I'm really looking forward to play all this civs, but I like this civ in pearticular. However, is the droideka any good? It costs quite a bit of nova and I see nothing incredible special untill phase 2 when it gets shields. Am I missing something or is that it?
Shields...when you play the demo and see how valuable shields are. Plus its cannons fire faster than ordinary units. And it is faster than ordinary units (it rolls)
They had shields in the movie, they still should, giveing them higher hp and they were very powerful, so they should have a higher attack.
I think that they also have a fast rate of attack, kinda like the Chinese Chu Ko Nu in AOK.

Yeah...hadn't thought of that...
My favourite Unit.
The hvy Destroyer Droid
Un Upgraded
hitpoints 85. Shields 85. Attack 8 . Armour 2/6 . Range 6.
With all Mech upgrades available to the Trade Federation
Hitpoints 156. Shield 156. attack 12. Armour 5/10. Range 9.
I can't see this unit being weak at all more like super strong and fast. blaster armour and there shield will make them almost if not ammune to most infantary and strike mechs. They will however most likely get stomped out of existence by mech destroyers.
To every unit there's a counter-unit, so expect SOMEONE to be able to smash that Destroyer real fast..
Never depend on one unit too much..
Unless they are ATAT's and you're not playing against Rebels.. :D

This is a topic that has confused me for quite some time. Will fortress units, like the Destroyer droid, get the mech upgrades??? Does it count as a mech unit? The same can be asked of a dark trooper. Does it get trooper upgrades??? I think this is a major question, I actually think they dont get the upgrades
I've been wondering that too....
Guess I should build some Dark Troopers and THEN upgrade my troops to see if there's any stat changes. Time to experiment;)
Troop center upgrades do affect dark troopers :eek:
Yes upgrades do effect the uu's (Dark Trooper) just like the upgrades of aok effected the uu units.

Thats just because they can't attack air units
yeah why wouldnt they b considered mechs they are mechanical;)
I think mechs are too weak accept for the AT-ATs .:)
why does everyone think that the AT-AT is powerful?? every civ also have their own mech destroyer...
i wouldn't put too much faith in the At-At during a game, it's definitely gonna be countered by something else
