didn't respond. However, they did respond to my indigenous life question, and my name appears in the transcript) we've come around to a more practical 3 or so civs rather than 6 more, plus some additional technologies, units, and perhaps a few unplayable races. So, the Vong and Mon Calamari are definitely in. What is our third species? Here are a few suggestions. If Sand People and Jawas are out, or used as indigenous life, how about a Tatooine moisture farmer civilization? I can see great culture opportunity (first Tatooine playables) with a comfortably adapted peacetime system. The war units shouldn't be too hard to drum up either (militia, armoured speeders, skyhoppers). and their primary enemies would be the Tuskens and Krayt dragons. This would be a light side civ. Somebody mentioned Trandoshans earlier. This would be a great counter to the Wookiees, I think. Definitely a dark side race. A Dathomir or Dagobah civ would be different from the others, and feature interesting Force opportunities, what with those Dathomir sith witches and all. Obviously dark side. Lastly, I really believe the Ewoks are a capable race for Galactic Battlegrounds. They have land infantry, archery, and slingers, nasty booby traps and saboteurs, heavy artillery, and light air bombers. They build complicated treehouses and have a cool religious/governmental system, and their tremendous advantage is in their freedom from fighting on the ground below; if the action's too hot, they just need to bomb 'em with rocks, arrows, and tree trunks until they surrender. The Empire was at their mercy during the Battle of Endor. I think they're just as capable as the Gungans, and a whole lot less annoying. Their only lacking catagory is navy power, but every civ's got to have a weakness in addition to its advantage. Now, what are the new technologies and units you think we need for the expansion?

Compa_Mighty Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Good Job Senate Guard!!! We needed this so we didn't have evreything everywhere. That's true, the Vong and the Mon Calamari should be in. For the third species I just got an idea. The Falleen. These guys(Prince Xizor from Shadows) have reptilian ancestors, where very advanced, until Vader destroyed them. Besides that would be a great campaign. The Empire vs. The Falleen, and the bonus mission could be the Falleen beating Vader instead. I would really like that, they are a powerful race (much more than Ewoks) they got good craft, (if you don't believe me, go play the last level of Shadows) like the Skyhook called The Falleen's Fist and the Star Viperswhich are the individual starfighters (equivalent to X-Wings).

Guest Boba Fett Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 What about the Hutts? They could make a really cool and powerful civilizaton too. . Think about it, armed sail barges and Jabba as a hero character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 How can you make a foot-troop out of the hutts? They didn't do anything, they hired people to fight. I would rather go to the Falleen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBOy Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Compa_Mighty, you could use slaves. the hutts had tuns of slaves. They even had their own slave race, the Klatooinians. mercenaries and gammoreans would work to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 How bout the black sun orginization, they've got plenty of unit and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 *Raises Hand* I still think you should wait and play it yourself before you talk expansion. Besides if you wanted an expansion you'd probably have to wait a few years and wouldn't that be fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Nah... not years, at the most probaly 1 year which still isn't that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clefo Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 About how cool this game is going to be OR discussing previews that are posted OR about what units should be on what side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Well I'd like Falleen or the Black Sun, anyway, I was thinking for a new planet for an expansion: Baroonda. That swamp planet looks pretty cool in Episode 1 Racer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 We should keep this thread on top, so the designers can read it, or ask the moderators to change it to the designers forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Yeah well I'm sure the have heard about all the expansions and stuff. I started one at jk.net, there is one at force.net. Don't worry they know about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Bespin-civ sounds ok. with guards, cloud cars, the whole Cloud City building-graphics.. ugnaughts as villagers... woohoo ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 I'd vote for the Empire, Rebels, Trade Federation, Royal Naboo, Gungans and Wookiees ... It's funny, talk in a AoM forum about an X-pack and people look at you as they've seen a Ghost ... cause there is no need for an X-Pack before the game is ready.
