saberhagen Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Like all the civs in SWGB, they're well balanced, so that no one civ is inherently better than any other. Ideally you should learn to play with all the civs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Yeah, you really should play with all the civs, otherwise they'll start throwing tantrums. Once, i didnt play the Royal Naboo for quite a while and they went on strike, i had to give them a 5% pay increase just to shut them up... Seriously though the manual and in-game info tells you who is better at what, basically the Republic is strong in Jedi and Infantry, and Confederacy are strong in Mechs and Infantry. I think.

Jango_Fett_UK Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 well i do think the republic is a well ballanced force but the only problem is that their mechs are a pit slow but good fire power but jedi are the heart or a army but the confed are awsumly relaint on mechs and troops but not much of a fan in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 One thing, don't use air cruisers, they suck.period. Second thing, both Republic and Confederacy have strenghts and weaknesses. However, never forget to exploit your civ's weaknesses as much as its strenghts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Confederacy has Stronger Troops But Republic can make their normal l;aser troopers better while the confedreacy has all troopers stronger so the upgrade is more cost effective the confederacy has better than average mechs not the best but better than average they do have the BEST heavy weapons in the ENTIRE game however. and then they get an economic tech in tech 4 which really allows them to powerhouse while the republic gets an air cruiser speed upgrade and better med droids which i don't think anybody ACTUALLY uses so it's up to you but the confederacy are more effective wehn used correctly and are really an Clone Wars Grade Rebel Alliance in terms of strengths and weaknesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Alright: 1- Confederacy do have stronger troopers but Republic can pump their troopers out with incredible speed. 2- Confederacy Heavies aren't the best. They only have the best AA mobile that's all. Gungan, Trade Federation and Wookiee heavies are overall better. The republic has the heavy advantage of Jedi Master(they are too strong for a cost too low). You can pump out masters and convert a lot of things on the way. Although both civs are well balanced, a Master civ seems to have the advantage a lot of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Wow, Windu's on a funny streak... Its really which ever one fits you best. The Confeds don't really get much of their strength until t3 and t4, whereas the Reps start off pretty strong, and don't really get weaker.

lukeiamyourdad Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 He has changed man you can't blame the guy for changing. Like the Trade Fed is kind of the best example. They are the best early game civ buit later one they do have a tendency to get slightly weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I DEFINETLY agree on the masters being too cheap though i find though that Confderacy Repeater Super Battle Droids when fully upgraded. Are an effective counter more effective than bounty hunters anyway just put up a sentry post and surround it with the Super Repeater Battle Droids. They do work i held off and invasion force of 200 jedi with them i just had a few troop centers near by my army was replensihed must faster for a smaller cost evtualy my enemy was so darained he fell easily to the force of assault mechs i'd began to build. Heavy Weapons ARE VERY USEFUL that goes without saying i usually have to resort to siege warfare and instead of overloading the defnces it's cheaper, just to siege the place. Confederacy Artillery seems to have better range and a smaller gap in between volleys and firing a few extra shots per minute can make or break. NEVER underestimate any aspect of the game even the weakest air civ can score an airborne victory if deployed right ALL experienced gamers know something like that it's the player that uses them that decides how good the civ is. Also it's only the laser troopers that come out faster while the Confederacy gets all their troopers upgraded not just laser troopers i would rathr have a stronger army than an army that comes out to fast that i can't deploy it effectiveley. That Tech is easily balanced out if you build more troop centers. The Confederacy is one of the best in tech 4 I think their economy really starts to boom especially with Geonosian Dilligence which is important in a tech level where a lot of units cost a lot of resources. The Geonosian wearrior i will admit is crap i usually use em for airborne scouts or harrasment of troop convoys or workers. They aree a bit cheaper the confedearcy air so they sometimes worth it.

Sithmaster_821 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Umm..Viceroy, don't want to critisize you again (my sig is long too), but maybe you could not have a space between each of your sayings in your sig, or use a smaller font or something, cause your sig nearly takes up the entire page.

Jango_Fett_UK Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 soo soo far its the republic winning (exellent) and the only problem is that most of the confed army is built around mechs but thats a good thig is it because say im fighting the confed with the republic and they got a loada mechs and quite a few troops but i have loads and loads of troops but few mechs but my advantage the AIR forces are probably the best chance i got fighting the confed? well keep descussing it oh yeah as darth windu said sumtimes do have to play other civ's to but i hate being the gungans and wookies but im ok with the rest seems i play the emipre and the trade alot then its the alliance and the naboo I HATE GUNGANS!

lukeiamyourdad Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 hmmmm... Air is a definite advantage but this is a confed vs. republic thread so I won't mention the trade fed. The confed do have the best AA mobile(if fully upgraded) in the whole game so perhaps an Air only force is a bad idea. You can mass up troopers all you want but AA mobiles and Geonosian Warriors will decimate your clones. It's very constructive to say I hate Gungans;) Viceroy-Sith is right your sig is f*****' long. Most of your points are good except for the fact that confed artillery shoots further which is not true because wookiee artillery has the longest range not confed.

Jango_Fett_UK Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 well no air superiortiy for me wen i face the confed:( But another question is do the confed who stride all exellency towards their mechs have good mechs? well the dwarf spider droid i.e the strike mech is slow but kool:P the best thing the republic is their ability to create troopers with incrediable speed and eficancy but they do have the tendancy to have a army of all troops which isnth a bright idea seemins you neefd heavy weapons and mechs to support them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Please Quote Where I Say That There Range Is Superior To The Wookies I Never Say Those Exact Words. And Also Jango Proves My Point About Your Average Gamer Hating The Gungans I Think I Might Put Up A Poll I Hope Gamers On The Zone Answer It Since I Consider Them The Ones Who Have The Right And Them Alone To Decide On The Civs Not People Who Have Never Played On The Zone.

Admiral Vostok Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Well that's nice, isn't it! Just because our computers are too old or our connections too slow to play on the wonderful Zone suddenly we are totally incapable of telling whether Gungans are good or not. Or maybe, as in my case, we have a group of friends who share our love for Galactic Battlegrounds who we prefer to play against rather than with strangers on the Zone. Windu must be so glad you've come to join our forum, Viceroy, because suddenly the stuff he says doesn't seem so dumb. (Sorry Windu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 ...i'm gonna go cry now... seriously though, i dont think anything ive ever said was stupid, just a little misguided at times. Also, Viceroy, was the nickname 'Master of Disaster' given to you by your English teacher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I'm not saying anything like that ALL i'm saying is that a large group of gamers like the zone should have the final say of what goes in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Windu- Eh you've changed lately. Or is it just Viceroy's shadow that hides you? Viceroy- What tells you the Zone players represents a larger group then the non-zone players? This isn't BF1942 or Galaxies, games that have been made exclusively for Multiplayer. Single Player is played by a very large group(if not larger then the multiplayer one). Oh only zone players have the right to decide how thing should be done? What's next? Women shouldn't have the right to vote? Non-white people should have no rights and be considered inferior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I completely aree with you luke. Viceroy - so you are saying that just because i have better things to do than play SWGB online, i shouldn't have a say on what goes into a sequel? That is an incredibly arrogant and self-serving statement, even from you, and personally i am rather offended by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Also, Viceroy, was the nickname 'Master of Disaster' given to you by your English teacher? Sorry again, Windu, I never really thought everything you said was dumb, and the above quote proves that much of what you say nowadays is far from it. Even if you once were "misguided", you haven't been for a while, even before Viceroy the Forum Nazi (herding non-Zone players into concentration camps).

DK_Viceroy Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I Never said anything about it being ZONE exclusive just not having the final say from a biased group seems better. Usually groups of people only single other people out when they know that that person is right. ALL i merely want is that the Wants of the majority should out weigh the wants of the minority meaning that a poll should be put up somehwere an independant poll on anohter site maybe on lucas arts site where it has simple clear cut choices there's too many blurry lines around here like it says in my sig it's all one way or another. YOU cannot truly make a good game if your uncertain you need to have definite clear cut ideas that don't change every 2 secinds someone attempts to put you down or make you feel like your something someone stepped in.

Darth Windu Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Viceroy - do you realise that here, you are the minority, and so by following your own advice, we should ignore your views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Only Here Windu Am I in the minority outisde this forum I am in the majority many people think there should be EU civs they were going to post but after seeing you and vostok in your frequent cat fights were put off posting to a bunch of people that'd turn on eahc other for their own interests. Many People think there should be more civs like i've said earlier a lot more than new units buildings and a few yweaks can constitue as a new game only as an exapnsion pack and those usually have at leawst 1 new civ.

DarthMuffin Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Cmon guys, we're all friends here viceroy - If a game is not mp only (mp only = galaxies, wow, etc.), the producers have to develope their game according to single players, even if they're a minority. Beleive it or not, but single player is really important to any game, and there are still people who don't have Internet. Before I got Internet, I was damn glad that bliz included a good campaign and a good AI in starcraft. I also think your sig is long... remove the space between the lines! (for once, I agree with sith) Anyways, I think the reps and confeds are both nice to play with. I won't bring many new elements, since everything has already been said, but IMO, it goes like that : Reps : masters --- convert stuff --- piss enemy off with air --- mass troopers Confeds : Tech --- piss enemy w/ air (it doesn't matter if it's good or not, everybody's equal at T3) --- mass artileries and troopers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
