are there going to be any?
if so, what units will there be?
-
By indigenous, you mean the population on the maps (like Ewoks, Jawas, etc)? Or units that can only be produced on their planet of origin (like Wookiee Warriors, etc)?
For what its worth, here are the past threads:

i meant like jawas etc. thanks.
-
The only new indigenous units in R1 will be Chiss Civilians on some EotH planets, Eickarie on Kariek and Kath Hounds on Dantooine. R2 and R3 will add several more on different planets, though.
-
I hate indigenous forces anyways, seeing as they're only cannon fodder at the best
-
actually, sometimes i find them quite useful on certain occasions.
-
Yeah, every once and awhile they're useful on Kuat, because they can capture the reinforcement point easily, but otherwise....
-
What about gungans and wookiees, they are not cannon fodder
-
You're right about the Wookies, but Gungans?!?!?!?!?!?
-
wookiees and geonosians are useful. mandalorians would be if not hostile.
geos are by health, the weakest units in game, but in numbers and weapons come in handy.
also, any unit is useful for capturing the RPs and buildpads.
-
Gungans dont have good health but their boomas are great for anti-infantry
-
will the mandalorians side wqith anyone in this game?
-
maybe they could be hirable using something like the blackmarket thing where you drag a certain hero onto Mandalore and you could purchase the Mandalorians allegiance for a certain amount of credits seeing as they relly didn't have an allegiance to anyone.
-
Well, i read that Fenn shysha is a rebel hero, so i guess it's rebels.
-
The Empire was oppressing Mandalore, and Leia helped the Mandalorians drive off the Empire, so the Mandalorians under Fenn Shysa started fighting the Empire. Fenn will be a Rebel hero, and when he's at Mandalore he can recruit Mandalorians.
-
thanks for clearing that up.
will it be mandalorian protectors he recruits? to my knowledge it was really just fenn shysha, tobi dala and goran Beviin keeoping the mandalorians together during the GCW.
-
I like that Arb, that'll probably make me play as the Rebels more than never.

I agree.Indigenous units need a serious upgrade, they're nothing but a minor annoyance.Honestly, if they're there, they should be a threat.
-
they're fine as they are. and there are some very powerful indigenous units, such as Geonosians (absolutely destroy unshielded vehicles like SPMA-Ts) and wookiees and Mandalorians. While the human/hutt/twi'leks/Gungans/Ewoks are weak, some are very powerful. they have to be weaker than you, really. it's the way of the game. they are not much of a problem as AI, but they can be useful when you use them for other uses, such as building turrets when there are none of your infantry nearby, and acting as a diversion, or buying you a little time.

AKA despensable and cannon fodder
-
Hutts are the biggest joke of an indigenous force in the game. They are slow, weak, and their blasters fire slowly and are little more then peashooters. Hell, they mine as well throw those guns and it would probably do more damage. But Hutts are supposed to be hostile to BOTH factions, which they more then deserve to be stronger, they should be able to do some damage, not just slow the invading faction down for like 3-4 minutes giving the defenders enough time to set up defenses. I forgot where I read this, but you could not only upgrade the Hutt's blasters some, maybe increase the rate of attack of them, but give them a TON of health. Eh? ???
-
agreed. i always thought the hutts should be more powerful.
-
Yeah, now i think on it, the Hutts are pretty weak. I mean, they're supposed to be hard to kill with blasters due to their thick skin, etc.
-
and being part of a criminal empire rivalling the empire for size it should have stronger civilians.
-
Hutts were also good at manipulating others, so maybe their hutt places could spawn various pirate troops and skiffs occasionally? Would add a little variety, the same could be done on Tatooine too.
-
tatooine should have a hutt colony in the north/north-east.
sounds too much like black sun, your idea, rend. however, if they were just to make the oversized slugs more powerful...
come to think of it, the Hutt Commando unit of the Black sun in FOC was pretty powerful.
-
Tatooine already has way too many indigs.
-
true. Jawas, hutts, tuskens, sarlacc, rancor...
-
Never seen any Tuskens ever before on Tatooine in FoC. Strange.. :( And yes it does sound black sunish, but they have the only pirate units in the game. The Hutt's had criminal empires, which was not a full time galatic empire, they used manipulation to control planets through local governments or corrupt officials, so I thought it would be a good idea to have mini Hutt pirate bases on planets like Nal'hutta, Tatooine, etc. It wouldn't be very powerful but enough to contest it for both the defenders and invaders.
-
you can always add pirate units.
For example, Warb_Null has made many great models.
-
Got a link for then? ;D
-

They're in the bottom left corner IIRC?
-
I've never fought them before.. I've seen them in the picture before the battle though if that counts for anything.
-
they were cut from FOC.
don't know why. they were powerful, but they fired too slow.
here's a link to the thread he has:
http://forums.filefront.com/sw-eaw-modding-mapping-editing/377377-dagger-starfighter-new-model.html
He's done quite a lot of good-looking models.
-
Oh yeah, they changed the Tatooine map between EAW and FoC didnt they. I never understood the point in that..
-

me neither. the Raiders had powerful weapons, but their rate of fire was so slow it balanced it.
-
I remember back when the demo for EAW was released, people modded it so you could play more of the GC (rather than just Hoth, Vergesso and Tatooine), they put the Tatooine map on all the other planets :P
