I think the Gungans and Trade Fed got the best special unique units, and i think the rebels got the worst. The snowspeeder is boring and is the same as an air unit but it doubles as a detector is all.

the snowspeeder will be a much better unit in the final game where you can upgrade it.
but my favorit would have to be the wookies! and worse is perhaps the naboo but i still realy like that one!

The snowspeeder sucks. All it can do is scout, and detect, it's no where near powerful enough to destroy mechs...


The Gungans have the best special unit... it's a mobile shield!

The Gungans have the best unique unit, but the Naboo's units is also very useful.

i suppose the naboo unit is usefull against mechs and units but it is close range.
Does the gungan famba shield have high hitpoints?

Hmmmmm, I'd say the best is the gungan faamba shield. But strong melee units are very usefull in this game so the berserker and royal crusader are not really far behind. The droideka and the dark trooper are strong ranged units and fairly hard to counter but both their repective civs are already strong in units like that so I'd say they are less usefull than the two melee ones. The least useful is probably the airspeeder. It's not thaaat much better than normal fighters and is more expensive. But, if you are facing a mech heavy civ, its not bad to have.

Like everyone else ... I think the Gungans have the best unique unit ... because it's unique.

Airspeeder is just an air unit
Dark Trooper and Destroyer droids are just troops
Naboo knight is just a mounted trooper
Berserker is just a melee trooper.

They might be more special than the regulars ... but not as unique as the fambaa.

The imperials special units isnt that bad, it like a walking mech. The more mechs the better i think.

The imp one is basically a cheap effective troop with lots of health and it also can detect jedi. Its a mass produced-type weapon, unlike something like the gungan or naboo special guys :eek:

Yeah i did notice that the Dark Trooper was surprisingly cheap. But i guess after all it is just a trooper. Still its pretty good and the bonus is that while its kickin butt it can detect things too. The Droideka is a very cool and unique unit..its a shield generated mech...can it get any better than that?

I think the Droideka fires really fast, which would be handy against heaps of low hit point units:)

Actually the Destroyer Droid is classified as a strike mech type unit

Yes the Destroyer Droid is A High hp shieled strike mech that deals more damage to infantary and fires faster. What more can you ask for ?

By the way, I don't think you can determine a civ's actual strenght just 'cause of it's unique unit .

I think that the Rebels Jedi and otherwise strong air force will make up for it's not allmighty unique unit ....
