Sea units are not obsolete. I was playing against someone on a river map (I think) and I was doing pretty good until he sailed in 10 adv cruisers with Naboo fighters for air support. I forgot what a long range those things had. he destroyed almost ha...  [Read More]

A little prevention can go a long way. Build sentry posts or put some units on patrol that way you'll see him building it. If he still builds outside your sight at least the base will be further away. If you view his buildings as behind the fortress...  [Read More]

Personally I think power cores and shields add a lot more to the game tacticaly than air units. It does change a lot of tatics though. Walls don't make you invincible anymore (which is good because shield walls are WAY to tough) and you can't get awa...  [Read More]

Snowspeeders get a big attack bonus against mechs so AA mobiles aren't a good idea. Heavy AA troops and advanced fighters are your best bet. I also think they can be converted by Jedi Masters....  [Read More]

The stats are correct they're taken from v1.1 of the game (not that they're different in v1.0). If you compare base unit stats the DD is much better than the Strike Mech but the TF doesn't have all the troop upgrades. That the allows the Strike Mech...  [Read More]

A lot of people on this board seam to like Hvy Destroyer Droids. I've even had people yell at me for not making them when I'm the TF. Lets compare the stats of a fully upgraded Hvy Driodeka to a fully upgraded Hvy Strike Mech. Hvy Destroyer Droid HP...  [Read More]

I always have between 20-25 workers before upgrading to T2. That usualy lets me cruise through T2 in just a few min. It also helps to be fast, meaning your ready for your next worker to come out and give it something to do. I've seen people let 2 or...  [Read More]

I always build walls when I'm against the computer and almost never against other players. Against the computer I build walls as soon as I hit T2. I usually try to just fill in the gaps in the terrian like at the shallows on river maps ect. because t...  [Read More]

For a Jedi to be effective they require a lot of micromanagement and they're too expensive to be used half-assed. I use the Rebel's Jedi and I also use Naboo's because they don't have much else. However I like the +3 turning range of the Rebel's bett...  [Read More]

If you destroy most of the computers workers and resources it will surrender, even if it's Commander is still alive. I have never had the computer surrender prematurely, in fact just the opposite. After a big offensive where I destory most of it's to...  [Read More]

The main purpose of it is so you can find those last couple of units without spending 30 min to do it. If you try to buy the upgrade while the game is in full swing it will cost 6000 nova but after your oppnents have been beat down it becomes more re...  [Read More]

The first thing you have to do is go and take over every planet that you can. You're not going to be doing anything with a 78 unit limit. Use smugglers or C3P0 & R2D2 to look for the easy planets to take. Then move to the harder ones. By the time...  [Read More]
