I havent tried it yet but, going to. ok here it is. around every bldg. build a wall (with space to move around in) around it. then put a power core in the center edge of one of the walls. put & connect all your major bldgs to make one big square (you could fit 9 bldgs around the center block) then in the center put your shield generator. then put laser & anti turrets in each corner of each box. Then around the total package put up a wall around the whole thing. I thought it might work. Of course you would also need to wall off your workers that are gathering resources for you. do you think it would work?

it would work however in multiplayer by the time you have built your walls the other player would have about 20 bounty hunters and 20 mechs coming your way. but if you play against the computer it will proberly work.
In the senario editor i will make a little city for mself surrounded by advanced walls. inside the city will be the housing section and recorces's section and the millatary section, outsidethe walls i would have my army of mechs and troops but inside forts i would have my jedi and bounty hunters. all protected by anti aircraft turrets.

somehow i get the feeling your fortress would be smashed by a couple of ATAT's (which would be built by the time you have that complicated base up).

a big enough air-attack would do the trick as well..

takes too long to make because if you were to do it, someone would have most likely blitzed you. You would also use up so much ore I don't think you could mine it that fast...

ok. well also a little info that i didnt share with you is that my friends and i usually dont even start attacking each other till about an 1 1/2 hrs. into it. due to all of us liking the defense startegy. so, with that info do you think it would work?

thanks

That changes things a bit !
But still, you would need an big army of yourself for additional defense, cause those few towers that could shoot at an enemy at any given time aren't enough !!!
Imagine him coming from a corner, so maybe 2 of your "fortresses" could fire at any attacker .

Li'l tip : don't forget the shield generator in the complexes' middle ....:cool:

The best defense is a good offense. The problem you always run into is, you are limiting yourself to the resources in your base. Your opponent has the entire map to collect resources with. Eventually you will run out and he will win.

In the full game there will also be cannons that can far outrange any defenses.

i kind of agree and disagree with you emo. a good, persistent offense is a good defense, but an actual defense will win games for you.

and yes you are rite, he is limiting himself to resources, and you should always scout your opponent first so that you don't have to waste resources when your opponent isn't planning on attacking in the first place...

good strategy, but if you play all defense, you will never win because you will just rebuild until you are out of resources.I was hoping they would make the amount of ore and nova in deposits higher, but they didn't. They only raised ore by 100.

Turrets are another story, but the usefulness of walls is greatly diminuished with air units and almost everyone attacking from afar

My normal defence tactic is to block all major ways the enemy could get into the base, and the put A-A turrets near important structures.

Walls are great. Means you can delay an attack. Tech 4, you can get shielded walls :)

I THINK IT WOULD TAKE TOO MUCH TIME AND TOO MUCH ORE.: ore:

I actually think walls are a good idea. Unfortunatly too many walls is bad. I once built lots in AoK and didn't have enough stone to repair or build castles and towers. It depends on how you use it.

You wouldn't have enough ore to build a base that complex, and it would take a very long time to move any troops from one side of the base to the other.

yah... i concur with the rest, the base probably would take up too much time..

your enemies would have got their army ready by then, and your trroops would almost be non-existant
