...but a bomb that will be blown away by a droideka nonetheless.

I'm for the droideka's; they are rumoured to have the most awesome animation of the game !

I'm willing to bet Snowspeeders will be the most effective special units since everybody and their brother is gonna want to build AT-AT's!
 Tie Guy

Yeah, the speeders do seem really good, and they will be even better if you are playing against mech players.

BTW, i'm not gonna want ATATs at first, and i can assure you that my brother won't either. :D

yeah but at whatever point you and your brother pick AT-ATs my above statement will be correct...also, lets not overlook Famba shield generators. It looks like they will work a lot like arbiters did in Starcraft. I for one found arbiters extremely usefull for defense with Reavers and attacking with carriers... Every time i played with Protoss i always had a sigh of relief when i was finally able to build arbiters...I made sure i had arbiters before i had dark templar or dark archons...im sure the shield generator will work in much the same way and will thus be a very, very important unit for Gungans!:D

i agree with you totally. faamba generators could be the dark horse in this game, but i gotta stick to my homeboys, the wookies and their berserkers....

i think the wookie beserker is going to be like the viking berserker and couldn't get much out of those. i'll stick with the faamba and destroyers.

u r right darth maul Jr.
The Faamba walking shield generator may prove the most useful and deadly.:cool:

i'm sure you do ferg, too bad you won't :D

Anyways, i don't think that the Beserkers will be the same as the viking Beserkers. The viking ones were good at attacking buildings, if you hadn't noticed. The wookiee beserkers are gonna be great melee units for attacking troops, and maybe mechs. See the difference?

I heard that the royal night was some kind of mounted melee unit I think.

It's not mounted, but your half right ;). It's supposed to be great against jedi...

I agree with you about the berserkers...they died so fast in combat just like the other units that i never got to see the benefit of that regeneration. I'd rather have a unit with powerful attack or lots of armor.

How do you know it's not mounted they don't have screens of it yet.:confused:

yeah, aren't knights usually mounted? It would be cool if tehy were really fast and mounted, and have powerful melee.

I think there is a screenshot:

The orange soldiers (I believe) are Naboo Royal Knights (or however they're called) or maybe the Mounted ones.. or maybe none of them.. well, we'll have to wait

Destroyer Droids because they have mini shield generators like in Episode 1 vs the Jedi.

No, the troopers are just regular troops and missle troops, and the mounted units look just like regular mounted units. Remember, those shots came out a while ago, before Mr. Fixit went to test. And he said that the knight wasn't finished yet, so i doubt that is them.

Famba Shiled Generators and Rebel Snowspeeder.

also, what exactly can the snowspeeder do? can it take down at-ats with its tow cables? is it a really fast scout? :) or both of those and more?

it's an anti mech unit.

go to the "user cp" button on the top of the browser, then go to the "edit options" menu on that page. Then go to the "change avatar" button near the bottom of the page and pick or upload one.

And yes, the snowspeeder is an all-around mech killer, not just for the ATAT. I also presume it will be fairly fast.

on the main forumsite-screen, click on 'cp profile', then on 'edit options'. At the bottom of the screen you'll be able to upload your own avatar or use one from a list..

And if you want a cool one go to my site (click on the banner)

I think the Destroyer Droids seem the coolest...but the Faamba Sheilds are probably going to be the most useful.

HEROES WILL BE THE MOST USEFUL!!!!!

Snowspeeder sounds good for getting blasted out of the sky by the TIE Defenders(that I want but I am constantly denied:( )

While TIE Defenders do rule, I think they're going to have enough TIE variations in there(Fighter, Bomber, Interceptor?). Snowspeeders will probably waste mech's but other then that I don't think they'd be that great. The Faamba's on the other hand strenghten all troops within its radius so thats why I think it's probably the most useful of the special units.

I really don't know how much i would use the Fambaa. It seems good and all, but i think i'd rather have a weapon with a strong attack for my Special Unit, not one with a strong defense.
 Gamma732
08-26-2001, 6:09 PM

I don't know how much I'd se the Faamba either....the Gungans aren't one of my fav's ;)

Well, if you ask me, a strong diverse army will beat an army of 1 unit usually......even if the one units really powerful. The Faamba seems to be the most benificial to the most units.

The Faamba sheild generator. Its the best defense because it moves, better than the other sheild generators. The besat defense is a good offense.

Thats only if you have other troops with the fambaa.

Don't you mean "the best offense is a good defense" ? The way you had it, you wouldn't like the fambaa, coz it doesn't have any offense.

hmmm, i was hoping for something different for rebs :( when i heard it was Snowspeeder i was a bit dissapointed.. i was hoping for i dunno... a B-wing... or maybe a bothan spy?
 Gamma732

Bothan spy......that would be a good unit for an xpack. If they made the xpack to coincide w/the EU. I'd imagine it being similar to the spies in RA2.

Yeah, I thought the Snowspeeder was a little anti-climactic too.

I think the snowspeeder fits perfectlyl with the rebels. (you can't play a true hoth mission with out it. I think that is why they put it in, they wanted to give fans a chance to play Hoth.
