Empire of the Hand infantry new skin needed
« on: July 30, 2011, 12:37:02 AM »
Hello! I am a major major star wars fan, lol i mean i love for this stuff, and this one thing in this mod has been nagging me like a pimple on your nose, The Empire of the hand's Infantry are chiss, well yeah chiss did serve in the Hand but, they were not the only ones, The empire of the hand was imperials like any other imperial faction, and they wore Storm trooper armor, i have doubled even triple checked this by reading books and looking it up on the web, i'm correct and it should be changed in the next version, The new skin should be Storm trooper armor :)


Thank you!

Obi Wan: I suppose your right.

Count dooku: I'd kill you both right now if i did not have to drag your bodies.

(Obi and anakin mock Dooku)

The Empire of the Hand's soldiers in the mod are Phalanx troops, not the EotH's Stormtroopers. They had both. The personnel funneled from the Empire to the Empire of the Hand would have worn stormtrooper armour, as would several of the species native to planets thta joined the Empire of the Hand in the unknown regions, however the personnel sent to the Empire of the Hand by the Chiss would have been fthrough Thrawn's Household Phalanx, hence why the EotH infantry in the mod are "Phalanx" Troopers. The "Correct" way to do it would be to have both if we were trying to represent everything, however we only gave them the Phalanx Troopers because there's really no need for any faction to have two of what would essentially end up being the exact same types of infantry, and of the two it's better to have the unique one.

If you want to see examples of non-Stormtrooper armoured Chiss soldiers in the Empire of the Hand, read the Hand of Thrawn Duology. Really the only other book with EotH soldiers in it is Survivor's Quest, and the unit in that book (Aurek Seven) is part of the reformed version of the 501st that Thrawn made in the EotH, and that specific squad is already a hero unit.

Basically it's like saying not every New Republic soldier would be human. Obviously not, but there are things that have to be done to take into account the fact that this is a game.
