Dagobah in GC

I have been playing Galactic Conques with the clones, and have so far I have conquered Tatooine, Mygeeto, Felucia, Coruscant, Naboo, Geonosis, Yavin and a couple others I can't remember. The enemy only has Dagobah, Polis Massa and Mustafar left. I attacked Dagobah with one of my fleets, using the Garrison bonus (when your reinforcement count gets to low it adds about 30 to it). Yet I simply cannot beat Dagobah. It is the only map I ever have problems with, and my teammates are so dumb that I always get down to one or two CP's with hordes of droids spilling in. I have been playing pretty well in my own opinion, certainly no worse than on other planets, but I cannot win, even with extra reinforcements. The enemy is using the energy boost bonus, which is pretty sad. Any ideas on how I can get past this swamp hell-hole?

What force do you use? Anyway, honestly, to tell you the truth, he have never lost on Dagobah. No matter who I'm facing I win, wether it's my friend or not. Usually Icall my troops over to take over command posts. I should any enemies are in site. Also, if you have did snipers available, then use the auto turrets. Well, I'll try to help..just tell me what parts you are having trouble with.

hero suck on dagoba, yoda is not good there (why did he ever hide THERE!!!!!)
the trick is to spawn realy fast, cap one of the CPs that the enemy would get in normal gameplay and then keep spawning there and make SURE taht you DON"T lose it at ALL costs!!!!! taht's all there is to it....

Actually, heroes don't suck there, well maybe for you, but not for me. There very helpful when your enemy has auto turrets. This level you might have to work more defensively than normally. Since, the command posts are very easy to capture.

I'm decent at that level.

It's important to take agressive action FAST! I love BF2 in that it encourages me to headshot with machine guns. The quicker you can kill something, the slower they will kill you. When you die, check if someone's nicking your post and spawn there. It's probably easier to kill enemies trying to come towards you then to cross the river to nick their posts, but it doesn't mean you can't try, but don't expect to push them back completely.

Autoturrents are a godsend.

I used to have problem there, until I embraced the dark side and joined the confederacy.
Just try to grab the ones we usually have, that is annoying.

You do realise that by Episode 3. The ConFeds are the good guys?

Anyway, anyone who values people so high they don't send them to fight is a good thing by me. (So is free trade, beer and the right to get lardy and not have some Jedi moan about my treatement of Twilek girls).

Well, actually in GC what you need to use in Dagobah is... Becta Tanks.

It keeps your stray AIs alive, and usually they wander into enemy terratory anyways.

Now start running around and claiming CPs. The ieda is:
1) make sure you have 3+ CP
2) make enemy have less than 3 CP, and let the detuctions hurt them

Also, ALWAYS turn enemy indicators on. You may not be able to see your enemies with your eyes, but the red diamond shows where they are. Spamming the lock button helps also, helps further pointing out the hidden guys. It makes head shot much much easier. Aim between the lock on sign and the diamond, you usually have a head shot, even when the foilage covers your mark!!

Darth Alec, I don't really want to get into an "Evil" debate. I recall some poetry about a Nazi conc. camp officer who was really kind and gentle to his loved ones and a shiny example of modern day fatherhood...except he had a penchant for gassing Jews.

It's all "realtive" :P
--------------------------------------

Poiuyweird, good tactic. Autoturrents aren't too bad either. I find camping the health bots is really helpful and the targeting indicators are a GODSEND!

Odd, when I use the clones it usually the first place I conquer. The key I always use is get autoturrets, they help alot. And also capture and hold both the big tree and the crashed gunship. that usually works.

I find the hardest place to keep hold of is the command post that has the sunken X-Wing. Though in the end, I win.

Ok, no evil debate.
Dagobah is kinda difficult. Try to get a group around you to help, they are more usefull then the other ones, since they follow you around. This helps on all maps.

Yes....make sure you have an army to help you. And strafe a lot, so you can avoid blaster fire.

Note, enemies come in waves, sort of. And most likely surviving AIs are plentiful, and in mid-health... give them becta tanks! Also, you can "transplant" AIs. Ask them to follow you, and dump them when you take a new spot so they do the defend. They can hold up a wave or two, with the new spawns. You then go after a spawn behind enemy line. Enemies usually don't make taking them back the first piority, and your friendly spawns will slowly annoy the computer... allowing your friendly meatbags more time to regenerate health.

Also, remember your selection of troops is important. DON'T Recuit snipers and heavys (unless you really want to play them), since AI sucks at them. IA snipers camps at unnecessary places sometimes way behind in friendly areas, and they can't hit vehicles well with heavys, usually end up pistoling with regular grunts anyways. Recuit special classes cause AI will use them even at the start of the level, and that they seem to have infinite number of buffs. Oh, 90% of the time computer is using pistols with Jumppackers, so leave those at home also.

Try this. If you buy a Hero for the bouns, you are able to play as him when you first spawn. Also try using the block button so you do not deplete so fast. If you have AI taking a CP and you're there with them, run off and kill some units. Try getting used to the Engineer class, the Detpack and health and cannon are quite useful at times.

If you were to give one tip on how to come out ahead when it's 43-1 what would you advise?

And was Auto-Aim on?

A few things I can think of on Dagobah, which I almost never have problems with (Felucia always seems to be a sticking point for me):

1)Keep an eye on what happens with CP2 (the one in the cave). If it seems to fall to the enemy a lot, try defending it yourself a bit. Mines and detpacks should be highly effective as the cave entrance is fairly narrow.

2)If garrison isn't working you may want to consider some other options for your bonus. Have you tried maybe autoturrets? I've found that on maps where I have trouble (especially Felucia) that always seems to work well.

3)Enemy indicators are definitely a good idea. This map (and Felucia) have funky vegetation so you can't always see people until they're right up on you.

Heros are a blessing....
yes, Dagobah is a bit difficult for the republic, the AIs are so dumb...
Yet, yoda is really short and he can breath underwater.....
I hid in the river and kill any droids that cross it.
And about Felucia, I find it extremely easy with hero.

So, spam your hero when you have problems.

don't capture the cp's that are undergrond. if the enemy has only those and you have the ones above ground, it sets up a devastating choke point for them that absolutely rips them apart. even those clones that are usually assigned to wall guarding (or in this case, broken LAAT or tree guarding) get in on the action, and a thermal detonator will guarantee you a couple of kills if you lob one in :)
Hope commander obi-wan and daddyboom make up soon :)
