When I play with the computer as my ally, I essentially use them as a decoy. I don't waste any resources on trying to protect him. I let him absorb the attacks that would have been directed at me. When my computer partner is destroyed (as it always i...  [Read More]

I forgot to add that every defense post requires bounty hunter protection. At the start of level 3, I build my fortress behind the defense post and immediately pump out 2 bounty hunters per defense post. Jedi/Sith are notorious for surviving a ridicu...  [Read More]

Map Strategies I have found that certain maps provide advantages over the computer that makes beating them much easier. I usually play a regular game at medium level with max pop 150 against 1 or 2 opponents. In this article, I refer to a "de...  [Read More]

Well, if you want to end the game fairly quickly, just do a simple tower rush. This only works against the computer, of course. While researching level 2, send a worker to an Ore or Nova right near the enemy base, but be sure to stay out of line of...  [Read More]

Something else I just thought of is the fact that I always pay for upgrades to my resource buildings before I upgrade my defenses. For instance, I upgrade the carbon processor and animal shelter before I upgrade the troops to a higher level. In this...  [Read More]

Well, here I go, trying something new. Teams, 2 vs. 2, hard level, I'm the Trade Federation, computer controlled the rest. I've played 1 on 1 often enough, now, and medium has lost its challenge. First Game I gather my resources, build a protective...  [Read More]

... but, I've already tried all that you said. I tried sending a pack of 4 masters along with a small group of about 3 SM, 3 AA, and 2 DM. The Jedis' usefulness is still limited. Plus, this game is best played with as little micro-management as poss...  [Read More]

Well, I tried the Jedi thing again. I made 6 nicely upgraded Masters and attempted to use them. Whenever I tried to turn units that were coming at my base, the turrets and guards toasted them first. So I go out with this group of Jedi and a small ban...  [Read More]

Honest to goodness, on that particular game, we never exchanged shots. His troops never came near my base and I never ventured near his. I always play Random Maps or Savannah. I thought winning conditions just meant beating the tar out of him or hav...  [Read More]

It's always on 1 vs. 1 against the computer on moderate level. I usually capture 3 or 4 of the 5 holocrons. I've only won 3 times from having all 5 holocrons and the computer didn't give up then. My guess is that it keeps slaughtering its forces on m...  [Read More]

I found a problem with the defend and build strategy while playing the computer. That is the strategy where you build up defenses first to fight off opponent attacks and then build a large bad guy-stomping army. Last night, for the first time, I tri...  [Read More]

I like to build tower defenses, as well. At level 2, I built the Jedi temple and war center. At level 3, I built the fortress near my tower blockade (it adds firepower and pumps out both bounty hunters and special troops) and the research center. I...  [Read More]

Garrisonning troops in towers also can fool human opponents (the computer doesn't care) into thinking that part of your base isn't as well defended. When they start attacking the "undefended" side of your base, kick them out of the towers f...  [Read More]

How do you stop Jedi from turning your troops at your base or cutting down your towers? Build bounty hunters as soon as you build your fortress and station them inside the towers. I might be wrong but as far as I can tell, it makes it easier for them...  [Read More]

The thing about cannons that I like so much is if you have 4-5 of them firing at the same building, it only takes 1 - 2 shots and it's gone. Man, I love mass destruction *evil grin*. Last game I played, I greatly enjoyed using cannons to destroy ever...  [Read More]

Pummels are good at what they do and, from what I've heard, are an excellent tool when used for pummel drops. On the other hand, I've been toying with cannons (made by the fortress) and maybe it's my imagination but it seems like 4 cannons can level...  [Read More]

In my opinion, the turret rush (building some turrets right near the enemy base) is such an assured game-winner that I have already stopped doing it. Since I like a challenge, I am practicing the defend and build strategy. To me, the rush (against th...  [Read More]
