I know you are all mad at me but Gamespot is updated!!!!
I wasn't mad at you... thanks alot btw.
LOL, As I expected, the Gungans look awfully tough to stop
Were are the Gungan and Wookiee screens?!
Great! I loved the preview! Thanks porky! :D
Where are the correct screenshots!!!!
I was really disappointed by the preview. There were no new screenshots of gameplay or any closeup models of any of the units. It also looked like this guy didnt give any hands on advice. Looks like he spent about an hour and a half going through the tech tree, which we can do on our own, and just gave a review on what the numbers turned up as.
Maybe the build lucasarts gave them really didnt have wookies and gunans IN IT!! OMG WE ARE IN TROUBLE!! What if the game ships with Hutts and Ewoks instead?!?!? OH NOHS!!!
The problem is he doubled the last preview's screenshots.
The Gungan unique unit is the fambaa shield generator, those hulking sauropods in Episode I that carried shield generators on their backs to protect the Gungans from the battle droid blasters. These fambaas are extremely tough, with 20 armor added to ranged and melee attacks. Moreover, they of course have shields. This unique unit grants shields to all friendly units in a large radius, effectively doubling their hit points. In addition, shields regenerate over time, making any army under cover of fambaa shield generators a more resilient and tenacious foe than would otherwise be possible. Once upgraded, they become more monstrously powerful, with 25 armor and 100 more hit points, which actually works out to +200 hit points when you factor in the shield. This unit alone makes the Gungan army extremely strong and will probably be a staple of any Gungan general's army.
I have one simple comment upon this paragraph...OH CRAP!!!:eek:
As stated before, the Gungans are strong in mechs and ships. Mechs really are the backbone of the Gungan army. They have good hit points relative to the mechs of other civilizations, and they also are fairly strong. When you throw in the fambaa shield generator, Gungans are tough to dispatch. Gungans also are surprisingly strong in infantry. They get the entire lineup of infantry units, including repeater troops, advanced mounted troops, and heavy antiair troops. The last unit, antiair, is key, because one of the two glaring weaknesses of the Gungans is in air units.
Now say it again...OH CRAP!!!:eek:
BTW, new screens added
Gungans are severely handicapped when it comes to air units. They do get the full line of air units, but they don't get any tech level four air upgrades, so their fighters and bombers are less accurate than those of other civs--they have no shields, and they aren't as fast. Moreover, Gungan air units cost 5 percent more and take 5 percent longer to build. Because of their lack of air superiority, Gungan ground units are thus vulnerable to air attacks, and a mighty fambaa army will die helplessly against enemy fighters and bombers if no antiair escorts accompany them into base. So while the Gungans do have a decided strength in ground units, their air inferiority is a huge weakness.
THANK YOU!!! man...I got worried there for a minute (The GB superPower...GUNGANS:sweat: )
ALL SCREENS HAVE BEEN FIXED LOOK AT IT!!!
OMG! DID YOU SEE THE BERSERKERS?!?! AWESOMEEEEEE
CRAP THE LOOK LIKE UNITS OFF OF STARCRAFT...Hydraliscs or something like that...

No they don't! they BARELY look like the ultralisks.. and besides, the ultralisks were more like elephants, berserkers are more like two sworded ninjas.
Yeah Beserkers are "Bad Ass"
The Gungans seem like a very powerful Civ to use..

Awesome ain't it (tears of joy rolling down face)
BESERKERS RULE!!!

Armor-1/6
Beserker
HP-230
Hit Power-15
Armor- 3/3
Beserker without upgrades conquers a Jedi Master without upgrades:D (without converting)
All you have to look out for is HP...but remember you can research regeneration for the Beserkers:D
Self-regeneration makes all organic units except for workers regenerate wounds automatically and also gives all troopers +30 hit points and +2 armor
hehe yeah, the blob :D
Hey mister taliban, turn over bin laden! hehehe i just watched that...
Berserkers Rule!!! They're almost as tough as Jedi and are not so vulnerable to Bounty Hunters... combine Jedi Knights with Berserkers and repeater troopers for support... WOW!!! :eek:
Bah! Stop that, it's making me impatient :(
Also
In addition to having superior ground troops, the Wookiees dominate the skies. They get all air units but also get all air unit upgrades, meaning they get shields, improved accuracy, and thicker armor.
BTW,One area where Wookiees don't excel is in Jedi. They, like the Gungans, do not get Jedi masters. And like the Gungans, they get no Jedi technologies in the fourth tech level except for faith in the Force. who cares when you have the beserker army:D
Key Paragraph that will define this game...
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds should be hitting store shelves within the upcoming weeks. It promises to deliver real-time strategy gameplay as fun and diverse as that found in the original Age of Kings.
With six civilizations, all offering unique units, unique technologies, and different styles of gameplay, there should be something to entice every strategy gamer.
the four factions of GB
1)If you enjoy traditional ground offensives, you can go with the Wookiees or Galactic Empire.
2)If you want to stomp through bases with heavy mechanized assaults, the Empire and Gungans are available.
3)Gamers who want to try out Battlegrounds' air force, which adds a new element to the game, can play the Naboo or Rebels.
4)And of course, with Jedi in the game, there are yet more options to play with and master.
Where, Darthfergie, did you hear that wookies soley dominate the skies? I thought the Naboo and REbels did? Is it you who is confused or the fool that wrote the Gamespot previews? You prolly heard it from that guy but as i recall in the previous ones he said Naboo and Rebels are best at air. I will stick by my opinion that the civs that are strong at Mechs and Heavy Weapons will rule since this game is about taking ground and destroying bases and not defending or attacking star ships or death stars, so yes the Wookies prolly will suck and yes the Gungans, Empire and Trade Fed will own.

They won't totally dominate the skies...but they have ALL the techs for Air units that is all he is saying...
BTW, Wookies have an Artillery bonus so they will have better siege capabilities...they just won't be able to build Mechs well...
and you do know that Jedi Masters have the capability to take down At-ATs (without converting them)
so do Beserkers because of their regeneration and power:D
I believe when they said Jedi can take down an AT-AT without converting them is the fact that they can get up on it close and the AT-AT cannot attack at that close range, just like other tanks and turrets UNTIL you upgrade them. I believe the Imperials have a unique technology called Walker research or something that reduces the minimum range of their walkers and will prolly let the AT-AT's hit stuff that is relatively close to them. Did you know that a x-wing can single-handedly take out a Jedi? Did you know a Tuantuan can single-handedly take out an artillery? Did you know an anti-air trooper can single-handedly take out a Y-wing bomber? Did you know there will be a live actioin Scooby Doo movie? Just about every unit in this game has some kind of counter unit so there's nothing extraordinary about a Jedi taking out an AT-AT considering a Z-95 can do the same thing if the AT-AT doesnt have help.
Did you know there will be a live actioin Scooby Doo movie? :laughing:
The preview looks cool. I for one, am really looking forward to playing the TF.
Did you notice the screen that showed the close-up icon of the Gungan workers...they dont look like Gungans. THey look weirde and creepier than the Gungans...are they some kinda underling of the Gungans?
Who knows? I think they're cool looking..
