I still think that the Republic's troopers are better. When you can send in twice as many troopers into battle as the Rebels, I think it is you that has the upper hand. All the rebels' troopers get is a hp boost, but the Republic gets hvy strike mech...  [Read More]

Is the Republic a newer, better version of the Rebels? Both civs have the exact same specialties- air, troops, and jedi. Now, the Republic clearly edges out the Rebels in troops and jedi, so the only case that can be made for the Rebels is in air uni...  [Read More]

Well, we all know that Starcraft was (is?) the greatest RTS of all time. So I think that if SWGB was modeled after the best RTS, it would have became the best RTS due to the 8 races, the star wars theme, etc. Anyway, it would have been nice if: 1) t...  [Read More]

I'm not sure if this would be possible on a patch, but I think that jedi should become more like spellcasters rather than combat units :cool: . I thought that this would be the case when I bought the game, but all that jedi get is Conversion. Here ar...  [Read More]

So, you guys prefer to use them outside your main base. I use them early on in a game, but later, I prefer the power core. PCs are far more sturdy and reliable than PDs. By then, 200 carbon is a cheap amount of resources to pay for a PC (only unless...  [Read More]

I noticed that there hasn't been much talk about power droids (that I've seen) since the expansion came out. I was wondering, how often do you guys use power droids? How many would you typically make during, say tech-1? Do you use them at all or do y...  [Read More]

Naboo's advanced engines upgrade states that it doesn't speed up air cruisers, only fighters and bombers (I pretty sure). Trade Fed and Confed air cruisers cost 630 food and nova instead of just 600. Thats a difference ... :rolleyes: . Also, I thi...  [Read More]

Republic Jedi cost 100 food and 200 nova. Now go check the price for gungan, empire, wookie, confederate, and trade fed jedi/sith. Theirs cost 100 food and 250 nova, get it?:rolleyes: The rebels and naboo also receive cheaper jedi....  [Read More]

Everytime I download a recorded game, I see their name and next to it .zip. So I save them to the "saved games" file of SWGB. But when I go to watch them in the game, they don't appear under the "saved games folder". I heard somew...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Jedi Dad I like that the jedi are a little cheaper to create now, but they could be just a touch cheaper (perhaps 25 - 50 less nova). In addition, I agree that bounty hunters chew them up for lunch. Bounty hunters usually are hi...  [Read More]

I gonna have to disagree with you on this one. I think that Jedi masters (not sith, they cost too much) can quickly turn the tide of battle and here's the reason why ... CONVERSION. If you have 10 masters on your side with support, you can quickly ta...  [Read More]

I remember in the original game they used to have an attack of 7. Back then, you could use them for an early tech-1 rush. Guess GG and company felt that sandcrawlers were too devastating for a tech-1 civ to handle (:confused: ). Not too useful anymor...  [Read More]

Then can't it be said that the Confederacy will take a little more skill to play with. No you can't just make 200 clonetroopers and call it a day. They are probably the best when you have a mix force backing each other up (so is any other race but es...  [Read More]

At least Destroyer Droids don't cost carbon. The problem is that the Trade Fed's strong suits, mechs, heavy weapons, and ships do require carbon except Assualt Mechs which are expensive anyway. Don't even think about using air or jedi with these guys...  [Read More]
